To keep your balance you must keep moving
Permalink  
 


The day is bright and sunny, it's hard to think of anything nightmarish in the bright yellow light of the sun, but there's so much dark information hidden inside that note book, and what could the missing pages hold?

The apartments are less then a block from the Happy Burger, the place Morris Strub spent the last of his days before something came for him, maybe something in those missing pages, maybe somethign he didn't have a chance to write about.

The Grand market is on the left side of the Street and on the right are different restaurants and shops.

The happy tourist town of Silent hill passes behind the glass of the car windows a pretty lie.

Walter drives along slowly through the streets, he has remained fairly quiet, but a tense nervousness has been around him ever since the Happy burger..

Terri waited a little while, watching the scenery go by before she turned towards Walter and said, "Talk to me, Sugar - what did you see?" Far from sounding judgemental, her tone was quiet and concerned.

Walter grips the steering wheel, keeping his eyes alert and on the road licking his lips lightly a moment.. "A guy.. Wearing a yellow surgeons jacket or something.. Was outside the shop. I could hear him saying "I'm Listen. I'm Always listening. I'm Listening." He stops at a stop sign or red light long enough to rub his eyes, sweat beading on his brow despite the air conditioner being on even a little shake can be seen in him.. He is trying to freak her out like he used to as a kid, he has gotten a helluva lot better since then about his acting..

Terri reached out and gave his arm a pat, "Well, honey... I'll tell you what. After Morris' disappearance, and all the weird things he wrote in that journal..." she shook her head a little. "Whatever you saw, probably better that we stick together for awhile. I know I don't want to be alone if something else strange happens." 

Another pause, and she smiled a little, "For all we know, it was just Sawyer being... well, Sawyer, as best I can tell. I can honestly say, that's the first time anyone's tried to jog my memory by slamming their head into a door."

Walter smirks lightly, "Unless Sawyer magically developed the ability to telepathicly broadcast his throats by slamming his head into things, i doubt that. You didnt hear it did you..?" He starts going again headed towards Terri's apartment, "Lets go get your things, anything else you want to do?"

"No, I didn't, but then again I wasn't listening for it either." Terri stretched a bit in the seat. "But I don't doubt you did see something - you don't act like the type that's prone to making things up like that." 

She tipped her head thoughtfully at first, mentally going over the possibility of other places before she shook her head, "No, apartment and then the hotel - we can order in. Don't think you get out of dinner just because we're hiding from the police." Terri glanced over at Walter with a teasing smile.

Walter grins, "Who said I'm trying to get out of dinner, I've been making suggestions since Sawyer jumped in" he chuckles a bit, starting to relax some as he pulls up to the apartment and parking close by, getting out and opening the car door for her if she lets him, "And not prone to making things up?" he grins, "Remember the summer when i tried to convince all the other kids that the old apple tree was haunted from a bunch of people who hanged themselves in it, and if you looked closely you could see their face in the apple?"

Terri was quite happy to let Walter open the car door for her - she even took his hand and let him help her out of said car, as well. "Of course I do. But you never teased me like that. Much." Another little grin and to the apartment she went, trusting Walter to follow. 

((new thread now?))

The air is a little heavy by the time they get to the hotel, oddly enough for what ever reason a fog seems to have sprung up, it wasn't there before how it game in Transit is anyone's guess. When the two get out at the hotel they can hear the gentle sound of a music box playing from the open door of the Hotel.

Walter grins walking along with her, still looking around on occasion.. "I hate it when the fog suddenly rolls in.. Means theres going to be a storm or something.. Might be good to stop at one of the stores and get some candles or something.."

"Or at least a flashlight or two..." Terri squinted at the door to the hotel. "Do they usually leave it all open like this? Seems like it would wreck havoc on the air conditioning..." The music was odd too, but one thing at a time.

Walter nods, holding his cane a little different, wrapping his hand around the neck under the head like a club now, walking normally and perfectly fine.. "It ould just be how the day is going.. But i really dont like this.."

"I can't say I'm thrilled about it either, sugar." Terri glanced around again, and let Walter lead - both surprised and relieved that the necessity of the cane was a ruse. "Doesn't seem like there's anyone else around, either."

Inside the Lobby is something which was not there when Walter was there last, a large standing Music box.

The music box is facing away from the door however the sound is lovely and beautiful, it seems a little haunting since the lobby is dark. The Hotel seems completely empty.

Walter nods looking around, he grips the cane a bit tighter and moves over to the music box, looking for an off switch or something, "something is most deffinatly not right here.."

Terri kept an eye out behind them, just in case. "I can't understand where everyone would go... even if it was a fire drill, wouldn't they have all been outside?"

There are little figures that go into the music box and travel out, it's a very pretty antique with character's from fairy tales not the gaudy Disney versions but the ones that make you remember the characters came from the old country.

they slowly stop and the music comes to a halt as they do.

Walter watches the music box for a moment before moving back to Terri, "Im pretty sure apartment buildings dont have fire drills.. And even if they did, there would be some sort of alarm going as well.. Something is wrong here.." He stops for a moment, looking around then kneeling down rolling up the pants on his "bad" leg pulling out a small revolver, "This is a just in case.. Which are you better with, gun, or club?" he offers her a choice.

"Guess I'm just grasping at straws... no note at the front desk saying where everyone's gone off to, I suppose." She watched Walter crouch, and her eyes widened slightly upon seeing the gun. 

"... Let me have the cane, sugar. I've never had to shoot a gun in my life."

((oohhh))

Walter nods giving her the Cane. Rather a surprise when you get your hands on it as it is almost as heavy as an aluminum baseball bat, and is surprisingly sturdy. Walter takes a second to check the gun before putting it in his pocket holding it carefully, "Lets look around some But first sign of trouble we should get out of here, ok?" He starts making his way towards his room.

The two of them are faced with three ways to get to Walter's Room which is one of the bigger rooms in the Hotel; 211.
They can either head up the large stairs that lead to the second level which cut through the front of the lobby, or they can head through the door at the right of the entrence way to take the stairs.

Walter is also aware that the door to the left of the front entrence is the way to the elevator.

Terri took a moment to get used to the balance of the cane, listening to Walter as he spoke. "Alright. You lead and I'll make sure no one sneaks up on us."

Walter nods and makes his way towards the stairs, its a bit more of a walk, but better then being enclosed and blind in a box.. He starts up the main stairs watching the floor above just in case, "You know.. This would make a great book if it doesnt end horribly.." he smiles to her, trying to make a joke.

Coming up the main stair case there is a hall way with three wooden doors, the hotel would be very nice if it wasn't so dark. there are a big pair of double doors in front of them. Walter's room should be to the left.

"If you get a movie out of it, I'm the heroine then," Terri smiled a bit, letting the nervousness go somewhat in favor of practicality. There was probably a perfectly rational explanation for all this, after all. Some random evacuation that they just missed, coupled with a power outage... or something.

Regardless, Terri didn't stop keeping an eye out, just in case. Maybe the hotel manager would show up. Or a bell boy.

Walter smirks as he continues up the stair, but frowns a little at the dark, reaching into a pocket with his free hand pulling out his little LED light shining it down the hall watching the corners carefully.

"I'm pretty set against doing a movie.. A book is a book.. a movie is a movie, you try to make a book into a movie you loose everything in exchange for some mindless violence, sprays of blood, and occasional flash of knockers.. Besides, pretty much every movie company out there knows my conditions.. Total control, no crappy little half assed writers doing their "vision" of my books, And if they try to put in something i dont like, i can say no and can it right there if they dont want to drop it.. And if that happens im not covering any costs that have come up."

"The other problem is to do it properly the movie would be close to got knows how long" he grins wide, "Make the entire lord of the ring trilogy look like a 15 minute cartoon short.." He looks about before headed to his room, "Tell you what.. I do a book and i'll cut you in on what i make" he looks back to grin at her a moment.

The corners appear to be completely empty at this time. The door to the hallway seems to be jammed maybe there's something on the other side holding it maybe somethign is wrong with the locking mechanism, it's a little hard to tell.

"This is why you need your own production team, sugar - handle it all in-house," Terri teased a bit, though she continued to watch the stairwell behind them. She was still hoping for something nice and normal rather than a scenario that would give Walter his next best-seller.

Walter chuckles and nods stopping at the hallway door, frowning a moment, "Ok.. This is odd.." he braces himself lightly and thrusts his shoulder into the door trying to shake it loose of whatever might be blocking it"

The Door will creek but nothing more happens, it doesn't budge, there is an entrance that way through the elevator however.

The Hotel is silent after the attempts like an Alien Entity holding it's breath.

"Maybe we should just leave it be, sugar. Unless you've got an idea of how that room can be blocked from the inside when there's nobody here." Terri shivered a little at the silence - none of this felt right. Not at all.

Walter nods and sighs, "Right.. Just rather avoid the elevator... But guess no other way without causing millions in damage with my Manly physique" he gives he a small grin and begins down the stairs again making his way towards the elevator.

The large stairs don't go up to the third level, meaning that Walter and Teri have to go through the door on the opposite end of the hallway, they are able to enter without and issue, however there is a small rhythmic thudding sound coming from the Lounge Area.

There are to the right the stairs and the bathrooms and to the left a small hallway leading to other areas where the thudding is coming from and in front of them another door that leads to rooms.

"I'm thinking we probably won't like whatever's makin' that noise..." Terri had been somewhat cheerful by Walter's continual teasing. It was better than being alone. 

But of course, alone, she'd have turned the car around and driven the hell out of town.

Walter nods listening to the thumping sound, stopping abit in front of the door he peers around inside trying to see if he can spot whatever is making the noise.. "So, you might have answered this already.. But why did you choose to come back to Silent Hill of all places..?" He pulls his hand from his pocket still holding the gun, knocking on the door lightly waiting to see if the thumping changes or reacts..

"Hello? Is someone out there?" A Women asks from the other side of the door and then there is a pounding like someone banging there fists against the door making the door shutter a little, "Let me out! Let Me out!" Her screams seem to echo in the all too quiet hallway.

"I just wanted to get away from it all for awhile. It's --" whatever else Terri might have been about to say was cut off by the screaming, and she stood away from the door a little. Her gaze darted nervously up and down the hallway, just in case. 

Just in case of what, she wasn't certain.

"Calm down, Miss - we'll get you out if we can."

Walter steps back from the door blinking as the screaming starts, moving forward taking the door knob in one hand and trying it, "Hey! Calm down, we'll get you out of there real quick, Whats your name??"

He tries to open it, if locked looking for the lock on his side, if not "Is the lock on your side?? If so unbolt it"

"I'm Rosa I must have fallen asleep... there's no bolt the staff must have locked it, I guess they didn't realize I'm in here. I don't know where the key would be please let me out." The women says from the other side of the door there's one last thud and then a sound maybe a squeaking she probably slid down the door it sounds like she might be crying softly.

Terri looked up at Walter, "You want to try the cane, honey? Probably safer than trying to shoot the door handle - unless you know how to pick a lock."

Walter nods, looking around for a fire ax as well, "Im going to try bashing the door down, Get away from it alright?" He waits for her to give some sign that she is clear before taking the cane and gripping it by the walking point. He takes a deep breath and swings as hard as he can aiming for the lower corner not attached to the wall to break through there.

The door is not a fire door, but neither is it made a dent, the door shutters a little, This door is not a reproduction, it's a 100 year old solid wood door making the chances of getting through it about as good as getting through concrete. This is not a modern plywood door.

Terri flinched a little at the noise, then shook her head at the door. "More solid than I thought it'd be - that's small-town authenticity for you."  Another glance down the hall, and Terri slid a hand into her hair with a sigh. 

"Maybe there's a fire axe. Or a fire escape?"

Walter grunts as the club bounces off the door, hands tingling from the impact, "Ok.. They have really good doors here. Rosa, You still with us? Are there any other ways out aside from this one?" He looks about a moment, then gets a dumbstruck look then glances over at Teri, "Or.. I could have used my brain.. And gone down to the front desk and see if I could have found a Key.. You keep talking to her ok? I'll be right back." he offers her the Club back, and makes his way down to try and find the key.

"Yeah I'm fine, No this room doesn't even have an outside window in here it's pretty dark. So please hurry." the voice is pleading.

there are two other doors in the hallway, a cloak room right across from the lounge that Rosa is trapped in. Beside the door to the lounge is a room with a little gold plaque that reads "Reading Room."

At the far end of the hall is a glass window.

Terri takes the club back with a little 'well, nothing to be done for it' sort of smile. "We'll get you out of there, don't worry about it honey." She nodded to Walter, a little reassurance for them both that everything would be just fine. 

If they couldn't find a key then... well, maybe a trip to the hardware store for an axe to chop the door down? There just didn't seem to be a lot to work with in the hotel itself thus far.
