[MINGLE] Glitches: Locked In

[sixthiteration]

The Inn is still a place that most of the villagers gather and, as such, a perfect place to conduct an experiment. Since it is a place of high traffic, it is not uncommon to see people come and go at all hours of the day and night; men and women come through to eat meals, to deliver game and simply to talk and catch up with others. If there's any bit of news or a new development within the village, it always spreads through the Inn like wildfire.

So what happens when the Inn is locked away from everyone else? What happens when the doors cease to work and the traffic in and out of the myriad doors is forcibly stopped for an afternoon and evening? Chaos? Panic? Both? Neither? That is precisely the hypothesis being tested today.

There are ways out, yes, but they're cleverly hidden. The keys are not in the normal, visible places they should be kept and each key fits a certain door. Additionally, those doors have to be opened in a certain order or nothing is going to happen.

How long will it take for the Inn to open up to the public again?

An element of Kira's own calm is Mark's presence--easier to keep level when you know you won't be the only one. It reins in his irritation for dramatics, the only good of which are those feigned, by him, for effect. Not every overreaction is low blood sugar, but the food will at least distract them for awhile; if it's another hour or two, he figures basic fire-minding and other chores might help.

Chores now including a hunt for keys.

Kira takes and chews through a bite of food before answering, coming out the opposite side of panic to: let me eat my fucking lunch. "No idea, yet. Figured I'd check around while we see if there are any more."
