Emerald says that she can try to look for booze, but he's going to look for rats or something he can cast magic missile on. To be honest, he's not sure how he feels about drinking. It's a fearful sort of excitement, not completely unwanted, but apprehensive all the same.

"Aww come on, we looked for rats already! Can't you just use that stone? Or maybe we'll be lucky and they'll be some birds on deck or something. Come help me look!" Ruby says.

The storage room is essentially a giant rectangle taking up most of the bottom of the ship. It's piled high with crates, boxes, and barrels except for an empty line between the two accessible exits to the room. One exit is the kitchen towards the back of the ship, the other is a large shuttered doorway towards the front of the ship. The third exit is through the hatch above that they use to drop things into the storage room from the deck.

Emerald half heartedly starts looking through crates. Most are full of boat supplies, like preserves from the trip, extra cloth for the sails, and lot's of wood. There are also plenty of cannonballs, gunpowder, and oil.

Emerald finds another crate of the weird white bricks when he hears Ruby says,

"Found some!"

Emerald walks over to see Ruby uncorking the bottle. She gives it a sniff and her nose wrinkles. She looks at the bottle for a second before taking a swig, which she almost immediately spits out.

"Ugh, how can they drink this? It's awful! I thought it was going to be sweeter considering how my roommates drank these so fast. Want to try some?" Ruby says, holding the bottle towards Emerald.

What does Emerald do?
