doctor_j_crane: Crane looking neutral. (Sure/Conern)
[personal profile] doctor_j_crane
[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?

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?

I wasn't here, so it couldn't have been. Although it isn't like he paired me up with Howie, so that's something.

I would. There's a certain type of clever that you don't normally see in people on the other side of the game.

But you're here now. Clearly he knew you were coming back.

Is that meant to be a compliment?

Considering he's in control of it, I imagine that he did.

No. [Yes.] You're reading too much into things.

Then if you like me as your warden, it could be a kindness.

[Eames gives a small laugh at that.] Mm, too bad. I was beginning to think you might actually respect me. Silly idea.

From: [identity profile] doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com
I didn't say that. [This was why Crane didn't want to talk about it. Stupid feelings.]

There are levels of respect. It's not all or nothing. Which before you say anything, is not me saying that I respect you.

Private [voice]

Then I'll request a reassignment.

Of course not. Another reason maybe you need someone else.

I didn't suggest that either! [Feel the growing frustration, Eames.]

Is this some kind of game, Eames?

For as long as you continue to lie to me, yes.

You don't want the game? Then answer. Do you want me as your warden: yes or no?

Fine. I want you as a warden. Congratulations, you win.

Fine. I do. In a fashion. Otherwise I wouldn't bother talking to you.

aforger: (disappointment [m])
From: [personal profile] aforger
Good. I want you as my inmate, I respect you when you're honest, and I think you have great potential to do everything you enjoy within the codes of morality that the Admiral deems acceptable.

Are you willing to work with me, even if it's not toward your graduation for now?

Private [voice]

Date: 2011-01-30 11:57 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com
That's arguable, but perhaps possible to an extent. Although no one seems willing to explore what that extent is.

I'm willing to work with you. I can't promise that it'll be successful or useful for either of us, but I'll do it.

Perhaps not everything then, but a great deal. Prove I can trust you first, then we'll start pushing boundaries.

Thank you.

I can imagine another three months reading things in the library then. I think I've almost gone through the entire non-fiction section.

Private [voice] STOP REPLYING SO WE CAN SPAM.

Perhaps we can discuss a job as well.
From: [identity profile] doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com
That's something we can discuss tonight. I'll see you then.

[Crane arrived at Eames' room right on time that night, having thankfully avoided any unfortunate confrontations with Arthas. Which was excellent. Crane would have hated to experience the death toll so soon after arriving back, even if he didn't remember being gone. It was the principal of the thing.]

[He knocked on the door, suspecting that Eames would probably have it locked.]
aforger: (icelad)
From: [personal profile] aforger
[And locked it was. Eames moved with relative speed and ease to the door, doing one last glance around to ensure everything of importance was packed away. Crane's two vials of toxin were in the safe beside the bed, Arthur's PASIV device was in the safe hidden behind a cabinet beneath the bar. All paperwork was either in the second, larger safe or tucked away in one of the locked drawers of table to the right.

He unlocked and opened the door with a wide smile, genuinely glad to see Crane after the lengthy disappearance. The forger lifted a hand to set on his shoulder for a beat, his expression altering to something truly solemn and sincere.] "Welcome back."

[Then he moved his hand, knowing Crane wasn't all that comfortable with it, and stepped aside to let the inmate in. His smile returned immediately. The cabinets to the bar on the left were swung open with a decent assortment of mainly elitist liquors (scotch, whiskey, gin, etc), but a few of the more exotic were present as well. A select few bottles and glasses were on the small table by the leather chairs to the right.]
From: [identity profile] doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com
[Crane was surprised by how quickly Eames opened the door, which was definitely not a show of nerves on Crane's part. He'd been thinking through the effects of being officially paired. Because it did make a difference, didn't it? Crane tried not to look too obviously uncomfortable at Eames' smile or the hand on his shoulder, but did reply to Eames' greeting.]

Quite. There's nothing like an unexpected absence. [Crane stepped into the room, glancing around at it. It looked similar enough] Although by the sound of the last two floods I'm almost glad that I wasn't here.

[Crane walked over to one of the chairs, sitting down. He was still on the fence as to whether having the complete loss of time was better or worse than playing house in suburbia and being slaughtered by Aztec gods. The jury was still out.]

From: [personal profile] aforger
[Eames closed and locked the door behind them, then moved over to join Crane at the chairs. The warden took a seat and set out two glasses, then grabbed a rum for himself.] "What would you like?"

[As the warden grabbed a couple ice cubes, poured himself a half a glass, and then began pouring the mixer of some what appeared to be fruit punch, he continued.] "I had hoped we might speak about your friendship with Edward Nygma, an occupation for you, and the pairing itself. I'll let you choose the order, including your own topics, but we will be discussing all of them by night's end."

SPAMO - :D

From: [identity profile] doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com
Surprise me. [Crane said, even as he looked over to see what Eames was having. Some people said that you could tell a lot about a person by what drink they chose. Crane didn't tend to buy that analysis.]

[Now, all of those topics were awkward in their own way. But it was better to start with the least difficult. They'd already discussed it in part, but if Eames wanted to make the issue clear, Crane wasn't complaining.] Talking about being paired is probably the most important. It's going to have a significant impact on your life on the barge.

SPAMO - rofl. DRINK ANALYSIS IS SRS BSNS.

From: [personal profile] aforger
[Eames nodded, setting his drink aside and beginning to mix a rum and coke for Crane. He wasn't certain if the other man even drank normally, so the basic beverage seemed a safe choice for the potential beginner. He listened as he fixed the drink, glancing between the glass and his inmate.]

"Not at all." [The warden replied to the notion that being paired with Crane would have a large impact.] "The only thing I expect it to change is my ability to defend you to the other wardens when it becomes necessary."

[Not if. When. :|]
