we might have a problem.

[ normally tony wouldn't bring this up at all, but creepy red smile thing is really fucking creepy and this is some shit out of a horror film. ]

not a demon problem, because unless i'm wrong winchester and the angel thing have that dealt with. was going to mention this before that came up, but not all of us can split our attention between two things. actually most of you can't. right, though, problem of the ship variety.

[ and then an attachment entitled i am a smile and i am creepy is sent to everyone's device. ]

i know what you're going to say, tony you made the creepy smiling thing mad. you're going to get us all killed. no, i'm not. what i did was discover something kind of important. the good ship tranquility is watching us. and as much as i'm cool with being watched, kind of want to know who the fuck is watching me on this huge ship. weirdly enough.

i know you two are watching everything. what do you say about this?

[ finally tony adjusts his device to video and if they pay attention, they see that he's in his suit. it's a bit of a way to intimidate them, but he's not going to come right out and say it. ]

Okay, whatever, you two are in charge along with Kirk. I don't care, if that's one of you two, I want to know. Everyone does, but I'm the one who asked the questions and got the answer so I get the first answer.

a: it's not that she bites, it's that i'm already like 99% sure she's right. hacking's not really my thing, but it is hers.
d: ... that's a lot of captains.

i dunno, boredom seems to be the common excuse around here, but information-gathering sounds slightly more legit. [ no, chapel, that's probably just your excuse. ]

there are ais with bodies, but none of them have admitted to being the tranquility yet, and that seems like the kind of thing it'd be hard to keep on the dl. not that it sounds impossible, but you'd think someone would have noticed something by now.

a: so you two know each other. good to get that confirmation beyond seeing you two occasionally talk. d: resnik and rogers were jokes. two captains. not that much. if i get bored i do other things. i text people obnoxious shit. ...actually yeah, it was half boredom, negl. [ shh, chapel, you're in good company. ]

as long as you don't mention shit and don't manage to get caught by the nightowls or those of us who like hacking, theoretically you could keep that on the dl.

it's not much of a secret, man. assuming the people with the city-based names know each other is probably a safe bet.

well, at least it was kinda productive, in that now we know something is semi-threatening to kill people anonymously over the network. i usually just end up watching some of the crazy wuxia soap opera shit stored in the media libraries. [ #goodlifedecisions ]

yeah, you could, but the likelihood that you could keep your story perfectly straight and not give anything away rapidly approaches zero the longer you try and lie to everyone, and it's already been, what, a couple of months since the hallways? if they are here, they're bound to slip eventually.

it is, but then if we're going by that then i have to wonder how a city in america knows a city in england. you all do have your own accents. how are those soap operas by the way? i've vaguely glanced at them, but between blue man trying to make this ship his and demons and other things i haven't sat down to actually watch them. [ #tonystarkfirstworldproblems ]

if they are here, they haven't slipped yet which makes this kind of a pain in the ass. if i'm being perfectly honest.

i'm basically the awkward american foreign exchange student that the cities-in-england contingent hangs out with sometimes. (also, aberdeen's in scotland. i think the distinction is important.)

about what you'd expect for soap operas, really. no1curr about the plot, the special effects budget is decent, and whatever future replacement they have for wirework is fun. people get punched in the face a lot. i wasn't looking for much else at the time. way to make me feel like a slacker, though. [ only because you've been slacking, chapel. ]

are you just gonna watch the network until someone does something creepy and/or incriminating? because that really does sound like a pain in the ass.

so is dundee, i just wanted to say england in general. because unless we're talking about ireland, still technically the same country. just saying. (and also, you need real friends if that's the case.) it's my actual duty to make everyone who isn't me feel like a slacker. i mean look, here i am doing all these things while everyone else is asking for scissors and watching soap operas. save me a seat next time you watch one. i don't watch the network. vaguely skim at most. so no, i'm not, because i figure as soon as it does, someone is going to go WHAT THE FUCK OH MY GOD WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!!!!! or something like that. unless you find it, then you'll probably be all honey badger doesn't give a fuck.

i just think they get tetchy if you call them english to their faces. kind of like texans getting called southern. (man, tell me about it.)

and you're doing an awesome job from this end. will do, though. it probably won't make any more sense with context, so you ought to be fine.

honeybadger's pretty sure that all it really seems to want is attention right now. if it starts killing people and leaving little blood smiley faces on the wall, then i'm gonna start worrying. until then, there's not much point in flipping out.

aberdeen is tetchy in anyway. it's part of her charm. and wow we are not giving me that lecture. you're talking to a yankee who lives in malibu. (i just did, you know. just for the record.) you're making it easy though. it's like i'm almost cheating. and hey, i can make up my own context. you got popcorn? ...the smiley faces were red both times, honeybadger. on the wall and in the texts. i'm just saying.

and i'm a southerner who lives in boston, so i will give that lecture to anybody and everybody if i have to. (also, you live in malibu. you don't get to complain.)

but it's not quite cheating. there's popcorn, but it's byob.

there's a huge difference between grease pencil and blood. i'm just saying.
