I've graduated. I'll be leaving the barge today. [Crane pauses, because that was all he was planning on saying. But now, rambling time.]

I've been on the barge for quite a while. As anyone who knows me will agree, if I can graduate it's entirely possible that anyone can. I suppose I ought to thank those of you who've made a difference to me, which is the vast minority. Thank you for your assistance.

I can safely say that come hell or high water, I won't be returning to the barge as a warden.


[Private - Kay]

Thank you, again.

[Private - Narvin and Dracula]

I apologize that I'm leaving the two of you in the middle of the tranquilizer project.

[Private - The Marquis]

I'm sorry to leave you before we could have a thorough talk about what you're going through.

[Private - Eddie]

Should we meet before I go?

[OOC: Don't be defriending, Crane will be back in a week real time as a canon updated warden! c:]

He has feelings about this, that he doesn't know how to verbalise.]

[After much deliberation, he's settle on how to respond.]

If you're certain you're leaving, we probably should.

Private; done

[doctor_j_crane]

I was just as surprised as you probably are. I'm still not entirely sure that this isn't some form of flood.

Private;

[insolubleriddle]

I'm not surprised.


[Pause.]

Alright, I'm a little surprised.

A proper congratulations is in order, I think. My stock of gold stars seems inadequate for the task, so might I interest you in a drink?

Private;

[doctor_j_crane]

A drink would be fine. I can even get one from the bar myself now, presumably. [Oh ho, warden-ish privileges.]

Where would you like to meet?

Private;

[insolubleriddle]

The bar, if we're able to enter. It should be vacant at this time of day.

Private; - spam? c:

[doctor_j_crane]

Excellent. I'll meet you there.

Private; - spam!

[insolubleriddle]

[Eddie will be at the pub entrance, patiently awaiting Jonathan's arrival.]

Private; - spam!

[doctor_j_crane]

[Crane comes not much long after, looking very pleased with himself.] Edward. You're here.

[He leaves it at that. Suddenly this reverse of the warden-inmate dynamic feels a bit awkward.]

[janesaid]

Congratulations.

[No, she doesn't know you. But getting the hell out of here? She's jealous, frankly.]

[doctor_j_crane]

Thank you. I don't believe we've met?

[private]

[nolongerhollow]

Excellent!

Ah, fear not, we shall manage. Though I fear the Barge will miss your expertise.

I wish you good fortune in all your endeavors.

[private]

[doctor_j_crane]

I'm glad that you're continuing with the project. It's certainly worthwhile.

And the same to you. Good luck with your future inmate.

Private

[timesbureaucrat]

Congratulations and good luck.

Your work on the project has been quite useful. If you're willing to leave copies of your research notes thus far, perhaps I can find someone to continue the work.

Private

[doctor_j_crane]

I'll leave you with everything that I've worked on so far, as well as write out some extra notes. It would be a shame if the project was never completed.
