	I was just about to message you. I thought we could leave some of it there and spy on Arkham. Maybe even build in some failsafe programs. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Re: eddie/bruce onerule 2014-03-27 05:52 am UTC (link)
	That would be a good idea. What we had before wasn't enough, clearly, considering what Crane was able to do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: eddie/bruce riddlethem 2014-03-27 05:56 am UTC (link)
	One of the Dark Knights I knew had a base under Arkham island. A second cave. It's not a bad idea. Leland was one of the best things to happen to me, but she was too trusting. Whoever they put in next will either belong in a straight jacket or hurt anyone who goes in there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Cursor blink.] No, it isn't, especially considering the amount of activity there.

[...] She was a good woman, and she didn't deserve what happened to her, but you're right. There is a difference between wanting to help and blind trust. The temporary director is just that: temporary. I doubt that we'll be able to find someone who is a less trusting version of Leland, but there has to be another option.

	Re: eddie/bruce riddlethem 2014-03-27 06:07 am UTC (link)
	I can help carve something out, if you want. I need something to do besides read old journal entries and listen to conversations from five years ago. Sometimes I think it'd be better if Arkham never existed. How many people has it actually helped? Two. Me and Harley. Harley is gone back to Joker by now I'm sure. And, I still riddle. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: eddie/bruce onerule 2014-03-27 11:00 pm UTC (link)
	Alright. [Cursor blink.] It must be difficult. For you, all of that is in the past. But we're still working through it. I know, but we need another option besides Blackgate. [...] I saw that the Joker was here. A different one, it seems. [Pause.] You're not the same man you were when we first met. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I'm trying. [Blink.] When we came back we were so exhausted from fighting a war that we didn't know how to talk to anyone. I forgot how many people I hurt. Stephanie hasn't seen her family for years.

I'm guessing shooting Crane into the moon isn't an option? [Blink.] He looks like one of the Joker's I know. Harl tells me he's sick and not just in the head. [Blink, blink.] But, how much of that was thanks to you and Steph and the others and how much of that was the drugs and Leland?

	It's going to take time for the two of you to adjust. Anyone who knows what you've been through should understand that. No. Unfortunately. [Cursor blink.] He's ill, then? How bad? [...] I don't know. I think Arkham has the potential to do good, but that potential isn't always utilized. Oftentimes it's used for the exact opposite. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: eddie/bruce riddlethem 2014-03-29 07:37 am UTC (link)
	You're right. Most of them won't understand, but that's not anything new. Seems like he's dying. I've seen it happen a couple times before. I wouldn't get your hopes up, he usually either finds a way to survive or plans a big going away party. [Blink.] Well. With us watching it closely, hopefully it won't get out of hand as quickly.
