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?

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

[ahahaaahooo.livejournal.com]

... Are you trying to analyse me, doctor?

Private

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Not analyse. Just converse. Some people find it theraputic to get things off their chest.

Private - Sorry for being so slow.

[ahahaaahooo.livejournal.com]

Oh? And what would you like to share with class? Doctor Crane.

Private - No probs, bb. :D

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

No. I'm not as interesting as one would suspect. You, however, seem to deliberately take on a more colorful persona. Or is that just representing how you feel inside to the greater universe?

Private - LALALA, YES HE'S AVOIDING THE QUESTION. XD

[ahahaaahooo.livejournal.com]

Oh, now, don't put yourself down. Your fascination with fear. That's interesting.

Private - THAT'S JUST HOW HE ROLLS. :D

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

It's strictly professional, I assure you. Judging by your antics, you have more then a passing interest yourself.

[ahahaaahooo.livejournal.com]

In fear? What make you say that?

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

The makeup, primarily. I was under the impression that you constructed your current demeanor to increase the discomfort of those around you.

[ahahaaahooo.livejournal.com]

Now why would I do a thing like that?

[Wet smack of his lips.] Does my appearance unsettle you?

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

No, no me. I can see how it may perturb the general public. Even citizens of the barge. You've created a fair amount of interest.

[ahahaaahooo.livejournal.com]

Not my doing. It's all these... other people. People who've... heard of me.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Do you feel as if your reputation has already spread? Such a fear would not be unfounded. Certain members of the barge are very interested in where you come from. Very interested indeed.

[ahahaaahooo.livejournal.com]

Now why would I be afraid of infamy?

Would they now... interested enough to ask a learned man... such as yourself, to attempt to analyse me perhaps?

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Most people would recoil from such negative attention. It is in most people's nature to want to be accepted, after all.

Attempt to analyse you? No, of course not. I would hardly accept such an offer. It's disrespectful and highly unprofessional.

[ahahaaahooo.livejournal.com]

[He giggles.] Of course it is.

What could you possibly gain from a set up like that anyway.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Nothing physical, one would assume.

Regardless, this isn't relevant. I'm more curious as to your future goals on the barge.

[ahahaaahooo.livejournal.com]

Take a guess, Doctor. I've never hidden my motives.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

What don't you give me a few options to start with, and then I'll guess?

[ahahaaahooo.livejournal.com]

Oho! A guessing game. I like it.

Option one. I want to take over the barge.
Option two. I want to escape the barge and get back to Gotham.

And option three. I want to make sure the Admiral pays for what he's done.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Let me guess. All at the same time?

[ahahaaahooo.livejournal.com]

Ahaha! What can I say? I aim high.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

I imagine you would. You do have quite a precedent. I don't suppose you have any particular targets in mind?
