My new warden is a detective. The irony is not lost on me, Admiral. [Sigh.] It does make one wonder. Does anyone actually like their warden?

[Private - Hayley]

Is your warden likely to search your room?

[Private - Rose (Wicker Man)]

I need a favor. It's nothing serious, just minding a few of my things.

[Private - Riddler]

I need to talk to you regarding my sample of the fear toxin. [Assuming Crane has it after he made it, but he wants to give it to Eddie for safekeeping.]

[Private - Irene]

I need to know what you took when you went into my room. It's nothing personal, I'm just keeping track of things.

[Closet - Eighth Floor.]

[Mysteriously has some plants appear on the very top shelf, pushed far back and hidden behind an old box. Also a bucket of potting soil placed on the very bottom shelf on the opposite side.]

[Crane, being smarter than your average scarecrow, realizes that Pookie's likely to search his room. He's trying to split up the naughty things that he does have, so if parts of it get lots there'll still be some left. He's also leaving some things in his room to be found, hoping that Pookie will assume that he's found all of Crane's secret stash.

That said, for Pookie's sake, here's a list of what's still in his room: a small amount of 'hidden' plant samples in the back of his desk, the very bottom part of the radio antenna that Crane actually missed on the floor behind the desk and numerous notes on 'fear toxin' (some in the desk, some folded up and placed into the books on his shelf). There's also a sheet of information labelled 'antidote - fear toxin (personal use)' which is very much not an antidote to fear toxin There's also a plastic tank with a spider hanging out in it.

The objects that Crane's hoping to give out/hiding include, for me own records: bucket of potting soil (bucket [Loki], soil [Adam]), fold out radio antenna in pieces [Mikhail], plant samples (numerous - from the garden), one sample of actual fear toxin [Riddler], instructions for one version of a truth serum [Crane] and numerous notes regarding potential fear toxins that have been copied out into the pages of very boring books [Crane/Crane's room].]

Well, I don't plan on using fear gas anyway and, if you do? I won't be a part of that unless it's directed at our neighborhood, sociopathic clown. If it's like, the truth serum and stuff, I agree it would probably be better that no one saw us. They might get the wrong idea-- or the right one, I guess.

The fear toxin is far too obvious by this point. [To Crane's extreme and constant disappointment.] The truth serum, however, is likely to be even more effective than the fear toxin on the Joker. [Oh, yes. He wants her to ask how.]

I could have guessed that. The Joker doesn't seem to be afraid of anything except maybe his past, which comes with honesty.

Yes. I want to establish whether he is as legitimately disturbed as he presents himself or whether it's an elaborate front for something more controlled.

Then we've agreed on a target once it's perfected, but who are we going to use for a guinea pig?

We'll need to be selective. It would probably be easier to choose someone who isn't popular with the wardens.

Other than you? I can't really think of anyone I'd be interested in injecting that isn't popular with the wardens. Do you have any ideas?

It might be best to keep an eye out and take advantage of a situation as it arises. [Which is a Crane way of saying that he isn't sure.]

Uh huh. Should we be listing people that are off limits or are we going to talk about it?

Well, my preferred target would be Judas but I've gathered that you don't share the sentiment.

Why Judas?

I don't really have an opinion about him one way or another except that I feel like he hasn't actually done anything wrong and it would really just be you exploiting whatever it is he's going through.

Frankly, because I find him interesting. But there's no need to pick a target that makes the situation more difficult than it needs to be.

I'm inclined to avoid more supernatural test subjects. It might sully the results.

How about someone who might have done something wrong. Like, say, Seamus Harper?

The ridiculous drunk? Provided he was reasonably sober, he could be quite a good target.

He's sober enough. I think it could work.

It's definitly an option. While his being a warden isn't overly helpful, it also provides a 'motivation' if we're discovered.

Trust me, I have that covered. He and I have a history, so the whole "motive" thing will totally get blamed on me.

Excellent. I, of course, have the motive of scientific curiosity. I have probably done some quite insane ranting in your direction about the general issue.

Of course. Just like I'm using you for your knowledge.

Excellent. I'm glad that we're on the same page.

Wait. You were exaggerating, right? Because otherwise we might not be.

Yes, Hayley. I was exaggerating. [He really was.]

Okay. I look forward to working for you.

Good. [Whoops, Crane isn't saying the same. Cold.]

[Private] I love the my/me typo because it makes people sound randomly irish. :3

[Private] I do it all the time. Seriously, it's half my edits. =.=

[Private] I do it my fair share as well.

[Private] It's a sinister typo indeed. :c

[Private] If by "sinister", you mean "awesome." Indeed.

[Private] It is kind of awesome, I have to say.
