Why do you ask?

Filter

[versusnurture]

I'm curious. [Which is code for she's making a spreadsheet, frankly. It says a lot about a person if they think they're crazy.]

[theantiaya]

Colloquially, there appear to be a variety of subjective options regarding what entails true insanity beyond the textbook definition.

Elaborate.

Inmate Filter

[versusnurture]

By the popular standard of where you're from. Or your own, if you have a unique one.

[yeahscience]

I need a deal.

[versusnurture]

That's it?

[filter; inmates]

[halftheman]

[ He hunted. ]

You already know my answer.

[versusnurture]

I do. It's probably the most helpful one I've gotten so far.

[filter; inmates-turned-warden, audio only]

[megamind]

I have a deal I want.

And... because not everybody here is a complete loss, and deserve the hand up to being more if they want it.

I don't think we've met, Miss?

[versusnurture]

That's a pretty idealistic viewpoint, although I guess not as idealistic as some.

Abigail. Hobbs. Nice to meet you.

[worksbetterinthepast]

I don't think so but doesn't mean I'm not. Especially if all this turns out to be in my head.

[versusnurture]

Why do you think it's in your head?

inmates

[youwillgotohell]

You really think you'll get true answers? [She sure as hell isn't admitting it 8(]

[versusnurture]

Definitely not all of them. Probably not most of them. But some, yes.

inmates

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

Do you?

[versusnurture]

No, I don't. [She sounds like maybe she's smiling.] That's not one of my particular problems.

[youwill]

Collecting data?

[Private]

[versusnurture]

Of course. Aren't you?

Filter

[godsays]

I am.

[versusnurture]

You are.

[The first plain and simple yes.]

How do you know?

inmates-turned-wardens

[lastrat]

Why do you want to know?

[versusnurture]

Because it doesn't make sense to me. I'm a kid with no powers and not much experience. Knowledge is something I can get, though. Understanding.

inmates

[persecutioncomplex]

I already know everyone thinks I am.

[versusnurture]

I didn't ask what they think. I asked what you think.

voice

[fire_punk]

Insane? Of course not. Why?

[versusnurture]

Why of course not? Is it totally outside the realm of possibility?

former inmates

[surrenders]

I'd gone home, there wasn't anything worth going back to. Everybody I had was here.

Didn't know what kind of life I wanted if I left.

[versusnurture]

You couldn't have gone to some other world and tried there?

Former inmate

[with_my_teacup]

The pay packet.

[versusnurture]

Your deal, you mean. It seems impossible.

[fridgetothefire]

Junko was. Completely, stark raving topsy-turvey psychopathic.

[Anya is one part bitter and two parts fond.]

You just missed her, I'm afraid.

[versusnurture]

I'm sorry to hear that.

[She actually kind of is.]

But you're not?

[forgetyourusedtobe]

Now there's a stupid question. I'm pretty sure crazy people don't think they're crazy.

[versusnurture]

Some of them do. One of them just proved to me pretty soundly that he does, and is. And sometimes sane people think they're crazy, just like crazy people think they're sane.

Inmates

[darknessb4me]

Of course I'm insane. No rational person would behave like this.

[versusnurture]

Like what? Sorry, I don't think we've met, so I don't know much about the crazy things you've done.

[Arthas come on there is not a Barge bulletin on your shenanigans.]

Private

[obviouslydefective]

A psychiatrist in a mental institution is doing his morning rounds and finishes up at a room shared by two patients, Bob and Steve. He finds Bob calmly painting a beautiful picture of a still life, and he's terribly impressed by his progress. Then he looks at Steve. Steve's hanging upside down from the ceiling.

"So what are the two of you doing?" the psychiatrist asks.

Bob says: "Clearly, I'm painting. But Steve, well, he's completely lost it. He thinks he's a lightbulb."

They both observe Steve for a little while. The psychiatrist notices his face is starting to turn red.

Eventually the psychiatrist asks: "Why haven't you helped him down?"

"That would be insane," Bob says. "How am I supposed to paint in the dark?"

Private

[versusnurture]

[This is why she likes you, Alice. Abigail laughs brightly.]

I ask that question a lot.

You gave the best answer, by the way.

Private;

[insolubleriddle]

What conclusion did you arrive at while in conversation with Dent?

[He knows how Harvey feels about him in that regard.]

Private;

[versusnurture]

I concluded that I should get more information.

[There's a hint of a "duh" in her tone. Why else would she be doing this? Besides the several other reasons she also had for doing this.]

[ukan]

I'm not. But I wonder what definition of insanity you would use.

[versusnurture]

The legal definition is the one that matters in the end.
