As soon as the girl sat herself down, the cart jerked forward reaching breakneck speeds in less than a second. Whistling forward, the cart weaved through turns and tunnels as it headed down into the depths. Finally reaching their destination, the goblin stepped nimbly out of the cart waddling over to the appropriate vault. Extending a finger along the door of Vault 506, Quizzit ran the talon like nail down the metal watching the enchantments melt away.

Stepping back, he gave the girl a small bow. "After you." Waiting patiently while the girl conducted her business, Quizzit found himself astonished at how fast she was done. With a jerky nod, he hopped back in the cart waiting to start it until she was safely inside.

With a loud rumble, the cart took off upwards. Careening uphill, the cart took the turns just as quickly as when it was descending even seeming to appear fall backwards a few times. Finally, they made their way out of the vaults and back to the corridor.


ooc: Since we didn't get to rp all the way to the vaults o.o you can just post here again exiting the cart.

Ariadne, however, didn't mind much. She was enthusiastic about travelling in a cart. 'Mum, this is just like the Muggle amusement park where uncle Tristan took me all those years ago.' the girl said cheerfully.

Climbing into the cart behind her passengers, Bijou sat herself in the appropriate spot at the front. What was this? From the sound of it, this was the daughter's first trip to Gringotts.

One long ear twitching in hearing, Bijou almost smiled at the little girl's enthusiasm. She did so enjoy young 'uns and their love for the Gringotts carts. They at least appreciated the fast speed while the parents seemed to think the breakneck pace inconvenient. Why, she never understood. You would think they'd appreciate getting to their valuables faster. But no! It was always, I feel sick, Can't you slow this thing to a reasonable pace, and who could forget Don't you know who I am? I could have you sent to Azkaban for this torture! Yes, older wizards and witches seemed to be a little testy. Which was why she liked children.

With a little cough to get their attention, her tone only stern rather than rude she ran through the standard warnings. "Please mind yer limbs. Keep 'em in the cart at all times and remember to hold on to yer belongings."
Because it was going to be a bumpy ride!

Smiling now, Bijou snapped her fingers expertly. With a jolt, the cart reversed the tiniest fraction before slingshotting forward at a speed that put brooms to shame, handling the sharp curves and dips at times with only half of the number of wheels. Teetering on high rises and whipping around with last minute change in directions, the cart whistled on, sloping downwards at times in an almost complete 90 degree fall only to pull out just before the occupants would splatter on the tracks; At which point Bijou might have even let out a small laugh. Might have.

The ride was long and winding at one point even rounding a curve where a sharp fiery flash of light was followed by an echoing beastly roar that rocked the cart on its tracks. Eventually though, the cart did begin to slow down steadily as they neared their destination.
