"Sometimes people can open Milliways doors to a location other than the one they entered from. If you could get the door to your home, we could get Connor and - what's her name?"

Permalink

"Zana. Uh, Suzanna Tiu."

Nod. "So we're hoping you can do that. If you can only get the door to Wolfram and Hart, we have other options. But Karen - it's really really important that you don't go through to Wolfram and Hart and let them in here. They'd be able to expand their operations immensely, and everyone everywhere would be in danger. It wouldn't help Connor or Zana, whatever they may have promised -"

"Yeah. I know."

Maybe it wouldn't be true for everyone, that it couldn't help. But she's not smart enough or special for it to not be true of her. 

Permalink

"Okay. Then we can go try it, whenever you're ready."

Permalink

"I'm ready. I think. It's just opening a door."

Permalink

"Okay."

Permalink

So she opens the door.

It still opens to the supply closet.

Permalink

"Can you try, like, thinking about the door to your home - concentrating on it maybe -"

Permalink

"I can try?"

Still a supply closet.

Permalink

"S'okay. We'll figure something else out. Thank you."

Permalink

"Yeah. Sorry."

She doesn't know why she's the one apologizing, it's just kind of a reflex.

He reaches out as if to hug her and then stops himself. "We'll look into this more and let you know if we need anything else from you. I think we might need, I dunno, your original clothes or something for targeting for a dimensional transit spell. Do you want more games in the meantime -"

Permalink

"I'm good. Thanks, though."

Permalink

He looks at his awkwardly extended arm and pulls it back. "Well. Knock if you need anything."

Permalink

Nodnod.

She'll just... wait. With her probably not a trick replacement sister and the other Karen's immortal dog.

Permalink

It's not a very long wait. "So the best option for transit actually needs about fifteen pounds of stuff from the target dimension, thirty if we want to send two people. I don't suppose your paperwork was very very heavy?"

Permalink

"No. There's - probably that much stuff in the supply closet, though?"

Permalink

"- yeah, probably. Are you okay opening the door again so we can haul it out? I could sense if anyone was approaching."

Permalink

"Yeah. I can do that. Doesn't sound very hard."

Permalink

"Okay."

Permalink

So she opens the door again.

Permalink

He decides to leave some probably-just-cleaning-chemicals alone and haul a mop and a fire extinguisher and a bucket out instead.

Permalink

And someone else walks through one of the walls and into Milliways.

 

"Well. This's weird."

Permalink

- well, mops can be stakes pretty fast.
