[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?

Fine, but only due to the fact that me moving is a much simpler process than you trying to work through your anger issues.

[Have a pause.] Have you encountered Nygma in the last two weeks or do you know him from somewhere else?

Re: voice; during the stomping

[maskurbates]

Well, hallelujah for that.

[There's a derisive snort.]

Do I know him from somewhere. Do. I. Ever.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

I suppose he isn't the type of person you'd forget. You two come from the same Gotham, then?

voice; during the stomping

[maskurbates]

May I ask whom I'm addressing?

voice; during the stomping

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Dr. Jonathan Crane. I imagine that if you know Nygma, you know another Jonathan Crane.

[A pause.]

Don't tell me you're a Warden too.

voice; during the stomping

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

No, I'm definitely not a warden.

[maskurbates]

Have you determined how similar you are to your counterpart?

voice; private

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

It's a hard thing to determine, considering that I haven't met him.

Re: voice; private

[maskurbates]

What, Nygma hasn't divulged that information?

voice; private

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

You'll have to excuse me if I don't find Nygma the most reliable source of information. He could be telling the truth as far as he understands it, but that doesn't make his observations accurate.

[Fatigue creeps into his voice.]

I'm aware of that particular personality trait.

No cross-referencing with the others?

voice; private

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

The others? You know about others? [Crane: fishing like a boss. He already knows, but he wants to see what Sionis knows.]

voice; private

[maskurbates]

Well, yeah, I know about the others. Little hard to miss 'em when you get the pissy Gotham welcome wagon plus one.

voice; private

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Let me guess. You got a warm welcome that consisted of them insulting your character and making significant assumptions about past alleged activities that you may have done?

voice; private

[maskurbates]

[A dry laugh.]

Something like that.

They call you Scarecrow?

voice; private

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

They do. [Pause.] I've never liked those sort names. They tend to over simplify the issues at hand.

voice; private

[maskurbates]

You didn't pick it then?

voice; private

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

The mask is a psychological tool. Some people can't appreciate the obvious difference.

voice; private

[maskurbates]

[He laughs again, with humor now.]

Oh, I understand, believe me.

But it's the issue of becoming the mask that they fear.

voice; private - Crane is going to o_o when he sees Sionis' face. c:

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Yes. As if it were ever that simple. [Pause.] You've experienced the same thing, perhaps? People so easily assume that the mask is the person behind it.

voice; private - rofl everyone does but to surprise crane? an honor \o/

[maskurbates]

Of course I have. In one way or another, we all wear masks. Some are just more obvious than others.

voice; private - this is why different canons are oh so awesome. <3

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

I'd agree to that. Of course, the benefit to masks is that you can always take them off. Invent a new one for yourself, if necessary.

voice; private - 8D

[maskurbates]

Unless your mask becomes your face.

voice; private - 8D

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid that might be stretching the metaphor a little too far.
