It took me about a good hour and a half of walking to manage to find the New York City Sanctum, to say that I was glad to see that building would be an understatement on my half. As I approached the door ready to knock I suddenly found myself back on the street facing outwards toward the road. I remembered walking up the steps, reaching out to knock and then just being back down on the street facing the road.
Now that could be a serious problem indeed I thought to myself.
If I can't even knock on the damn door how in the world am I going to speak to the Sorcerer Supreme. I tried a few more times but every time I reached out to knock right before my hand hits the door *WHAM* back to the Street I go. I must have looked like a proper crazy person walking up the those steps going to knock and then just turning around and walking back down the steps. I looked around my feet see if I could find perhaps or rock that I could throw at a window or door but then I thought to myself; Hey that wouldn't be the smartest idea to throw a rock at a magically warded building. For all I know it could just smite me down.
So new game plan, we'll pass a note underneath the door. First we need to find some paper, I asked where the nearest police station is and got to walking. As I walked in I was acutely aware that I was still in my PJs barefoot walking around New York City, I tried to project an air of I'm supposed to be here in this attire and that nothing was weird about this situation. The lady at the front desk she was kind enough to acquis to my request of some paper, envelope and a pen while giving me a look that said "If you start acting the slightest bit weird that id be going in a padded cell pronto."
I kept the message reasonably brief explaining my situation and my hoping for a meeting with the Sorcerer supreme at her earliest convenience as I'd prefer not to die a horrific death via an alien invasion or perhaps torture of the mind by who knows who. Note in the envelope, sorcerer supreme written on the front. We begin the 20 min trek back to the sanctum.
Now to say that I was pissed that when I took the envelope up those stairs hoping for this to be the one and only time I have to do this task would be an understatement. Cos when I went to slip the envelope underneath the door I must have dropped it and I found myself back facing the street once gain just like before except no note. I tried to just walk up there and push the note underneath that final few centimetres but the the damn magical warding would not have it.
So with the note clearly out of my grasp now but not quite there I have to go find a stick of some sort to push it the rest of the way hopefully. Didn't take long, 10 minutes or so just walking up and down the street looking for something long enough and the note is shoved under the door.
So now I just sit on the steps in my PJs barefoot sitting in the sun waiting for hopefully someone to pick up my letter and deliver it or at least read it and think to themselves "this person knows some things that I would preferably like to verify the authenticity of."
I'd say it was about four o'clock in the afternoon so the better part of the day has passed and the door opens; to say that I am happy to see Wong would be an understatement.
He asked me if I was the one that wrote the letter. I replied "You got it in one Wong". He seemed to take it in stride that I knew his name; perhaps he was the one who read my letter and realised that me knowing his name isn't the craziest thing considering what I teased in my letter.
"Is the Sorcerer supreme available for a talk?" I asked and he replied "yes." I also asked would it be alright if I got some spare clothes before meeting her, He looked at me and replied "That can be arranged Sam".
The Sanctum looks exactly as seen in the movie except even I can feel the mysticism in the air as I step inside. Wong immediately led me to some spare clothes before he slung his sling ring and created a ported to the one and only Kamar-Taj and my meeting with the sorcerer supreme.
