[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. >___>

It's not your preference, either, from the sounds of it.

And I typically don't respond to retired names.

He's all upset at being referred to as 'Jon'.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

I get results. That matters more, at the end of the day. Would you prefer to gain some knowledge, or just repeat the same process over and over again?

You apparently call me by my 'alternate universe' name, so I don't see why I can't refer to you as Riddler.

Uh oh. It can only get worse.

[puzzleprince.livejournal.com]

Oh, I don't doubt it. Your talent for gathering knowledge is undeniable. It's attitude wise that you're unprofessional.

Would that be Johnny, Jon, Ichabod, Schroken, Scary, or Lunatic? You're a popular one for the nicknames back home.

This will end well.

I'm glad to see that you're such a mature example of a warden. Once you're quite finished with your name calling, perhaps you'd like to like to go and mind your own business?

[puzzleprince.livejournal.com]

It's listing, Jon. 'Alternate universe' leaves variations to be considered; I wasn't even aware you had an alternate universe name.

Point out what's offensive so I can correct the way I address you. Or would that be all but Jon and Johnny?

Lol, hypocrism.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

It's Dr. Crane. And I know exactly what you're trying to do. I have no interest in your games.

But so adorable

[puzzleprince.livejournal.com]

And I have no interest in yours, so how about you pass on the evasion game and tell me what is bothering you?

:D

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

I've made it fairly clear that it's your inability to warden efficiently that's bothering me.

[puzzleprince.livejournal.com]

Would putting out a complaint box appease you?

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Ha, ha. You're hilarious. Really.
