Doors

[The memories go as quickly as they came. But in Passages, something has changed.

The front desk, the one that appeared months earlier, now has keys in the slots against the walls. The keys open doors to rooms, scattered throughout the hotel, that allow Alters and Las Vegas characters to interact, to be physically in the same space for a limited span of time - sometimes once a week, sometimes only once a month, sometimes not even that, a few hours at the most. The only requirement is that the Las Vegas character slip a key into one of these rooms, and that the Alter exits their door with the intention of being there. A Las Vegas resident can never meet their own Alter, and it's hit and miss at the best of times, but sometimes, sometimes it works.

The keys wait, cleaned and polished, once the memories fade.]

No need to have a long conversation. Simply assure me that you haven't killed yourself lately, and we can both move on with our lives.

Doing well?

A brief check: everyone is alive, and less than completely mad?

You need to make time for Arya before the end of the week. [...] Please.

[From her happy spot in the looney bin. Two calls, back-to-back, which is all she's allotted. She starts to give them Neil's number, but she catches herself and stops. She doesn't actually know Tess' number. Both calls are placed by nurses, who verify with whoever responds that it's ok to put the call through before actually doing so.]

This place is a bloody riot. A good romp, either of you? Both of you? Threesomes are quite American, if the tabloids are to be believed.
