[ Crabb hasn't told anyone that she's going to do this! She's also making a lot of assumptions. Assumption 1: she'll pick the right elevator shaft first try (the one at the front of the ship, where there's only the elevator and stairs and the crew cabin wall on deck zero). Assumption 2: there'll be a ceiling hatch to climb out of to get a look at the shaft in the first place.
The plan is this: take the elevator down to deck zero, block the door with a chair from another deck so it won't close, then check for a hatch. If one exists, try to pop it open, if it doesn't open easily, use the Black Note's gloves to vibrate the hatch loose and/or apart.
If one doesn't exist... well, she'll cross that bridge if it comes to it. Look she's a normal human she's not going to just try and force open the elevator doors without trying something else first. ]
[ Easier than she expected honestly, if you couldn't tell by the bringing something to break stuff if needed!
All she has to go off is people saying that Madison said Friday was fixing something in a shaft, fell down and died. Odds are it means very little, but... people aren't meant to go into elevator shafts. Which at least feels like it makes for a convenient place to hide things out of the passenger's sights. Aka worth a shot.
She obviously can't see all the way down to what's under the cab right now, but she is going to examine the top and look down the sides and all that first at least. ]
[on one side of the elevator shaft, there is the opening that exposes the elevator to the rest of the ship. which makes it really weird that the other side is covered, seemingly as far as the eye can see, in symbols. seemingly burned into the wall, branded, as if it were wood, and not metal or stone.]
[ Yes, that's weird. The way it looks, how far it goes—that it's magic seems a sure bet, even she's not so magically oblivious as not to realise that, but.
She's going to 1) try to take a picture with her ship phone, which she doesn't necessarily expect to work well, and then 2) try to see if it's possible to touch a symbol.
Never let it be said her impulsiveness has actually gone anywhere. ]
[ Yeah, alright, she's not going to touch any more because either nothing really is happening or something is happening that she can't see. She's impulsive not stupid.
[ Eugh. Cue her taking a minute to try get rid of the taste.
But she's also going to pull out a handkerchief to wipe the residue onto, and an evidence bag from that set of detective tools (that since it looks like a kids toy are I don't know assumedly multi-coloured or something fun) to stuff it into.
And also actually check if her attempt to take a photo actually took or not. ]
You think that might make her up and leave but no she's going to file that away as 'concerning but not life threatening' and she's still going to try and roughly sketch what she's seeing. (Magical) technology has failed it's notebook and pencil time. ]
[ She'll spend a minute or two on that because an artist she is not but she does have a steady hand so.
She'll also linger a bit to see if anything happens in the next five, ten minutes or so, but assuming not, then she'll put her stuff back in her pockets and go to slip back through the hatch.
And, if she gets back through without incident of some kind besides possibly falling on her own ass, she'll check her phone again once she's back in the ship proper. ]

therefore, it's completely unlocked. welcome to the shaft! it's sure got whatever elevator shafts usually have. i'm not an elevator scientist.]

nothing appears to happen.]

[ Is it weird that nothing happening concerns her more than something happening?
...yeah she's going to see if she can touch another one. Verify your results and all that. ]
