I have a specimen that I think has lived in a bucket for a little too long. I would like a proper enclosure for it. Admiral, it can be plastic if you don't think I can be trusted with glass. [Crane sounds thoroughly unimpressed by this. He's referring to a non poisonous huntsman spider, that appeared in a Rom Com cupboard with Eddie and himself.]

[Crane pauses before continuing.] I'm rather surprised that the murder in the garden was handled so well. Was it because the culprit was reasonably obvious or due to actual police work?

[Private - Rose]

The garden is less quiet than I would have expected. I trust that you weren't affected by the recent events?

[Private - Hayley]

I want to show you some instructions. I need to know if you're capable of performing them.

Save my life. I don't want him to lie to me. He doesn't lie to me.

[Private] - :D

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Has he saved your life before?

Re: [Private]

[heavenonthemind.livejournal.com]

Yes. Of course he has.

[Private]

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Then how can you be so sure that he hasn't lied to you before?

Re: [Private]

[heavenonthemind.livejournal.com]

He hasn't. He's sworn to me that he hasn't.

You do realize that people can lie when they 'swear' to you? There isn't some grand universal force preventing it.

Re: [Private]

[heavenonthemind.livejournal.com]

Shut up. Shut up!

[Private]

Oh, Judas. The way you talk sometimes. It's as if you don't like me.

Re: [Private]

[heavenonthemind.livejournal.com]

I don't like you.

Re: [Private]

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

I know, Judas. You have this strange aversion to being told the truth, and seem to be putting your feelings towards that onto me.

Re: [Private]

[heavenonthemind.livejournal.com]

You lie to me.

That's a lie. You're lying to me.

[Private]

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Judas, really. We're all lying to you. Everyone on the entire boat.

Re: [Private]

[heavenonthemind.livejournal.com]

No. No. No.

[Private]

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

That's right. Keep denying the truth. It won't change it.

[Judas just turns off his end.]
