doctor_j_craneI’m out of zero, since the warden administration decided to get their act together. [Eye roll, Crane’s obviously not impressed with the time he spent down there.]
Unsurprisingly, nothing has changed. Good job though, with getting rid of the fear gas mess so far. The dining hall is looking quite pleasant. You could almost eat your lunch there without thinking about someone getting murdered where your chair is. [Crane just smiles at the camera for a long moment, before flicking it off.]
[Private – Irene Adler]
I don’t suppose you know anything about this? [Crane holds up a wad of paper which appears to be a file on Irene, with a kiss in lipstick on the top. He’s put it in a plastic sleeve to avoid touching the icky lady germs.]
[Private – Ms Rose]
I’m out of zero, finally, but you’re not in the infirmary. Where are you?

Date: 2010-07-17 03:00 pm (UTC)You drove a guy to murder, that's not not something to be smug about.
Private - Yeeeah. Crane is kind of in need of a smackdown. :D

Date: 2010-07-17 03:09 pm (UTC)Your mission on this barge is to make it up to him. I don't care what you have to do, grovel on your hands and knees, jump in front of a bullet...
You didn't kill a guy, you killed a guy's

Date: 2010-07-17 03:13 pm (UTC)Besides, I can hardly give whoever it is a bit of his soul back. He should work through it on his own.
Private
Date: 2010-07-17 03:32 pm (UTC)And no, you can't. I'm not even asking that outta you, what I am asking, no telling, you are going to acknowledge your responsibility for what Judas did.
And no, I don't mean a half-assed apology to the guy, which I know full well you won't mean, but you are going to his warden and asking for penance.
Private - Crane is secretly five. Permission granted to throw whatever punishment at him.
Date: 2010-07-17 03:40 pm (UTC)So, have at me. [Crane leans back in his chair.] Throw me in zero again, if you think it'll help.

Piper starts reading off a scrap of paper.] To keep him from setting off fear gas/ Doctor Crane will not get a free pass/Change him into something real wise/Until he feels it's best to apologise.
[Yes, the spells are just that bad. Delibrately vague as to what he ends up as.]
OOC:
Date: 2010-07-17 03:54 pm (UTC)Can we say that Piper was halfway through the spell before Crane went "O__O magiced person, I may need to change my mind"?
OOC:
Date: 2010-07-17 03:57 pm (UTC)Absolutely fine, assume that there were shiny balls of light surrounding him about a line in to prompt him to flail.
OOC:
Date: 2010-07-17 03:59 pm (UTC)Anyway, back on track in a sec.
Private
Date: 2010-07-17 04:02 pm (UTC)What the- [Crane doesn't quite finish, he's swinging around to look at the one behind him.] Are you doing this? That's actually work-
Okay. [Crane cuts himself off.] Let's talk about this like adults. Penance. Right.
Private
Date: 2010-07-17 04:09 pm (UTC)Just to help you understand and empathise with a victim of yours. Hey, you're lucky, it's not like I'm going make you help out the
Private
Date: 2010-07-17 04:16 pm (UTC)And this isn't part of the experience. This is you using that [general wave around his head where the lights were] to force me into making insincere apologies.
[Crane stops to think.]
I'll compromise with you. I'll apologize to Judas, because the man has a plethora of mental health issues. But I'm not apologizing to his warden.
Private
Date: 2010-07-17 04:25 pm (UTC)Sorry I didn't mention it earlier, force of habit. [She shrugs.]
Only if Judas is willing to talk to you and only if you're going to sincere about it. I don't care what you have to do, dig deep into your childhood, indulge in method acting. Find some real emotion beneath that superficial exterior of yours and put yourself in his place.
Otherwise, I'll just get creative. One way or another.
Private
Date: 2010-07-17 04:29 pm (UTC)In that case, I'll talk to him. It may take some time, as I'll need to practice the best way to approach it. I'll even make sure to draw up an analogous event from my childhood.
And for the record, forcing me to do things isn't going to change a great deal.
Private
Date: 2010-07-17 04:33 pm (UTC)Which was why I gave you a chance to act like an adult. No tantrums, no magic. Deal?
