Bio: When Janet was little her father was taken away to the same asylum, it hurt her so much. She thought the closet way to be near him was to work there. So she decided when she was older she would work there. She went through her college years and directly went here. She has worked here for three years and she is now really close to her father, she finally feels like shes at home. She is extremely nice and will help anyone. She always stays after her shift and never really leaves the asylum, she has her own room in the asylum.

Cool, a nurse. Accepted.

Hey if we get like 2 more people we can start, I know not to many people will join.

Ok, we can start now.

I looked out the small bared window that was on my room door. "HEY DON'T YOU KNOW WHEN TO GIVE THE FOOD AROUND HERE?!?" I yelled. Surrounding patients agreed yelling and kicking there doors. I smirked in reply putting my head proudly in the air. The nurse who came in had a disagreeing expression. She walked near me, but not to close, I was still dangerous. "Scarlett! That is enough! Now calm down & ill get you your food, and medicine." I made a face at her as she left. I walked over to my broken old bed. I sat down waiting. I looked at the chain wrapped around my foot. It insured that I wouldn't get away. I may have killed a few nurses, and a docter to get this punishment. I could see Dave, my friend leaving. Great, he gets to leave, I guess he got over whatever happened to him. I sighed and waited for my dinner.

"Janet, please bring Scarlett her food & medicine!" Diana a fellow nurse yelled as she walked away her head hung low and her hands hiding her face. "Fine Diana. She's not bad she just-" "SHE WAS A CANNIBAL! She has been here for only a week and she already killed 5 people!" She screamed. "Diana listen to me!" The blonde nurse stomped her foot hard on the marble. "She only killed 1 of the nurses, the rest were injured." Diana stared at her then walked out. "What rubbish that comes out of her mouth." Janet whispered laughing to herself. She grabbed a tray with fruits & a salad, no meats. Scarlett was not allowed to have ANY type of meat. She grabbed a glass of water with a pill on the side it. She walked to Scarlett's room opening the door. "Sit & Stay!" Janett stomped her foot giving her the tray. She locked up the door walking back to the kitchen.

Fern bounced around the room, she knew a fellow was leaving today. could she leave, too? she knew she wouldn't, not unless there was a miracle. and she knew with her luck, there wouldn't be one. then a nurse walked in and set down a tray. Fern smiled. "thank you." she said politely, the nurses knew Fern wouldn't harm them so they were fine with walking in and saying hello to Fern. "hey" the nurse said, leaving the room. Fern got up and examined the plate. some strawberry's a small salad and some chicken. she quietly ate and tended to her matted hair. after, she looked out to see the guy leave. Fern didn't know him but she cheered for him. she just wished she could get out too. "if only," she whispered to herself

Good morning. I would like to apply for the position of night nurse. My name is Agnus. Agnus Crumplebottom. I may be past my prime, but I am a large, strong woman. My hair is kept in a tight bun, a proper look for a proper lady. Wear glasses, and heavy shoes; and never wear trousers.

Recently dismissed from my last live-in position, I applied for a room in a boarding house near here, but as no one replied I must assume I was rejected. I do need to live on-site, and I hope lodgings and meals are available.

I must say the tour was...interesting. It seems this is a high-security institution for the dangerously insane. Rather barbaric ways to treat mental patients, but I can see there is not a big budget for more modern confinement. Patient Mathieu seems especially delusional, considering where he IS. I am curious to see his files; I suspect that beneath that "poor mistreated boy" story is something darker. Could he have murdered his cruel mother? On the other hand, being in a place like this is enough to MAKE a sane person go mad! I should know...

"Let....me...go! You have no right to keep me here!"

It was like talking to a fence post. Neither orderly was paying attention to my words and even less attention to the damage they were doing to my fair skin. It wasn't as if I could see much. My long, glossy black hair had long since unraveled from its braid and was now hanging dull and tangled in front of my face. No one cared to brush it back and, of course, my hands were tightly confined behind my back causing my slender form to twist painfully to try and ease the ache between my shoulder blades.

"Name?" I was able to peer through the mess that was my hair at some nurse who looked like she fell straight out of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest.

"Cinderella," I answered sarcastically my stormy grey eyes flashing brightly. Nurse Ratched merely pursed her lips together and raised an eyebrow at my escorts.

"Secresa Gustav, Age 19." The puppet men answered dutifully. "Suicidal ideation, paranoid delusions."

"That is a load of crap! There is nothing wrong with me other than no one has dropped a house on my step-mother!" I knew it was pointless to protest my sanity, but I was not going to go down without a fight. "I am not crazy!"

"Maybe not," my new warden said with a patronizing smile. "Then again, I really don't care."

(Your both good.)
I looked at my dinner. I wanted to sucked the blood out of that woman! But she believed me! She believed me! I looked down at my plate picking at some of it. I ate all the fruit and some salad. I gulped down my pill and water. I sat on my bed thinking. The pill calmed me down. "Janet if shes unstable I will kill you!" She heard Diana the rude nurse. "What a surprise." I laughed madly. Diana walked into my room with a white jacket. "DONT YOU DARE!" I flung myself at her biting into her arm like a tiger. Draining her blood. It was so bitter. But blood was blood. She pushed me off ran out and locked my door. Janet later passed by my room with a smile and a wink.

Fern heard the nurses yelling outside the door. and that scared her. she hid under the little bed and covered her ears. she tried to think of stuff to make the sound go away. "no,no,no,no,no!!" she was chanting that the entire time. then they stopped. she relaxed and came out from under the bed. she decided to play a game she often played with herself. she pretended she was back at home with her real family. mom and dad, she had a little sister named Katie , too. she just wished that was real. but, this was as close as she could get, pretend. during the game, she fell asleep on the floor. the hard, cold, dirty floor. that she wished she never had known.

I'm looking for someone in charge, and the few locked doors are not hard to open...I can hear the young French boy, Arthur, screaming and talking - to no one. Poor boy, I hope I can gain his trust. I'm sure if he can accept me as a mother-figure I can help him work through his fear pain. Fern is a puzzle; she looks like she could be pretty, but her matted hair and wild red eyes are frightening. I wonder if she is dangerous. Well I guess they ALL are SUPPOSED to be dangerous; but goodness, they are so young!

Scarlett is supposed to be a killer - who eats people! She looks it. But still, chained to a wall!? I will try to slip some tranquilizers into her meds - she takes so many, she'll never notice. It's for her own good; I'm going to sneak into her cell - I mean ROOM - and remove her shackle.

fern awoke, seeing she had slept on the floor. it was still night-time and almost everyone else was asleep, everyone but Fern and the night nurse. so fern decided to try and be quiet- not too quiet, the nurse's don't like silence, accept the night nurse. but Fern want's the nurse to know she's awake. so she decided to play a different game, she's a cat who want's owners, but nobody likes her. so she makes noise here and there but not enough to make anyone wake up, she hopes. after awhile the nurses trade shifts and Fern get's ready for Breakfast

((sorry, forgot about this rp))
Kay slowly opened the door and peeked outside for any nurse. Nope, none. She sneaked out of the room and walked down the hall to find the belongings that had been taken away from her just weeks before. They took the only piece of her mother and father she had left. Knife in her pocket (which she hid so well during inspection that it was never found), she watched for any movement. She touched the knife slowly. Today would be a good day.

Night nurse Crumplebottom here: I heard the Lovegood girl making little mewing noises toward morning, and wondered what she was doing (being a kitten? calling something so she could pounce?). As I checked out, I noticed a door open that was supposed to be locked: the locker for Bystrow was open - the little nutso has taken her things that we store. I told the other nurse, Janet, to watch out for her, and headed to my quarters for a shower and bed. Maybe later today I can get to know Janet, and see what "insider" info she can give me.

I looked around the darkened hall peeking threw my precious window. I walked towards my bed laying down. I looked up at the ceiling hearing the cursed shackle that kept me in here. I curled up in my blankets, the foot that had the shackle near my chest. I closed my eyes pretending to sleep, but trying to get this shackle off and sneek out. I don't want to be here any longer. I realized it was a lost cause and looked at my floor, a print of blood from Diana was left there, I got up and placed a finger in the blood, tasting it again, I savored the flavor. She was O+. Delicious.

Janet turned out the lights in B503 the unit for the criminally insane. I could hear Scarlett in her room, still acting crazy. 'Even though I lead Diana into a trap i'm not supposed to care, right?' Janet thought to herself as she made her way to the medical room for B503. She locked up all the cabinets, each had a different name on them, Scarlett's full of medicine. Janet unlocked Dave Tomas' cabinet taking out all the medicine pills, and syrups. She placed them in some of the other patients cabinets, they would need it now too. She had nicer things in her room. Saying that all the patients had was a small bed, with a blanket and a pillow. Maybe a table with papers and crayons. Pencils were not allowed, they were 'dangerous'. She changed into her PJ's and went to lay down on her bed. She rested her head on the pillow and quickly fell asleep, not wanting to know what could happen tomorrow.

it was breakfast time and Fern knew it. she could hear the footsteps in the hall, stopping and giving food to the other Patients. finnaly , the nurse got to her door. she gave Fern her food and with out a single word she was at the next room. but Fern didn't mind, the nurses were very busy. so she examined the plate. applesauce, oranges, some eggs and a piece of bread. Fern ate then began to play "kitty" again, wishing someone would play with her. but the other patients couldn't come out of their cells and the nurses were too busy. so all day, she played games all by herself accept when lunch and dinner were server. then it was bed time, and she settled into bed.

I snuck tranquilizers to Scarlett, but I guess she has gotten used to drugs like that because every time I peeked in to see if she was out, she was pacing around or lying on her cot. I noticed blood around her shackle, but no way was I going to try to remove it with her conscious!
Janet and I keep missing each other - I still want to talk to her.
This morning as I did a last cell-check I heard poor little Fern making cat noises again. I stopped by her door and (not wanting to startle her) whispered: "Kitty, kitty. There's a nice kitty". I miss my own cat, she used to sleep at the foot of my bed. Maybe if I put a collar on Fern I could make HER curl up on my bed and purr! Or, did I say that out loud? Good thing no one heard me...

I got up waiting for one of the nurses to bring me breakfast, was it going to be Janet? Or the new girl? I sat down on my bed hunger taking over anger. Then I kept thinking about my first day here, Janet was not one to think I was crazy, because I wasn't. For gods sake I should be in jail then an asylum! I'm not crazy! I'm I? "JANET! JANET! JANET!?!" I yelled getting fussy. I fixed my hair and curled my knees up to my chest rocking slowly back and fourth. I looked at the patch of dried blood, no one wanted to clean that up. The only person I wouldn't kill is Janet, I let her clean the bed and maybe wash the floor if blood gets spilled, she drops off my food and once in a while a 'snack'. I crawled to the corner of my bed waiting. I could only be tamed by someone who knew what they were doing.

"Just a minute!" Janet unlocked Scarlett's cabinet getting her meds placing them next to her glass of water. She grabbed some fresh peaches and a normal salad. She began walking to B503 turning on the hall lights. She walked down to Scarlett's room unlocking her door. She walked in and placed the tray on her side table. "There are a few more pills for what happened yesterday, you will be knocked out for the rest of the day and won't wake up until tomorrow. The doctors are naming you as 'Hostile' and if anything like that happens again you will be knocked out again." Janet closed the door locking it, she grabbed a cloth placing it over her barred window. It assured pure solitude. Janet pushed the cart towards the other patients making sure they had there food and meds. As soon as she finished her daily job for the B503 patients she walked out locking the door to the hall. She left the key on a little hanger, that had labels for each patient's room. She pushed the tray back to the kitchen to get more food for other less hostile patients, of course she didn't know all there names but she worked in two halls, B503 and R339.

Janet finished treating to the other patients and made her way to get coffee in the nurse's/Doctor's lounge. She sat down at one of the nice couches that was in the room silently sipping her coffee.

Fern awoke to screaming. she didn't like it at all. she crawled under her bed and covered her ears. she wanted to scream, too. but the nurse were busy with the other Patient. so Fern stayed under her bed. she noticed the food in her room after she crawled out from under the bed. same as yesterday. after she ate she walked up to her door and yelled to any nurse who could hear her. "I WANT TO DRAW. PLEASEE! I WANT TO DRAW!!!" a nurse walked in with some paper and crayons and Fern spent most of the day drawing. a nurse gave her some tape and Fern tapped her drawings up on the wall above her bed. then she played cat. she wound up falling asleep right next to her room door.

I gave drawing stuff to Fern. I tried to pet her head but she withdrew in horror. Oh, well, a small step at a time. I headed for the break room, smelling fresh coffee. I finally found the other "nurse". She seems qualified, if a bit stiff.

I looked down at my medicine, not wanting to take it, but I would be forced if I didn't want the easy way. Janet was told that! I bet it! She wouldn't do this, would she? She was a nurse and I had to respect her. I finished my meal quickly then I layed down in my bed for a moment before taking my pills. I didn't want to pass out on the floor now did I? I took the pills in quickly then taking a few sips of my water. I flipped my light switch of, they placed it near my bed so if I woke up at night or something I could see. I closed my eyes seeing that I soon fell asleep.

Fern a\woke up once again on the floor. "i hate this stupid hard floor. it HURTS!" she screamed this to herself no one would really answer but she heard someone else call: "yeah i hate it too, so what?" Fern decided to just keep quiet and sit on her bed. the nurse that tried to pat her on the head yesterday came in and set down Fern's food. Fern looked at her cowardly and the nurse walked over, gently patted her head and left. Fern was suprised she let the nurse touch her. Fern almost never let anyone touch her. unless she new them. she guessed she new the nurse good enough. but still, she hardly knew her and the nurse got to pat her on the head. Fern ignored it and began to play family. she thought about the nurse all day. she couldn't stop thinking about it. it was , wired.

When pitiful little Fern let me touch her yesterday I was surprised. It wasn't exactly a break through, but maybe it's a start. I dream about washing her long matted hair, combing it, maybe braiding flowers into it. I used to love to brush my daughter's long dark hair; she's gone now. I still miss her like hell. But I don't know Fern well enough to know what might get through to her. Bring her a flower? A stuffed toy? A blanket. I knit afghans, but don't have anyone to give them to. I think I'll bring some in from storage and ask Nurse Janet what she thinks. I tried to get her to talk to me about the patients, but she was pretty tight. Maybe she doesn't know much, but I think she's got the attitude that a professional doesn't get emotionally involved. Still, maybe Fern would like a soft pink and yellow blanket. Scarlett doesn't seem the type to like something like that; she would probably be happy with a dead rat .Or haha a live one she could tease and bite.

Janet walked down the hall back to Scarlett's room. She opened the door seeing as Scarlett took her medicine. She took the tray taking it to the kitchen to be washed. She grabbed a small case of medicine. Which was for Fern. Janet was told to only calm her down a bit. Just give her a simple sedative. She poured a small amount of water into a paper cup and held one pill in her hand. She walked to Fern's room opening the door. "Hello Fern. This is a sedative for you. The other patients are bothered by your game of cat." Janet said putting the cup and the pill on her table. Janet walked out locking the door. Luckily Fern wasn't as bad as her other patients. She was put in B503 and went under strict care by 2 to 3 nurses. She wasn't as criminally insane as everyone else in the hall but was just at the level to be put in. Janet made her way out of the hall, closing the door. She walked towards the lounge needing some water and a snack. Today she didn't have to put up with Scarlett's ranting. Her screaming. She had most of her day to herself, but still stayed here. She could leave as she pleased but had to come back at 9:00 PM to check on her patients before she ended her shift. She sat down at one of the chairs sipping her water and reading. She saw the newest nurse Agnes in the room. She was a nurse that was to help her in B503 and she of course had another hall opposite from hers. "Hello. Your the new nurse right? Agnes is it?" Janet put her book and water down and put her hand out for a shake.

As I shook Janet's hand, I was happy to finally get a chance to talk to her. "Yes, I'm the new nurse. But, you know, I'm not really a nurse; I'm just a care-giver. I don't have a degree, but I have lots of experience in this sort of place." I kept to myself that I had spent time on the OTHER side of the locked doors.
"I'm hoping you can tell me more about our patients. Is Scarlett really so violent? She's so young! And Fern, I want to believe she really doesn't belong here. She seems genuinely wounded, hiding and mewing, just like a frightened animal. But I know people that have tried to "pet the nice bear" and had their heads taken off..."

She sort of reminds me of the French boy, Arthur? The ward supervisor, Diana, told me he is on a hunger strike. She seems like a real b... I mean she's um stern. I told her his light had gone out but I didn't think I should go in his room alone. But she just laughed "Don't worry about it. He needs to learn who's in charge here!" Well, I think that's just WRONG.
Will you go with me to fix his light? And what about his not eating? We can't just ignore that!
Lets see: Scarlett, Kaylie, Arthur, Fern, isn't there one more on the ward?

Fern looked at the medicine. she was mad. didn't the others know it was a game? she started to kick the walls and silently scream because she didn't want the nurses her. after awhile her feet ached. so she took her medicine and began to mumble to herself. she wasn't crazily mumbling, but angrily mumbling. then she fell asleep. the nurse from the last few night set her tray for dinner down. the nurse noticed fern was asleep and got a good look at her. then she left, examining the drawings on fern's wall. at around midnight Fern woke up. she noticed the tray still in her room and she got up and ate. there was a small note hidden on the tray and fern found it. it listed items. she decided to check the things she liked. "stuffed animal, flowers." and she added an extra one. " and, if some one could somehow get this, a mom." after, she quietly walked back to her bed and slept happily.

"Scarlett well she is... Hostile. Today she was knocked out till tomorrow. Fern, well I don't know much about her she likes to play cat and it bothers people. She is given sedatives just like everyone else." Janet got up getting her private key to her ward. "Yes there are a few more but there unimportant. They just take sedatives and leave the place rather quickly." They walked down into the basement, reaching a box, they opened it and found Arthur's light switch. Someone turned it off. Janet flipped the switch back on and heard Arthur a bit happier then when his light shut off. They walked back upstairs to chat a little. "Scarlett's hard to tame, you have to be stern with her if you don't want to be hurt. Then she'll let you in without a care. Fern is 'criminally insane' that's what the doctors said."

Attendant Crumplebottom Log: I've decided to keep a log, as I seem to be confused and forgetful lately. I hope it's not my old "illness" coming back. Janet still won't (can't?) tell me much. I've been trying to contact the administrators about the conditions here, especially considering the isolation and confinement of some of the patients. But I'm not a phyciatrist, so I don't imagine they'll pay any attention to ME.
Last night I went into Fern's room (I think she was asleep). I saw that she had drawn some pictures with the supplies I had given everyone. Arthur had crammed a crayon in his ear and stuffed paper in his mouth; Kaylie had tried to stab the other nurse with a crayon. So I got in trouble for "supplying them with dangerous objects". Crap. But Fern had actually drawn pictures, and stuck them on her wall. They looked like they were done by a 3year old; all splotches and squiggles. I couldn't tell what she was drawing, maybe just her FEELINGS; they were mostly red and black. Creepy actually.
BUT (good girl!) she saw my note! I have a stuffed kitty to give her...I wonder if I should have removed the button eyes. Babies will chew of button eyes and choke to death. If they find out I gave it to her (even if she doesn't somehow manage to hurt herself with it) I bet I'll get in trouble again. She made a note that she "wanted a mom", poor baby! I wish I could steal her and run away...
NOTE: I have been assigned suicide watch for Secresa, so for the next week I won't be on the "Children's Ward" where most of the other kids are. At least I don't have to deal with the adult male population.

Fern woke up and saw nurse Janet unlocking her door. (before Angus came Janet was Fern's nurse)"hello, nurse." Fern said "hi." Janet said as she left. Fern ate and settled back into bed. she knew Nurse Angus wouldn't be here this week so that made her sad and nobody liked it when she played. she fell asleep and began to cry in her sleep. nurses were in her room and woke her up. "what's wrong?" asked Janet. "uh, nothing." Fern said, verry frightened. "okay well, take this, eat and then go back to sleep." Janet instructed. "okay." Fern said as the nurses left. so she did as she was told and slept the rest of the day and night.

Crumplebotton: just time to drop by and leave a note for Janet:
I'm hearing rumors: that nurse Diana (who was only mentioned once) is not longer allowed on this ward. Know anything about this?
And about our patients -Has Secresa been transferred somewhere else? I can't imagine she was RELEASED, she sounded really dangerous. I hope to be back soon. Do you think I should give Fern a stuffed toy?

Nurse Janet came in with breakfast , its always the same but Fern didn't mind. she quietly ate and played a game in her mind. she was a princess riding her horse through a forest. soon Nurse Janet came into Ferns room with lunch and Fern ate. she wanted to draw again but she kept quiet. she came to the conclusion that nobody liked noise, not even a little, so she tried to keep quiet. she just sat down looking at her drawings. she realized they looked like a baby could have drawn them. she never was good at art and she couldn't draw during her lifetime, but that was just pathetic. she got up and took them down, Neatly placing them in a stack by her door. she sat down and thought of stuff she could draw , hopefully better. she thought of models and princesses, but she knew she couldn't draw them. at dinner when Nurse Janet dropped by food Fern asked if she could have some drawing supplies and Janet said no. Fern sadly sat down and ate as Nurse Janet gave dinner to the others. Fern knew Nurse Janet didn't want to loose her job. so Fern just crawled into bed and slept.

I locked the door to the final room and left to check on Scarlett. She was still asleep but about to fall onto the floor. I fixed her pose so she wouldn't be on the floor the next morning. I left back to my room finding a note from Angus. I read the note getting myself a piece of paper.
Angus:
I haven't an idea about what may have left Diana to care for patients on a different ward. It might have been Scarlett.
As for Secresa she had recently come to the asylum. The head of the place is thinking of which ward she will be put into. She will be taken to her room tomorrow. Also if you may just check on Scarlett before you go to bed that would be nice. Don't worry she should be asleep, just leave some water and make sure shes not falling off her bed.
-Janet

I folded up the letter and left it on Angus' bed. Fern, the kitty wanted to draw. I didn't allow her earlier, but since she was quiet I decided to bring her crayons and paper. I placed them on her desk and went back to my room to sleep.

when Fern woke up, and noticed drawing supplies on her small desk. she went and tried to draw something good. she drew pretty good tree and a stick person with long hair. it was a start, at least. after putting it on her wall she ate breakfast. then she sat down on her floor and imagined what she wanted her own family to look like, when she had kids. her, her Hubby, and her two daughters. she thought of good names for the Twin girls. Amy and Ally. she decided girls were all she wanted, just two little girls. so she then played a game in her mind until lunch. then she took a nap.at dinner she wanted to tell Nurse Janet about what she wanted her family to look like. but she didn't because Fern knew Nurse Janet would think she's crazy.

Attendant Crumplebottom here: Assigned to this ward again; came in late last night. Left note for Janet: " Hi Janet, I'm back. Left water for Scarlett as you asked. Don't know how she does it, falling asleep in odd places. She was asleep under her little table, curled up in a ball. I also left a stuffed cat in Fern's room. Noticed she is drawing again; happy to see that instead of the tormented black and red scribbles, she is actually drawing little people. Looks like a child's drawing of their family. Poor thing.

Fern noticed a stuffed cat when she awoke. her eyes grew wide and shone (idk if spelled right) like a star. she ran up to it and grabbed it. "a present, i've never had one before!" Fern said to herself. she was very happy. she thought that one of her nurses had given it to her. possibly nurse Janet, or Nurse Angus. either way, Fern was full of happiness. she ate then played with the stuffed animal. Nurse Janet was sort-of worried by Fern playing with a stuffed animal, but she decided to just let Fern do whatever, as long as it isn't dangerous. Fern played with the animal the rest of the day, not bothering to eat. she loved the stuffed animal too much. then Nurse Angus started her shift and noticed Fern playing with the stuffed animal that she brought Fern. she was happy but decided to wait a little to start to have a conversation with Fern. after all, she still is scared. But Fern said Hello and asked Nurse Angus a question. "do you know who the stuffed animal came from? i love her. i named her Fami." they started to talk and Fern grew to like Nurse Angus. but, soon Fern got tired and said goodnight to nurse
Angus. then she went to bed with Fami. she really did love the Stuffed cat. and who knows, Nurse Angus and Nurse Janet, Fami and her drawings may make her acceptable to society once again.

My, my, little Fern liked her toy. Unfortunately she loved it so much she didn't eat all day. I think Janet was upset about that; I've left her a note that I think it would set back her progress if I just took it while she slept. I will talk to Fern tomorrow. Having something that brings comfort is good, but unless it gives her the courage to try to relate to PEOPLE instead of hiding, it's not really good. And not eating is certainly.

I'm a bit insulted that she calls me "Angus" (like the cow), but telling her my name is Agnus might hurt her delicate feelings.

Fern played with Fami as soon as she awoke. then she saw nurse Agnus. (sorry!) she skipped eating once again. at lunch, she skipped eating as well as dinner. she just played with Fami all day. when Nurse Janet came in right before Fern went to bed and put down a little pill Fern got mad. she didn't take the pill but began to shout "NO! I DON'T WANT TO!" over and over again. Nurse Janet and nurse Agnus cam in and calmed her down and made her take the pill. then Fern went to bed. she was still mad when she awoke and didn't eat she sat in the corner of the room curled up, thinking. she thought all day without eating and the Nurses were worried. Nurse Agnus came in and offered her a little piece of a brownie. Fern ate for the first time in three days. after, Nurse Agnus promised her more if she started to eat. Fern agreed then went to bed.

I noticed Fern was nibbling something brown, when I asked to see it she tried to hide it. It was a dead mouse. I tried to take it and she flew into a rage, saying it was a brownie and I had given it to her! I called Janet to help me restrain her; she was given an injection to calm her, but we did not restrain her (I still feel horrible about having to tie someone to the bed). We agreed it was best to remove the stuffed cat; Fern looks like a bag of bones - a cringing, obsessive, yellowed, weak bag of bones. If she doesn't eat breakfast, we will start force-feeding her, which means restraints and tranquilizers.

Fern awoke on hard, metal bed. she couldn't remember a thing that happened the day before, not that she wanted too though. she looked around and noticed there was a large window and a locked door, nothing else. she wiggled around trying to get free because she was hurting , and she was starving. then she realized something, Fami wasn't at her side and she didn't see her around. Fern began to scream for the stuffed cat. "I WANT FAMI, I WANT MY KITTY!, I WANT FAMI, I WANT MY KITTY!" she screamed and screamed until nurse Janet came in with lunch. "WHERES MY KITTY?" she screamed at nurse Janet "the cat is gone. you can't have it anymore." nurse Janet said sternly "now eat.". but instead, Fern started to cry her heart out. she screamed at the top of her lungs, kicked wiggled and cried. then Nurse Agnus came in and helped hold Fern down while Janet forcibly fed Fern. after the nurses left, Fern began to whimper and sob. "i want Fami, i want Fami." she said. she didn't even go to sleep. she just canted that the entire night.

In the morning Fern seemed calmer; I sat with her, asked if I could brush her hair. "Kitties like to be brushed" I said (and sometimes it calms people). "Can we make a deal? If you will try to eat breakfast, I will bring your Fami back, OK? Here is an egg, and a piece of toast with jelly, and a glass of milk. Kitties like milk too; will you try? Be calm now while I unfasten your arms and legs.."

I hopped she would get better; most of the ward was empty, and two nurses were not needed. She will either go into the adult population in another ward, or to a foster home...like MINE.

Fern had agreed to eat so she could have back Fami. but she had a plan. if she started to act "normal" they would let her go. and she could stop having people tell her what to do. she didn't like that. she had begin to be stubborn. so she ate then she sat down thinking over her plan. then she realized something, she dosen't know HOW to be "normal". that was where the road came to a stop. the big problem. she decided to observe the nurses. they were normal, or she thought so. she started to act like the nurses. eating, sleeping and NOT playing games. that night when she went to sleep, the nurses where impressed on how good she had acted

Scarlet awoke on the floor of her room. "JANET AGNUS!!!!!" She screamed. She didn't like this punishment. She crossed her arms and threw her drinking glass onto the floor making a loud echoing noise flow through the hall. Shrieks grew louder. Scarlet always made a giant fuss and broke a thing or two. She threw her head onto the floor. "I'M HUNGRY¡!!!!!!"

Chart Notes: children's ward. Arthur has been transferred back to this ward. He seems to have had a breakthrough, and is now manageable. When I checked on him he smiled and talked to me. I could not actually understand him, but when he reached for me he seemed calm, so I gave him a little hug. He seems weak, but his chart does NOT say he is tranquilized.

Scarlett has also been returned, but I think that's a mistake! She still seems violent to me, and I won't go into her room unless she has been sedated into near unconsciousness.

I am happy to report that Fern seems to be eating, and be calmer. But there is something odd; almost like she is hiding something, there is just something SNEAKY about her. But she still is special to me; for some reason I love her. But I don't love her behavior, and I don't trust her.

[a little note to the players: I think it works better if you write what YOU do/think/want, but don't write what OTHER people are doing. That way we each get to do what we want, and we are actually INTERACTING with each other.
PS ---Agnus is actually NUTS!]

Asylum Weekly Report:
Since Arthur has been moved to a new ward, one that wouldn't count him as hostile or criminally insane he has 5 more months left to stablize, if he doesn't fulfill this goal he will spend more time in the children's ward, he will not be moved back to B503 he will still have his two same nurses until he is able to leave.
Scarlet has been moved to a less hostile ward as well, but it isn't the children's ward. She had another year or so until she can leave. Currently the only nurse able to stablize her is Janet.
No more new changes for this week.

Agnus's private journal: My living quarters are on the upper floor, and I didn't think any patient rooms were under me, but I'm being kept awake by screams and crying. I don't know where Scarlet is, but I suspect she is the one keeping me awake. Janet tells me she has been assigned as her personal care-taker; fine with ME - the kid gives me the creeps. I guess I have gotten emotionally attached to Fern, which is forbidden. And I've been sneaking her cookies and fruit - which is also forbidden. I have been dreaming of snatching her - "breaking her out" and running away with her. She would be the daughter I lost, I would be her loving mommy. But I'm really feeling sorry for Arthur too. I wonder if they would get along together, or be jealous of sharing "Mommy". And what kind of a life would it be, hiding from the authorities? I could make it sound exciting, like joining the circus.

Fern awoke. she was pretty hungry, but decided she didn't want to eat this day. she wanted to just spend the day thinking and doing whatever else she decided. she thought hard about why she was here how long she had been here and how long she will stay here. she wanted to leave soon, but she'd miss Nurse Agnus. she didn't want to leave her but she didn't want to wake up and see the same thing everyday, her wight room. she would also miss the sounds. like cars rumbling outside, bringing needed items, and the other yelling, the nurses shoes and the opening of doors. the best opening of doors where when someone left. Fern felt happy for them, being able to join people in society. but Fern feard she couldn't, ever. she wan't normal and couldn't really ever be.

(Sorry for being away so long, my computer had to be fixed and I wasn't on for so long that I forgot my password. I had to make another account, but I'll still be keeping up with everything)

News report: Agnus Crumplebottom was arrested today at her place of employment, the Hillsdale Asylum, on suspicion of kidnapping, trespassing, possessing controlled drugs, and theft. Other employees there said they suspected her of breaking into a locked narcotics locker on many occasions. The director of the Asylum had no record of hiring her, and it was determined that she had no credentials to work with disturbed children. A homeless woman known on the streets as "Gramma", she is accused of planning to kidnap at least one child from the hospital. As she was taken into custody the further charge of resisting arrest was added; she was heard to scream "Furn! I love you baby! I can be your REAL momma! And Arthur, you deserve a family!" She admitted to planning to "take them both far away, for their own good".

Janet watched as Agnus left sighing. "She seemed nice at first... but I never knew." She walked off to my duties, helping out with Scarlet who has calmed down... but still was reckless. She soon came to Fern's big white room. She came in the a white jacket. "Fern.. I was told to do this, because of Agnus." She said trying to wrap it around Fern. She only wished Fern didn't struggle so much as so. She screamed and cried. Janet... though destroyed the doll that Agnus gave her. The asylum was cruel and wouldn't allow her to have it anymore. As for Arthur.... He would be leaving soon... even though he hadn't been here to long.

Fern cried when she heard Agnus was arrested. and then nurse Janet took Fami. and then nurse Janet (forgive me if im wrong) came in and put her in what she called a "hug me" jacket. Fern tried all she could to stop nurse Janet but nurse Janet got it on her and Fern screeched and cried even louder than she was before. Fern refused to do anything, she wouldn't even move. the entire time she cried and screeched for nurse Agnus and Fami. nobody could stop her from making so much noise. she didn't sleep either she just sobbbed the entire night and vowed to never move or do anything until Nurse Agnus returned.

Agnus did not know she had been declared "mentally incompetent" and sent to the very asylum she had been "working" at. It had wards for the criminally insane, but her crimes were found to be minor. Mostly she sat on her cot and talked to her hands. Sometimes she sang, and danced with her imaginary children. She especially liked to sing a nursery rhyme: Tiny Thumbalina, tiny little thing, Thumbalina dance, Thumbalina sing. She would brush her daughter's long hair and tell her stories about Paris. She was happy. Until the lights went out and the dreams came, filled with screaming children and sobbing.

"Fern!" Janet yelled walking into the room with baby food. After she didn't eat she was told to be fed, fed anything that was in the fridge, anything soft. Two guards came behind her holding Fern still on her cot. Janet walked up holding a spoon with some food.
She forced Fern to keep it down by holding Fami up. She hadn't destroyed the doll, she kept it so Fern would keep her food down. She kept yelling, kicking and screaming for Fami and Agnus, but now that Agnus was a patient she was to be treated like one rather then a friend, besides Janet didn't make friends with patients since her father was let out of the asylum.
Janet walked out with the two guards locking the door tight behind her giving Fern a stern look as she left.

Fern now had a diet of baby food. she hated it so very much. but they wouldn't let her have anything but baby food. today it was applesacue, that's really all they kept but they would go and get more mainly for her. Nurse Janet didn't like that she had to feed her. infact, nurse Janet didn't like Fern at all, really. Fern had to be the most annoying, stubborn, stupid patient on that ward. But Fern kept the knowledge to herself and tried to scream even louder. she was now a pest, nobody liked her in the ward really. accept some of the patients who ignored her. Fern was sad all the time and screeched as loud as possible, even some of the adults could hear it. she had heard that some of the nurses told nurse Janet to put a muzzle on her.

Janet walked by Arthur's room. "Stop with the yelling, now you can barely speak boy!" Janet yelled at him unlocking and opening his door holding a tray of apple sauce, steak, soda and a chocolate bar. "This is for being good. You know you still have a while in this asylum until you can be free and live a normal life right?" She looked at him. She only hoped he wasn't turning crazy again. She didn't want to have to keep caring over these patients, even though she got herself into this.

Fern had heard the boy screaming. she wasn't quite sure who he was, she thought he might have been called Arthur or Artemis, something like that. she had stopped crying to listen to him. she could't scream or talk at all , her body wouldn't let her, so she couldn't respond. she wanted to get up and say something back , but she couldn't. so she began to bang on the bars in a response, it wasn't very loud because she hadn't been eating good. she'd accept a spoonful or two because of Fami, but when she realized she wouldn't get her , she refused to eat anymore. but she tried to make it as loud as possible. after awhile ,she gave up. she laid down on her floor and curled up. she took a long nap because she was very tired.

Doctor Agnus reporting: Please cancel all my appointments for this week, I will be at my summer home. Um, I seem to be locked in the attack of my summer home. I've tried to stack up the furniture so I can look out the little window, but I fell and the servants got mad at me. I warned them I would fire them if they did not speak to me politely! But they just made faces and left, locking the door. I never got to look outside; I'm sure the grounds and the boat house are as lovely as ever.

Last night I heard someone screaming. A young man, saying I was not alone. I was frightened, but then I felt oddly comforted. Maybe I was dreaming. The service is terrible; I take great pains to write out menus, but their must be a new cook - the food is horrible. Since I am not allowed in the rest of the house, I spend my time writing to people I think I used to know. There was a girl with a garden name - Daisy, or Rose or Fern or something. And another one that eats people ... no, no that can't be right! Oh, and a young prince, George or Arthur? I seem to remember telling him he had magic powers, if he could just remember who he really was. And something about a cat, a cat that sits in a tree and disappears.

Fern awoke and her stomach felt Knotted. it must be eating itself she thought, wandering what shed had to eat recently. then she remembered why she wouldn't eat, Fami. Fern missed Fami so bad, but the nurses would only take the stuffed animal out to convince fern to eat wich was verry little. Fern could barley stand up, she was weak and scrawny. but she managed to pull herself atop her bed and look at the wall. she had the sudden urge to throw a tantrum, screaming kicking tearing everything in her room apart, but she couldn't she just layed down and tried to cry, but every tear from her had been shed she couldn't cry or walk, what good was she now?
