[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.]

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.]

Humans on the Disc were minorly ignorant and didn't care much about us, but here... it is absurdly abusive.

You should go to the library. We have an entire genre of literature where your people are reasonably common. Read some of that, and perhaps you might understand our prejudice.

I work in the library, if you've entirely forgotten your ability to read again, human.

I have no interest in reading your prejudiced literature. I have no interest in understanding stupid human judgements on me. That implies I should tolerate it.

Working in the library doesn't correlate to reading books, as your ignorance of our culture displays.

Funny, how the mind works. You expect us to tolerate you, but refuse to consider tolerating us.

I refuse to tolerate your prejudice. There's a rather large difference between not tolerating someone and not tolerating being constantly poked fun at.

Yet if you examined our prejudice, you'd be able to correct it. Thus removing the possibility of people 'poking fun' at you. Unless, on some level, you enjoy the conflict?

I can correct it without examining it.

No, you can't. You can't correct what you don't understand.

I've seen enough of it already.

Yet you still don't understand it. How disappointing.
