[39] - [Voice/Video]

[doctor_j_crane]

[Warden Filter]

I'm not sure which one of you is Arthas' warden, because I've never really cared that much before, but why is he not in zero? Constantly? Surely you could just keep him in there for a week, bring him up for an hour, and then put him in there for another week.

[Private - Eames]

Want to see something interesting? In the spirit of honesty and full disclosure? [Have a video of Arthas' note before it swaps back to voice.] I'm going to end up dead by the end of the week. [Said like it's a fact.]

[Private - Eddie]

You know that bit where you implied that this was under control? This is not under control.

[Added later - Private - Tirion]

Apparently you're Arthas' warden. You should contact my warden, Eames. I've got an issue with Arthas, to say the least.


[OOC: Crane is not amused by Arthas' note. And sorry for the Crane spam, guys. :c]

Warden Filter + Crane

[aforger]

It's Tirion. Leave a message for him to contact me, won't you? I'll see what I can arrange.

[Private]
Thank you for telling me.

You're staying with me until further notice. You won't go anywhere isolated without informing me of such first, or going with someone. Both conditions are optional, but I suggest it for your own protection.

Warden Filter + Crane

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Done.

Private

That sounds more than suitable. Frankly, I don't trust Arthas not to take me down in the middle of a corridor. While the note could be fake or a prank, I'm not taking the risk.

Private

[aforger]

You shouldn't. I'll accompany you as much as I'm able and you're comfortable with. Trust that I can protect you if it's necessary.

Private

I did notice the gun, Eames. [From the other night.] While I don't think it could kill Arthas, I'm confident that a few bullets could at least slow him down.

Do you want to see the note as well?

Private

[aforger]

Mm. That's the least of my arsenal. [He exaggerates, but he's creative too.]

Have you got a camera?

Private

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Somehow, that doesn't surprise me. [The efficiency of whoever searched Crane's room has made him a lot more suspicious about Eames and whoever he worked with.]

No, I don't. Only my journal.

Private

[aforger]

Have you contacted Arthas?

Private

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Absolutely not. It would only provoke him further.

Private

[aforger]

Take another video of the note, ten seconds long, and post it here. Then leave the note where you found it and come to my room as if you haven't seen it.

Private/Spam

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

That's actually a good plan. I'll be there momentarily.

[Crane breaks off the connection, and then you get a ten second shot of the note.]

[And then Crane's on his way to Eames' room as quickly as possible, having left the note as it was. He doesn't bother knocking and goes to open it, but hey, it's locked. So Crane knocks quickly, because he really, really doesn't want to be in the corridor right now.]

[Eames is quick to open the door, having expected Crane, but his free hand holds his gun at the ready on the other side of the door. As his inmate--and he does consider Crane his inmate, despite using the unofficial nature of their relationship against Crane at times--enters, he closes and locks the door immediately. Then he releases the hammer and presses the safety back on, taking his time in securing his gun and sliding it back into the holster, expecting Crane to begin speaking on some tangent.]

=Spam~

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

[Crane spent a moment staring because hey, there's a gun in Eames' hand. He relaxes slightly once the guns back in the holster and the door is closed and locked. The barge corridors can be fairly ominous at times, especially when you were having problems with the psychopathic undead.]

I put the note back. [Crane paused before continuing.] I honestly had expected Arthas to not ask for a replacement. I had tried to explain to him before that I couldn't make any more.

=Spam~

[Eames moved past Crane back to the table he had been working at the night before. He took a seat in the same chair, sifting through some files. This was turning out to be more complicated than he could have predicted, just as Crane was turning out to be more work. He always appreciated a challenge, however.]

"You can give him the fake vial that was left by whoever stole his." [The reply was curt, since the warden was still confident that that theft was related to whoever Crane had spoken to.] "How did you make them here?"

[He wasn't looking at Crane, though his mood wasn't unpleasant.]

=Spam~

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

[Crane spent a second thinking about the fake vial plan. Given how Arthas had responded to the first one, it was highly likely that he wouldn't be able to tell the difference.]

The fake vial will probably work, unless he decides he's still angry. I might leave it somewhere for him to collect so I don't have to physically interact with him. [Which would have ended horribly. Crane walked over to the same chair where he'd been in last time and sat down.] And unfortunately, I can't tell you how I made them here.

[He watched Eames carefully for his response.]

=Spam~

[aforger]

"You can. You choose not to. Perfectly acceptable, but maintains responsibility." [He replied with great nonchalance as he continued sifting through papers and occasionally jotting notes. There was a little more effort to conceal what he was working on this time, though Crane could catch a glimpse if he tried very hard. It was a list of names and dozens of notes surrounding them.]

"I haven't decided on whether I can trust you with the fake vial yet," [He continued, more pensive. Then he slid a blank paper over the things he was working on and set down his pen, looking up to Crane now.] "Who else did you tell about the vial being stolen, at the same time or before you told me?"
