[h3]Mess[/h3]Ordinarily Chris would not think much about the engines below starting at the same time he clicked the button on the watch. But so far this ship has been anything than what he expected. Everything had some strange twist or angle. Clicking the button once the engine stopped. Again and it started. The sound of the creature below reminded him of what he read earlier. Looking around he quickly found something with weight and shoved a full barrel over the hatch. "[color=slateblue]Alright, calm down. I got it trapped down there.[/color]" He tried to gather himself as well while reassuring Suichi.

This place was insane. The fact that it could be remotely real was terrifying because thus far it made no sense. Where does one even start when you're on a weird old steampunk ship that appears to be a living plant? And then there were the flashes of creatures and strange sounds. Nope, Chris was done. Everyone has their defense mechanisms. In the case of the young man he tuned things out. It meant he could continue on in the mean time but would likely suffer for it later. Rather than saying anything to the others he started moving on toward the Galley.

[h3]Galley[/h3]The room was much drier which was a slight easing of the mind. However the rest of the room was not quite what one would expect. Clearly a tinkerer had claimed this space as a workshop. Gears, pulleys, and levers were everywhere. Another common theme was drawings and models of spiders. Hell even the small table had legs. Curiously it moved and swayed to counter the rocking of the boat. Were Chris in his more usual mood he would have studied it closer. Curiosity wasn't completely gone as he saw a valve off to one side. So far everything had caused one event or another so he degan to turn it. 

Near his feet something moved. They looked like large spider legs. Whether they were or not didn't matter because when they sprung out it caused Chris to jump and stumble over the parts strewn everywhere. Coming down with a crash one of the models was crushed under his arm. A dark fluid leaked out onto his arm, oil maybe. Looking up he tried to find what surprised him. Maybe he was just on edge but he swore that he felt something move on his arm but there was only the oil.
