Quote:
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.

Mia sat in the chair, rocking minutely side to side as he glanced around the room. He'd never actually done the Rorschach Tests before, but when he was called in to do one, he was a bit worried. Mia wasn't at all sure what to expect, but he wanted to do the best he could, so he stared all around the room until the psychiatrist came in and fiddled with the pieces of paper until she finally decided on one and held it up for him to scrutinize.

He stared at it for a long moment, ceasing his rocking.

"It looks like a bunny," He finally stated, drawing his hands together and holding them in front of him, clasping them together. Mia's brows furrowed as he tilted his head, not sure what else he was supposed to say when she kept holding it up.

"... it doesn't look like a zombie bunny. It just looks like a bunny. An innocent little fluffball that didn't hurt anyone." He shrugged, relieved when she finally put it away so his rocking would continue.

The psychiatrist set the paper aside, and moved onto the mental question that she was supposed to ask. "You must choose between saving the life of another faction member, or obtaining a box of bottled water. You cannot do both. Which do you choose, and why?"

"I'm not very useful," Mia admitted, not thinking very highly of himself. "So I would probably save another faction member than try to get more water for myself. I can't do much. They would probably do more. Could probably do more." All he could do was rock side to side, wondering how many tiles were on the ceiling. Maybe he could find out by counting them. He stopped rocking, craning his head fully upward as he began to count, his lips forming the words of the numbers silently.

The psychiatrist let out a sigh and shook her head, realizing that she wasn't going to get much farther with this particular patient. After all, there was a reason he was called Mad Mia.
