fifty-eight : every idiot who goes about with merry christmas on his lips

Dec 20, 2010 02:00

Maybe it was just growing up as an only child in a broken divorced home? But I never got the whole Christmas thing. I'm sick of putting up decorations and getting caught under mistletoe, and everything else. If anyone needs me? I'll be hiding in my room.. or maybe on deck, if I get bored, I guess.

In person or over the journals?

Over the journals, because you might not like this..

I can't do this anymore. I can't ignore all the things you've done when I still don't even know if you're just using me. So, it's up to you: You can keep me as a business partner, where we stop being friends and go back to not trusting each other and I help you with whatever work you want.. or we're friends and we trust each other, but I stop working with you on the fear gas and the truth serum and stuff. I won't tell anyone still and I won't give them anything I have of yours, I just won't help you make new stuff right now.

Please think about it for a minute, before you answer.

[Have a long thinking minute.] You're probably not going to believe me when I say this, but not working on more fear toxin and truth serum may be the best thing at the moment. I also have commitments. I was previously considering that any attack on the Joker would be completely justified, but I suspect finding loopholes isn't helpful. So it might be for the best if we put our studies on hold for the present.

You're missing the whole point.

Friendship or business, Crane? That's it. That's all it comes down to. What you just said? Is definitely leaning toward the latter.

You always make everything sound so very dramatic. Since business is out of the question at the moment, that makes it the alternate option. Which really needs to have a better name. [Friendship, what an embarrassing word.]

This is an ultimatum. It's supposed to be dramatic.

[SIGH.] Fine. Trust it is. Just, realize what that means. Please.

[Private] doctor_j_crane December 21 2010, 06:41:03 UTC
Well, in that case you succeeded. Suitably dramatic.

I am aware of what it means. I also appreciate that this is a large shift in how we operate.

Good. [:|]

Do you want to explain, to make sure we both understand?

Well, given that our previous focus has been on our mutual discomfort with the Joker's presence and level of activity, we're now going to have to do something else instead of working towards incapacitating him. [Crane likes having goals. It makes things either.]

[Private] victimofnoone December 21 2010, 07:08:23 UTC
I'll still be aiming for that separately, just as an FYI. I don't really care about getting in trouble.

What do you suggest we work towards?

[ooc; btw, is it okay to assume Crane gave Hayley enough stuff for them to both have 1 extra vial of truth serum? Or?]

That doesn't surprise me. Needless to say, I'm not going to disturb that process. [Crane respects you murderous needs.]

Possible something like trying to minimize the effects of floods and ports on ourselves. I've had enough of doing ridiculous things whenever the Admiral feels bored.

Totally! He had quite a bit of stuff, so it's all shiny. :3

Why are you stopping? [They're not murderous! They're.. just! And righteous!~]

How do you plan on doing that?

[Private] doctor_j_crane December 21 2010, 07:24:44 UTC
Stopping trying to examine the Joker? [They are probably justified. c:]

You're the one who's always talking about 'friendship'. If you have someone watching your back through a flood, I suspect that the effects would be significantly softened.

I thought you wanted to shake things up with him. Why stop?

Yeah, but you still don't really seem sold on the idea, so I'm just trying to stay smart.

[Private] doctor_j_crane December 21 2010, 07:47:03 UTC
I did and still do want to. But it's an activity that I can't carry out just now.

I'm not sold on becoming emotionally co-dependent like it seems to require, but the rest sounds reasonable.

You know what? Fuck you. I'm done with this.
