After several days, of necessary procedures, of detox and medical treatment, one Dr. Jonathan Crane is delivered, in full restraints, to Arkham Asylum. While many of the max security patients have made their escape, this one hasn't even been held captive for long enough to be placed in max security. Here he is, if they can keep hold of him

Over this past weekend, the population on the maximum security hall has dropped by half. It's not that Harvey really minds it, but it's certainly more quiet than he needs. So when that population is raised again, by one, he notices, he notices, watching with quiet interest as Dr. Jonathan Crane is moved into his cell.

[terrorofgotham]

Jonathan is equally quiet as he watches Harvey, which is what he is doing now, instead of requesting anything to read.

[myownluck]

It's a regular staring contest, isn't it? What do you say, really, to the man who tried to kill your fiancee (not that they knew each other at the time), and the brother of your best friend?

"Welcome back."

[terrorofgotham]

He smiles, faintly, and looks away, which might be what he intends as a greeting, once the staring contest is over with.

Simon hasn't spoken to anyone but Giles and the visions in a while, so he's out of practice, but here, Jon, have a wave and some attempt at conversation.

"Hi, Jack."

[terrorofgotham]

"Jack" turns his attention to Simon, now, more of a glance than a stare.

"It's only the two of you..."

[onlynothuman]

He nods, with a shrug, and closes the book in his lap. (Nightmares and Dreamscapes, again.) "Everyone else is out right now. They'll be back."

[terrorofgotham]

He nods in agreement, and doesn't add anything else to the conversation. He's a quiet fellow, but definitely keeping an eye on the both of them.

The days Crane spent in the hospital, Giles spent going over the file House dropped off on his desk. It's very incomplete. Which is just annoying, but not unexpected. Giles doesn't think he can even trust the evaluation done when Crane came to work at Arkham.

So, once he's heard that Jonathan is situated in his cell, he'll arrange to have him taken to a therapy room. Why not get this started as quickly as possible?

[terrorofgotham]

So, now he's sitting in a therapy room, instead of sitting in his cell. Presumably, hopefully, he's restrained, because he will struggle if given the chance. He'll calm down, though, and wait quietly, to see what they're going to try to do with him, now.

[bovril_and_book]

So very restrained. Because he's proven to be slippery and much harder to recatch.

Giles is going to try to figure out how Jonathan's brain works. To figure out what to try to pump into it to get it to work a 'functional in society' way. Hopefully. He comes in with a copy of the file he was given in a plain manila folder. No pens, no notebooks.

"Dr. Crane." As if there's a chance Giles has the wrong room. "My name is Dr. Giles." And you can guess why he's here...

[terrorofgotham]

Crane looks up, neither smiling or scowling, but his stare could bore holes. Go on. Try to pry into his mind.

"Hello, Dr. Giles," he says, after a brief pause, a break in eye contact. "How are you doing, this afternoon?"
