there is something, wherever you haven't looked

This door was interesting.

Instead of leading to another place in the hotel, he found himself somewhere altogether different. For a moment, Loki wondered if this was going to be another form of being stranded - that he was hopping from one universe to the next, cutting himself further and further away from the world he knew, and making his way back would be a long and arduous journey. This did occur to him. He shut the door behind him anyway, and did not bother to open it again.

He stood outside of what looked to be a storefront. Like everything else he had come across lately it was Midgardian in its smallness and style, yet that was the only thing boring about it. The world he looked upon was grey and dim, and there was that sound, near silent but pressing in on the ears, of falling snow. Of course, it wasn't snow, and had been the first thing to tug at his curiosity.

Stepping out from under the overhang, he held out his hand, which looked startlingly pale in the light, and touched the ash that landed in his palm. He smeared it slightly. It wasn't volcanic, he didn't think. While the world was cool and dim he could feel a heat burning, though he wasn't sure where from.

"I think I like this place," he decided aloud. Loki did not feel alone, instead sensed that there was someone in his blind spot, hovering. Wherever he did not look he was missing a secret, a hidden danger, and that alone thrilled him. Caution be damned; he was tired of it. He set off, leaving bootprints in the ash.

"Jesus, it's like a sauna in here," Fiona muttered as she stepped in behind him, her palms already sweaty against the rough, rusted surface of her makeshift weapon. The space ahead of them was dark, darker than seemed possible, and every primitive, childhood monster-under-the-bed instinct within her screamed that should she allow herself to be swallowed by that dark, she'd never come back out. But the sound of the door had alerted their buddies back on the main street, and there seemed little choice once the clatter of running footsteps began to echo up the alleyway.

On instinct, adrenaline on high for reasons Fiona couldn't place, she heaved herself against the inside of the door, which scraped closed behind them with an agonizing screech. Pulse loud in her ears, Fiona leaned back against the door only to have an abrupt pounding on the other side startle her forward again, where she bumped into Loki and only barely contained her startled yelp.
