[Jade has visited the bridge exactly once, in the time he's spent aboard the Serena Eterna before now. It was part of a thorough canvass of the entire ship, in that first week or so of utter disorientation; the hall leading up to the bridge was examined, and the handle on the door was idly tested, but nothing was found and nothing was yielded, and he was hardly inclined towards making much racket at that time.

...Not once has he attempted to directly visit it since. If anything, truth be entirely told, any desire to do so has only diminished over the passage of time, with the more he learns about the shape of the entity on the other side.

But that's changing today! ...Oh, not the reluctance, necessarily--but the counter of visits is now finally ticking up to "two", for a variety of reasons, as Jade draws to a halt before the door and spends a moment or so peering speculatively at it. No move is being made to try the handle or attempt so much as a knock, this time; instead he stands with his right hand tucked idly in a pocket, and the left holding...an item of some pretty high recommendation.

It's six pens taped together lengthwise, though. To take up a concept and further improve its potential, you know!]

...I wonder how many times you have people knocking upon this door, in a given day. Is the frequency fairly uniform, or something that comes in bursts?
