Psychotic Life in a Cage OOC

[x Scratch n Sniff x]

Ello friends! This is where we can talk about junk and stuff out of our RP, as we all know, duhhh. :3

Here is the link to get back to our Roleplay!

[x Scratch n Sniff x]

But as we were talking about earlier,
I really enjoy the posts and how well you all are able to come into your characters. I know it can be tough to get it 'perfect' but just know that it doesn't need to be. We can relate on some levels with our characters and as long as you have your creativity and imagination, you can do it!!

I have chronic depression, BPD, symptoms of schizophrenia and im severely bi-polar. Its hard, but hey, we do what it takes to live ^^ I dont mind being a person with mental issues, though I wish it was easier, but writing with you guys actually helps me a great deal with my problems because I can express what I am feeling or have felt, through my posts. ^w^

The difference between the good guys and the bad guys

I don't feel that I am playing Keith right for being a pyro. I wouldn't say I have any real mental issues other then I wouldn't consider myself quite "stable" if you catch my drift. Then again the government trusted me with weapons that could do lots and lots of damage so maybe I am stable?

Is whether they use a human shield or make themselves one.

I think you are doing a great job so far. We have just begun remember and if you would like to cause some action and bit of adventure, he can start a fire somewhere in the hospital, hoping to burn it down and you can choose whether he gets caught or not.

Or

If you really feel as though you cant relate, you can add some other issues into his disorder. Maybe something about fire, other than pyromania, causes out bursts. Maybe something in his past pushed him to love fire but when he gets to a certain point of starting one, he loses all control and tries to go on a killing spree?

I'm just spitting ideas. You can change his disorder if you really want to. I don't mind. Whatever makes role-playing comfortable for you. ^^

Like I mentioned earlier, I have Aspergers and Turrets, but I manage quite well with them. Sure I have problems with public speaking, jumbling my words talking to fast where my brain can't catch up, but it's just more annoying then a hinderance. The turrets is spastic twitching, greatly increasing for nerves and just random occurrences.

How is my Zombie Boy doing? I'm liking it so far smile

[x Scratch n Sniff x]

I worked with some students through out my high school years that had turrets and aspergers. though some more extreme than others. It was really fun to help them and actually see how it varied from different settings and crowds of people.

Hes coming along great! I enjoy the dead bunny a lot and the great use of appearance being applied. I wish my body was stitched like a doll. <-<'' I want to be like Sally. <3

I actually have a cousin who has DID (or MPD, Multiple Personality Disorder, just two names for one thing). At one point they tried saying I did, but since I don't have any of the symptoms, they gave up. Apparently my ability to play the vast 100+ different characters as differently as I do scared them? (Um...good writing?)

Anyway, my cousin ended up going...well nuts for a lack of better words. She's been in an institution for quite some time and, the last I heard, is mostly stuck in a more violent personality.

Seeing that first hand is why I'm playing Yasei like I am so far. Despite the symptoms they give, the person acts quite normal (or 'their' normal, however they originally are) until the switch and a little after said switching. She'd go to another personality without notice, but when she 'came back', she was a little disoriented, forgot what happened, and had a hard time telling what was reality for a little while before going back to her 'normal'.

So far though this is a lot of fun. I'm throwing in a second character soon to make things even more interesting.

[x Scratch n Sniff x]

Thats pretty intense! My ex has that and actually 'switched' for the first time in front of me and acted completely crazy. When he came back, I was balling my eyes out and he had no idea why. He felt so bad (more or less because he knew about his disorder and didn't warn me ahead of time) But he is more capable of separating reality from fantasy and is doing quite well for himself. Engaged to my best friend and working like a true man. (hes 17) ^^

I enjoy it as well. I miss being able to write, especially more personal things like this.
Oh, Moon, I replied back as Dot, though I figured with Amber coming into play you will be working on her post first so she can have some face time? (good guess?) ^w^

Also, for any changes being made to the first page, I will let you all know here. So far I have added a side note for new comers, because I have been getting a lot of questions about the way I organized the 'Disorders' contents post and the Disorders them selves. [ex; do people have to have the disorders listed in my contents post?, can people create their own disorders? etc etc]
SO
I added that. The link to the OOC is now there along with new characters. Though I am sure I will not have to notify everyone when someone new joins, but I will so you can check out their Disorder definition and Symptoms.

Sorry for such a long post on boring stuff D:

[Moonbeam Vixen]

I'm actually working on Yasei right now...with something interesting happening ^^

I'll be working on Amber next. (yea, she'll be going by that instead of her first name xD)

Also, I have a question. Is there a real direction for this rp. When I first saw it, I thought it was going to be kind of like a...horror rp. Like some weird stuff is going to be happening. Though I've noticed some sweeter characters and wonder about what's going to happen?

Just trying to get my brain waves straight here so I know, at least vaguely, where this is headed.

[x Scratch n Sniff x]

(

When I first created it, I wanted it to be an escape roleplay. But when I put so much detail into a plot, I get ahead of myself (as you have seen through our many attempts at the vampire ball)
So I decided to keep the plan of escaping in my own head and to see where you all could take it.
Then I started wondering, what it we had powers? No, that sounded too cliche to me.
What if it was more like a nightmare on elm street 2 kind of theme? No thats still a bit much.
My final thoughts were this (I was planning on telling you all when I had a better idea but I think you might be able to help me out more)
What if the staff members were actually scientists, drugging each of us, infecting us with different disorders, programming our pasts into our heads through 'therapy' and 'hypnosis' treatments? What if we discovered this? How would we escape?

Do you understand? (here's my elongated hypothesis)
Each staff member is the aid of a secret society of scientists who wanted to find permanent cures for mental diseases. Each Nurse and Doctor was assigned to us by their choosing of which disorder they wanted to study and cure the most is actually drugging us with these chemicals (causing the disorders) by their food, drinks, medicines and even brain washing us with 'therapy' sessions and 'hypnosis' techniques for curing us. So yes, they are actually trying to cure us, but they are the ones who kidnapped us, erased our memories and forced us into believing whatever memories they programmed. Creating an entire fake outside world that revolved around our made up past. (example Tate; would have newspaper clippings about his murder victims, but the scientists actually printed them and wrote them and staged the whole thing) No one outside of the hospital even knows they exist. Ever trace of their lives was erased and we don't even know where we are. We are just lab rats for a sick and twisted experiment..

As time goes on and we meet and learn about each other and go deeper into the bowels of this hospital, we discover what is really going on and have to play along for a little while longer until BOOM! We escape! (somehow..)


Hows that sound? ^w^

[Moonbeam Vixen]

Wow...I actually like that a lot. I don't think I've seen anyone try to pull of such an elaborate conspiracy plot. I think it would be very interesting to find out that everything they 'remember' is fake. It would also be interesting to find out who these people were before they were forced into their horrible states.

I accept that, it sounds like a whole lot of fun~

[x Scratch n Sniff x]

I feel like it will be a bit of a challenge for our brains to have to come up with not only the programmed memories, but the real ones. And heres the best part, each of us gets to control their nurse, doctor, drug dosage, therapy sessions (in detail if wanted), punishments for acting out, programming, remembering, etc. It will be very interesting to see what we can come up with. And who knows, maybe we were all chosen because in some way, we are connected to each others lives. muahahahaha.

and if you want someone else to step in for more action as your nurse or doctor, dont be shy to ask. Im sure none of us bite.

except Trevor..he bites ;3 hehe~

But yes, I would like everyone to read that and this, if there are any questions, post them or PM them, I will gladly answer and all-n-all HAVE FUNN!!

[Moonbeam Vixen]

Oh man...it would be horrible (since most of them are adult/near adult) if several of them were couples (maybe even engaged?) and then were taken and forced into this, now not knowing who their partner is, only to find out later what really happened and that these people took said partner away from them >.< Oh hellz...

[x Scratch n Sniff x]

Awwweee snaaaappppp!!! Lol.

Oh and just an additive,
I dont know if any of you have or have not seen the episode of Avatar the last airbender when they go to ba sing sei and meet Ju Di? It also has to do with Lake Loagai? Well. This is kind of like that..

If your nurse or doctor is injured or killed, they will be replaced with a copy made from the head scientists. They will have the same memories, name, features, etc. But! nothing will be perfect, there will be missing holes in their memories (even minor things like forgetting names, medications, specific things that we talk to them about in therapy) HINTHINTHINT! *cough*the beginning to how we find out this is all fake *cough*

SOOOOOOO!!! please keep that in mind as we go on this rad adventure!! <3

[spartan309]

I can already see the emotional problems that's gonna happen to Trevor because of Alexis' sexual desires and such. She's probably gonna break him or something. Sad :c
