[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?

Finnick's aware that he's not particularly trusted in this place, and he's given people here little reason to think he's interested in anything except himself and Annie. There's nothing anyone can do about who they're stuck in here with, though, and if Finnick's going to work with anyone towards getting out of here, at least it's someone who's helped him in the past and never seems to have held his and Annie's unease with the people here against them.

So he follows her, and when he sees the candle, he bends and picks it up, careful to hold it steady to support the flame.

"You haven't needed any keys to the Inn before now, have you?" he asks. He doesn't remember anything about there being any -- after all, most of the places people are living now hadn't been locked at all or nobody would have gotten into them without breaking either the door or a window. But Kate Kelly's been here longer than he has, so he's aware that there might have been something about keys before he arrived.
