[40] - [Voice]

[Sounding irritated. And is so oblivious to the fact he's been gone for a while, but has noticed quite a few new posts. Even if Crane hasn't bothered to read them.]

It's amazing how much all of you can talk in one day. This is some kind of flood, I assume?

[Added later. Angry Crane is angry.]

Oh, good show, Admiral. I'll keep in mind that abrupt disappearances are now one of the many punishment options that you offer alongside floods, ports and zero. Bravo.

[Private - Eddie]

Are you in the infirmary? [That fear toxin was heavy stuff.]

[Private - Hayley]

I had to use that toxin for other purposes. It wasn't anything personal.

[Private - Eames]

We need to talk. [Added later.] Did you know that the Admiral was going to do that?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Only what's on the warden filter. Do you have a conflict with him?

Oh, and your spiders are alive. I'm not entirely certain they're well, but I did my best. [YES, HE BROKE INTO YOUR ROOM JUST TO FEED YOUR SPIDERS... and go through all your stuff.]

Nothing more than a standard over the journals argument. Apparently I was being loud. [Crane's tone indicates that he doesn't think that he was.]

[Pause. Spiders are in his room. Awkward.] Thank you. I assume that Two has refrained from consuming more of Three?

Do be careful around him. He seems to have a violent streak. [Matter-of-factly.]

[Pause.] None of them ate the other, if that's what you mean.

Excellent. Another violent neighbor. But all the same, thank you for the warning.

That's good. One of them is a bit aggressive. I was considering removing him to assist the rest of the population. [All two of them.]

[Long pause.] You're welcome to stay in my room if you ever need. I could request another bed for you. It's certainly large enough. Not for any permanent situation, of course, but for the odd night.

I will see you this evening then. How's nine for you?

Oh, not for him. He seems like the kind where his bark is worse than his bite. He's no Arthas. [Pause.] Where is Arthas? What's he been doing?

Done. At your room, I imagine?

Went on a bit of a rampage with his sword, made some zombies. I'm not certain if he's still in level zero for it. I can tell you he's a bit less level and potentially more violent. I'd avoid him.

It seems the most practical, unless you had something else in mind?

Joy. I'm profoundly disappointed that his claims of supernatural powers over the dead turned out to be real.

No, that's suitable. If I turn up early you can assume that I've been avoiding Arthas.

Jealous you don't have your own superpowers, Jonathan?

I'll keep that in mind.

No. In my own experience, people with such powers rarely put any effort into developing other potential weapons. Like their mind.

Mm. Well said.

I try. Have you got a plan in mind for how to handle the Arthas situation?

I rather enjoy it. It's a good reminder for you not to get yourself in a similar situation. [You can hear the smile in his voice.]

[There's a pause, then he's a little more serious. Just a little.] We'll talk about it tonight.

Edited 2011-01-30 09:49 (UTC)

I don't intend to get myself into a similar situation. The fallout from working with Arthas was worse than any potential benefits that it could have ever had. [Honesty! What a strange thing.]

[Deadly serious.] Good. Something needs to be done.

I hope you're being honest about that. [Eames is still burned by Crane's lie about stuff shortly before leaving.]

Given the past, I don't expect you to believe me. But it is true.

I don't believe you'll walk into one knowing entirely what it is, but I do doubt your likelihood of considering a person fully before entering into an arrangement. [Pause.] Perhaps that's another talk best saved for tonight. We have a great deal of catching up to do, it seems.

We do. I'm also curious as to what you've been doing in the last two weeks.

Mm.. looking for you, until we were assigned. Then enjoying my bit of freedom. I did a bit of work, the same kind of as back home, but I doubt you could appreciate that.

I'm surprised that the Admiral even gave you that much information. I also can't imagine the type of work that you do, since I don't know what it is.

I had assumed it was because you didn't want it. Perhaps he does have a nice moment every now and then.

That was the point, yes. When I trust you, you'll know what I do.

A nice moment in between all the other moments of torment for his amusement.

I'm going to be disappointed if it isn't something exotic.

At least there's one.

I assure you, you'll be far from disappointed.

Directed at you.

I should hope so. All of that secrecy. It makes one wonder.

You don't consider it a kindness to yourself? Even a little bit?

What if I told you that I was a criminal? Would you believe me?
