So, back to headcanon, I sincerely believe in: Hawkins’s ship isn’t just any pirate vessel; it’s practically a museum filled with cursed objects and artifacts with a creepy reputation.
●●●
On Basil’s ship, the crew isn’t just responsible for their usual duties - they also have to keep the haunted and cursed collection in check. These eerie artifacts, carefully curated by Basil and bought at various auctions, are not just stored away but are seamlessly integrated into the ship’s decor, adding to its uniquely sinister atmosphere.
Even cursed collections need care, so every once in a while, the crew undertakes a general cleaning. Not everyone is thrilled about this, but there’s a schedule, and it’s non-negotiable. And slacking off isn’t an option - if you do, you might find yourself haunted by some supernatural being from the mirror you forgot to polish.
For Bella, one of the ship’s medics, this task is more of a pleasure than a chore. She genuinely enjoys the cleaning, but not because she loves tidying up. It's because she gets to gossip and spill all the latest news to the ghosts and other paranormal beings aboard.
That’s why the crew isn't too keen on letting one of their medics handle the cleaning - because once Bella's in there, she’s likely to spend the whole day chatting away with her spectral audience.

Yes, this doll turned out to be cursed after all.
