[8] - Post-Port (Video)

[doctor_j_crane]

[It's pretty clear by the large amount of people in the background that Crane's currently sitting in the infirmary.]

Apparently, zombies exist and are fairly hungry. [Crane sounds absolutely terrible. As in worst sore throat ever. Important things got eaten by the zombies, bb.] Also, we seem to actually be on a magical barge.

[Pause]

Cue the candid camera moment. Your experiment is successful. I actually have gone so far over the other edge of things that I think this place might actually exist.

[Five seconds of slow clapping. Clap, clap, clap.]

My main question is why would the Admiral do this to us? What does he gain? Why is this happening? Why are we here? What are you wardens getting from this? Why not just leave us to rot after being dead?

[After putting that large amount of effort into that little rant, Crane bursts into a fit of some pretty serious coughing. After he finishes, he turns back to the camera, even raspier then before.]

Why do all of you people put up with this?


[Private - Max]

Thanks. For keeping me company in the infirmary. [Not sarcastic, genuine.]

The perfect view is useless. There's no way to benefit from it, and it effectively biases any future research.

[peektuttut]

Pure probability.

[puzzleprince.livejournal.com]

There must be some intelligence involved. He wouldn't be successful in his endeavors, otherwise.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

As I suspected.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

He certainly is quite sucessful. I do wonder how much additional help he must have. He could hardly pay for the suit by himself.

[puzzleprince.livejournal.com]

That depends on how much money he has access to.

Just out of curiosity, what materials is his suit made out of?

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

I have no idea. It looks almost military grade though. Suffice to say, he's not wearing hockey pads.

Why am I loling so hard. It's just 'hockey pads'.

[puzzleprince.livejournal.com]

Well, thats an improvement. He often used to wear his underpants on the outside.

I loled when it happened in the movie as well. :D

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Now, that's just sad. Did people really take him seriously?

[puzzleprince.livejournal.com]

They were obligated to as he often brought criminals to the police station.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

And yet. The mind boggles at the thought.

[peektuttut]

Good guess.

spammity spam! :D

[youdaman.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure he was coherent for port. [Max looked a little wry.]

spammity spam! :D

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

By coherent, you mean conscious and hypothetically being able to move about? [Crane was of the opinion that Alastair was safest in a coma, since being dead apparently didn't take here.]

[amagicalmystery.livejournal.com]

I'm gonna guess that was the idea. That or he's a 'taste of your own medicine' type, which I can't fault - in theory, I mean, nothin' personal.

An' you still see things now?

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

The 'taste of your own medicine' is the theory he uses, which is ridiculous, because he acts as if he's saving the city.

...I don't know. If the barge is real, maybe, maybe not. Strange things do happen around here though, so it's hard to tell if it's just me.

[amagicalmystery.livejournal.com]

Good test of that's if everyone else is seeing it, or just you.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

That would be the logical solution, if there wasn't a chance this place was an asylum. Even if it isn't, most of the people here are clinically unstable anyway.

[amagicalmystery.livejournal.com]

All right, we honestly back to that? Do I sound crazy to you?

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Not you. You're obviously one of the saner people here. I was thinking of Alastair, the Joker. Even people like Rex spend half their time having fits.

[amagicalmystery.livejournal.com]

[...smirk]

Heh, well. Ask me, then.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Next time it happens, I will. Supernatural things are probably in your area of expertise, are they not?

[amagicalmystery.livejournal.com]

[did he just get a newly-palatable enemy's trust handed to him? it's like Christmas!]

Some of them. And lurking 'round here, you learn others.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Yes, you would. There certainly seems to be enough of it floating around at the moment.

spammity spam! :D

[youdaman.livejournal.com]

[Max gave Crane a sage nod and smoothed out the covers beside his ankle.] that's more or less what I mean, yep.
