doctor_j_crane: Crane looking neutral. (Through my glasses you look small)

For reasons totally unrelated to the recent flood, I've recently turned my mind to the issue of barge romantic relationships. [Crane sounds awkward just saying it.] Frankly, I'm confused as to why anyone could ever think that it ever would work out. Ignoring numerous public examples of messy arguments between wardens and inmates alike, I've never in my experience heard of a prison being described as a good dating environment. While the inmates do obviously suffer a certain lack of options, it's the wardens that persist in romantic liaisons that surprise me.

How can your supposed relationships have real meaning if they have an expiration date date? Or would you be willing to give up your family, friends and universe for one person who seemed like a good option while you were in a prison? You can believe me when I say that it isn't only unrealistic, it's unhealthy. It's no more valuable than a relationship forged in a war zone, done by the same messy necessity and a certain need to settle for what is available, no matter how substandard. It's disturbing how easily you all seem to give in to the delusion that it means something. It doesn't. It just has that sliver more meaning than the rest of your pointless existence on the barge. Furthermore, it's a disservice to your inmates and not to mention a failure in your duties as wardens. You're not here to find meaningful relationships with each other. You're supposed to be helping us.

[Pause. Crane sounds slightly more amused.] I hadn't done this in a while. It's highly therapeutic for me to tell you all the ways that you're wrong. I recommend it highly to other inmates.

It could be slightly related to the flood. [The longest pause.] I'm not sure that I want to talk about it. I do apologize though.

[OOC: Whoops, going to do that post and run thing. Will be back in eight hours, after sleep. <3]

I can go back to my fans and my tigers.

And would that be enough for you?

[identity profile] doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com 2011-07-03 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
Even after everything you've seen and done on the barge?

...unless there was some way to go to Arthas's world. It sounds nice.

Any world with Arthas in it isn't a good world. You should go to the place that you were talking about before. It sounds better by comparison.

Yeah, well...they've got plenty of Death Knights there, and they actually appreciate loyalty. It sounds brilliant, really.

[identity profile] doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com 2011-07-05 01:54 pm (UTC)(link)
What does being a Death Knight involve?

[identity profile] flashy-magic.livejournal.com 2011-07-05 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Powers. Lovely glowing eyes, which I could do myself with a spell, but still...it would be amazing. Death Knights are guys like Arthas. Of course, he said I'd probably be something different, like a lich or an abjurer. Wouldn't that be just brilliant?

Isn't Arthas something other than human? Is that part of the package as well?

[identity profile] flashy-magic.livejournal.com 2011-07-07 02:47 pm (UTC)(link)
He was human before he was a Death Knight.

[identity profile] flashy-magic.livejournal.com 2011-07-08 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I think he was. I know he wasn't always like that because I saw the conversation between my mum and his dad.

[identity profile] doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com 2011-07-10 09:30 am (UTC)(link)
I saw his father. He seemed like a pompous fool.

[identity profile] flashy-magic.livejournal.com 2011-07-10 12:43 pm (UTC)(link)
That's because he was a pompous fool.

[identity profile] doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com 2011-07-11 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
Arthas doesn't like him, I gather?

[identity profile] doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com 2011-07-12 01:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Everyone thinks poorly of their parents.

[identity profile] flashy-magic.livejournal.com 2011-07-12 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
He thought Arthas should be dead and stay that way.

[identity profile] doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com 2011-07-14 12:23 pm (UTC)(link)
That doesn't necessarily sound like a bad idea.

[identity profile] doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com 2011-07-19 12:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Once again, we seem to disagree.

Because of course, knowing him will make all those murders be okay

[identity profile] flashy-magic.livejournal.com 2011-07-19 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
You just don't know him.

Oh, Drake. <33

[identity profile] doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com 2011-07-20 11:53 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think my getting to know him will help.
