"GAH!"
With hindsight, Jirix should've knocked before opening his Supreme Leader's office door. There were things he didn't need to see; there were things he'd rather go blind than see; and then there was Lord Xykon bending Redcloak over a desk.
He turned and fled, Xykon's shout echoing down the corridor after him. "I told you he was the bitch!"
"URGH!"
He was so intent on getting away, he didn't notice he'd run straight towards Tsukiko's quarters. Didn't notice, that was, until he nearly tripped over Tsukiko and two of her zombies. And then nearly stepped in some zombie. Unfortunately, that was kind of noticeable.
"Oh, don't be such a prude, Jirix. Mmmm... is that rigor mortis, or are you just pleased to see me? Heehee! Your maggots tickle!"
"FOR THE LOVE OF THE DARK ONE!"
He thought he'd be safe with the Monster in the Darkness. He couldn't even see most of it. With the day he was having, that had to be a plus.
But why was there stew on the ceiling? Why was the umbrella in pieces? Why was the monster's box upside-down?
As he watched in horror, a demon roach staggered out of the trashed box, dazed happiness on its tiny insect face.
"I still don't know what that thing is... but I like it!"
