we all go a little mad sometimes

After weeks and weeks of 16 hour days and then his week in the hospital, it's nice to have his work schedule back into something more managable. It gives him time to concentrate on his studies, visit with friends and most importantly, start seeing his patients. CJ had been easy to fit in and as per the mun's decision they'd been meeting handwavily bi-weekly. But Tara, Tara required much more intensive, hands on sessions and Jonathan had unfortunately not been able to keep up. Which is to say the mun sucks.

Now though, he could change that. Preparing the materials for todays session, and hanging up the posters all over again, he waits for Tara.

After giving his already spotless apartment a thorough dust and vaccuming, Jonathan heads back into the kitchen to check on dinner. The ham is almost ready as is the potatoes and green bean casserole. As soon as the casserole is done, he'll be putting in the apple cobbler.

Styling his hair and putting on his nicest suit he waits to finish dinner. It was only a matter of time before he got here.


((for flash_demon Quit sniggering!))

I promised it to Tara, so here we go.

Breakfast On Pluto

Plot Synopsis- Irish pretty boy Patrick "Kitten" Brady (Cillian Murphy) leaves his small-town life -- and his male persona -- behind in this wild romp from Neil Jordan (The Crying Game). Uncomfortable as a male, Patrick hits the crazy scene of 1970s London and emerges as a transvestite cabaret singer. The irrepressible gender bender then sets out to find his real mom and winds up getting involved with the IRA. Liam Neeson co-stars and Stephen Rea cameos.

Because there are new people, and I never did one, I figured I'd write it up, Jonathan, for those that don't know, or those that do, or those that just want to make sure what they know is what everyone else knows... wait, huh?

( Jonathan Crane, a mass of contradictions, step lightly, please try not to slip in the crazy )

And that’s Jonathan, in a nutshell; a four page long nutshell. Look it’s a shell for big nuts. Or a big nut, whichever way you'd prefer to interpret it as.

After their run in with Victor Zsasz, Jonathan takes Tara to his office at Brookhaven, far away from the Red Wing, and lets her call some one to come pick her up. He wants to do it himself, but unfortunately he has to get back to work at some point.

He has time to comfort her though, because there's no way anyone is going to be telling him to get to work while he's keeping a possible lawsuit from getting filed. Hospital beuracracy can be useful sometimes.


"Hey Tara" he says, offering her the handkerchief he keeps in his coat, "I'm so, so sorry about that, he wasn't supposed to be coming back for a few days yet. I," he takes his glasses off, rubbing his eyes, "If something had happened to you... I would never have forgiven myself."

Tara came to Brookhaven and the crazies all loved her. That's the brief summary, for those of you looking to see the content, we thought you might want a linkpostso you don't have to go swimming through your f-list.

Part One: Defender of the Green- Tara get's searched and interviewing Pamela Isley a.k.a. Poison Ivy
Part Two: Visions in the Flames- Tara talks to Garfield Lynns a.k.a. Firefly
Part Three: Mad Love- Tara talks to Harlene Quinzel a.k.a. Harley Quinn (thanks so much to cupidofcrime for helping out with this)
Part Four: Badness and Sadness- Tara accidentally runs across Victor Zsasz a.k.a. Mr. Zsasz

all preplayed via IM and as such, locked for interaction, feel free to OOC if you want though.

He'd promised to get Tara interviews with the patients and when after weeks of asking Dr. Chilton, he's given the go ahead, Jonathan doesn't hesitate to call Tara over.

( Brookhaven Patient Isely, P alias; Poison Ivy )

((pre-played via IM locked for interaction, but please OOC to your heart's content))

He's exhausted, yet another sixteen hour shift at Brookhaven and he's begginning to think no letter of recommendation could be good enough for this kind of abuse. They'd better get some more staff and quick or they were going to start losing people to burnout.

He takes off his tie, toes off his shoes and unbuttons his shirt, sitting down at his desk, he rolls his neck to get some of the kinks out. He almost doesn't want to check his email, he's dreading looking at the rotation for next week, but he is a masochist afterall so he boots up his laptop and opens his email.

He's intrigued by an email with the subject line 'call me a fan' clicking it, he begins to read.

From: A Fan <benefactor@cube.com>
To: Jonathan Crane <j.crane@gothamcentral.com>
Date: Mar 14, 2006 8:13 PM
Subject: call me a fan

Mr. Crane

Love your work, here's something to possibly help it along. The future is ripe with opportunity.

- A Fan

there's an attachment and he downloads it. It's a video file, streaming. He plays it, only to see Shane, Emma Frost, Kadaj, Justin, Rodney and Wilson all inside a strange room, waking up and complaining about not belonging here. Unsure at what he's looking at, he fast forwards it, and sees Shane quickly dodging around lasers. The voices, the colors, Emma said it perfectly, rats in a maze.

The perfect experiment in fear... and he was being given what is likely the only log. He smiles, watching them attempt to overcome each obstacle, who needed sleep

((with permission from weeks_villian, Jonathan doesn't know where The Cube is, he just has video of everything that's gone on and that will go on))

Jonathan is having a quiet night at home. He's buried in paperwork from the hospital this is the mun's flimsy IC excuse for where he's been... go with it people and he still has a paper to write for Dr. Enpecee.

He's really hoping for a distraction, on the verge of going out and looking for one he's so ready to stop looking at tiny text and patient files.


((for shane_mcc... don't look so shocked!))

So after taking my midterms today, I went home and had myself a coma ('was it about a hundred hours?) Anyhow, I woke up and got my meds, came home and figured hey! let's mess with Photoshop. I made some great Tim icons (congrats Jon, now you have to buy a paid account) and then I was all, didn't Anita want me to make some icons?

And you know what? She did! Unfortunately the pictures she sent me were very ugly (sorry Anita!) so I went searching for some on my own. I realize these might not be exactly what you want, and as such, do not actually expect TimTams. As I was saying, I was messing around in Photoshop, trying to duck my father trying to feed me my 20th glass of orange juice of the day.

( Jon is a cheap h0r )

Jonathan has everything ready for Tara's therapy today.

There are large posters of different kinds of guns covering his bookcases and the walls. Handguns, shotguns, rifles, all in huge, hi-resolution, glossy posters. He has a cassete player on the table. And on top of his customary yellow legal pad sits a thick glossy magazine. On the cover is a man holding a black handgun with several other types of guns spread out on a table in front of him. It's a catolog, full of pictures of every gun the company sells, with accompanying descriptions. Clear, precise, almost loving descriptions of what each gun looks like and what it can do.

Tara's really not going to like him today.

They took a taxi, cause Jonathan wasn't about to bring a girl home on the subway. She sat practically on his lap the whole ride, tongue invading his mouth, teeth biting at his lips. It was hot and amazing and it had been a while since he'd been with a girl that pushed his buttons this well. Luckily for him, the ride didn't last long and the cabbie was rattling off the fare before he knew it.

He pays the guy and pulls her out of the cab and up the stairs to his apartment. He presses her against the door, kissing her while he fumbles to get his key in the lock, "what's your name," he asks as he opens the door, moving her inside.

Lily had said she wanted to learn how to cook, so he'd invited her over to make a Stir Fry. Lily had never used a wok before but took to it rather well. She was really good at making rice but they'd both made kind of a mess making the spring rolls.

After dinner had been eaten and the kitchen cleaned, they decided to sit down and see what was on T.V. Jonathan had flipped through the paper to the section that showed what was on and according to it Jaws had just started. He put it on and sat down, smiling at Lily.

"If we had cookies this would be like the old days with the sleepovers and LIFE games," he says to her.

( Brothers and Lily... more Brothers than Lily )

and the real GIP is of course me!

Jonathan hasn't had the opportunity to set up his office at Brookhaven so he'll be seeing Tara at his home again. He makes sure the apartment is clean and then makes some tea. He's really excited, been waiting for this all week.

“Hey, sorry everyone - I decided to rerecord my message after hearing everyone else's posts, because they're all better than mine. So here goes again. Hi everyone, I just wanted to take a moment to remind everyone who hasn't to please apply for a place to live. I'll be including a link to that in this post. I also just wanted to take a moment to say hello and let everyone know what Jon <i>really</i> sounds like. I want to thank everyone who has kind of grabbed onto the idea of the voicepost challenge, and I want to thank Anita for coming up with the name 'Fandom Tropolis 2006', and also to Anita for calling international, and thanks to Tara for calling international, and everyone else who called internationally! Thank you, and I hope that everyone posts their voiceposts tomorrow. I can't wait to hear them! Please continue with your regularly scheduled roleplaying. Bye!” Transcribed by: brambless

Where to Apply for a place to live

Just wanted to say hello to everyone!

Mr. Crane,

After reviewing your references and interview Dr. Chilton and the other NPC heads of staff at Brookhaven would be more than happy for you to serve as an intern here. Please arrive on Monday morning and we'll work out a schedule for you.

Congratulations and welcome to the Brookhaven Medical Staff.

Sincerely,
Dr. Chilton

It was the second time he'd vaccumed. He wasn't really sure it was physically possible for his apartment to get any cleaner. He needlessly straightens the bokkshelves in the main room, waiting for Tara to arrive. He kind of really didn't want her thinking he was dirty or anything.

((Jonathan's apartment is kind of a three room affair, with the living area and kitchen being essentially in the same room (the sink and some counter space have a completely open view out into the living room. The living room has bookshelves on two walls, long bookshelves and all the books have clearly been read. Jon's bedroom is off the living area and the bathroom has a door leading into it from Jon's bedroom and the living area.))

Early on Thursday morning, a moving truck arrives outside Jonathan's door. Inside are all the things he could afford to have sent to Fandom Tropolis. He's lucky even this much has come along. So much was left behind in that mausoleum and Jonathan's actually starting to think 'good riddance'. This is his place, something he was going to keep on his own. After all he'd met up with the Mayor and she'd assisted him in his pursuit of the internship at Brookhaven.

Not only that, but he'd met up with Tara and arranged to continue their counseling.

From a personal standpoint, Lex Luthor himself had expressed an interest in an evening with Jonathan. He'd also met a man, Bruce Gordon, that he's almost certain he knows him somehow

And possibly most important of all, Mr. Crowley was in Fandom Tropolis. He hadn't had an opportunity to speak with him, but he knows Mr. Crowley will be proud of him, when he finds out about what Jonathan had been up to.

She wasn't exactly hard to find, no many St. Clair's in the book, and only one Medusa. He waited until he was sure she'd be home before calling her.

*Ring*

At 6 AM on December 24th Jonathan steps out of the taxi (the last he'll be able to afford for a while) and looks up at his new apartment. Student housing, and not like the kind he had back at Fandom High, this was student housing in the real world, and his year of maid service and easily accesible cash was clearly over.

He trudges up the stairs and unlocks the door to his new home. Not exactly furnished, he thinks, taking in the single god awful couch, television set and bed. The bed would have to be replaced. Luckily, his things should be here from Gotham within the week. For now though? He needs food, because he is seriously hungry.

A quick trip down to the NPC bodega on the corner and he's got some basic kitchen items and a cheap tiny little fiber optic christmas tree. He pors himself a bowl of cereal and turns on the TV. The news has something baout Santa stealing Christmas and Jonathan just shakes his head, clearly all things Fandom are meant to break his brain.

Last year he was at Fandom High, last year he was telling his friends he'd see them again someday and now here he is, with his empty cereal bowl, empty apartment, and garrishly lit fake tree. It makes him think Fandom High was nothing more than a memory, or a very nice dream he had once. It doesn't seem real, not now.

Merry Christmas to him.

Fuck this mopey shit, he needed to find Duce, that would get some Christmas cheer in him... and by Christmas cheer, he meant hard alcohol.

((yes, ladie's and gentleman, childeren of all ages, Jonathan Crane is now officially in Fandom Tropolis. The cheering can now commence.)

On Wednesday afternoon, Jonathan receives a letter. In frail script, it reads

Jonathan,

I hope this letter finds you well. I trust you to be studying hard seeing as your finals imminent. I would also inquire as to how Science Club and your Junior Achievers Club is faring but unfortunately, it doesn't really matter. I've recently received news that my condition has worsened. My doctors say I have maybe a year to live. I would like to spend that year with you, my grandson and have as such, hired a nursing staff to provide me with home care. You will be coming home at the end of term and it's unlikely you will be returning until sometime next year. I look forward to seeing you.

Cordially,
Dorthea Elizabeth Crane


After reading it Jonathan crumples the letter in his hand and throws it away. He isn't happy, for the first time he has friends and now he has to leave them behind to hold the old bag's hand while she dies? I don't think so.

It's been real party people but after the semester is over I shall be leaving the hallowed halls of Fandom High, never to be heard from again. My thanks to everyone I ever interacted with; I'll miss you all. I for one will definately miss the fun we all had together.

Don't do anything I wouldn't do and remember to Just Say No to THC.

Jonathan arrives home Sunday evening kind of wiped. It had been a busy weekend but he was kind of happy to be back in his own bed. He hadn't had a look around the dorms yet. He figures if they weren't burned down over break, Fandom High is ahead.

He pulls out the gifts he bought Mr. Crowley and Mr. Phale and takes all of the casino paraphenalia he had stolen with Anakin for Logan and puts it on his dresser. He'll hand all of it out tommorrow.

I too wish to send out Holiday Cards for all of you lovely people here at Fandom High.

So, leave your name, address and whether you have objections to any specific type of card and I'll send you one. *smile*

Jonathan is in his room, pissed about the new Psych teacher but otherwise in a relatively good mood.

He's gonna get that Calendar woman though! snap her neck Angelus style!


(( ___lily_evans_? this is your thread))

After reading the email that the new Psych professor sent out, Jonathan decided that he hated Jeny Calendar. Hated her fully and unreservedly. He'd show her Shiny, fluffy, happy, goodness.


So much for his most favorite clas EVER.

Jonathan stays in his room, laying low like Bel suggested. He hears the news on the radio and then Dean Bristow's announcement.

That's it he thinks to himself, game over. He'd made a promise to Angelus, and he intended to keep it, but it was a bright new world and Jonathan had some bases to cover before he could hope to help Angelus.

He needed some help himself.

So, I visited Mr. Crowley last night and I might have done something bad. I don't know if I did, I mean, Angelus, he doesn't own me does he? I mean, he owns Bel and I know my grandmother didn't give me away so he doesn't.

But, Angelus said I was supposed to clear things with him and I haven't. I could have last night in the common room but I didn't. We talked about Martin Blank and a couple of other things, but I didn't mention Mr. Crowley, not once. Am I betraying Angelus? He was my first friend ever and i can't imagine where I'd be without him. Maybe he wouldn't mind but shouldn't I at least ask?

But what if it's to late? What if the damage is done and if I tell Angelus he'll, disown me or whatever? He doesn't strike me as the forgiving type hence my never mentioning being an Episcapalian.


I think Crowley wants me to belong to him. I can't be sure, and I can't ask but it seems the most likely thing for him to be asking for. Is it really like in Faust? Will he steal my soul, make me sign a contract in blood? I'm not sure, but... he's so good to me. Not just the gift from a few nights ago, everything about him is wonderful and so is the way he treats me. He treats me like I'm smart and interesting and precious. I like feeling this way.

I'm not sure if everyone heard me squee like a great squeey thing (I got a few calls from China asking if I'd please keep the noise down) but in her unbelievable coolness, ___lily_evans_ has gifted me with 100 user icons!Q!QQQQ!!

Who rules? She rules.

As a result of this, I've been trolling teh LJ comms looking for icons of Cillian Murphy, as 100 icons is daunting even for me to PhotoShop. The things I've learned?

1) Every Cillian Murphy fan on LJ has better Google-fu than I, for they found pictures I'd never seen before. There are pictures of Cillian Murphy somewhere people! And not the same 3 shots from Batman, 1 shot from 28 Days Later and obligatory shots of him being deeply creepy with some random chick in Red Eye.

2)In over half of these pictures that I have yet to find... Cillian is in drag. I mean full on, wigs, make-up, dress, etc.

3) Cillian looks fabulous as a woman. F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S. I am jealous at how good he looks wearing women's clothes.

After an evening at the hotel with Crowley, Jonathan is the most fantastic mood ever. Nothing can get him down, not even his super-lame 'dude! I just laid there and got punched, I so wasn't fighting' Detention on Saturday.

He has to hurry back to school to serve it in the morning, seeing as he had fallen asleep in the Presidential Suite of the Arms.

Whistling, he heads in to serve detention.



((P.S. I broke down and bought a paid account *shakes head at self* I'm weak, what can I say))

Okay, I feel like I'm going to regret this but I'm doing it anyway.

Anyone who's part of the JA Fashion Show who is from a fandom where it's highly unlikely you ever wore leather in canon and would like to actually have your character in leather, sign up here.

I repeat, if you wore leather in Canon, don't sign up, I'm going to be really busy and likely won't have time.

Please leave your character's name, their fandom and the actress/actor that played them in the comments. You can leave a suggestion of how you'd like them to look, but unless the stars align in the perfect way it's unlikely you'll be getting it. Also, links to any pictures you really think would work is fine with me.

Cheers!


P.S. Regardless of Rory-mun signing up I'm Photoshopping her into Leather, can anyone help me out and say who playes her?

( I so didn't spend like half an hour Photoshopping Jonathan into girls leather pants, no I didn't. Except that's a total lie! )

Why anybody thought I should have photoshop is beyond me.


((ETA: possibly NWS, sort of))

ZOMG! WHERE IS TODAY"S STUDY HALL POST!!!!!!11!eleventy!?

Sawyer please don't do anything until I get back at 2:00 PST!!!!!!

Shortly after waking up Draco and Jonathan have a conversation.



((placeholder for convo, Draco? paging Draco Malfoy? I'll be on 9:00ish PST))

So, Jonathan had a little chat with Crowley Monday night. Now, he won't be acting unbelievably evil, but he's going to be a lot more conceited than usual. More likely to say what's on his mind and so on. I wanted to let everyone know.

I'm not going to have this last long, just a little callousness here and there. Things he'll have to apologize for, but nothing to drastic. If you really want him to behave while interacting with you, let me know.

for those of you in the know, laugh. For those of you uncool enough not to be, salivate in lust:

I am eating an egg-white spinach omelette and toast. It's buttery.

Who's house?

Jonathan had left this voicemail for Draco, before heading towards theior room: "Draco, it's Jonathan. I think the emo around here is about to kill us, how about you and I go out and scare up a little of our kind of fun? You pick the place."

Now it was time to see if Draco would take him up on the offer, they had a few things to talk about after all.


ETA:(( yes, I shamefully stole this from Angelus-mun, sue me))

( for those of you that didn't get enough of an eyeful in the OOC comm )


I am the Winner!

Fresh out of the shower Jonathan is sitting in his room. He looks kind of nervous but it could be just your imagination. He's by himself, maybe waiting for Draco, maybe not.

He could use some toast.

((door is open if you want to come in))

Saturday morning finds Jonathan waking up in room 329 staring at Draco and Lily from across the room.

I can't believe he hasn't sealed the deal yet. What is he waiting for? And he calls himself evil

Before getting up and heading for the common room to make Sydney breakfast. He hopes Sydney like waffles.

Am going out STOP.

trying this thing called 'Real Life' STOP.

Will let you know how it goes STOP.
