[As Logy keeps dragging his hand along the wall, he'll eventually come to find patches that are not covered in the sticky substance. They are few and in between at first, but if he continues... he'll eventually come across sections that are entirely dry. How far away will he walk from the door?

As for Escha — it's fine? It's fine! Because as soon as Escha pulls on the beads, she will discover that this is actually the light switch. The chain is attached to a fluorescent tube mounted on the wall near the entrance. It flickers precariously as it lights up, only barely providing enough illumination to see what's before them, but... it's better than nothing!

And more importantly, Escha and Logy will come to realize several things:

- There is a gigantic splatter of black goo smackdab in front of the entrance, staining the door, floor and wall near the door. This would explain the stickiness, unfortunately. Logy will find that the hand he is dragging across the wall is now covered in the stuff.
- There's a sink to the left side of the room, accompanied by some mops and buckets.
- Three shelves filled with janitorial supplies, including unlabeled plastic containers and industrial chemicals. There is one shelf to the right, one in the middle of the room, and one to the left.
- Boxes have been haphazardly shoved towards the right side of the room, spilling a little towards the rightmost shelf.
- Though they're barely visible due to the poor lightning, there are also three lockers pushed together at the back of the room.

All in all... It's a very bleak, dark room; jarring in comparison to the opulence of the rest of the ship.

Welcome to the supply closet.

Hope the musty smell doesn't bother them too much.]

[airshipped]

[He'll walk a few feet forward to see what's out there until the light turns on.

... Well that's gross, but also what if he sniffs the black goo? Does it have any odor?]

I wonder what made the stain.

[applechemist]

I don't know, but you should wash your hands!

[ Go use that sink, Logy! In the meantime, Escha is going to check out those shelves - see if she can tell what any of those chemicals are or find anything special hidden among them. ]

[fullthottle]

[When Logy sniffs the black goo, he will find that it smells like blood.

At first glance, Escha can see that the shelves are decked out with what appears to be a mix unlabeled chemicals and opaque plastic containers, all tightly sealed. There are three shelves in total. Which one is she checking first? The left, center or right shelf?]

[airshipped]

I will.

[But not just yet.]

The black stuff smells like blood.

[Exactly how large is the black goo stain?]

[applechemist]

Maybe it's demon blood.

[ She should probably sound more frightened by that, but. Doesn't. As for the shelves, she's starting on the left! ]

[fullthottle]

[Well. It's not an exact representation by any means, but this is more or less the radius of the splatter. Ew. Did something blow up in here...?

When Escha goes through the left shelf, she will find unlabeled chemicals and one large, plastic box. It's opaque and tightly sealed, so Escha will not be able to see what's inside without opening it. What shall she do?]

[airshipped]

It looks like something might have blown up. It'd be better if it was a demon.

[But he's thinking it was probably a human.

For now he'll go over to the sink and check if it's running.]

[applechemist]

Maybe it was trying to escape...?

[ And went SPLAT against the wall? But does that make it bad that they broke down the door, or is it splat and that means it doesn't matter? Ugh, who knows.

Escha makes note of the box, but moves on to the center shelf. She's still deciding whether or not she wants to try opening that. ]

[fullthottle]

[The sink is, indeed, running! Which is super unfortunate for whatever was laying at the bottom of the sink, because it definitely will sound like the water hit paper the moment it started running. O... Oops?

As for Escha, her findings in the center shelf will be similar. Many unlabeled chemicals, and an opaque plastic box that's sealed up tight.]

[airshipped]

[He immediately shuts it off when he hears the noise, and peers over to attempt to look at the paper? Is it actually paper?

There might be light, but there's not a whole lot of it.]

[applechemist]

[ ... For completion's sake, Escha checks the shelf to the right. Is it another of those boxes? ]

[fullthottle]

[Though the lighting is poor as shit, Logy will be able to see enough to identify what appears to be something about the length of his arm, from the elbow to the tip of his fingers, at the bottom of the sink. It's wrapped up in (now soggy) newspaper.

As for Escha... Yes. :)]

[airshipped]

[ There's a short pause before he decides to... Touch it (gross). What does it feel like beyond the soggy newspaper. It's any of it legible? ]

[applechemist]

[ I live in fear but Escha doesn't, so she's. Going to open the boxes. Starting with the one she's at, so the one on the right shelf. ]

There are so many chemicals here, I wonder if we could use any of them to make bombs...

[ On a demon infested ship in the middle of the ocean, Escha still wants to make bombs. ]

[fullthottle]

[When Logy pokes the soggy mystery item, he will find that it's surprisingly sturdy under the newspaper. Unfortunately, though... It looks like ths newspaper suffered a bit of water damage. What little is intact seems to have been written in the same language as the notes that only the NPCs could read, so maybe it's not That Big of a loss.

As for Escha, uh.

Well.

When she opens the box in the right shelf, she will be assaulted by what is the most disgusting, musty smell possible. If that isn't troubling enough, then perhaps the fact that she's stumbled across the skeletal remains of a left leg might be.

But, hey. At least she found a rad shoe. A single shoe. Uno shoe. Maybe she should say finders keepers and take it off the leg.]

[airshipped]

[HEY! BAD! Either way there's no way Logy can read Demonic.

If he tries to slowly, gently unwrap the newspaper so he doesn't destroy it completely, what is he going to see?]

There's something in the sink.

[applechemist]

What is it?

[ You know... It turns out Escha's instinct isn't to take shoes off of disembodied limbs??? But she also has to open the other boxes. For completionism. Next up is the box on the center shelf. ]

I found some gross stuff over here...

[fullthottle]

[Logy is going to find the skeletal remains of a right arm, folded at the elbow. The same musty smell released by the box Escha opened will be present as Logy unwraps the newspaper.

When Escha opens up the box on the center shelf, she will find the skeletal remains of someone's torso. Ribcage, sternum, scapula, spine and pelvis — they're all there.

This is... pleasant.]

[airshipped]

[... So is there a ledge or something he can put the skeletal arm? He'd still like to wash his hand.]

I found part of a skeleton. Somebody's right arm.

[applechemist]

[ And Escha is running over to that last box... Regrettably, she opens it. ]

Ew...!

I'm finding bones too... What kind of a storage room is this? We're not supposed to put it together, are we? It's not a weird puzzle, right?

[fullthottle]

[Is it a weird puzzle? There's only one way to confirm or deny Escha's theory.

There's no ledge for Logy to place the arm, but he will find a couple of buckets next to the sink. The kind with the little wheels on it, meant to carry water for a mop.

Unfortunately for Escha, she will find the skeletal remains of a left arm. It seems to be holding something between its bony fingers.]

[airshipped]

The only way to check is to put it all together.

[Is there anything in those buckets?]

[applechemist]

I really don't want to do that...

[ But knowing this place... It might be worth testing? Eugh.

First things first, what's in those bony fingers? Whatcha got there, dead guy? Something better than a shoe? ]

[fullthottle]

[Nothing in the buckets, except for maybe a dead bug or two! Ew. :(

How careful is Escha being with those bony little fingers? Because if she's too swift in her movement, the index finger is going to snap right off before she can get to the note the remains are holding onto.]
