[12] - Video Post

[Crane’s holding the device up, and you can see from the wall behind him that he’s in zero.]

I don’t see why you’re all taking this so personally. It isn’t that different from one of your little floods, is it? And it’s not like the lot of you didn’t have it coming.

[Crane shrugs, as if to say ‘my bad’.]

Have fun with the cleanup. I’m sure there will be lots of exciting things to find around the barge.

[Crane gives the camera a bit of a grin, then moves the device away to turn it off. You can still see for a second that he doesn't look as cheerful as his tone would indicate.]

[Whoops, Crane’s in zero (brought down by Sam Tyler) and still a little bit high from the fear gas. He’s decided that he doesn’t really care if other people know he caused it because he reckons the information will get around anyway. He also doesn’t know that Ms Rose is alive yet either. I’m also open for a spam with any wardens coming down to visit him or other cool cats in zero. And this post is dated to around Sunday evening.]

Only you would prefer screeching over my dulcet tones.

It involved less interaction on my part. Although your reaction was somewhat unusual. My toxin was less refined at that point. I trust you've not been experiencing any chest pains or flashbacks thus far?

Oh my goodness, your hastily constructed concoction yielded unusual results? Stop the presses. [Driest of the dry.]

Really, Jon. You introduced frog poison to my lungs without having previously tested it's effects. I'm surprised I didn't suffocate within the first few moments of having breathed it in.

[He crosses his arms.]

Luckily I suffered no permanent injuries.

That fact that you're still alive is a testament to my skills. [Said super smugly.] Although, as for permanent injuries, time will tell.

Or my stamina. A lesser man might have choked and died.

Time will leave you disappointed.

You certainly seem to have stamina regarding your powers of speech. Your voice would have given out before you decided to stop.

Not everything capable of physical manifest. [He seems pleased to have found a pot hole.] Your toxin is very visually inclined, so I suppose instead of being terrorized by certain things, I slipped into a state of lunacy. Much like one would after a snake bite. I'll need to find myself some throat lozenges.

It was an interesting reaction. I did take some notes, which I imagine are still in your room. [Crane looks a bit disappointed that he won't get to keep them.] Your mind is most unusual.

You're still levels below your elder counterpart. [Shuffling is heard as he searches for the notes.] Unusual? Try a compliment that hasn't been used to describe Joker.

I fail to understand what my 'counterpart' has done that is so impressive.

From physical appearence, I would say you had a lot in common with the Joker. You're both so very bright.

Judging from what I've heard about your past endeavors, he's done quite a bit more. Doesn't your Gotham allow for expansion? Or has the Joker taken you over in that aspect as well?

[Huff huff because damn it, his attire is far nicer than Joker's.]

I suppose, but there are no similarities aside from the color scheme.

[Crane looks all huffy.] I hardly had the chance. These things do not simply come out of thin air. If I'd had more time...

[He changes the subject back the the clothes.]

That is quite true about the differences. The Joker seems yet to experiment with personal hygiene.

He seems to have missed the showers introduction into everyday society.

[And the subject is changed yet again.]

The outcome would have remained the same. What was it that you did? Frightened a couple of vulnerable lunatics? I expected better, even from a 'half-baked imposter'.

In my defence, they did manage to make quite a show of murdering each other and it did last for a reasonable length of time considering my materials. Besides, I'd like to see you do better.

Why would I try to one up you? There would be little to gain on my part.

Well, if you don't think you're up to it, I can accept that. Some people don't have the skills needed to create such things.

I'd be perfectly capable if not for my lack of sadism.

How narrow minded. It doesn't have to be sadistic.

A certain amount of sadism is required to send people into hysteria.

Don't be foolish. I was acting like the Admiral does. Creating conflict to help them grow as people.

The Admiral's conflicts allow for retaliation. You needlessly made m-- people succumb to their worst fears without that option.

Are you bitter that you haven't had the chance to retaliate yourself?

[Going to ignore that question.]

Are you trying to convince me of your sadism?

I'm not sadistic. I do what needs to be done.

On that note, I notice that you haven't announced your role in the whole fiasco to the other wardens.

It wasn't needed.

[A falter.] They haven't yet asked, and they probably won't think to.
