What's next?

Take a look around...

Taking the lady's advice I began perusing.

My gaze lingered only briefly over most of the curios on the over-stuffed shelves. A shrunken head here, a curled paw that resembled a monkey's fist, a snowglobe with a ship inside.

I decided to pick this one up to inspect it. It seemed themed like an old Spanish galleon, and was depicted as though at the bottom of the sea with coral and shells pieces of broken material at the bottom.

When I turned it over, the bottom label simply read 'Down Payment'. Puzzling at that when I turned it back, I saw the silt (or sand?) had upturned and began to dance around it.

And I thought I head a distant.. Singing? A peculiar trick of the light and movement made me half think there were figures on the ship. I put it back and kept looking.

Passing by what looked like a heavily notched and paint chipped billy club I suppressed a shudder. It returned when I saw a pair of manacles...

I figure I must have spent at least ten minutes looking before I found something that made me tilt my head in interest.

Is that?

A spyglass?
