doctor_j_craneWell 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?

Spam - Can Eddie be a dick and check the other messages on Jon's communicator? :x

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
Date: 2010-07-03 12:37 pm (UTC)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:
Date: 2010-07-03 01:00 pm (UTC)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
Date: 2010-07-03 01:13 pm (UTC)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]

Date: 2010-07-03 01:35 pm (UTC)'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.]
Spam - Spam - LOL. Bitching is always the most important thing. :D
Date: 2010-07-03 01:42 pm (UTC)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.

Date: 2010-07-03 02:08 pm (UTC)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.

Date: 2010-07-04 01:33 am (UTC)You're finished, correct? [Crane held out his hand for the journal, even though Eddie still appeared to be reading.]

Date: 2010-07-04 03:25 am (UTC)[Eddie pinches the bridge of his nose, as if impatient with himself.]
Just about. Give me another moment. [He motions towards the fine white mesh covering his eyes.] They're not ideal for reading.

Date: 2010-07-04 05:24 am (UTC)As you can see, he's not being overly helpful. This is a long term project, which I would be continuing after using your equipment.

Date: 2010-07-04 07:26 am (UTC)The results should make the effort worthwhile. I'll be waiting with baited breath on your riveting reports. [He leans out of his chair, surveying the room.]
...Do you have your mask here, by any chance?

Date: 2010-07-04 08:42 am (UTC)Does it matter? What use would it be? [Crane shrugged, trying to give the impression that he didn't particularly care.]

Date: 2010-07-04 10:19 am (UTC)[Eddie pauses, reconsidering his words.]
Your parallel self has dissociative identity disorder, triggered by his mask. I was wondering if you also suffered from the condition.
x2 Spam
Date: 2010-07-04 10:35 am (UTC)I don't have any disorder. It's not an internal issue. When exposed to external stimulus, of the chemical variety, sometimes symptoms similar to one of those disorders do appear. [Crane gives Eddie a hard look.] You just enjoy wearing a mask, I suppose?

Date: 2010-07-04 12:06 pm (UTC)[Edward can't help but grin at that expression.]
Oh, I only recently stopped wearing sunglasses in favor of these. It's a protective measure.

Date: 2010-07-04 02:15 pm (UTC)Gotham city is well aware of my person. Frankly I'm the only newsworthy subject they've got. No ones interested in villain escapades these days. Joker murder/maim/kill this, Mad Hatter kidnap/hostage that. I've interrupted a line of graceless spiel with my intriguing cases, and I daresay presence, too.
It's not to protect my identity at all, and god forbid it be a defense mechanism. You're loosing your touch and you haven't even adequately expressed it yet.
[Eddie lifts his hands in a shrugging motion.]
That was disappointing. Are you going to try again?
x2 Spam
Date: 2010-07-04 11:23 pm (UTC)[Pause.] No. I don't think I'll try again. I may need to make more observations.

Date: 2010-07-05 07:03 am (UTC)Yes, we do in fact have a Terrible Tailor running the streets. Contrary to popular belief, he doesn't create fashion disasters. He fixes them. [Staring at Crane's attire so very pointedly.]
[Blinks.] More observations? I wasn't actually encouraging you.

Date: 2010-07-05 12:57 pm (UTC)[Crane would have said more, but didn't want to risk their deal by offending Eddie.]
Is there anything else I can do for you?
x2 Spam
Date: 2010-07-05 03:16 pm (UTC)[Eddie takes that as a sign to leave and gets up out of his chair.]
Nothing accomplishable at this time, no.
Your cooperation is much appreciated, Jon; I'll be around later to check up on progress. Enjoy your evening.
