Thoughts from the panic room

[caranfindel]

I'm working on a fic with a scene that takes place in and around Bobby's panic room, and I suddenly realized - that place locks from the outside. Why would you want a panic room that locks from the outside? Shouldn't the lock be on the inside? Otherwise, whatever you're hiding from can just lock you in and leave, right?

Also, I had a medical test done recently that required me to lie on a cot with my arms hanging straight out over the sides, like this. (No, there was no devil's trap on the floor - not that I noticed, anyway.)



And you know what? That really hurts. After just a minute or so, my arms, especially my elbows, were extremely sore. Filming this scene must have been excruciating.

LOL that's an excellent question. XD I like the explanation offered above. What's funny about the panic room is, it was in the basement, yeah? So even if the house burned down, I imagine this steel-plated underground room is still around. Since Bobby's dead and I assume his property is now property of the state, what...did they do with it, exactly? Did Jody step in and do some damage control? Because I imagine if they found that, and all the other crap in Bobby's house, they might feel inclined to snoop around the rest of the grounds for a while, and find all those bodies buried there, uh. We know there's at least one kitsune out there--I can't imagine what else!

Yeah, that one's crying out for a fic. What they found at Bobby's after the fire. Yikes.
