I'm currently experimenting with not using the journal device until it goes away.

My plan so far has been successful.

[charmedandperky]

That's great, Crane. Best bet. Let me know if you do get caught though. Truth telling karma I
can do.

[doctor_j_crane]

To be honest, although this flood does make that rather redundant, I had expected to be interrogated regarding a wide array of barge issues and my character in general.

[charmedandperky]

Interrogated by who? Oh. Sorry, uh. I mean, I wonder who would interrogate you.

[doctor_j_crane]

[Crane takes a while to reply, he's obviously thinking very carefully about how to word his answer.]

You, and some others. [He leaves it at that.]

[charmedandperky]

I'm not going to interrogate you, Crane, least not under these conditions. Like I said, I can duplicate them at any time.

I know we don't have a lot a trust going here, but I'm not going to sacrifice what we have by taking advantage of your weakness.

If you want tell me about your barge issues and your character in general, then you can, but it's not going to help you get out of here if I take it without your permission.

[doctor_j_crane]

You can duplicate them at any time? Surely you can see that doesn't inspire trust in any shape or form. You're too- [And he stops, mid sentence.]

We should have this conversation once the flood has finished.

[charmedandperky]

I can. There's a spell in the Book of Shadows. There's also a potion.

Fine, in the mean time, ask yourself this question, wouldn't it have benefited me to use it before now? Why did I mention it?

And no, the answer to the second isn't that you asked me, because I volunteered the information.

[doctor_j_crane]

If you're so very powerful, you could have used similar things and I would never have realized. You could be using something right now.

[charmedandperky]

No, it's not how that works, you can tell as much as you can tell a flood.

Besides, I can't use my powers to hurt people. Only protect them. If I do, well, it poisons my soul. I'd open myself up to all kinds of dangers.

[doctor_j_crane]

I don't believe you. You could simply be pretending to be affected by the flood.

[charmedandperky]

Yeah, because I really need a truth flood to be doing what I've been doing the entire time I've known you. Tell me one lie I've told you.

[doctor_j_crane]

I wouldn't know if you had lied. I've got nothing to cross check it against.

Private

[charmedandperky]

All right, we'll talk after the flood, at least then you won't be worrying about me not telling the truth about not being able to lie.

Oh, and how do you feel about being able to tell the future?

Private

[doctor_j_crane]

I fail to be comforted by the fact that you could punish me for things that I haven't even done yet.

Private

[charmedandperky]

You also fail to grasp the little subtle point here, Crane.

I am not punishing you, I'm offering you to get the ability to tell the future. That's my sister's power.
