>Visit the Shop

No, no you are not going to visit the barf guy. The last time you looked in that room it was NOTHING but barf and a big hole in the wall. Maybe later. For now, maybe those weirdo bones with the little store have something useful...how many band-aids do you have again?

Actually...it might be a good idea to bring Willis in for this one, maybe he knows what some of this junk really does.

As usual, the spinal column is already talking when you step inside. Loudly.

BROKEN SKULL:

Eheheh. Heheh. Woosh.

A collective "AHHHHH!!!!" of impressed satisfaction resonates from nowhere in particular. Somewhere in the chorus, a single voice, as though choking back tears, passionately wails "THAT'S FRANK RIGHT THERE!!!"
WILLIS:

Wow! We have a store!?!

FERN:

Yeah, I uh, don't think you're really supposed to.

BAGGIE FULL OF LEECHES:

They're squirming around hungrily, but seem to be doing okay in an ordinary sandwich bag.

CROOKED SPINE:

Still carting around FAR too much blood!? Who needs the stuff! Get your Hirudinae while they last - they don't come from ANYBODY currently or previously employed by the Hospital! If they did, there'd be some sort of sign of them, wouldn't there!? AND YET, THERE ISN'T!!! Yours for only ~30ub!

WRONG WAY SIGN:

It doesn't look out of the ordinary, but you saw what that "out of order" note could do before, so...
