Beetle's INSPECTION CLERK DAYBOOk
O. BEETLE BEETLE’S VERY OWN HISTORY OF THE ICE TUNNELS
(work in progress)
Dear readers,
You may wonder why no one has ever told you about the Ice Tunnels. Well, you are not alone. Even though I am the Ice Tunnel Inspection Clerk, no one has ever told me anything either. But here is some stuff I have worked out.
1. The Ice Tunnels used to be just tunnels without ice.
2. In the old days, officials used the Tunnels to travel around the Castle underground.
3. Almost the entire Castle is connected by the Tunnels. Weird…
4. The Tunnels were sealed by the Emergency Freeze. This happened so fast that thirty-nine people were trapped

THE ICE TUNNELS
ONCE-A-WEEK INSPECTION DUTIES:
Travel the Ice Tunnels on Manuscriptorium Sled.
Check that all the hatches remain Sealed.
Report any suspicious hatches, e.g., with clear ice indicating recent ReSealing.
ONCE-A-MONTH INSPECTION DUTIES:
Travel every tunnel, even those without hatches.
Test ice samples at specified areas.
Report to CHS.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
Always secure sled, as it will wander off if left unattended.
Do not breathe in while Ice Wraith passing.
Always inform duty scribe of time expected to return.
Always ReSeal hatch to Manuscriptorium.
BEETLE’S ICE TUNNEL INFO
FAVORITE SPOT: The high slope on the way to the Van Klampff Hatch. The perfect spot for the Reverse Whizz jump.
LEAST FAVORITE SPOT: The tunnel to the Palace kitchen hatch. Too thin for any tricks. Also feels creepy.
GHOSTS: Usual mix of officials, Wizards and tramps. Avoid those trapped in Emergency Freeze if you can. Some of them are still panicking. Not nice.
ICE WRAITHS: The worst is Moaning Hilda. Hold your breath as she goes past or she’ll freeze the breath inside you. Cover your ears or she’ll burst you r eardrums. Other Ice Wraiths much less powerful.
MOANING HILDA
BEST SLED MOVES
JUMP: Free catching air at the top of a steep hill.
DECK-UP: Riding on the rear edges of the runner. Backwards alley:
BACKWARDS ALLEY: Riding backward.
SPIN REVERSE WHIZZ: Once around and then coming to a stop with a backward slide.
DOUBLE SPIN REVERSE WHIZZ: Twice around and then coming to a stop with a backward slide.
