"...sure," she says, stepping inside.

Permalink

Close door. Open door.

Permalink

Maui!

The tourists on the other side will be mildly startled, but only mildly. 

Permalink

Yeong stares.

Then closes the door.

"What is this place?" she wonders, and starts exploring.

Permalink

It's a brightly lit motel room.

Unnaturally so. The light doesn't change, as sunlight usually does. It bathes everything in the same, constant, warm glow. 

There are various objects throughout the room which she can examine, if she likes. 

Permalink

Yes she will very much do so.

Permalink

A lamp, a coat, the bedsheets...most of the things in here seem completely mundane. 

Permalink

They always do.

She walks over to the window and tries to open it.

Permalink

Does she? 

The window doesn't budge. 

Permalink

Well what's behind it anyway?

Permalink

Outside the window is a view of a boring western landscape. Scrubby vegetation, cracked, dry earth, and the bright desert sun. 

Could be Arizona, could be New Mexico, could be California. The motel sign doesn't give a strong clue either way. 

Permalink

What about this phone? The TV? Do the lamps turn on? Is there running water in the bathroom?

Permalink

The phone is disconnected. The TV turns on. 

Lamps and water don't give them any trouble. 

Permalink

"I wonder if anyone has to pay bills for this place."

Permalink

"Probably not." She inspects the wall sockets.

Permalink

Wall sockets: exist.

Some are in use.

Permalink

Are they regular, modern wall sockets?

Permalink

They look a bit outdated, but the hinges look like they're always on the same side of the door.

Permalink

Yes well the hinges are incorrect.

"We can probably save a lot on electricity and water with this room."

Permalink

"Probably, but the part where the door can take us anywhere is much more interesting."

Permalink

"Anyway, what did you actually find with Stiles?"

Permalink

"Two magical things, apparently," she says, and leaves the room to grab them. She returns with the newspaper and the cross, then tries to demonstrate their indestructibility by ripping the corner of the newspaper off...

Permalink

The corner of the newspaper cooperates.

She now has a torn newspaper.

Permalink

She raises an eyebrow.

Yeong walks out of the room and tries ripping the newspaper again.
