[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.]

[That had Judas on his feet and looking through the bars of the door again for a few moments before he goes back to his own journal. He can't see anything, but he just realizes that durrr that's what Crane said.]

No.

[He looked up through the bars again.]

No, he wouldn't. Angelica said he was ill.

[Ill? Crane mentally added that to his count of how many people he'd hit.] She was trying to be polite, Judas. No one likes to say that kind of thing.

[Judas furrowed his eyebrows at Crane from behind the bars and shook his head fiercely, firmly in denial of such a thing.]

No. No, he can't have.

I'm sorry, but it's true. Perhaps you should have done better. [Crane shrugged, and started to look at his journal again.] There haven't been any volunteers to be your warden so far. Maybe they'll leave you down here for good.

[Judas's breath caught in his throat and he began to shake the bars with his hands, a vain attempt to free himself.]

No, they wouldn't. The Admiral would re-assign me. I'll be out of here. By Wednesday. I'll have a new warden on Wednesday.

[But despite all his threatening to Sexby in the past six months, he never wanted a new warden. The older man knew just how to push him in the right way and seemed to genuinely care for the Apostle but Judas knew there was a rift between them since his transformation.]

[Crane wasn't particularly amused by the bar shaking. Before he'd thought to amuse himself with Judas, he had been getting close to that point himself.]

Why would the Admiral reassign you so soon after a murder? Surely he'll wait until the next sorting for good measure. It's a more appropriate punishment.

[Judas frowned deeper and pressed his forehead back against the bars.]

You must be lying. You must be.

[Spam!]

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Why would I lie? [Crane put on his best sympathetic face.] What could I possibly gain from that? I'm simply trying to help.

[Judas looked across at Crane, looking a little defeated, if not heartbroken.]

No.

No? To what? [Crane raises his eyebrows slightly, as he pretends to look through his journal again.]
