Zakk processes the balloon imagery. There is what looks to be grinning cartoon faces on the balloons. Or perhaps its like a tree with branches ending with faces. This is less creepy and more funny. Whoever did it, it is clearly more sloppily done than the other tattoos.
As the lady leaves, Jerome knocks on the door. When he does so, he noticed that the door moves outwards slightly from the knocking. It appears to not be properly locked. Also, after waiting for a while, there are no responses from inside.

"Guess not..." Zakk states and opens the door enough to look inside and walks in.

"Maybe they are angry men in coveralls in the canteen. But Samantha did not say anything when we went passed so maybe not."

"Well, he's not here..."

Jerome was about to leave, but he thought of what Matsuki said earlier, about finding some dirt on the guy... If he was away, it would be the perfect time to find anything incriminating in his lodgings...

"Wait, what am I thinking, this is not right..." Thought Jerome.

As he noticed Zakk was already opening the door, Jerome realized he'd have difficulty having those two respect the man's privacy. But then again, if they could prove themselves useful in their own way... They were certainly odd, those two, but surely they must have some talents, a way to be useful...

"I'm going... I'm going to go check over there..." Jerome said as he walked and pointed some distance away. Hopefully they'd get the message. They can poke around to find anything incriminating if they want, but Jerome wants no part in it...

As he walked away, Jerome felt horrible about this, asking forgiveness from his dead wife... "Im so sorry Cecille, I know I'm going against my principles here, but the situation is a bit unusual, I must admit... I'll find a way to atone for this later..."

Matsuki nods at him, presuming he would be their lookout. She enters the room and begins to quietly canvas out for the best place someone would hide secrets. She touches nothing, for now.

"If he is fraud or if he is crazy, maybe we find sign."

Zakk goes to check out everything, janitorial stuff, personal stuff, space stuff, possible religious stuff, everything.

"You think the mop buckets up here is the same?" Zakk asks himself mostly quick to be nosy.

The door opens up to reveal a fairly small room. There are the usual shelves and cabinets full of cleaning related equipment and liquids. There is also a moldy pillow and blanket, probably the bed for this janitor. But the abnormal thing that stands out immediately is that there are scribbles and drawings on the walls in red...
OOC:
Zakk and Matsuki, roll for Will save to avoid distress. And roll Dex Save, to look around thoroughly and safely. I'm also thinking of making benefit tiers for certain rolls, such as finding evidence.

"Who sleep on mouldy pillow? No wonder unhappy."

OOC:
Everyone, pick a stat, and roll 2d20s at "disadvantage". Delay compensation.

Btw, after thinking about target to roll, I think that we roll based on the "current points", as in, if you suffered reduced points, it is that result needed roll under to pass, and makes tasks more challenging before resting up. Sorry if this notice is pointless and you are aware of this already.
[ +- ] Matsuki's Will fail
After recovering from the bizarre experience, Matsuki discovers a journal under the pillow. The cover is also covered by the same script. She can tell without opening it that there will be more, perhaps worst inside.
[ +- ] Zakk's will fail
Zakk notices the vent near the ceiling. If he was a mad man keeping secrets, he would hide things there. With his daredevil courage, and surprising dexterity, he manages to climb up the shelves as steps, and remove the vent cover to reveal... a skull with bits of mold on it?!
As Jerome kept watch in the main hallway, he looked at the surroundings. There are 3 levels of rooms and offices overlooking the hallway, along with a number of lockers. Once or twice, a worker can be seen passing through.

Matsuki shudders at the imagery, and the flash of her imagination. She snatches the book and flips through it rapidly to try and skim it without really seeing too much.

Rolls

Agility 10, disadvantage - (2d20)

(1910) = 29

Zakk uses the video recorder to get a picture of the wall and leads with commentary that it looks and smells like blood. With that done he looks for gloves and a bucket and grabs the skull to put in the bucket.

"Well shit, we sure this guy speaking the words of the whatever is really the janitor? Or do you need to kill a man to get a job around here. What was the lady's name that told us don't make a scene?" he comments staring at the skull in the bucket before pulling off a glove to toss in the bucket.

Rolls

Agility 10 (dis) - (2d20)

(410) = 14

Jerome looks around, not really being alookout, but sort of being at the same time... He smiles politely at people passing him by, trying to leave a good impression to the people already at the station.

Rolls

STR DC 6 - (1d20, 1d20)

1d20 : (15) = 15

1d20 : (5) = 5

"Samantha. Whatever is going on, that skull might lead to janitor having disciplinary charges."
Aug 16, 2021 6:38 pm
"unless this is the janitor..." Zakk mutters shaking the bucket, "I'm good in here." Zakk states with a nod and moves to leave with bucket in tow.
Aug 17, 2021 12:08 am
"If that janitor, Zakk and Suki both go back to jail!" She titters with her hand to her mouth in some mockery of politeness.

OOC:
Compensation results:
Matsuki: nothing
Zakk: nothing
Jerome: nothing
Matsuki flips through the book, and sees that the earlier half of the pages are written in black, looking like a log of sorts, then the later parts starts to grow more disheveled before the writing turns into red and the same alien imagery starts showing up.

Zakk, after closer examination of the blood writings, realises that it is not blood, but red marker ink that has a dripping effect from moisture. Looking at the skull also reveal that the icon of an eye is drawn on the skull's top with the same red marker.

As Zakk steps out with the bucket, Jerome can see the door to this hallway is opening again. This time, it is the 2 angry tattooed men, who are carrying a wrench and metal pipe...

Rolls

Matsuki will damage - (1d6)

(3) = 3

Zakk will damage - (1d4)

(2) = 2

"Hey Jerome this is the part where you tell us there's two dudes coming towards us..."
Aug 17, 2021 2:17 pm
"Oh, this is not good..." Thinks Jerome.

Thinking fast, Jerome turns to greet the two men.

"Welcome brothers. I'm trying to have a feel of the place for my first religious service. Tell me, how are people here? Is there anything in particular I should talk about in my first sermon?"

Hopefully, this moment of distraction should give enough time for Zakk and Matsuki to slip away...

Rolls

Will DC 9 - (1d20)

(13) = 13

OOC:
Jerome, roll will save.
The others, roll dex save if you wish to sneak away. Or if its any other interactions with the two men, roll relevant saves. If want to attack, roll Initiative.
