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?

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?

[ahahaaahooo.livejournal.com]

Beyond the Admiral? You cut off the head, the rest falls apart.

Unless you have any... recommendations?

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

I'd quite agree with the Admiral, but considering his particular nature it would be impossible.

[ahahaaahooo.livejournal.com]

Everyone has a weak spot. You just have to find it.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Did someone find yours? That would make for an interesting story.

[ahahaaahooo.livejournal.com]

Hahaha! You're welcome to try doctor.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Oh, I wouldn't do something like that. I was more interested in the past. Your scars, for example.

[ahahaaahooo.livejournal.com]

That's certainly a story. We'll have to meet up. Face to face I'll tell you the whole thing.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Perhaps another time. I'm sure you have more important work to do.
