Turn 5 – two gates appear at midnight.

This and the previous strip actually solved two problems I had backed my self into through a bit of serendipity.. First there is no trinket building in the opening shot. Two, the description of the city left little room for locations. By having the trinket shop disappear a diner be open 24 hours I was able to provide somewhere for the story continue.

This other worldly portal is the original idea on how color was going to be introduced into the strip.
