Who: Anyone who wants to have a comfortable but bad time.
What: Some Spoop at the Overlook: Haunted Psychic Hotel of Doom
Where: Sidewinder, Colorado
When: Length of the Halloween Plot.

During the warm summer and spring months, The Overlook Hotel in Sidewinder, Colorado does excellent business: visitors thrive on a wonderful view of the Rocky Mountains while being able to enjoy remote quiet and catered comfort.

In the winter though, the snow is too plentiful and dangerous to allow visitors to come and go freely — and so the Hotel becomes a sleepy quiet place with less than a skeleton staff. The empty halls, fully stocked kitchen and bars and choice pick of rooms should be a delight for anyone who ends up there. But the halls are less empty and quiet than what they might originally appear.

All roads lead to Room 237.

Remus / Sirius

Sirius was quite clever. It just came out in a different way, not quite as obvious as Remus' cleverness. But Remus would always attest to how brilliant Sirius Black was in every way. Biased or not, it was the truth. He had no doubt eventually Sirius would've rearranged the letters himself.

Now, the real question was, should they open it? Because they absolutely should not, according to Remus' worries. No, they shouldn't open a door that spelled out the reversed word 'MURDER' in blood. By all accounts that was a terrible idea. Yet at the same time, fighting tooth and nail through his paranoia and fears of what might be on the other side and going through an impossibly high number of horrific scenarios of what they might find -- that tiny voice of reason was shouting at him what if it's the right door? Because something so obviously horrible could very well be the way out, given how twisted this magic of the doors could be.

"I think we have to open it."

Remus / Sirius

They probably shouldn't. Remus looked hesitant which usually meant something was a bad idea. Sirius wasn't feeling great about it either, but it wasn't as if things like this -- mysteries -- didn't usually lead to some kind of answer. Maybe not good ones, but -- well. Sometimes knowing was better than not.

"Not on," he murmured, but flicked his wand at the door anyway, effectively pushing it open.

It was dark in there, and something felt heavy, and it wasn't wise for either of them to be without a hand to defend themselves, so Sirius only pushed himself closer to Remus, until their shoulders were touching, and they stepped in together.

"Lumos," he murmured, pulling up a light.
