[7] - Belated Flood Reaction [Video, Public]

[doctor_j_crane]

[Crane is in his room, and visible next to him is a stack of books, with titles pointedly turned away from the camera.]

Well, I’m not really sure what to say.

[Beat, in which Crane looks pensive. But only for a second.]

No, actually, I know exactly what I want to say.

To the “Riddler”, you are without a doubt the worst warden on the entire barge. It’s wonderful that you’re willing to convince someone who’s clearly flood affected to try and jump off the deck. Next you thing you know, you’ll probably just be killing inmates on your own steam. That’s more effective, isn’t it?

Adric, it’s just chess. You clearly have some kind of obsessive personality to make it into some huge issue. Move on.

Libby, no one on the barge cares about your relationship and apparently sexual dysfunction. That is not something that anyone needs to hear.


To the other denizens of the barge, especially all the new ones, welcome to your life. Prepare for floods of varying varieties that tell you exactly what you didn’t want to know about your fellow inmates and wardens. If you’ve got a problem with it, I’d suggest taking it to the Admiral, but we don’t exactly see a lot of him.



[Private to Jack Tyler]

Thanks. [Crane looks as if saying that is causing him physical pain.]

[Private to Ms. Rose]

I am sorry about not talking to you earlier. I’ve been… indisposed. Thank you though, for being one of the few people in the flood to keep a level head about you.

[Private to Max]

I’m just getting some things off my chest. That’s not going to be a problem, is it?



OCC: PHPHPH I haven’t done my final exam, and I know I say this every time I post, but I am actually slow timing. Really. I just wanted to make sure this was up well before port. Also, sorry for the long post. >___>

Well, I don't doubt that. You were very persistent though.

[alzarian-youth.livejournal.com]

So were you.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

I was only reacting to how agressive you were.

[alzarian-youth.livejournal.com]

And you were really creepy and talked about a voice in your head. If I've got issues, I'm not the only one.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

[Crane actually stops to think about this for a second.]

That's interesting. You'll understand, my flood recollection is a bit hazy. I must have been very, very drunk.

[alzarian-youth.livejournal.com]

Maybe you should read through your own journal entries and analyze yourself!

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

You know, that isn't the interesting part. The interesting part is analyzing your response. Are you an inmate or a warden?

[alzarian-youth.livejournal.com]

Warden. Actually, I'd think analyzing some of the things you said would be very interesting. Especially the part about the mask.

Behold, Crane's rapid attempt to change the subject.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

No, that's not interesting at all. I'd much rather talk about you. Don't you think it makes you a bit lacking as a warden, if you so easily find things 'creepy'?

[alzarian-youth.livejournal.com]

Only if I was your warden, and I'm not.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Oh, so I'm not allowed to be concerned for the general welfare of the barge? That's upsetting. Do you have an inmate at the moment?

[alzarian-youth.livejournal.com]

No, but I just meant other inmates aren't creepy, so it's not a problem if I don't have to deal with you.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Other inmates aren't 'creepy'? Are you joking? I could name three at the tip of a hat.

[alzarian-youth.livejournal.com]

Well, okay, the vampires kind of are, and there are some others, but I won't be creeped out by my inmate.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Not even if you got, say, Alastair?

[alzarian-youth.livejournal.com]

Doesn't he already have a Warden? Anyway, it doesn't matter. Dealing with any inmate is better than going back to being dead.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Everyone around here is obsessed with death. It's a bit morbid, really.

[alzarian-youth.livejournal.com]

Probably has something to do with the fact that most of the people here have died.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

So many people here say that, and none of them realise how ridiculous it sounds.

[alzarian-youth.livejournal.com]

How does that sound ridiculous? This is an afterlife.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Suffice to say, I disagree. You won't agree with me, but actually, we're all in an asylum. A crazy house.

[alzarian-youth.livejournal.com]

It hardly surprises me that that was where you were when you died. And I doubt it was as a doctor.

ZING :D

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

I'm not the one who thinks he's an alien. And trust me, just because you're in denial about this being an asylum, it doesn't mean that it isn't.

[alzarian-youth.livejournal.com]

And just because you're in denial about your death doesn't mean you aren't dead. 'Bye, Dr. Crane, I've got better things to do.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

If you insist.
