doctor_j_crane: Crane looking neutral. (Distance)
[personal profile] doctor_j_crane
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].]

How simplistic. There's a difference between liking and being friends.

...Now he's just screwing with Crane.

Is there? Are you able to like your enemies?

Crane likes it like that. XD

Interesting. You assume that wardens and inmates need to either be friends or enemies? Can't they simply be liked from a distance or respected but disliked? I was attempting to broadly search out how the barge in general felt, but your black and white world view is much more interesting.

...Snape now respects Crane from a distance.

The general consensus during my own time as an inmate was that the wardens were indeed the enemy. Can they be liked from a distance or respected but disliked? Absolutely. Is the general populace capable of this? I've never seen evidence of it.

Interestingly, disliking from a distance often leads to attempted murder here.
From: [identity profile] doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com
Well, one can always hope. If one happened to be hopelessly optimistic and misguided. I'm afraid the barge does seem to be operating at a somewhat lower standard than that. As you say, dislike seems linked to murder and little else.

So, on that note, who's interested in murdering their warden?

Oh, good. We were all out of wide-eyed pessimists.

I think I'd be the last to know if someone was plotting my demise - or that of any of the other wardens. I'm an horribly untrustworthy snitch.

I'm afraid we're not. There's quite the number.

How sad. Do you ever feel threatened, knowing that you're so out of touch with the inmate population?

subtlescience: (This is a waste of my time.)
From: [personal profile] subtlescience
Not particularly. It's in no one's best interest to do me harm.

Not this week, anyway.

No, not this week. Come to think of it, I don't seem to remember you singing a musical number.

You missed it, then. I can't expect to be remembered amongst the overabundance of performances - particularly Rayne's endearing video.

I confess, I got bored quickly of individuals waving their egos across the journal system. If I wanted to see that, I'd just have lunch with Nygma.

subtlescience: (Just an amicable chat.)
From: [personal profile] subtlescience
Some of them couldn't help themselves, in their - and my - defense. We're often compelled to do unpleasant things here.

Nygma?

Yet some of us have the presence of mind to lock their journals in their desk and spend the rest of the flood in isolation. [Yes, Crane. That makes up for all the other embarrasing floods you've been in.]

Edward Nygma. You may have noticed him. He wears an awful lot of green.

Date: 2010-09-16 03:10 pm (UTC)
subtlescience: (Eyeroll)
From: [personal profile] subtlescience
I've tried that.

...E. Nygma? Clever.

Why, thank you.

Take example from this lovely gentleman, Jon. He appears to have actual manners.

Something I'm sure you wouldn't be able to relate to.

Oh, I can. But I admittedly struggle to properly present them in your presence, ill-mannered as you are.

I'm wounded, really.

What, you just decided to have a sudden experimentation with green?
