[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

[Crane is really nice like that.]

Oh. [Crane is surprised by this.] On moral or safety grounds? Or both?

[doctor_j_crane]

The more I learn about this Timothy, the more I dislike him.

I'd visit you, but I don't think I can without a willing warden. [Crane doesn't think that Pookie will agree to it.] I could ask Rose to head down with some of your books and her rather more agreeable warden, if you'd like?

I would, Jonathan, but it seems an awful imposition...Painkillers are going to be especially difficult to get. [Read: What does she get out of it?]

[doctor_j_crane]

It's rather irritating, I know. [Sigh.] But Nygma has been very helpful to my research in the past. So it's more doing me a favor than him. I would make it up to you, in future. [Answer: IOU.]

[preachyrose]

[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.

Hey. Stay away from my library.

[doctor_j_crane]

To be fair, if anything I was warning you of the potential dangers that your library could suffer.

[ichoosefight]

If it burns, I'm blaming you.

[doctor_j_crane]

That doesn't seem overly just. I merely made a suggestion. It's not my responsibility if someone chooses to follow it.

inmate filter.

[deepdowndark]

If anyone decides to do that, I will be forced to stop them. By any means necessary.

Just so you all know.

inmate filter.

[doctor_j_crane]

The way you talk is almost enough to make me think you were a warden. A fire of fire, perhaps? Or just of disorder?

Re: inmate filter.

[deepdowndark]

I am one of the wardens of these books, and they will never burn under my watch.

inmate filter.

[doctor_j_crane]

I think that the term you're looking for is librarian?

[notarrowette]

Taking a page from my former inmate's book, hmm? What did those nasty books do to you?

[doctor_j_crane]

Someone lit a fire? How interesting. Was it particularly successful?

[notarrowette]

Someone tried, because he was from a world where books are illegal. But it wasn't successful at all, no.

[doctor_j_crane]

Let me guess. O'Brien? His world does seem rather backwards.
