So, most 'a you already know that a few of us did some exploring of the deeper parts of the ship last month, and found a painting that seemed dead set on stalking us through the hallways. Jaye put up pictures of the thing if you missed that somehow. If anyone with chemistry skills has some free time, I've got a bottle here with some of the paint, or whatever it is, that I flaked off of one instance of the painting, since we thought it might be helpful to know what exactly a moving mural is made of. Lemme know if you're interested.

Neal saw them too. When he went into the ship.

I don't think they're alive. But they might be controlled by something that is.

[northerner]

Puppets on the wall, but the master hidden behind a curtain, so to speak.

[tumbleweeds]

Right.

There are stories, back where I'm from, of people using holes in paintings to watch people move. I don't know that whatever's out there needs those to do it, but it could be kind of the same thing.

Or it could just be really messed up, I'm not an expert.

[northerner]

Then perhaps the key is to draw the puppet master out, if he exists at all.

[tumbleweeds]

Oh, he's out there. He left Neal messages with his paintings.

[northerner]

But hidden, and out of reach.

[tumbleweeds]

Yeah. But still out there.

[northerner]

The next time you go, I'd like to accompany you.

[tumbleweeds]

Sure. Better than either of us going alone.

[northerner]

Aye. Groups are safer, so long as they're kept small.

[tumbleweeds]

Plus you've got Grey Wind and I've got Howly.

[northerner]

Howly?

[tumbleweeds]

The dog I told you about.

... I didn't name him.

[northerner]

Is that the beast Mordecai spoke of?

[tumbleweeds]

Nah, he belongs to Spock. This is my dog, the invisible one.

[northerner]

Why can't he be seen?

[tumbleweeds]

[ Robb why didn't you care about this before gdi. ]

He's magic.

[northerner]

[ look he's asking now omg jaye ]

Ah. Does he accompany you everywhere?

[tumbleweeds]

That would be telling.

[northerner]

Is it meant to be some sort of secret?

[tumbleweeds]

I have an edge if people don't know.

[northerner]

He's meant to be your secret weapon, is he?

[tumbleweeds]

One of them. He's a good dog.

[northerner]

Then Grey Wind and I shan't give you away.

[tumbleweeds]

Thanks.
