[First thing to note: Sam's got a killer hangover.
Second thing to note: he's still in the library, nursing his hangover with coffee and scanning through the network out of sheer desperation for something to find. Anything to pass the time, really. It's hours into his work that he finds something that might be familiar. Give him a few hours, a little irritation, and nothing remotely helpful in the remaining library aaaand -- ]
Alright, so get this.
There's a quote put up on a secondary sub-network, and I think it's from our friend with the red face.
[He scooches in his seat, looking over the words.]
"Such is the appearance of black birds." Now -- I can't put my exact finger on the chapters, but I remember in one of my Mythology courses, there uh -- it was a passage. From an old Greek text I read through during one of our big finals in my last year of undergrad. [A sound of frustration, some moosey grumbling about an Essay From Hell. Then he snaps his fingers, brow furrowed.] Pausanias. He, he wrote a big long piece detailing his firsthand point of view of Greece, way back when; I remember using it as a cited work for a few written works in classic greek literature.
[huff scoff first world college boy problems.]
Or -- it could not mean anything at all. Maybe if doesn't even have to do with the actual passage. Or maybe Mr. Smiles just likes to post from super ancient literature for kicks with no rhyme or reason.
I don't know. Anybody got extended knowledge in old Greek literature? I don't exactly have the actual texts around to figure anything out, anyway. Don't know if any of you do, or if it even means anything at all. I can't find anything else besides this, but maybe someone who's better at surfing through the different places around here can do a better job than me dishing out more stuff hiding out.
But then there's more. Something about Scylla turning back?
[He'll just copy/paste the full message from the page.]
And speaking of... this. Who's had firsthand experience with this Red Smiley, anyway? How'd those go? I know it hasn't been all that fun, but any kind of first-hand experience about the guy, I'd love to hear. If it's not too much trouble for you.
[Man, his head is killing him.
......................................................]
Or maybe something a little easier: anybody have any remedies for space hangovers?
((ooc: the first part totally just an ic shout out to the tumblr pages, but see if you can figure it out! characters can ICly figure it out too, if they can figure out all that technical mumbo jumbo and actually find the correct sub-networks and stuff. EDIT: there's more stuff, oops.))

SUCH IS THE APPEARANCE OF THE BLACKBIRDS.
SCYLLA TURNED BACK; SHE DARED NOT TRUST HERSELF FAR OUT AT SEA.

video.
Some not-so-pretty stuff locked behind it.
video.
video.
No. But it's at least something; a clue, a piece of a picture, whatever you wanna call it.
[ and since he can, he attaches the secret audio message
There. ]
video.
Right, yeah, a piece of a picture. [ he knows, much like with hunts, that this will go slowly. but he can't help but feel a little frustrated at times.
as for the audio message... ]
Creepy. Good to know our captain's still got the cryptic bullshit down.
video.
[ a grumble, as he massages his temples; stupid hangover ]
But it seems kinda off.. I don't even know if they're talking about us, when they say someone's looking for Resnik. And it doesn't have a time or date to it, so...
Maybe they're worried about something else in the ship? We probably won't know until something goes haywire again.

Though that means you should try your hand at a little fightin', y'know. Might be rusty. [ WELL NOT RUSTY PER SAY. but just inexperienced since you're a baby and all. ]
Video. | encrypted.
Is this because he got beat up and almost shot by a ghost-thing? ]
I'm not rusty. I can fight just fine.
[ -- except he's still totally behind and Stanford didn't help and lord help him he's not anywhere near what Sam is in even two years.
But he's still just as stubborn and sure of himself, at least. ]

[ MHMM NOT LETTING YOU SLIP FROM THAT. ]

We get knocked around all the time, it's not a big deal.
[ you buttface ]
And last I checked, that happens to you plenty, too.

dean shrugs at the last bit. ]
Gotta have a few battle scars. At least I don't look like crap after someone so much as looks at me violently. [ never mind that one time a rat of all things bit him and he was basically delirious for a few days. ]
Video. | encrypted.
Or when a scarecrow almost iced you.
[ and then defensively ]
I'm not that bad. And you don't have to worry, I can handle myself. So lay off the weird jabs of concern, or whatever you're doing. I'm younger, but I'm not five.
Video. | encrypted.
[ no he's not. ]
S'right, you're under five basically, diaper boy.
Video. | encrypted.
Yeah, sure. You're Batman.
Is this gonna be a problem while I'm here? The whole 'old man' thing?

Because that's your gig.

Trust me, we switch gigs in the future.

[ ... But that doesn't stop him from shifting uncomfortably in his seat.
Future talk tends to make him a nervous little spring flower. Especially after Jo... ]
