"I doubt he set it up, but I strongly suspect he left it hanging open."
Rebecca eyes her surroundings - and the stranger - for a few moments. "In your case, however, I rather doubt it."
Jack is many things, but stupid enough to drag complete strangers into the Warehouse for the sake of a joke when he could just pull in the desk girls? Not so much.

[lunarwolf]

"I thought I was going into my rooms." And this? This was not his tiny little near-apartment, with its kitchenette and bathroom. This was far from it.

[abetter_shot]

"Making this... a bar that randomly abducts people?" Rebecca frowns. "No wonder we've got a door to it, then."
Really, that's Artifact material if ever she's heard it.

[lunarwolf]

"What do you mean?" he asked, having to wonder - someone having a door to it as a matter of course? He was still wondering if this was a threat that he needed to return to the Animarium to deal with.

[abetter_shot]

"It's... we retrieve dangerous objects." She hates using Jack's phrasing for it, but damn him, it's entirely accurate without saying a thing about the nature of the job. "And I can certainly see where a door that I suspect goes here and only here would be considered dangerous, or at least inexplicable."
She's reserving judgment on the place as a whole, so far, until she can find out a bit more.

[lunarwolf]

"...I'm not sure about dangerous," he admitted. He didn't have any of his usual sense that he should tense and prepare to be attacked and hadn't since he'd walked in. "But I agree that it's inexplicable."

This wasn't Org sorcery.

[abetter_shot]

"Very much so."
She is, however, beginning to wonder if it might not be a joke on Jack's part. For one thing, she doesn't see him anywhere around, and he likely would have stuck around just to see the look on her face. (This isn't to say he's completely off the hook, of course.)
"Where are my manners? My name is Rebecca."

[lunarwolf]

"Merrick Baliton," he returned, though he didn't really offer his hand for a handshake. "And I'm glad to see I'm not the only person confused by this place." A part of him was starting to like it, though - in a purely instinctive way that drew only on memory and not at all on rational thought.

[abetter_shot]

"Pleased to meet you, Merrick. I would have had a bit more to go on had the door been properly tagged, I admit. Given that it isn't, we've likely had it for a while now."
She'll have to have a look at the style of the thing and see if that can give her any hints as to when it originated; it just might predate this Warehouse.

[lunarwolf]

Well, there was one thing he could say. "It has multiple entries. I've met one man from England as confused as I am. And my room was in North Dakota."

[abetter_shot]

Rebecca smiles a little, at that. "Funny, we're in South Dakota. It's not often I meet other people who know the area."
She suspects that whoever commissioned the Warehouse did that on purpose (though she's read a few things in her free time that suggest it's a break from tradition).

[lunarwolf]

He gave her a faint smile - not much of an expression, really, but the closest to a smile that he's shown so far. "I think I've been almost everywhere in the last years. I liked Montana. Arizona was too hot and dry. I almost stayed in Brazil."

[abetter_shot]

"I haven't had many opportunities to leave the States, so far - though the way some of our cases go, it's only a matter of time. Can't say I'm particularly fond of the South, though."
It's a combination of the attitudes and the climate.

[lunarwolf]

"I've walked through, but I've not really stayed for longer than it took for me to get on a boat," he shrugged. "It was easier to board to Brazil there than anywhere else."

[abetter_shot]

Rebecca raises an eyebrow. "Walked through? That sounds like it took a while."

[lunarwolf]

Merrick very nearly smiled. "Walking does take a while. But I like it."
