LURID - Asylum Decadence

[Goblin Cat 😸]

Rigor stood up, and followed the doctor, cynically. She wasn't really sure, but she felt as if Nadia was leading her into something that wasn't worth the effort, as if the mention of going outside would be a bribe to make her do something else. As much as she wanted to go outside, she didn't want it dangled over her head. "What business do we have outside? Who authorized it?" She asked, still not convinced. She crossed her arms, waiting for an answer. "No one just goes outside to go outside."

"Hun, it's one of our field trip days. You know well I authorize every one of these trips with Nero before I even consider asking you. Besides, this time it's just for fun. Don't you want to be spoiled every now and then?" Nadia flipped back her ponytail with a thin hand.

"Out... outside? Like where the sun is? Are you sure I can?" Macid sat down on his bed with a sullen look on his face. "He's been very angry since yesterday Scott. More than usual. I don't think he likes you very much." The words that then flowed from Dicam's mouth were as profane as they ever were, but this time they stayed in Macid's head. Slowly he turned his head towards the doctor with a sad frown. "Am I ever gonna get better?"

Scott went over, leaned down, and placed a sturdy hand on Macid's shoulder. "You can get better. No, you will get better." Something different, almost metallic, flashed in his eyes now. "Someday soon, I might even give you the opportunity to heal completely. No pain. No difficulty. But that's something that I ....cannot ask of you now." The eyes were back to normal. So was the smile. "But of course. I'm sure Rigor wouldn't mind a tag-along on her little trip." Scott laughed, half jokingly, half scared of the prospect of telling Rigor  she would have a buddy.

Akrill went over to the door and clicked his talons against it before slamming his palm into the door. "Can I get out now?" He almost yelled, not really having heard any steps come across his room. Tension built in his body as his eagerness to meet Katie, almost overriding his constant battle with his more impulsive half. He can't remember having a nurse or aide, and Nero is the only non-patient he can recognize by voice or face.

Macid smiled slightly at Scott's words. If he thought that he could get better, then maybe it wasnt impossible. At the mention of a full heal, Macid became confused but decided not to press on it any further as Scott said that he couldn't do it now anyway. He tried to remember who Rigor was. "Rigor... is the..  chameleon right?"

Nero smiled softly at the nurse and put his hand on her shoulder.  "Don't worry, madam.  I was on my way to talk to her anyway.  You musn't take what the patients say to heart...while they may speak their opinions, they are hardly ever correct.  This is an asylum, remember"  With a reassuring pat, he nodded to the nurse.  "Continue your rounds...I will take care of her.  If your schedule allows it, let Akrill out.  He's been wanting outside and I think today's fieldtrip will be a welcome thing for him."

With that he left the nurse to her duties.  He already knew she'd be waiting for him.   Something about her...he couldn't put his finger on it.  It was almost as if they were both magnets...spinning so that their poles would cause them to be drawn to eachother one minute and then repulsed the next.  He liked her, no doubt about it...but something about her felt like it was out to kill him.  He had never felt that way before...not in all of his years.  No single entity had actually been able to generate anxiety in him..and yet this patient had succeded in that.

Shaking it off, Nero finally made it to the lobby.  He glanced at Sasha momentarily and then turned to Katie with a smile.  "I heard you wished to speak with me, miss Katie.  Is everything alright?"

Rigor continued following behind the retriever contemplating her words as if there was supposed to be some hidden message behind them. She had not realized that she had once again lost her grip on time so severely. Maybe it's why she didn't realize that the retriever had really not seen her in weeks. She shrugged it off, still thinking as she followed.

"yes thets exactly what i'm saying. at the moment he and matt are both cowering in some deep crevic within our mind, trying to comprehend that a complete stranger and maxs sister could by now be on their way to the morgue." bizneg smiled calmly while looking at the nurse. "i do wish i had my own body though....max's is alright but to be honest....my true ody is that of a dragon, while matt is a human...only max is a lace monitor."

(a bit awkward doing an enterence post like this...tell me if i'm good.)
When the doors to the asylum opened, anyone nearby would hear a sweet, young sounding voice asking questions that received no answer.
"pardon me, but why am I here, mister?"
"mister, hello? Please tell me what this place is!"
the voice belonged to a young squirrel going by the name of Ashton. He looked around curiously, seemingly unaware of the straight jacket and chains that bound him. At first look he would seem like a normal boy. However, just like everyone else here, he was unique. The tall guards accompanying him did not bother to answer his continuous questions. He smiled and nodded at the people, both patients and doctors, saying hello to them as they passed. He was moved to the apropriate cell, injected with his medication, and left alone inside.  He was being monitered, of coruse, but he appeared to be doing nothing of interes at the time.

Bizneg's claims were slightly fascinating to the fresh neko nurse, who had had no experience with patients yet, and she jotted down all she could. Part of her was tempted to do the honorable thing and revive Max's original personality, or at least try to, but the majority of her had little interest in that. He could stay as he was. "I am curious as to...how you could maintain different forms for different personalities. Surely lots of mental fabrication is occuring."

Nadia smiled at Rigor yet again....almost creepy how she would not stop with the smiling, the flashing of white teeth...and then led her to the lobby, taking special care to avoid Katie. "Now you just stay here for a small while, and I'll go get us ready for this. Others might be coming too." Nadia turned and left, leaving a desperate Sasha who backed off of Katie for relief and gratefully came to Rigor's side, not exactly expecting better luck ...

"Hello there Rigor," the lemur said shakily.

Meanwhile the elderly nurse took the suggestion she was given and went solemnly to release poor Akrill.

"Yes, that is Rigor." Scott glanced around the room for a hint to the answer of his next question..."So- did you keep a set of street clothes when you came here? Not many want to be seen wandering around in a pair of hospital scrubs."

Katie turned her attention from the roof to Nero, something brilliant like fascination or wonder flashing in her eyes, some color like blue flashing with it. "Of course. You would have me. Speak about it. In the open. I'll not fall for this trick to defame..." In an extremely bold move she put her hand on his shoulder and pushed it back, leaning in to hiss clearly: "I am not the one you know. Why haven't you saw that? Even I alone in this body could pick out the truth, did you not think I would have let them bring me here if I didn't want to get to you? No. Never...Why. Why didn't you see me. Why didn't you kill me the moment I was drug through the door? When I had the mindset of the pitiful girl. Now. Now is too late. My real self is bared and I may be killed no longer." She dropped her hand and stepped back. She reassumed a normal tone of voice. "Perfect order doesn't live just to live. Tell me why you haven't bothered to kill me. Do you like Katie? Do you like her enough to try and win her? I would suggest. Garnering a new attitude."

"Unless you ********'s washed them, we have NOTHING! And even so, we WOULD NEVER TOUCH THOSE THINGS AGAIN!" Again Dicam tried to yell and scream at Scott, but was restricted to Macid's mind. Macid winced slightly at his sudden screaming. "Uhm, I don't... think that I want to... wear my old clothes again... ever... if that's allright." Macid was still fiddling with the ring during all of this, thinking about why he was given it. He didn't want to ask, for he feared Scott might want it back. He just couldn't handle that sort of let down. "Are... there any spare... clothes I can use?"

[Kodachi Devil]

All of a sudden, a rather loud shout came from Ashton's cell. It was different from the voice of the boy that had just been escorted in there. Deeper, and much more angry.
"HEY! HEY WHAT THE HELL?" shouted ashton. At this moment, however, his other personality, roberto, was in control. "WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING IN HERE??? YOU STUPID--- THIS IS ALL TORI'S FAULT!" he screamed. "GIVE THAT LITTLE PUNK-A** BRAT A CHANCE, HE SAID! WELL NOW I'' HERE! LEMME OUT!" he screeched, as a doctor and a guard rushed in to sedate him.

[Goblin Cat 😸]

"Alright." Rigor said, finding herself jumping into her more cooperative behavior, if it could be called that. Her false charm often would get her far unless she was with a nurse who knew better to fall into her honey pot. It wasn't long until the lemur came to her side, greeting her. "Aw, Katie got poor lemur-girl down?" Rigor asked melodramatically. It was hard for her to keep from being melodramatic as her mood lightened somewhat with the promise of going outside. She often exaggerated her expressions to the point of sarcasm from lack of experiencing the true emotion itself. She threw an arm around the lemur, drawing her in close. "If you ask me, I think Katie needs a day job," she whispered, her eyes growing wide as if she were telling a secret to Sasha.

[x]

Scott nodded. "Of course." He went and calmly opened the door, not fearing so much as a bolt from Macid. "We have a general collection on hand, follow me-"

"What do you mean a day job? I didn't know she worked at night..." Sasha came off as dim-witted sometimes, even though she had to have been somewhat book smart to get as far as she did in school.....she was really uncomfortable being touched however, and her fur turned the color of white pearl, her stripes fading to light grey.
