Mental Assessment:


The prisons are one of the safest places to live in during the event; but those in charge want to keep it that way. This means making sure anyone who's lucky enough to be staying in a cell should be mentally equipped to handle what's in store for them. The first test any prison faction member has to go through is psychological testing; we're already filled with former criminals, it's too dangerous to ignore. The world outside is life-threatening enough; the last thing we need is insanity killing us from the inside, too.

These tests can be taken once daily while still in civvie stage of membership. This consists of one Rorschach test, and one simple ethics question. You can only do this test 10 times total, and you cannot pick the same Rorschach twice - nor can you pick the same ethics question twice. You're allowed to choose which ones you do, or if you'd rather roll for them, they are numbered from 1-10, simply roll 2d10. Just make sure you pick different ones each time.

You can do both in one post, or use separate posts for each - but you must have a word count of at least 100 words for each part, either way. Your internal dialogue can be as crazy or murderous as is canon for the character, but it would probably be best not to say you see yourself killing someone in the Rorschach test, if you want to move on to the next stage. (AKA, lying is OOCly totally allowed/encouraged).

What if my character sees nothing?
-This is a perfectly valid response, and yet will obviously give you issues when getting to 100 words. Thankfully, the psychologist who is administering these tests is very insistent. You are allowed to roleplay having an argument with the psychologist, whose only response to your problem is to try harder. He tells you to twist it. Turn it. Let your eyes unfocus. He will give your character every possible generic advice on how to see something, and they may still not see anything - but at least this will give you enough fodder to use for the roleplay.

Is there a right answer to the ethics questions?
-There is never a right answer for ethics questions such as these. You are an individual, and will react in different ways to different things. We will not judge or expel you for being scared. We're all scared. We will not judge or expel you for your answers if they reflect that fear. There are no right answers, but there are wrong answers. Those are the only ones we will be looking for. Answer carefully, and remember that our faction rewards respect and safety.

Maria had a tight lipped smile as she looked across the room to the psychologist before her. Never would she imagined that she would be sitting here, on this side, taking the standard test. However, her once-boss assured her that this was standard and that all would be taking it, including the psychs. Still, it didn't quite reassure the once receptionist.

Normally, she was the one helping encourage others, and she found it hard to put herself in those shoes.

"Alright, Maria, let's begin with a standard Rorschach test, shall we?"

Nodding, her eyes darted around the room a second before settling on the pictures in front of her. She quickly responded to what she saw, not too worried about it any longer as she fell into a trend. That was, until the final picture was held up, and her brow furrowed.

At first, she saw a bug, but that quickly morphed into a different view.

"It...it looks like two people...men...but they were once one. Like they are being torn apart and going into two directions...I...I don't know...it doesn't seem..."

"That's alright Maria, that is good enough."

She watched as the man placed the test down and wrote in his notebook, and she suddenly wondered why. Why was this happening? Why was something she needed to worry about?

Maybe it was earlier, when she was told she had to share a cell with one of the other workers. Being the type of person she was, it was often hard to find someone she disliked. But, this worker clearly was agitated with her, and every other word was often an argument. Maria tried, she really tried, to be the better person, but she couldn't help how hurt she was with the words.

Not being a fighter, it was clear others saw her as a weak link and worthless. She wasn't a qualified doctor, she wasn't strong enough to go on the dangerous hunts...she simply was.

She had expressed her concerns to her superior before she was dragged into the test, and now she felt herself being examined and judged yet again. Grumbling, she felt flooded with desperation to prove herself to others. Fighting was out of the question, she wouldn't be caught dead (or would she?) in the fight club...but maybe it was time to actually begin studying. Maybe she needed to focus on becoming more than a pencil pusher and actually use her schooling to help.

Sure, she was hurt, and wasn't used to such treatment, but it only meant she needed to prove herself...right? If she wanted to help everyone, she would need to equip herself with the skills, the training, and the cred as others liked to call it.

Determination flooded her, and she felt a bright smile finally cross her face as she thanked the doctor and rushed out of the room.
