Second Floor Hallway; Sunday, all day.

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

The wee little turtle had finally made it back to the familiar hallway after a very strange day and sleeping comfortably in her shell in a corner of the stairwell, which was quite a task to manage. She kept a brisk pace down the hall toward her room, or, what was very brisk for her, ambling along in a lazy wee little turtle way.

A girl with a video camera followed the turtle for a little while, carefully filming her epic trek.

After his morning run, Cameron jogged up the stairs and into the hallway on his way to his room. He stopped when he noticed the turtle determinedly making its way through the hall.

"Pet or student?" he asked automatically as if he somehow expected the turtle to answer.

The turtle looked up at him and blinked. Pet or student? She was neither...she was a wee little turtle.

From way up, Cameron didn't even notice the blinking. "Uh... Okay. Need a lift somewhere? Or a bowl of water?"

The wee little turtle stretched out her neck, bobbing it excitely at the prospect of water. Water! There were no little puddles or pools for her to play in here, and she was feeling terribly dry.

Bobbing even Cameron could get. "Okay, just hang on a sec," he said. "I'll try to find you something."

He disappeared towards the common room and returned a little while later with what seemed to be the lid of an ice cream tub, filled with water. He carefully placed it down in front of the turtle. "Think that will do?"

The wee little turtle immediately started to waddle into the water. It was a very slow sort of immediately, but she was very pleased with the offering.

"Or you could do that..." Cameron said, having more expected the turtle to drink. Then again, it was a turtle so maybe that was dumb. "Need anything else?"

The wee little turtle was happily splashing her limbs in the water; if turtles could giggle, she'd be doing that. And she was pretty oblivious to everything else except possibly making a wee little mess on the hallway from her happy splashing.

Which was kind of adorable and there might have possibly been an "awwww" from Cameron.

"Okay, you have fun with that and try not to... flood the hallway. I'm in 223 if you need any help," Cameron said, not sure what to do with the turtle.

Splash, splash, splash, happy splash! This was even better than digging holes in the sand at the beach yesterday!

"Just don't try climbing stairs," Cameron adviced as he retreated to his room.

Before going into town, Jaye's prowling the halls in case she sees anything weird. And hey, turtle.

"John?" she asks, because you never know, maybe Rita Skeeter really is back. She takes a picture anyway.

It looked as though the wee little turtle's head was tilting in response to the question, and then she shrunk her head into her shell at the sudden flash of scary light.
