Ladies Waiting Room

Watch your step as you explore this dimly lit and disturbing railway station and its buildings beneath the bomber's moon.

Ladies Waiting Room

Post by Laraqua »

This small room contains two wing chairs flanking a side table which overlooks a settee. The tableaux would be quite charming if the upholstery matched and wasn't so water stained, and if the flowers weren't shedding their dry and brittle petals to the yellowed lace doily below. The paintings in here struggle to be cheerful, showing lovely meadows and beautiful shorelines, in the feeble light of the single naked bulb. One such painting seems to be missing, the wall behind it less stained by smoke where it had once stood. Has this room always been so … off? Or is it simply something about tonight which makes it look so poorly. Somehow the room also stinks of a bizarre mix of cheap perfume and rancid butter, and there seems no rhyme or reason for either of those scents. Entering this room does leave you with a strong urge to sit down, however, as your heart races and your head swoons.

Places to Go:
Chemistry Knowledge,the distinctive smell of rancid butter is actually Butyric acid which is a fatty acid occurring in the form of esters in animal fats. It's a medium-strong acid when undiluted that reacts with bases and strong oxidants, such as many metals. It is an oily, colorless liquid easily soluble in water, ethanol and ether and often used in food and perfume additives, and even as a fishing bait additive. Inhalation of butyric acid may result in soreness of throat, coughing, a burning sensation, and laboured breathing. Ingestion of the acid may result in abdominal pain, shock, and collapse. Physical exposure to the acid may result in pain, blistering and skin burns, while exposure to the eyes may result in pain, severe deep burns and loss of vision. (1-point Chemistry Spend available).
Evidence Collection Knowledge,1-point Evidence Collection Spend available.
Is it bad that I listen to this about ten times a day?
