Passages Inn OTA

 photo Passagesprofilepic.jpg


There are Inns out there that exist between worlds and dimensions. They show up just when you need a place to stay, your car having stalled out a mile away or the unexpected rainstorm suddenly starts dropping torrents of water. Or sometimes you’re wandering around the streets in a city and need a place to stay and you spot the door to this Inn which looks friendly and inviting. Going in, things are just a bit off. The patrons are perhaps not quite human; the man behind the desk smiles a bit oddly. However he tells you that you’re in luck. There’s just one room left and you can have it.

But, when you leave the next morning and turn around to see what it’s called, the inn is gone. When you ask people about it, they look at you funny as if they have no idea what you’re talking about. There was never an inn there, they tell you.

And yet you may still have the key in your pocket, the leftover from dinner, a note from a girl you spoke to, just some little token that says well, maybe you’re not completely crazy.

The Passages Inn is one of those Inns.

Built in the middle of an interdimensional nexus it can reach any time or place or space. You just need to find the door and you can come in. If you’re lucky you can find the door again.

Just remember, first Tuesdays are Viking Night and second Thursdays are Poetry Slam.

The proprietor of the Inn is Alec Troven [personal profile] element_wizard All questions and concerns may be addressed to him.

Jerking his head up with a start, Theo's hand slipped and ... as his luck tended to have it ... the pick snapped. Frustrated, but not at Valiss, he tossed the remains of the pick onto the table.

"Oh for fuck's sake," Theo growled softly before giving an exasperated sigh. "Yeah... well..."

Valiss flicked through the range of metaphors people had used to teach him how to get a lock open and discarded most of them as too obscene. "You're acting like the lock's done you wrong. If you're pissed at a lock, you'll never get it open- you've got to coax, not just jam your tools in."

No one taught Theo how to pick a lock, he's been teach himself, which probably explains things.

"You make it sound like it's alive," he said, but with a smile as opposed to snapping in irritation like some might do.
truthtwister: (ah)

"Well, if I'm honest- and I always am-" There's a grin you should never trust- "It's more about what your feelings are doing to you than what they're doing to the lock. Picking the lock is all about small movements, and when you're upset you're more likely to get jerky."

Grins get idle raised eyebrows. "Really, people who say 'I'm always honest' usually are the ones you shouldn't trust," Theo said. "That being said, I can see a bit of your point."
