#anytime someone at work asks me to get more ethanol from the fire cabinet in the morgue i always come back and shout ''booze is here!''

Since the new DLC is out, we’ve been playing a lot of Cult of the Lamb again, and is it just me or does anyone else think that Helob sounds exactly like the Japanese voice actor for Undertaker in Kuroshitsuji ?????

Anyway, that got me thinking about the short part in both the first anime and the manga (I think both??? Forgive me, I have not interacted with that piece of media in literally a decade) where Undertaker is just vibing in a barrel of salt. And then that eventually peculated into a headcanon for Mortimer:

 Mortimer keeps large quantities of anhydrous ethanol (or depending on availability, Everclear or comparable spirit) in a large vat in his basement for the express purpose of taking a dip in when it gets too hot in the summer. Because ethanol evaporates so quickly, it is extremely efficient at getting his body temperature back down since he cannot regulate it on his own. He comes out looking a little more desiccated than when we went in, but he bounces back to normal quickly.
