Well that was interesting. I'd like to suggest a new response to floods of this nature (if you'll excuse the pun). Now that the flood has finished, I suggest we never speak of this again.

Except, of course, for those who showed a very poor level of behaviour. You know who you are.


[Private - Dr Facilier]

Did you manage to perform the task I asked you about?


[Private - Eddie Nygma]

I'm starting the process. The equipment better still be on offer.


[Private - The Joker]

Would I be able to ask you some questions? About Gotham?

Now a casual listener might think you felt uncomfortable during this flood.

Private - voice

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Oh, uh, you. I saw that you were no longer in the infirmary. I take it that you're feeling better? [Crane does not make this sound like it's a good thing.]

And feeling uncomfortable in floods is normal. I was an animal.

Private

[cantrunfromme.livejournal.com]

Oh me. Feeling right as rain, actually. I didn't see a get well card from you though. And here I thought we were friends.

Humans are animals. Besides, as a shrink I'd think you'd be salivating at the chance to deconstruct why certain people changed into certain creatures.

Re: Private

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

I had other things to tend to.

And there's no reason for what people changed into, apart from the whims of the Admiral. However, I can, and have, been deconstructing individual reactions.

Private

[cantrunfromme.livejournal.com]

I'm all ears.

Private

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Frankly, many inmates degenerated far too quickly into animal behavior. Indicating that their ordinary behavior is only just above a primal level. I'm not surprised.

Private

[ahahaaahooo.livejournal.com]

Missing it already?

Private

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Are you? You didn't seem to be there for a great deal of time.

Private

[ahahaaahooo.livejournal.com]

Long enough. You didn't answer my question.

Private

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Yes. Fine. I am 'missing' Gotham.

I'm more curious about where you're from. I assumed that since you had such a notable entrance into city society that you weren't local.

Private

[ahahaaahooo.livejournal.com]

Did you. Maybe I had no reason to come forward. Maybe I was biding my time.

...Or maybe I am from elsewhere.

What's it to you?

Private

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

I'm just curious. You have to understand, your exploits make you very interesting. Such as your motivations behind it all.

Private

[puzzleprince.livejournal.com]

Already? Aren't you efficient.

The offer will stand for as long as you're willing to keep your end of the bargain. Speaking of which, is it at all possible for me to monitor the conversations you have with Joker?

Private

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

I try.

I suppose I could allow you to look at my journal device. That way, you would be able to see the closed conversations.

Private

[puzzleprince.livejournal.com]

Are you speaking right this minute?

Private

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Yes. He's not being very... willing. He seems to want to talk about me, which is quite inapproriate.

Private

[puzzleprince.livejournal.com]

Well then, you'll just have to be particularly dedicated.

I'll be around shortly.

Private

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Fine. I'm trying to keep him talking, but it's a fine line between getting him to speak and getting him angry.

[acid_rayne]

Can't say I never warned you.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Warned me about what? It's not my responsibility if the Admiral decides to do this to us.

[Voice]

[always-thewoman.livejournal.com]

[Her voice is amused; there's a smirk in it]

Is that meant to be a chastisement?

[Voice]

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Just commentary. Unfortunately, I doubt the warden administration will respond in any way to what happened in the flood.

[Voice]

[always-thewoman.livejournal.com]

And what was it, precisely, that happened? After all, you seem to have made it through in one piece

[[NOT FOR LACK OF TRYING LOL]]

[Voice]

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Very funny. If we were under any viable source of law, acts committed during the flood would be considered criminal.

[Voice]

[always-thewoman.livejournal.com]

That's debatable. And irrelevant, in any case - Barge rules, Doctor. They're seldom generous.
