Doors

[Just after midnight on the 21st.]

[Call to Stella H]
[Ring]

[After the midnight opening of the Passages Hotel, the hotel's lights remain on around the clock. It's not strange for Las Vegas, but the lights that flicker in the windows of the largely-abandoned building are not modern or electric. The flames that illuminate the dusty glass are from muted candles in sconces, and they never brighten, no matter what time of night it is. The hotel doors are always open to anyone holding a key for one of the doors, and while there are no permanent attendants, the hotel is always stocked with books in the library, water in the pool, and food in the kitchen. Las Vegas residents without keys will always find their entrance barred.

Most importantly, beginning Monday, keyholders may cross the thresholds into their Door Worlds at will, allowing their Alters to manifest physically. Additionally, "journals" will begin to work on both sides of the doors, allowing characters and Alters to communicate with one another freely on the journal-network.]

How many of you actually followed the instructions on this thing and went to a condemned building at midnight on Monday at the behest of an invisible author?

I'm not much of one for Darwinian theory, but it didn't seem like a good idea to me.
