HAHAHAHAHAHA!

...
What?

OOC: And the mun shakes her head at her "New (or at least somewhat) to Gotham, has had her life threatened, and STILL doesn't do her homework" muse.

Oh nothin'. I mean, I'm a huuuuge proponent of the Doctor. Worked with him at Arkham.

Let me guess, he's got a way of gettin' ya in touch with your fears? Teacha to face what's deep and dark inside?

Actually, he didn't mention anything about my fears that I can remember. Just that I could probably use an appointment.

I'm sure you'll love it. Enjoy.

Maybe I should ask a friend to go with me..

I wouldn't do that if I was you.

Why not? Especially since my new health insurance pays the free.

Dr. Crane is a criminal. A very dangerous man. Trust me. I'm speaking from experience.

...
Joy and rapture. Do I have, like, a beacon on me? Oh well. Best to be polite to that type so they don't realize you're running away in terror.

Don't worry. It's not you. Crane searches out those he thinks he can get to, or manipulate. Just...stay away from him.

Am I, really? I prefer to think of myself as a research scientist on the cutting edge.

I guess I forgot to include insane in my description, didn't I?

"Insane" is relative here in Gotham.

Perhaps it is, but that's not going to stop me warning people about you. About what you are.

ooc: That icon is made of win. lol.

I'm a walking agent of personal catharsis, like many of my colleagues.

ooc: Thanks! Since I didn't make it OR find it, it's not bragging to say I KNOW!!

rktikfox is a genius, and the Dent who found it for me rules.

Isn't he the nut that got arrested? That could be Crane with a K, though. Don't mind me.

I.. really don't know. I just got to Gotham, just got a job, and he suggested I come and talk to him professionally..

That's just...perfect. Don't worry about finding my office. I make house calls.

...That is really not reassuring.

Though.. Would you mind terribly, Doctor, if a friend were to be visiting?

Surely you're not afraid of being alone? Isolophobia - I can help you with that.

Of being alone, no. Of being alone with someone who there seems to be some doubt about how dangerous he is, yes.

No offense is meant, of course, Doctor. I merely.. prefer caution.

Some doubt? If we're going to really get work done, you'll have to trust me. Completely. Implicitly. Intimately. I'd say "Don't be afraid," but...*shrug*

Does anyone trust a shrink they've just made that people have told them is a criminal implicitly?

What do you have to be afraid of?

My life has been threatened twice already, Doctor, and I've been in the city three days.

That's an impressive record. Why do you think people want to kill you?

One wanted to kill me if I couldn't answer his riddle right. The other just chucked a bomb at me.

And that was before I was an ADA!

Has this induced any episodes of thanatophobia? Would you like to work on that?

Minor episodes of it. I'm just warning you that there will be "implicit trust" issues.

Well, we can have our session be a surprise. I'll trust you enough to show you my mask - that should open up some possibilities.

Er.. really.. I'd.. like to schedule the first one. You know? Just a nice.. consultation.. With a ~~witness~~ friend present.

I'll send you an *high-pitched giggle* appointment card. DO keep an eye out for it.

ooc: He means, of course, an envelope full of fear-gas.

...
How wonderful. I will be watching for it.

OOC: Oh dear... Starting to work for one villain, getting fear gas from another, almost getting killed by two others... Yay for the first week of an ADA in Gotham!

ooc: well, you can decide when and how you'd like the gas-envelope to arrive, and whether it hits her or a hapless secretary or mailman. Why not live the thrills of the Gotham lawman's life?

OOC: Already working on the fic of her freaking out. Poor dear!

Now, I'm a little rusty from "Batman Begins" (and I'm a horrible person and don't know the comics) but about how long do the effects typically last again? I know it's not permanent..

I'd go with 4-6 hours, maybe?

Getting an envelope from Crane, the way to become your apartment complex's favorite person.
