"I could use something to eat now. We walked a long way to get here."

She turns to the younger woman.

"Alicia."

Alicia gives a mocking salute and leads them to one of the cupboards lining the wall. She pulls it open. There's a microwave and a pile of food inside. 

"We usually keep stuff in the fridge but it's been a few days and nothing's good. We'll restock soon. There's the freezer," she points.

The cupboard contains mostly packaged sweets, nuts and potato chip along with a variety of condiments. The freezer has shrimp, mashed potatoes, meatballs, and a single frozen waffle in an otherwise empty box.

"Thanks."

Kyoya grabs nuts and shrimp.

"How long have you been here?"

Alicia shrugs.

"I haven't kept close track. About a year maybe?"

Miranda loads up on meatballs and potatoes, and eats some candy while waiting for the microwave.

"No luck finding a way out?"

She shakes her head.

"There's not a way out. Doors vanish the moment you're in. Didn't you notice? And I'm not about to risk my neck for something that doesn't exist."

Miranda has a phone charger with an AC adapter in her purse. She looks for a place to plug in her phone.

There are several outlets in the floor. A few are next to comfy chairs. 

"Hmm," Kyoya says, noncommittally.

"Would you mind introducing me to everyone?"

She and Kyoya go around. Kyoya meets everyone and smiles and learns their names.

Miranda listens with half an ear. She'll pick up everyone's names eventually if she lives here now.

After a while, Kyoya comes and sits by her.

"No one here is motivated to get out. The ones who were left already."

"Not motivated to go hunting for a way out, or wouldn't take a portal if one appeared?"

"Hunting. Most of them would love it if a door appeared right now."

"I assume if we do find one it won't work somehow to alert them to it."

"It might. If we can make a noise loud enough or find something they can see from a distance."

"And you'd expect it to stay put?"

"The others didn't disappear while we were looking at them. We could hold it open and wait."

"Good."

"IKEA probably doesn't have flares or fireworks. We could find a long pole and a flag, but it'd be difficult to carry."

"We could explode something metal in another microwave, if there's another to be found, but I don't know how well the sound would carry. Could catapult something into the air with a long piece of wood and a fulcrum."

"There might be extra microwaves in some of the restaurants. I'm not sure a microwave would be significantly easier to carry though."

"Aren't there carts?"

"Somewhere. We'll need to find a warehouse section."
