Introduction
Plot: Heavily afflicted with illness and dark pasts, children and adults alike from all over the world find themselves trapped in St Pestilence Hospital, miles away from anywhere and with hardly any staff besides a few nurses and the head doctor. But while the nurses care for them, the doctor is cruel, twisted and abusive to everyone, sometimes making their conditions even worse.
Then one night, one of the patients see a man all clad in black wandering the corridors at night. What is this man? Who is he? Is he a creature come to save them? Is he another human wanting to hurt them? Or is he just a figment of the imagination of many desperate people?
Characters available:
The Doctor: Kaizer Hansen (AlfonseDiedrich)
Nurse 1: Sara Whitefield (Me)
Nurse 2:
Nurse 3:
Patient 1: Kanashimi Yukai (Me)
Patient 2:
Patient 3:
Patient 4:
Patient 5:
The Man in Black: Levi (Liteamazon)
Note: This is not the character limit. There is only one doctor and one man in black but there can be as many nurses and patients as you like, there isnโt a set number. When you submit a character, I will add you onto this list so that people know who is already here. Also, you can have male and female nurses but the doctor has to be male. Whoever takes the man in black can have free reign with what he is, I do have some ideas but Iโd like to see what others can come up with. If you want some help with his character, let me know either in the OOC section or PM me. And one final note, you can have more than one character (like I have done).

Kanashimi watched the rain as it sailed down, adding more water to the already large puddles surrounding the building.
Another stormy night, they happened alot around this hospital... wherever it was. No matter who she asked, Kanashimi had never found out exactly where the hospital was located. She knew it wasn't in Japan, that was why she had needed to learn english, but no one had told her any more than that. Some of the nurses didn't even seem sure themselves.
Sighing, she leaned her head against the cool glass.
It was after lights out, the rest of the kids in the Children's Ward were asleep but the storm had woken her, just like it always had back in Tokyo.
Itami, why is the thunder so loud? It scares me.
Don't worry Shimi, it's just the weather letting us know it's watching over us, there's nothing to be scared of.
Are you sure?
Trust me Shimi, even if it was scary I'm always here to protect you.
A single, hot tear of blood ran down her cheek.
"Itami..." She whispered softly, staring out into the blackness.
Then she sat up, looking around.
There had been a sound inside, she was sure of it! This had been happening alot lately, some of the younger patients had talked about seeing some man wandering the corridors at night, someone all in black...
As she heard the noise again, Kanashimi stood up, carefully walking past the other beds and opening the door, making her way into the dark corridor.

"Quarter to midnight and all's hell." She muttered, rubbing her head as she closed the file.
Her paperwork had been piling up recently, mostly due to her preference to actually do some nursing rather than spend all day in an office, so she'd been working later and later to get it finished. More than once, Sara had considered taking an empty bed in one of the wards and just living here, she only went home for about an hours sleep anyway and she was staying in a hotel, it wasn't like anyone would miss her.
Besides, that way she could keep an eye on the patients and the doctor.
Sara shook her head, standing up and grabbing her clipboard, she'd better do one last round before she left.
The doctor.
Something was wrong with him, and not just the way he treated his patients. That was bad enough, the cruel and abusive way he was with every single one of them, even the children. But there was something else, when he'd interviewed her for the job he seemed quite normal but since she started working here... he was different.
"Whatever." She muttered, clutching her crucifix before heading to the door.

Pacing. It helped him focus, at least a little. Focus on what, he didn't know, just to focus. The doctor paced in the middle of the room, hands folded behind his back, eyes staring attentively ahead. He then turned his gaze to the clock, then the door.
It was nearly time for the 3 hour check-up, on his patients. His toys, more simply. He often found himself reffering to them as toys, even to the nurses at times. Stopping his pacing, he threw open the door and marched out, heading down to the patients wing.

He calculated that this apparently was not the right time. When Shimi stepped out into the hall Levi allowed himself to be seen by her momentarily, but then instead of leaving he simply pulled his hood over his eyes, cast her a knowing grin, and melted into a shadow. Even though he could dissolve his physical body into the darkness, he needed the hood because the fiery bright glow of his eyes could be seen at any distance. Besides he was curious to see how this was going to play out.

It had sounded so... unusual, like something was scratching at the wall.
Then she turned... and a small gasp escaped her lips as she saw the figure.
It was true... the man in black... the one the other patients had been talking about... but who was he?
Almost as soon as she got a good look at him, she saw the man pull his hood up and smile at her.
Then he started to vanish.
"Wait!" She cried out, slightly louder than she had intended, as she started to rush over to where he would be but by then he was already gone, dissappeared into the shadow.
Her eyes frantically searched the darkness but there was no trace of him. Where did he go? Surely he couldn't have just disappeared like that, it wasn't possible. And why was he here in the first place?
Perhaps he's here to help... She thought to herself. Maybe he can take me away from here... back to Itami...
No, there wasn't a way she could be sure that he wasn't just a demon, or if he was another doctor playing tricks on them. There was no way she could know if he was definately here or not and yet... what if he was there to help them all?
Now Shimi felt even more determined to find him again, wanting to know exactly who and what he was.

At least, until he heard a patient shout from down the hall. Turning his attention to the doors, an odd sneer broke onto his face. He recognized the voice, one of his favorite toys, Shimi. And he marched off, towards her cell, quietly. To suprise her, he approached until just a few feet from the door, then punched the lights on in her cell. "Oh Shimiii?" He purred, through an intercom system. "Why aren;t you sleeping?!"

He had simply vanished. But other people had seen him before so maybe he would return. Yes, surely he would come back. But until then she would just have to wait. She returned to her room, hoping it hadn't just been a dream.
She really wanted to leave this place.
She let out a small cry of shock when the lights came on, quickly followed by that voice.
It was him.
Doctor Hansen. The man who was supposed to be making all of them better had very often made her worse. He made her afraid and sometimes he made her bleed... she wasn't supposed to bleed. Itami and Sara had both told her so.
But the doctor didn't seem to care.
"I... I... I'm sorry... " She stammered, backing up against one of the walls, staring at the door in sheer terror.
Because he'd used the intercom system, she wasn't sure where he was in the hospital. He could be outside the door or he could be rooms away from her.
There was still a dried trail of blood down her face from where she had been crying earlier, she could feel it against her skin. Would he make it worse again? Or would he just talk to her?
She wished one of the nurses would come.

Sara grinned to herself as she tucked the older patient in bed.
For some reason it soothed her to hear his crazy ramblings, it reminded her that she was still doing a little bit of good in this god-forsaken place.
"Well then, I'll have to have a word with those naughty stars won't I? We can't have our patients getting no sleep Mr Smith." She replied, standing up straight. "Well, I'll see you in the morning then."
"Okie dokey, see you in the evening." He said cheerfully.
Sara smiled, about to step out of the room.
"And if you see that man in black again, do tell him to stop walking so noisily won't you?"
She froze, turning back.
"Man in black?"
"Indeed, he makes a terrible racket when he walks around this place. Must be his shoes."
"I see... goodnight then."
Closing the door, Sara leaned against it a moment.
The man in black.
Many patients had said that name and although she didn't want to admit it, Sara was beginning to think he wasn't just a figment of the imagination. Perhaps there were some dark forces at work... you never did know.
"God keep me safe." She muttered, walking along the corridor.
She was about to call it a night when she heard a shout further along. Strange, everyone she had checked were comfortable so unless it was one of the unchecked patients but even then, the doctor would be...
Her pace suddenly quickened.

Levi's thoughts were interrupted by the praying and worrying of the nurse he knew was quickly making her way in this direction. He could just make out the whispers of her pleas to God. "Nearly here," he thought with anticipation. He loved watching the two of them together. He did not understand why nurses like her worked in places like this, but figuring out that answer was not what he was here for. As she got closer he heard mention of himself in her thoughts and suddenly he became very interested in what she thought she knew of him, but that exploration would have to wait. He pulled his timepiece from his pocket and glanced at it. "Perfect timing," he breathed as her approaching steps grew louder. When she was done here with Shimi and Hansen, Levi would have his own fun with the one they called Sara. He slinked to a farther shadow for the perfect viewpoint of the impending encounter between employee and employer.

Re: [OOC] The Afflicted
Come to think of it that is quite a good and sensible idea... which I probably should have thought about before. Good call, at least I've managed to get people who's brain's work properly (which mine doesn't half the time :P)
Okay, I'll try and get the places up soon.
Main Ward
Children's Ward
Nurses Station
Dotor's Office
Examination room/Lab
Morgue
Re: [OOC] The Afflicted
Hello!
I was wondering if it would be at all possible to divide up the hospital into some different wards or something just so that there is some clear division between where things are happening. I was thinking something like the Main Ward would be like private rooms for adults along a corridor or something, then obviously there is the Children's Ward, but then there might be things taking place at the Nurses Station or the Doc's office and/or private lab and exam room. Maybe there is a basement with a morgue or something!?!! OK I'm getting a little excited. Just giving my two cents. Any other opinions?
Thanks!
