11 | the words you scribbled on the wall with the loss of friends you didn't have

[the_vishual]

Tranquility.

[ Chase's voice is hollow, face void of emotion. She's addressing her communicator by holding it up and pointing it at her face, somewhere in one of the hallways. Slowly, her lips turn to a frown. ]

The walls are painted red, but not with blood. There are three--past. Present. Future. More line the walls but these are the focus, these are what's meant to be. It's Tranquility.

[ Her lips quirk, though through the entire thing she doesn't blink but if you look quickly, there's a flash of purple in her eyes. ]

There's a cross, there's man on a cross and then there's whispers. Keep your secrets and guard them well. There's no violence, only in the paintings, but just in case--just in case. Don't speak to the walls, the walls can hear.

Some of you told me to contact you before this. I felt a warning was appropriate to the general crew.

Neal told his secrets and now they know. They never forget. [ She clears her throat, and, finally, her gaze falls downwards, finally blinking. ]

Mr. Smiley is not part of the Tranquility. But he's laughing as he paints them and there's--there's...

It's not just machinery in holes. Not just parts. Mind the gap, the gap might bite back. [ Even if she doesn't understand it, she figures it bears explaining. ]

[Blake looks bleary-eyed in a way he almost never lets himself be seen on the network. Probably because he's basically been asleep for the past 36 hours or so. It's what happens when he works himself nearly to the point of collapse.

Anyway, despite that, he's awake and alert now. He's been looking through the network for the past couple of days, trying to piece things together as best he can. He really needs to consult with Bruce, Gordon, maybe even Selina. Talk it out, maybe draw some diagrams. Work out the pattern.

But for now, for now? He's really only got one question.]

Chase. Are you okay?

Irrelevant.

[There's just a touch more of a snarl in his usually-worried expression. Asato's worn his mask already, and it lets his hackles raise to bare the tips of his fangs, though he still looks more confused than angry. It's only been a time or two.

None of this makes any sense. But on this ship, what does?]

Chase, what's going on?

[the_vishual]

Don't talk to the walls. Promise me, Asato.

He's not part of it?

[Jim thinks this week could just- stop sucking now you know. every day he's getting information he doesn't want to know, despite how much he needs to know it.]

He's drawn on the walls before. Why is this different?

[PIGGYBACK ENCRYPTION 100%]

[the_vishual]

They're figures, christened in fire, wrapped in flames. No clues, no helpful hints, just whispers. They know when you're lying to them.

FOREVER THAT FILTER

[became]

I didn't tell anyone anything-- I hate to say it, but I think you're confused.

[ yeah that's believable, caffrey. ]

ditto

[the_vishual]

Incorrect. I am the Vishual.

[Right. He already thought Chase was a little off as a kid, but Wilee's concern has gone from strange little girl to officially creepy child over here. She looks off. More so than usual, he thinks, and that's concerning.]

Hey kiddo... you alright?

[the_vishual]

My well being has little to do with the matter at hand.

But we may expect to see more of them.

[the_vishual]

Correct. I'm not sure where or how, but they'll come to light.

[video - Cylon encryptions 100%]

[toasterprophet]

All of this has happened before, and all of it will happen again.

[Concerned, but intrigued. Something big is clearly going down.] Is there anything I can do to help, Chase?

[video - Cylon encryptions 100%]

[the_vishual]

Number two. [ She's glancing quickly and the encryption, and, deeming it appropriate, decides to speak freely. ]

The entity known as Mr. Smiley is not a part of the ship. He's the one that painted them. And the stuff below.... Not all of it is engines.

Nothing's on the walls.

A man on a cross?

[ if to judge by the heavy cross on her neck, she is thinking of a very certain man and a very certain cross. ]

Re: video

[the_vishual]

He is holy, but I don't recognize him from my world.

[andblockbuster]

Uh... Chase?

[DIAL BACK THE CREEP A LITTLE, BBGURL...]

[the_vishual]

Big brother?

[Voice]

[unsoldiered]

[Alex doesn't like the sound of this at all. Coupled with his little battle against a stupid mask? Yeah, this isn't gonna be a good month, is it? Like any month ever is, but he thought... maybe... a break would have been nice?

... Considering he thought he heard voices recently, one particular comment catches him, though.]

Chase? What do you mean, whispers?

[He's put on his mask once already.

... The instances of hushed tones aren't related to the walls, of course.]

[Voice]

[the_vishual]

The paintings, they're talking.

[voice]

[wolfdreamer]

Chase-- [He hesitates, but goes on:] Are you all right?

The danger is to us, or to the ship?

[voice]

[the_vishual]

Us. Always us. Bran, you need to stay safe. Promise me you'll stay safe.

Yeah?
Got any warnings that make sense?

No. [ NO NEED TO BE RUDE. ]

Chase?
[ he's tempted to call her miss chase but the way she's speaking. that's not how a child should speak. that doesn't sound like a child at all. ]

[the_vishual]

Yes?

[willpunchfaces]

Hey kid. Are you okay?

[the_vishual]

Yes, although that is irrelevant.

[ Steve's seen this kid around, spoken to her once or twice, and the flash of purple that crosses her eyes sends a chill down his spine. He doesn't like this.

He considers asking if she's okay, but the answer to that question seems somewhat obvious. ]

What's that mean, kid, the walls can hear - there something the people of the ship should know?

[ Video ]

[the_vishual]

[ Sorry, Steve, she doesn't trust you enough--not yet, at the very least, so she bites her lip and looks down. ]

Just look alive. Be careful, Captain, with where you tell your stories.

perma- heaven's fence encryption 100% | let's pretend i tagged in before now.

[starked]

We were already told the walls can hear or at least see us.

[ A beat. ]

With teeth?

perma- heaven's fence encryption 100% | and let's pretend i replied sooner /face in hands

[the_vishual]

Yes--yes, of course it can hear. But the murals, they'll turn it. Use it against you. I don't like it.
