It appears we have a predicament.

[ The voice is familiar--if you've heard Robert Capa's voice, you'll no doubt recognize it. Same words, same slight lilt to it--different vocabulary, of course, but the rest remains the same. ]

Given the...circumstances... I'm going to offer my help, should you need it.

[ He flicks the video screen on--and sure enough, Capa with neater hair, a cleaner face, and a pair of glasses, and a level stare. ]

My name is Jonathan Crane, I'm was a psychologist at Arkham Asylum in Gotham City, should any of you have heard of it. Doubtful. If anyone is having problems, by all means, feel free to contact me. If someone you know seems to be under mental duress--though I realize we all are--please let me know. I'm here to help as many people as I can.



OOC: I don't want Crane's identity to be quite so obvious, so if you want to recognize Gotham and Arkham and all of that, or bring up Batman, please do! But no fourth walling Crane himself, if you don't mind. :3

In my experience, no one offers anything for free.

[ A pause, and his eyebrow quirks up. ]

Continuing my practice will have many advantages, none of them of monetary value. I respect the power of the human mind and what happens when it's lead astray.

[profligates]

And what is it that you're actually offering, doctor? A free shoulder to cry on if needed? Will we sit and discuss our mothers and how our fathers never loved us? Or will we sit and talk about the rather creepy corridors of this ship and being stuck in a place that has been known to never allow a scream to be heard?

[video]

[notmydiagnosis]

I'm simply offering my assistance. Whether or not you decide you need it is completely up to you.

[Woah, that's jarring. Clean Capa up and get rid of his awkwardness, and this guy could pass for him. She frowns.]

Have you spoken with Medical yet?

ditto

[notmydiagnosis]

[ He nods, eyes raking over the screen carefully. ]

It would be a wise idea to contact them, yes.

[unheroic]

Is mental duress before the bloody corridors happened under your scope? [ He's been meaning to get a shrink anyway ]

Jesus, do your cheekbones go on for miles?

DITTO

[notmydiagnosis]

[ ....What the hell kind of a question is the last one? Allow Crane to completely ignore it and focus on the actual question, hnn? ]

Of course. If you need to talk to someone, I suggest myself.

[ ariadne sat wide-eyed for a bit, just taking in the sight of the man as he spoke. how this was even possible, she honestly had no idea. but whatever was going on, she was slightly panicked yet again.

it didn't stop her from texting him out of curiosity though. (does anything really stop her though?) ]

How long have you been a psychiatrist?

[audio] AWWWH POOPIE ):

[notmydiagnosis]

For a while. [ There's a small, proud smile, though. ]

Long enough to have quite the pull in the Asylum I was epmloyed at. I used to teach as well.

[entrapments]

[ HOLD THE PHONE. she's gotta see this. there's no way. no way ]

Did you just say Arkham Asylum?

[ video ]

[notmydiagnosis]

Are you from Gotham as well?

[video]

[circumitus]

How good are you at what you do?

[video]

[notmydiagnosis]

I have several references from Arkham Asylum and am a former professor... unfortunately, my credentials no longer have any sway.

[ He offers a small smile. ]

You're going to have to trust me.

[heltersskelter]

No shit.

[video]

[notmydiagnosis]

[ Oh teenage sarcasm. Crane does not miss you. ]

It's a rather brilliant observation, I know. But my offer still remains.

[functioningperfectly]

Hello, Doctor Crane. It's good to hear that someone with psychological background is aboard the ship; though I know we have a very good medical team, I know that it will be especially beneficial to know you are here as well.

voice;

[jilt]

How kind of you, offering your services without charging fee.

voice;

[notmydiagnosis]

It's a special circumstance.

[handelaar]

[Seeing as he has no idea who Capa is, the similarities don't throw him. Either way, he can't see why someone would want to bother picking apart peoples' brains, unless they got something from it. Something more selfish than "furthering an academic interest".]

So what do you get outta this. [Not that he'll ever participate, but damn if he isn't curious.] Uh. Really get out of this.

[notmydiagnosis]

[ Huh. ]

I was unaware offering my services meant I wanted something in return other than the sanity of this ship.

Everyone here seems quite paranoid.

BATFILTER 100% also let me know if this isn't okay lmfao i just lkgsdaj had to

[unfiltrating]

Arkh-

Is this a joke?

BATFILTER 100%

[notmydiagnosis]

Is there a problem with my line of work?

[france]

Thank Sartre, we have a psychologist aboard! I am afraid that you will find you have more work than you will know what to do with, my friend, but I wish you the best of luck!

[ A laugh. ] Mental duress. We have been kidnapped, put in an absurd situation in space and people are disappearing from their quarters. I think there is more than just mental duress affecting the people on this ship, sir.

[notmydiagnosis]

Unfortunately, mental duress is the only thing I'm equipped to deal with.
