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?

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.

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

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

I'll be around shortly.

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

Perhaps he'll speak freely while angry? Most people do.

I imagine he would, but the risk of doing so needs to be balanced.

Tell him a joke featuring infanticide and an inanimate object of your choosing. It should balance out his mood.

[Elongated pause.]

What floor is your room on?

Jokes aren't really my thing, but I suspect it would probably help. Perhaps a baby should get run over by a bus.

The second floor. Room four.

If you say so. That equipment had better be useable.

A ruined glove says they're all very much operational.

[The connection ends and he's knocking at your door, Crane.]

Spam, I gather? :D

From: [identity profile] doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com
[Crane is not amused by this knocking, but goes to answer the door.] You may be jumping the gun, you know. This isn't going to be achieved in one session.

[Long pause. Staring.]

You're very green.

Spam indeed.

I expected no miracles.

For future reference, I enjoy chess.

[Eddie invites himself inside.]

How astute. And you're looking...black today, Jon. It's very you.
From: [identity profile] doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com
I try. [Crane is pretty obviously not happy that Eddie's in his space.]

Here. [Crane hands Eddie his journal device, already on the Joker conversation.] It's not much. He probably just enjoys being difficult.

Spam - just a small portion, then.

[Eddie is going to find a seat before reading. Well, assuming there's a chair somewhere in Jonathan's room.]

He may be more compliant in person...but we're not going to chance that, are we?

Spam - Sweet.

[There are chairs, and also a desk. With books and notes on it.

You're welcome to try, but I have a vested interest in not dying every second week. [Crane shrugged. He didn't think he was going to get awfully far unless the Joker was under the influence of some form of chemical.]

What a coincidence, I have a similar interest.

[Eddie gestures towards a chair adjacent to his own.]

Is there anything at all you can tell me about the Joker? Don't restrict yourself to your most recent conversation. I wouldn't mind knowing his actions prior to his arrival on the barge.

Spam - ABSOLUTELY :D

[Crane took a seat, and thought for a moment.]

From what I hear of the media, hysterical as it is, he's an intensely dangerous man He's managed to pull off huge acts of destruction, and although the Batman has stopped a large loss of life he can hardly stop the individual kills that the Joker seems to enjoy. [Crane pauses for a second.]

He's crazy, of course. But in a different way to everyone else. He seems to encourage the Batman's interference.

Spam - what will he find? o:

[Edward glances up from the communicator.]

That's a unique quality? Really? I know quite a few who enjoy the caped crusaders less violent attentions. [Not counting his reformed, certifiably sane self, of course.]

Are you and the Joker the only villains?

[And now to start browsing Crane's other messages.]

Spam - :D

There's no one else that I know of except for the Joker that even comes close to enjoying it. [Crane's doesn't sound like he believes anyone could enjoy it.]

I wouldn't classify myself as a 'villain', but I understand what you mean. There's the Joker and myself, and previously Ra's Al Ghul along with his men.


[OCC: Putting the stuff Eddie could fine here, your call which. Crane is bffs with Ms Rose, and he has bitched about Eddie to her before. There's suspect plant dealings with both Grindelwald and Rose, and also a teeny bit with Dr Facilier. It's also pretty clear that he's on good terms with his warden, Max, and encouraged her to get the Joker a temporary warden. So it depends on what Eddie wants to go for. :D]

[Riddles.

'Mainly the bad jokes on his personal journal. He may be trying to be 'funny'.

Frown.]

Hmn.

What would you classify yourself as?

[OOC: The bitching with Rose is a TOP PRIORITY.]
From: [identity profile] doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com
[Crane noticed that Eddie wasn't looking to pleased, but gathered that the Joker was likely a sore subject with Eddie.]

I think the world isn't quite so simple as 'hero' and 'villain'. The Batman is no hero, and I would hardly put myself into some kind of villain box. It's too simplistic.

[Jokes in general certainly are.]

The masses prefer memorable terms over speculation when grouping individuals. Though I never much liked the implications of 'hero' or 'villain'. Too solid for my tastes. And I'm not quite certain that the so called hero's are a positive influence on society.

The Batman is certainly not a positive influence. Society may have died down following his initial appearance, but soon the fear of criminals will turn into resentment and anger.

You're finished, correct? [Crane held out his hand for the journal, even though Eddie still appeared to be reading.]
