doctor_j_crane: Crane looking neutral. (Shrink Talk)
[personal profile] 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. >___>

[private/video] - ME TOO. It's awesome. :D

I'm not trying to question your competency, but really, the Joker is going to wake up one morning and cut someones face open. The only real way to avoid it is to put him in zero preemptively.

[Crane pauses for a second.]

But that probably isn't going to happen. Could you at least check that he has a temporary warden?

[private/video] - hee. yes!! 8D

I'm not sure that's really in my "jurisdiction," [She quoted with her fingers.] But I'll look into it and try to get it down.

Okay. That's fine. Thank you. [Crane sighs a bit, leaning back in his chair.] It could be worse. At least he hasn't done anything yet.

Let the paranoia die and live a little. If it happens it happens but sweating it before the fact isn't going to do anything but hurt you.

I'm being prepared. And I'm not unjustifiably paranoid.

Huh. Doesn't seem that way to me... but I'll give the benefit of the doubt.

Thank you. This is the point in the conversation where people ordinarily start calling me crazy.

[Smmiiiiles.] Well, I never said you weren't crazy.

[Shrugs.] Apparently you know how to use your 'inside voice', unlike everyone else here.

[She extends a finger. SHINY INDEX FINGER, SEE?] Alright, rule one? We're going to get you a sense of humor that's not morbid as all get out-- because that was a joke.

Rule two, everything you just said about the Joker...? Yeah, I know, back to serious. Keep that between you and me. I'm not saying you don't have justifiable first hand knowledge of how he ticks, but spreading that across the network is going to get you more publicity than him and... I think he'd probably like it.

Not that I have to tell you. Just laying down some ground rules as we go.

Yes. A joke. [Awkward pause.]

Oh, I intend to keep everything about the Joker between just us. Otherwise I'll probably end up dead in some cupboard on the barge with a stupid grin on my face. I say that with no humour whatsoever. At the very least you would know who did it.

I... [Frown. So much frowning, and pause.] didn't think you were joking about that.

[Terribly long silence.] Well, I suppose people don't joke about that, do they?

Of course. [Awkward, awkward moment.]

[Have a feigned smile and a sort of thumbs up.] We'll start ya off on knock knock jokes and see what happens from there, capiche?

That seems more the Riddler's area of expertise.

We're going to develop a sense of humor all your own. No one's 'expertise' but yours. Life's too short to take every little thing seriously.

We're in a prison. Life has to be taken seriously here.

I agree but not ALL the time. You're human. There's room for error, and some genuine laughing too.

I think all things aside it's not a bad first task to ask of you, so what do ya say?

From: [identity profile] doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com
I don't think that's a reasonable 'first task' for me to do. How are you supposed to measure something like that?

I'll figure out a process.

Fantastic. [It's pretty clear that Crane is less than excited.]

[She smiles.] Great. [Too bad you're gonna learn to have some sort of fun. :CC or something.]

I'm looking forward too it. [Clearly indicting that he's not. Fun that doesn't involve science or experimenting on people? Madness! :D]
