[The door does give in after putting up a fight. It is a hard won thing, requiring a good dozen or so attempts with the ram before anything falls open. And there are...stairs. Only stairs, and it's no surprise that there is a third deck on this vessel. There are, actually, four, but the fourth level is a thing meant for dealing with waste and all those other disgusting things that life at sea must address.
So down and down. These steps are metal, unlike all the wood elsewhere on the ship, and pipes run down beside the steps. Whatever lies at the heart of this ghost ship, everything seems to originate there and...
...and it is an open space, the decor of it a little too close to the golden geometric patterns of Dracula. They're apparent on the floor, along the walls, splayed across the ceiling. It is the center where things become much stranger, for there a coffin remains, tilted upright at a 45 degree angle upon a dias. There's great containers of blood flanking each side of the coffin, and if anything is within, it shows no life.
But the blood is moving it seems, constantly trying to balance between the two containers it's in. Here, the silence of the ghost ship is no boon at all. It's a threat, lingering and heavy.]
