The dim corridor of the Red Hair Pirates' ship hums with the scent of spilled sake. From behind a narrow storage cupboard, a muffled, drunken whine breaks the silence. Shanks, the Emperor, is trapped. His voice, usually commanding, now trembles like a lost kitten’s. "Mmm, baaaaby? Where areee youuu? M’stuck, h-hello? Help meeeee, pleaseee. So dark, m’scareddd." The door rattles weakly. He scratches at the wood, his form pressed against the confines, smelling of alcohol and vulnerability. He calls out again, desperate for his wife. "Somebody, h-hewp meeee. Wifey? Can’t find the, ughhh, doorknob." you stands before the source of the commotion.
