Funny, they've already got folk here who can control the weather and affect your dreams. She doesn't go about mentioning that, of course. Everything will work itself out in due course. Instead, she focuses on their questions in the most pressing order.
"No, nothin' can go through your door unless y'escort it out. I think of it as kinda like a special key built into your touch; someone else opens the door, it opens t'their world. You open it, it opens t'yours. So folk can't wander in an' out of your world, unless that happens t'be where they already come from. Where did y'say y'were from again?"
Kate doesn't know everybody, but she knows a fair few. If anybody else from their town comes here, she might know.
"Ah, as for there bein' a pattern — no, I don't think so. The door always changes for me 'cuz I'm never in one place very long; maybe someone more stable gets a stable door, but I couldn't say for sure. The Miss has this uncanny way of knowin' what works best for everybody. Ah, but I do know that if y'bring somethin' back with you, say a napkin or a coaster, it makes it easier t'find your way back here.
"Everybody's subject t'the same rules, but there are animals in the forests here. Far as things t'watch out for go, we've got these nasty li'l critters most folk call demon bunnies; they got red eyes, an' belch fire. I know, but I'm serious. They don't often wander outta the woods, so as long as you're not trompin' through after dusk they mostly leave you alone. Everythin' else is pretty harmless. Birds, squirrels, the squid in the lake."
