× you need imagination

Poker night will continue on Wednesday evenings as scheduled. There's also to be a casino night on Monday. Try your hand at some real chance.

I locked an inmate away in zero some time ago. If yours is missing, you may want to have a look.


[Private to Crane]
You'll be coming to both activities. I could use your maths.


[ooc; Mirror!Eames is a major gambling man. He's still reasonably lighthearted, but he'll make bets with people whether they accept them or not and expect them to pay. He also throws inmates down into zero all the time for random reasons or bets. Most people in mirror would know he carries a gun on him. He also pickpockets. Feel free to have a history with him, positive or negative; to have been shot by him, for him to have stolen from you, to have been in zero, to be poker friends, to be drinking buddies, whatever. Oh, and he also casually sleeps around with both genders (more male than female).]

I'd recommend avoiding the pool if I were you lot. And the pub.

[FAIL!Private to Howie]
Is your offer meant to make up for the things you've done already?


[Private to Arthur]
I'm rather concerned with the present situation. Should the Sargeant's plan fail, do you have any intention of arranging a shortcut? [That's dream-talk for 'plan B.']

[Private to Crane]
Are you alright?

Has anyone had any difficulties with my inmate as of late? Doctor Jonathan Crane?

[Private to Crane]
Have you selected the three individuals? If you're having difficulty finding time to write, we could certainly adjourn to level zero.

[Private to Arthur]
Are you still questioning your place here?

[Private to Sexby]
What was it you said about not knowing why we're wardens? I might say the feeling is mutual if I didn't understand perfectly. Better than you, I'd wager.

And as we're making things clear between us: threaten myself or my associates again for doing as your wife asked, a venture which was necessary in order to redeem Mal, and I will be all too eager to come to blows. Or perhaps I'll seek out your dreams. [lolposturing.]


[ooc; Sorry for Ang!spam guys. :|]

I am taking care of the punishment of my inmate, Doctor Jonathan Crane. If you have any concerns or desires to murder him, please be aware that you'll need speak with me first.

[Private to Admiral]
Please remove Jonathan's ability to send or receive filtered messages until further notice.

It's not been so bad here, all things considered.

[Private to Arthur]
Keep an eye on Crane for me for the evening, would you? I'll be getting pissed with Saito. Promise I won't say anything compromising over the networks. Is there anything I should specifically avoid with Mr. Saito himself?

[Private to Crane]
I heard tell it was a flood. I have no intention of repeating anything that happened during the two days' time to anyone else. Are you alright about it?

Also, I'm getting drunk tonight. I'll stop round your flat and drop off a key if you promise you won't get into anything you know I wouldn't approve of while in my room. If anything happens, call for Arthur or myself and go to my flat. I still intend to watch out for you.

[Private to Saito]
I'll meet you at the pub at say, half 9?

Some years ago, I was meant to read "The Prince and the Pauper." I never did, mind you, but I learned enough to pass exams. Basically it's a story of two rather identical-looking boys who trade places, the prince to a peasant and vice-versa. I imagine that's rather self-explanatory. The point is that they were treated with the expectations of their position and didn't actually learn much of anything until they began to consider the other side. Call me sentimental but, political motivations aside, if you use your imaginations, you may notice a few similarities.

[Private to Arthur]
Have a drink with me tonight.

[Private to Crane]
Any stories about your friends you feel like sharing?

[Filtered to: Capa/Crane (the Cillians)]
I trust there were no problems during your last working session.

[Private to Angelica]
I'd like to speak with you at length when you have a moment. Face-to-face.

I must say, I've rather enjoyed the quiet as of late. Anyone interested in a game of cards?

I wouldn't say no to a good night's drinking partner either.

[Private to Eddie]
My item is still linked to Dr. Crane. I'm under the impression he intends to return at some period, even still.

[Private to Agent Kay, Howie, Arthur]
I've confirmed that Edward Nygma was the friend Jonathan Crane was speaking of. Any other new developments?

[Private to Mal.]
I trust you're doing well?

[Warden Filter]
The vial's been recovered. I'm dealing with the punishment of those involved.

[TypeA!Filter: Howie, Agent Kay, Arthur]
My concern is that the vial I was pursing was stolen from the person who stole it from me. Arthur's taken the liberty of comparing samples; the vial I recovered is not the one I've lost. I have reason to believe it was a warden and, based on the frequency of communications, have narrowed the first list of suspects to: Claire Bennett and Edward Nygma, though we should not entirely rule out Snape as well. Or any others, for that matter. I don't trust many of you.

Please tell me one of you lot has a better knowledge of personalities than I do, or else I may have to make comments on the amount of time you've been spending along. [Amused tone at the end there.]

[Private to Crane]
I find myself in a bit of a dilemma. I know that you have the ability to help me immensely, but I can't trust you to be honest with me. It's a very difficult situation and one I'm not entirely certain how to remedy. Any ideas?

Oh, and do be careful of Arthas.

[Private to Arthas]
The vial of fear toxin was stolen from you. I had intended to pursue it on my own, but.. I.. was beaten to the punch, as it were. I'm willing to make a bargain with you if you can help me to recover it.

[Private to Slade] - [added a minute later]
I wonder if I might ask you a few questions.

[Private to Capa] - [added a minute later]
Mind humoring me with a few answers about Doctor Crane?

[Private to Martha] - [added a minute later]
I need your help.

[Private]
This place is extraordinarily reminiscent of unconstructed dream space. It's no wonder Mal seems to think we're trapped in a dream world. Arthur seems to be settling in nicely; he always adapts. Jonathan I do worry about.. He needs someone to look after her. I can't help but be too attached, with Fischer and all. I just need to remember that.

[Public]
Apparently I've gotten a gingerbread house. Any idea what it's for?

[Private to Crane]
How are you? Rose told me you never made a pass at her. I was a bit disappointed, until I realized how close the two of you were. Care to elaborate for me?

[Private to Mal]
Feeling better?
