A hotel--the Norfinbury Inn. By hotel standards, it's not especially large, but it's the largest building in the downtown area. The lobby is mostly empty and seems a bit old-fashioned in design, with what appear to be wooden floors and fairly plain walls. There are a few cozy areas where people can sit, and a fireplace in the center that, while it has no wood, is in perfect working order. The front desk has nothing of note except for all the keycards to the various rooms of the hotel. It looks like there are a total of twenty rooms. There is no elevator--looks like you'll have to use the stairs the old-fashioned way.

There is a small dining room area, although there are no tables or chairs to be found. The room echoes uncomfortably due to its emptiness. It connects to a small industrial kitchen, although there is no longer any food or appliances to be found. It seems like the ovens and stoves were cut out of their places. The sinks still work, at least. There is also a door that unlocks with a management keycard that can be found in the lobby that leads downstairs.

The basement is very simple. It's colder down here than in the rest of the building, and utilitarian in style. There's a small break room, a laundry room that no longer has any of its machinery but does have large rolling baskets for moving clothes in bulk (that refuse to leave the hotel, unfortunately) and some cleaning carts devoid of cleaning supplies (that are just as stubborn as the clothes baskets). There's a small room with space for what must have once been a furnace--and an actual very old-fashioned incinerator. It's not on, of course, but if a fire were started manually, it would still function. There's nothing inside it.

The first floor of the hotel contains rooms 101 to 110. There are five single rooms and five double rooms. All of the plumbing works, though the water runs cold. The second floor, containing rooms 201 to 210, is identical to the first floor, except for one door that has no key. It's unlocked--going inside reveals an empty room covered in pictures of an eye, drawn in black paint. All of the eyes have been scribbled out with black pen.

Both. Both of us.

[ Royce goes quiet for a while, eyes closed. He doesn't know what to say or do, and he's still jittery. He feels like his head's being pulled in a bunch of different directions. ]

I don't want to.

I need to. [ Royce murmurs. ] I have to remember all of this. I won't have it taken from me.
bywolves: (ugh.)

Mm. I need to remember it all. Memories are what make us. But you can imagine that I'm not particularly thrilled about having to recall being disemboweled. [ He tries for sarcastic, but it doesn't quite work. ]
bywolves: (distant stare.)

[ Royce shakes his head. ] Manzant was worse than this. I'll survive.
bywolves: (slight worry.)

[ Royce nods. He doesn't like to talk about it, but he did bring it up. ] Salt mine.

We have food and water here and it is a certainty that it'll be there, for now. As long as that's true, this place will be better than that.
bywolves: (ugh.)

I'd take this over a second stay, Solomons. It was a different sort of horror.
