Welcome to Gaia! ::

Another year for the Wanderlust Club, Vikram's baby... He was very proud of the small group of adventurers he'd gathered together, all of them enjoying the hiking and "urban" exploring of the castle. He wished he could take them on his exploring of the nearby villages as well, but he didn't want anyone else risking the trouble if they got caught. Sure, he didn't mind getting in trouble for leaving the school's grounds, but he wasn't about to put his friends in the same danger. For now, they would stay on school grounds and avoid extra detentions. Walking into the courtyard, Vikram set down his sign in sheets, put a weight on them so they wouldn't blow away, then climbed to his normal spot on the roof of the walkways around the courtyard. He debated climbing higher, up to the clock on the wall, but decided against it because there weren't any real places to sit. Instead he'd just sit up here to wait for the rest of his club. While he waited, he looked up at the Astronomy Tower, the last of the towers he needed to climb, and the tallest tower in the school. Conquering that tower would be his magnum opus. After all, he'd already climbed Gryffindor and Ravenclaw towers and they'd been pretty easy. A nice breeze blew through his hair and Vikram smiled. This is going to be the year, he thought to himself.

Seb was excited for wandering club, though he was also exhausted. Saturday was insane, especially with a Prefect meeting following dinner. Maybe he should've tried to sleep a little more last night, but instead... well. He left Art club a few minutes early, bidding aideu to his friends before jogging outside. Oh man, he was pooped already. Maybe he could ask Lewis where the fancy Prefect bath was and try to make himself sleepy that way. That was Mama's go-to strategy, anyhow.

But for now, he had other things to do. So far, he only spotted Vik and Bowtan, though they were both up on the roof. Dangit. He'd look like a weenie if he didn't join them up high. He huffed softly, shifting to climb the shorter edge of the railing. About halfway up, he missed his handhold, falling to land on his butt on the ground. Ah beans, that sent a jolt up his spine. "I'm... I'm okay. I'm fine." After all, he'd gone through worse pain this week.

The teen pushed up to his feet, then tried the climb back up. This time, he made it up successfully, then laid on his back with a heavy sigh. "See? I'm alright." He pushed himself back to sit. Looking around, he spotted the little stack of sign-up forms. "I'll fill that out later. Or... you'll probably do it for me." Seb lovingly punched Vik's arm, laughing at himself a bit.

Last year, Caoimhe had heard about a group of students who not only explored the castle and ground, but also climbed the school. Who wouldn't think that that was cool?!? Seoirse had tried to convince her it was dangerous, but she still went to check it out. She'd fallen once when she was trying the climb, but Caoimhe wasn't the type to just give up. After getting some instructions from an older student, Caoimhe had made the climb successfully. This year, she was going to try and do it from memory. As she trotted into the Clock Tower Courtyard, she saw that captain Persephone was already here, albeit up on the ledge surrounding the courtyard. Cool. Stretching her little legs a bit, the girl started her ascent. Remembering where to place her feet and hands was important as she climbed. God, she wished her little legs were a little bit longer. That would definitely make the climb easier. But she was tenacious and she would make it up there. After a few moments of strenuous climbing, Caoimhe was successfully on top of the walkway. "Whew, that was touch," she said, wiping some sweat off her forehead as she settled down beside Persephone. "But I'm definitely getting better at it!" She grinned like a kid in a candy store.
