RP: Lost
Date: 2 February 2005
Characters: Neville Longbottom
Location: Somewhere in the rainforests of Brazil
Status: Private
Summary: Neville finds out the hard way that stepping off the beaten path can be... dangerous
Completion: Incomplete
Neville stumbled upon the clearing quite by accident, but he was so excited to see a square foot of land not covered by forest that he nearly dropped to his knees and kissed the ground. If his arms hadn’t been overflowing with the plants he’d obtained on this trip, he probably would have.
He’d known he would find many types of flora he’d only read about when he went into the rain forest, but when he happened upon a grouping of plants he’d never even read about, he nearly went faint with joy. That was actually what had gotten him into this mess to begin with.
He’d stored the plants already gathered in their respective pouches and started carefully digging up the new ones, not following along any prescribed path, and not paying attention to what he was doing. When he’d finally looked up-really just to push the hair out of his face and wipe his sweat-damp brow-he’d realised that he’d gotten himself a bit… well… lost.
He’d tried to follow the spots of freshly turned earth back to the path, but he’d ended up just walking in circles. He had no idea how he’d done it, but until he’d found this clearing, he’d really been in a fix. He wasn't certain how long he’d been in there, but he determined by the position of the sun that it had been several hours at least.
Shaking his head wearily, he walked along the perimeter of the clearing until he spotted what looked to be a well-worn path. Deciding he had nothing to lose, he stepped onto it and back into the forest.
Where it proceeded to rain on him for the next four hours.
