[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. >___>

I love that the barge makes these ridiculous conversations exist. :D

See, this is what I'm talking about. That's wonderful for you, but you really should stop announcing it to the whole barge. It's your reaction to your relationship that's dysfunctional. It's like a fifteen year old announcing to everyone that she's gotten her first boyfriend.

ME TOO OMG

[thatlibbychick.livejournal.com]

I was incredibly drunk. Add to that the year and a half I spent separated from him after I died. Naturally, I'm kind of excited to be with him again.

One who refuses to accept this reality shouldn't be attempting to psychoanalyze anyone, least of all another therapist. Deal with that first.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

You have totally missed my point. I do not want to hear about your relationship.

And playing the reality card? That's a low blow, and you know it.

[thatlibbychick.livejournal.com]

It's not a low blow when it's a valid point.

Not even counting that, I've seen you trying to manipulate people into misanthropic attitudes--remember the things you were saying to Rex? You can't be trusted as a therapist if you're going to twist things to be more negative than they really are.

I wish I could find me "I'm so high!" icon. It has swirly eyes.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

I'm not going to debate the reality of this place with you. It's clearly a useless endevour.

I'm hurt, I have to say. I was just sharing my honest opinion of the world with Rex, and then you accused me of trying to manipulate him?

it would be so epic :c

[thatlibbychick.livejournal.com]

Oh? I don't buy that for a second.

Rex is just mad that he's come off his high. IGNORE HIM.

[requiresssacrifice]

I'm also not a child, so there was no cause for concern.

[thatlibbychick.livejournal.com]

I'm not saying you were susceptible to his attempts, Rex. I'm saying he's proven himself to be a manipulator and can't be trusted as a therapist.

[requiresssacrifice]

I see.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

It's nothing personal, she just enjoys patronising inmates. But apparently I'm 'crazy', so what do I know?

[requiresssacrifice]

I believe insanity would place you in the majority here, anyway.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

I can't disagree with that. You think there would be some kind of screening process for the wardens, but apparently not.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

It's not my fault that you're excessively paranoid.

[thatlibbychick.livejournal.com]

I refuse to be bullbaited by you.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

I'm so I'm baiting you now? Again, it's not my fault that you're paranoid.

[thatlibbychick.livejournal.com]

I'm aware of the tactic. Keep going if you want. When you say something of value, I'll respond in kind.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Well, that's not going to happen, because apparently the only thing you feel comfortable discussing is your sex life.

[thatlibbychick.livejournal.com]

You go right on thinking that.
