Archaeology Club - 4pm, Selkie Cove

Evie was jumping up and down, standing in front of the entrance to one of the sea caves, as much from excitement as a need to keep warm. She had her map, electric torch, mackintosh, several mining hats with lights on them, chalk, rope, and her notebook.

Time to find the Albatross!

"Should we split up, or stay together?" she asked. "I rather think we should stay together, but the cave does fork into two paths just beyond the entrance."

[ocd going up!]

Evie took it, and after a minute of holding it steady, it finally decided the north was the same direction as left, and she breathed sigh of relief. "Good lord. I was afraid we were on a deposit of some type of iron or bizarre Fandom rock, and we'd never find our way in, much less out." She checked her watch. "We've got an hour and a half. Surely we can find one shipwreck in here in that time."

"Or die trying!" Blair cheered happily. "Only not literally because that would suck."

"Then let's go!" Evie turned to the cave entrance, adjusted her hat, and pointed. "Onward!"

Blair bounced after her, shining the light on his helmet over the walls. "Wouldn't it be cool if we found a sea monster inside these caves?"

"Ooooooo, yes!" Then Evie thought about it a moment. "One that doesn't eat people, yes?"

"No eating people ones. Maybe one that guards shipwrecks." Blair rubbed his hand along the cave wall. "Two birds with one stone and all."

"That would be perfect," Evie agreed, hopping along over rocks and driftwood. "But if it's the other kind, we run away, right?"

[ooc: night!]

"Quickly." Blair nodded. "And in the opposite direction."

"That's all right, then." Evie adjusted her hat, and the light played crazily across the cavern. Water dripped down the walls, drip drip drip DRIP drip, and the floor gave under their feet, just a little; still sand, not stone. She stopped at one overhanging stalactite and made a mark on it with chalk. "It's fluorescent, isn't that clever?"
