The large oak double doors loom over Alex and Elliot! The knocking is rewarded with... deathly silence! In fact, for a moment it seems as if the entire world is silent... save for their breathing and the beatings of their hears. The large mansion towers over them, as if waiting and watching... as if contemplating swallowing them whole.

The driftwood isn't that difficult to find. In addition, the jungle behind him seems to have plenty of branches and twigs about -- he can reach them without going to far in. If he continues to just focus on the wood, he'll have a nice pile going in a short order! That wasn't too difficult! It takes him several hours, but he'll get done before sunset -- or by the position of the sun it looks like it's only middle of the afternoon. He could take a nap again. Or go for a swim. Walk along the beach. Contemplate life, the universe, and everything. ...there is an entire island out there for him explore! Or preparing the signal fire is also a good plan.

As for Bostwick? The brook is at the edge of the meadow -- marking the border between it and the dark looking forest. Small shrimp like things crawl along the bottom, as fish swim merrily about. The water is crystal clear, being as transparent as glass. It looks cool and inviting! There are some ducks a ways down, even likely nesting nearby. Reeds and flowers grow along the bank -- not that many shrubs or trees on this side of the water.

There is a door alright! It's on the far wall, and there looks to be a button labeled 'open' on it. The factory around him thrums with life still.
