04 ⚜ Video
[Pristine is how Crane appears when he flicks on the video feed; it's a lovely display of smoke and mirrors that he's pulling off, after the events of the last three days. He has a clean, elegant, ascetic appearance - and enough calm professionalism to mask his excitement.]
You're all handling this outbreak remarkably well. It seems you're all keeping to the boundaries of the law, as the Major-General expects you to. That's a good thing, mind. It would be terrible news to hear people have been shot for breaking quarantine.
Anyway, I am here to help if this event has caused you psychological distress. I am a doctor, after all.
[A pause, and he tucks in his chin and folds his hands in his lap. He half-closes his eyes.]
Fears and phobias are my specialty, and there is much to fear in this situation.
[His head comes back up. He's staring at the lens.]
Be that as it may, fear is something everybody needs. It keeps you safe and keeps you on your toes. It will do you all well to remember that. That it's good to know we must always feel a little scared. It's good to see that most of you haven't submitted to bravado and dagger-tongued bragging.
[The corners of his lips lift in a boyish smile. He tilts his head slightly. His voice is disarmingly gentle. His soft inflection on 'most of you' is meant for one person in particular.]
And I wouldn't like to think that those with guts would put everyone in danger. I trust everyone to make the best decisions for each other in combating this disease.
It would be terrifying to think we couldn't trust each other. Wouldn't it?
[He crosses his right leg and rests his hands over his knee. His graceful fingers smooth his trousers, and he waits for his audience to speak.]

[ Whatever, Hank didn't get any sleep, anyway! Seems legit. And maybe he could try to act more offended, or...something, but...he's actually laughing at Jesse Pinkman snoring in Crane's face. Hank's role in this post is to laugh at everybody else sassing Crane, job well done. ]
no subject
[Shrug.]
Regardless, I suppose it's better there's words in your mouth, rather than a gun in your holster.
no subject
Which reminds me, when you see Graham for lunch, tell him he better bring me one of those brownies after work. He owes me for a game, anyway.
[ No he doesn't actually expect Crane to tell Will anything. He just expects Will to see this. ]
no subject
... I'll see what I can do.
Besides, Will and I are good friends these days.
[Keep polite. Keep cool. It makes for a better surprise.]
no subject
Hey great, maybe he can bring you to the bar one of these nights when we aren't all fighting off the black death.
I'll bet when a guy like you gets hammered, you break out into show tunes. Right? Come on.
no subject
I don't drink. Besides, there are other ways to have a gas. One doesn't need to drink themselves under the table to have fun.
[He says, completely serious.]

I'm afraid I'm the sort of man who's married to his work.
[That's no to all of those. Don't hate Crane because he's boring, okay.]
no subject
Well no wonder that's all you can talk about. Almost feel sorry for ya, must be depressing as fuck. Maybe I'll send you that gift basket after all. You a Nietzche guy?
no subject
It's been alleged I'm a student of his, in the recent past.
[Hello, Bruce. Are you watching? Are you paying me attention?]
no subject
Bingo. I'll send you some Nietzsche and ginger ale for your tender stomach, Doc. Maybe I'll sneak in some Garfield comics so you can catch up on other schools of thought you've been missin'. Broaden those horizons!
no subject
... Of course. I'm certain you shall, anyway.
[Go with the flow? Isn't that what they say? He might as well direct it.
Maybe he can palm those comics off to some children or something. What a lovely man he is.]
no subject
[ There won't actually be Garfield, and he won't send Nietzsche because Crane probably has everything by him already and Hank isn't that nice to a fearmongering dude during plague.
He is however nice enough to send this and the ginger ale the next day. :) What a nice guy. ]
no subject
Which doesn't last long. Because he's alone in his office, Crane doesn't throw it outside - he throws it at the wall instead. Pity.
Soon after, Hank gets a simple answer.]
That was a thoughtful present. How very considerate.

Hell yeah. They got caramel?

Fifteen. For the boys.
[ He's not a total pig. ]
no subject
Needed to talk to you anyway. I got that trick shot down.
[He puts out, publicly. But it's about pool, right? Only the most paranoid and delusional motherfucker would think otherwise.
This is his design.]

Crane's not here, but he is, and he's totally stalking this
