[A] Action: Dairy]

[Margot has definitely been tipped off that something is up during the early hours of the morning when the tv had gone on the fritz, waking her up from a booze induced coma on the couch.

It’s only amplified when, later, she tries to go out the backdoor to have a pre-breakfast cigarette and manages to pass through the door. She plays with this for a moment (in-out-in-out) before it becomes solid again, ramming her face rather painfully into the wood and feeling like a fool.

It gives her an idea, though.

For most of the morning, she listens in to the phone network, confirming that other strange things are happening (and, really, all she has to do is look outside at the drones to know). Before noon, after she’s taken a trip to the floor through one of the kitchen chairs, she works up the nerve to head out and towards the dairy, willing to try something.

It’s Dist’s words that urge her on -- things are falling apart. Time to act. She feels good about this, pumped. She can do it.

The dairy door is in sight, she keeps striding purposefully forward, almost there and...

BAM!

She bounces unceremoniously off the door and lands flat on her ass, rubbing her forehead.

Okay. It only worked part of the time with the door at home and then randomly with the chair, maybe it just needs a bit? She gives it a few more minutes and then tries again, but this time more cautiously.

Same thing. Solid as a rock.

She can be found at this for the next several hours with absolutely no success whatsoever. Gold stars for trying?]


[B] Phone]

Has anyone else tried going through the walls of the dairy or city hall or the post office? It seems like things are -- are flickering. Like something is wrong with the illusion?

I tried myself, but had no luck. Maybe someone else will get it.

[And yes, someone does sound bitter about this.]
hasacondition: (so... yeah)

[Sherlock had tried something similar at City Hall already. He was glad he wasn't the only one to think to try the places that seem to be the root of all their troubles. It was solid as a rock. And now he sees this place is as well. He files it away for later information.]

Don't hurt yourself. I don't think it's going to let you in.

[But this is very interesting indeed. Everything else is - phasing in and out of existence, but not these two buildings. That has to mean something, right? He can only assume the same is true for the Post Office.]

[Sherlock moves to stand between her and the building.]

Any chance of what?

[He winces sympathetically]

Is the idea something like 'get a concussion,' because there are easier ways. I could point you in the right direction, even.
hasacondition: (but who's really counting?)

[Bruce has had the spectacular luck to only get creepy Poltergeist TV screens, so he therefore smiles like he's talking to a crazy person.]

So maybe wait on dairy products?

You'd rather hurt yourself proving something that you've already learned. I was wrong... you are an idiot.

Well, you're not a complete idiot. At least you're trying. I tried over at City Hall...

[He will have the bruises tomorrow to prove it.]

[He nods.]

It's how I knew to stop you. Otherwise, I would have let you keep going...

[To see just how big of an idiot she is.]

...Aren't these places usually open to the public? The door works better, generally, less need for medical treatment.

[He shrugged.]

It was worth a try.

[He offers his hand.]

Perhaps. But I want to know why. Why are these places immune to such things? Does this mean that they are the only 'real' things here?

[Sherlock is mentally taking in everything around them.]

[Cain will just stand and watch.

And maybe laugh a little.]

All the more reason not to try and force your way through the wall.
