+1 NEW ROOM
The Adventures Of Shrump Boondoggle
Day 11
We’ve found something new in the basement! Our party reached the end of what felt like an endless stretch, with only an ornate, elaborate door waiting for us…No one really wanted to approach it for some reason, as if we were more scared of the unknown than the familiar (and horrible!) basement we’ve been wandering for days. I was the first to speak up and say we should check it out, because while none of us felt like it was likely to be a way out of here, I still got a hunch that it was important!
And boy, I don’t even know if I’m right on that still!
The door gave way to a whole…observatory! Even though we’re supposedly underground! Beautiful gold accents and flourishes on all kinds of equipment, with a dome ceiling covered in star charts…I’ve never even seen the stars before, so imagine my delight when there’s an actual telescope! Mist even held me up to take a peek, though all I really saw was what she calls “space dust”. Even still, I thought it was sooooo pretty.
The walls are lined with shelves and boxes, and there appears to be multiple stories to this area. We’re holed up in what appear to be whoever worked here’s personal quarters for the night- there’s actual beds! So comfy!
Tomorrow we’ll probably explore around here a little bit…there’s a lot of books to read and diagrams to study. Simon doesn’t seem all that interested in any of it, and is mostly just trying to keep from lighting anything on fire by getting too close. I’m excited for a little break from walking around, and everyone agrees it could be good to take a load off and gather thoughts about our situation…
…I still don’t know what to make of it all. I remember being a lawyer in the outside world, and I remember being good at it. But…so much is messy and scattered in my head…Memories of things like growing up, they’re so sparse and weird, and it makes me sad…
…even sadder knowing that I have the most recollection here…Simon says he’s been in more than one of these houses before, but he seems to remember almost nothing from his life prior. Mist remembers people, but doesn’t seem to want to talk about it.
I don’t know what to make of it…
But! But!!!! I think we’re getting along better with every passing day! Even Simon, who seemed so repulsed by me on our first day, has admitted that my ability to fit into small spaces has come in useful for checking nooks and crannies- I was even able to help find the key to the very quarters we’re staying in now under a very low desk! I’m so glad I’m able to make myself useful <3
