So I've been thinking about Burrow's End (shocking, I know) and about their 'rooms' that they're assigned. When Aabria described them, I pictured like a bunch of square little cubbies all up and down the wall and I'm just wondering what those were originally? Were they shelves for storage? Why would they have these little grided shelves in multiple hallways in this power plant? Presumably for storage but again why the grid system?
Then I thought about the idea of them experimenting on animals and wondered if those little cubes used to have glass or metal to keep animals in for experiments. And I know they ruled out animal experimentation in the last Adventuring Party because wouldn't Dr. Wennabocker know they were stoats and not weasels BUT, I don't think that idea should be dismissed. Dr. Wennabocker only ever made tapes about the radiation and reactor, he may have not known much about or actively participated in the experimentation. He may not know much about animals at all. A scientist in one field isn't going to have indepth knowledge in a completely separate field. For example, a cardiologist and an ophthalmologist are both doctors, but if you ask your cardiologist about a spot in your vision they (more than likely) won't have a clue what it could be.
Just thinking about those lil cubbies. Other than for like storing your stuff before work, what could they be used for? And there are 20,000 stoats in that building. Even if there are 10 stoats to a cubby, that's 2,000 cubbies. And they didn't imply they were low on cubbiesm. There is no way there were over 2,000 people working in that building.

the castle loomed. spikes of dark stone cut the sky, forming grotesque expressions and creatures found scrabbling about only in the depths of your deepest dreams.
the castle loomed. a wide open entrance, but nowhere welcoming. instead, the unlucky approacher is swallowed up by a gaping, waiting mouth.
the castle loomed. a dungeon beckons with a spindly claw, clunks and thuds forcing their way through the ears into the head. sounds, textures, the only light the dim glow of rusty, flickering lanterns, the only colour the red of your bloodshot vision.
the castle loomed. holes carved into the walls that shoot into the darkness, a creaking sign hanging from each of them.
pause.
here, an explosion of foliage. here, a jarring combination of wool and wood to create a cartoonish face. here, a burst of imagination, like a flower in the snow.
in the hollow darkness of the castle, the players laughed, and called them cubby holes.
the castle bloomed.
