Into the Insolitus

Who: Those going on the expedition
What: Finding Bits! An expedition
When: December 27, 9am
Where: The Insolitus
Rating: G-PG?

As nine o'clock approached, one would find one Alan Bradley making final preparations outside the Insolitus. Backpack filled with supplies over his shoulders, he was examining the notes from the last venture into the Insolitus once again. He'd copied them into the new journal for easy reference.

Soon enough they'd be well on their way into the dark. He'd armed himself with a Grid baton but had a flashlight and extra batteries just in case. He didn't want to be stuck inside, lost, for a month or more, as the Castle had been known to do. Hopefully Gibson's energy nodes would be on the way, but you never knew. The Castle - and the Insolitus especially - were everything but predictable.

He and Dairine had been the first to arrive - which made sense, considering they'd been the ones to propose the idea - and waited for the others to arrive as nine o'clock rolled around.

It's rare that he sees Dairine acting so much like a kid, but this is certainly one of those occasions. Her excitement for the expedition seems to have outweighed her pride, and it's almost like she's an entirely different person.

Well, except for the patience. Dairine, in his experience, has never dealt well with waiting or with inaction.

As nine o'clock finally chimes on his watch, Alan hides his smirk and looks to the assembled expedition-goers.

"That's nine. Is everyone all set?"

As much as Dairine would like to deny it, under all the brains and responsiblity, she is still a kid. Usually she hides that part of her away, in order to gain more respect while on errantry or in school. Sometimes, though, her childish enthusiasm shines through.

Waiting has never been easy for her, no matter what the circumstances. So Dairine is extremely glad to hear Alan's announcement. Finally!

"Ready!" She hops up, folding the map back up and placing it in her pocket. Leaning back down, Dairine scoops Spot into her arms.
