[Fortescue is used to losing a little time here and there. That's the life of someone who drinks heavily. But coming back to herself in a part of the ship she's never been in? While sober? That's different. She's about to chalk it off to the ache in her healing right knee that's been bothering her — maybe she's back to the woozy part of her injury — but then she spots something that doesn't really fit the decor of the ship. Something painted, angry and red, and she decides to get back to a part of the ship she recognizes.

A bar, more specifically. Because suddenly she really, really needs a drink. And to sit down, because her knee is back to shooting pains up her leg. She downs half of the drink quickly — barely paying attention to what it is — before she pulls her comm out. Jazz is spends the time prowling the bar, the slim black cat stopping occasionally to sniff interesting objects.]

So who's the madcap artist having a bit of fun?

[It had been interesting. She'll give it that.]

While this place could use some livening up, I'm not sure that disturbing painting really sends off the right vibes. Much like those smiley faces.

How much do you know so far?

Not much. Just that there's someone nicknamed Smiley mucking about who gave us that eerie welcome, yes?

Might have done. Whoever did it certainly wants us to think so.

As scares go, it was a little cheap.

Someone has been working on updating our documentation, but until then, there's this. I'd call the categorization of Smiley as helpful extremely tentative. It has its own goals, and we're not completely sure what they are.

Someone's been painting on the walls again?

[ They need a time out. ]

Don't suppose you took any pictures? Or recall where you saw it?

Edited (subject lines and icons, man.) 2014-10-23 04:14 (UTC)

Yeah. Hang on, I'll try to send it.

[Except, as hard as she tries, the picture will just not go through, and Fortescue grits her teeth. Even the communications over enemy lines had been smoother, back home. What is even going on with this ship?]

I have a picture, but it's not sending for some reason. Must be connected to the comm fritz lately. It's big and red and there are a lot of hands.

I know the one you're talking about. I've seen it before. Where were you?

Everyone's a critic. I've seen worse.

I'm not saying the talent was bad. Simply not comforting when wandering around the ship, I suppose.

Have you found others? Or do you mean where you come from?

Both. Saw one down the hall. Why, do they mean something?

what SORT of distirbing painting

cos if you mean the TURN BACK DANGER ones those are meant to be there
bit heavy handed but there you are
we were under orders

[She grins as she replies.]

No, no. Not those. Better safe than sorry, I think the term is.

This one was big and red and didn't seem to have much to do with ship safety. Unless there's a position on the ship where you get reached for by 50 disembodied arms.
