[Crane is sitting at his desk, and is looking at a rather large spider that is currently walking up his arm.] It's fantastic to know that there's such a wonderful system for dealing with emergencies on the barge. I was under the impression that when someone demonstrated uncontrollable powers people might be inclined to follow a procedure to contain them, rather then standing around and brainstorming.

[Have a moment of quiet seething, while Crane takes the spider off his shoulder and lets it start crawling around on the table.]

This flood is also ridiculous. I fail to understand how having leaves falling on the deck is designed to make us 'better' people. If anything, it would just encourage anyone with a lighter to make a bonfire. Books from the library would make good fuel, wouldn't they? [Nope, totally not encouraging other inmates to do bad things. Definitely not.]

[Inmate filter]

If anyone does decide to do that, at the very least stick to some useless romantic fiction books.

[Private - Eddie]

[Oh look, Crane put his spider back in the tank while he's talking to Eddie.] I'm assuming that you're either dead or have had your powers contained. If you are hypothetically alive, can I have the key to your room? I need to use your equipment.

[Added later - Private - Ms Rose]

Would you be able to take Nygma some of his books to zero? My warden is unlikely to take me down there. Apparently Nygma's fine, but bored. He also requested painkillers.

[OCC: Crane is flood affected, and for the new people the spiders are his pets. They come from the broom cupboard. It's a beautiful story.]

[Oh she likes that. Especially with burn-y sacrifices in her future.]

I'll see what I can do. It might take me a day.

[And here Crane was assuming there wasn't anything she could ask of him that he'd find surprising.]

Sooner would be better, but I understand the constraints of these sorts of things.

Now think about this, Jonathan. If I ask him for pills, as well as for a trip to zero, even my dimwit of a warden will make the connection. I have to ask the infirmary staff, and you know how agonizingly slow they are, without his knowledge and then sneak them in with the books.

True, but you could hypothetically ask the infirmary for the painkillers upfront. I don't imagine that they'd deny bringing one of their own that sort of thing. Unless, of course, you don't want to be associated with Nygma?

I have my own ideas, Jonathan. Let me do what I need to do.

I will. Do what you need to do. I trust that your warden is still reasonably agreeable?

I've given him no reason to be otherwise.

My warden has been very quiet. Either he's up to something or waiting for me to act.

We'll say he's waiting for you to do something stupid.

So very comforting. He's going to have a long wait.

You have been rather quiet lately.

Reasonably so. It also helps to be wary with these new people. You never know who may turn up.

Are you afraid of a specific person showing up?

I'm not afraid. Merely concerned. It would have negative effects for many people on board.

Your batman?

Yes. If he isn't already here. [Paranoia, paranoia.]

[Sigh.]

I doubt he is.

Have you had much contact with a man called Slade?

None at all, actually. Why?

There are too many similarities for comfort. It makes one wonder.
