The First Signs of Madness

[Zalgo]

Hello. I am hoping to join this interesting roleplay. I've submitted my character and am mostly waiting to jump in if it's accepted. So far I have enjoyed the execution of the asylum staff as it's got some intelligent writing behind it.

[AugmentationAudit]

Hello Zanglo; welcome to the madness. I am accepting your character, as he will quite merrily fuck with one of the wild cards and make things more complicated for me. Please pick an unoccupied room for your character, and write a "waking up" post for him. He will get a visitation from someone soon enough.

[Zalgo]

I shall be writing that post right away. He'll be in room 8 which I presume is unoccupied from what I read.

[AugmentationAudit]

Room eight is absolutely fine. You are in a populated are of the Residential Hall, and there is interaction going on relatively close to your position. Now that your character is out of his room, you will likely bump into the Sarah/Matt/Aveline interaction shortly.

[Trickster]

Ohhhh..... Fresh meat.

I.. I mean, hello new person! I'm sorry that Sarah can't stay to chat, but she's on a mission right now and a bit head strong about it.

I must say though, that Sarah and Arthur are simply going to have to sit down for a nice long chat one of these days. The interaction between somebody who can reshape shadows and become one with the darkness and somebody who can slip through a 'sideways' dimension (that's how I understand your power anyways) is going to be fascinating.

[AugmentationAudit]

Oh, it all fits so well into my super secret gameplan, you would not believe. Arthur is totally perfect for that, though if you notice certain characters running away from him, or acting strangely around him, that is for a very valid reason.

The internal politics of the institution will hopefully start showing soon. =D I will be posting tonight, now that I'm home from work.

[Trickster]

Animality, I would like to take this opportunity to apologize. I somehow missed the fact that you posted a while ago and have been sitting here glaring at the screen and waiting for something to happen. I shall disassemble the voodoo doll I made in your image immediately.

Just out of curiosity though, have you had any strange urges in the past few days? Sudden stabbing pains, the feeling like you were being dunked repeatedly in a patch of poison ivy?

[AugmentationAudit]

LOL! Now that you mention it... Haha, I've been waiting for you, Trick! Wondered where you'd gone for a moment there. Thought maybe you'd been eaten by Trephan, or sucked into the walls, etc. =D Good to have you back in the game! I am working nights at the moment, but will be posting either tomorrow or the next day.

[Trickster]

I'm really really sorry! I mean, there was this one incident with this interdimensional void under my bed, but that got cleared up immediately and I only lost a week or so of retaliative time.

I think.

What year is it?

[AugmentationAudit]

Ooh, that sounds like a nasty case. You have to watch 'The Instigator' for pulling tricks like that. (and let me tell you, the character that he actually is has been cackling in my head for nearly a year now, reveling in his secret identity).

I have just gotten home from work, so no posting right now, and I've got to be back in tonight, but I have the day off after work on Monday, so I'll be writing for you all then. =D

Stay mad, guys. It's what makes you awesome.

[AugmentationAudit]

There we go, guys! Post's up!

[Trickster]

Plots......Plans.......Secrets........

[Zalgo]

Got my post up at last. Little worries poor Arthur more than someone who knows more than him.

[Trickster]

You know, if something doesn't happen soon, Sarah is going to start running down the halls cackling and dancing, just for a change of pace.

[AugmentationAudit]

The Great Escape is going to be starting in the next few posts, mehopes. Just waiting for my artist to get back to me on the outside setting work. Also, we're waiting for a post from Anima, no?

[Trickster]

I'm not making my move till "late at night", so however long that takes.....

[Zalgo]

I am still just waiting for someone else to post. It would be wrong to follow up a post from myself with another post from myself. I've taken the liberty of having read all of the previous posts in this roleplay in the meanwhile. Figure I'd catch myself up in the plot of things.

[AugmentationAudit]

Detailed schematics of the security system, the lobby area, and what sort of bits you'll need to get out will be coming tonight. There will be a rough outline of the Asylum Village posted as well; it's just being scanned in and tidied up. Detailed descriptions of what you'll have to do to escape can be achieved in narrative if you ask the right person, or you can blunder through and have Asylum posts helping you along your way.

[AugmentationAudit]

There we go: there are a couple of close-up views of the Security checkpoints, which will be described in better detail when characters get near them. There is also a new location open: The Village, complete with pictures, zones and links.

[Trickster]

Would this be an appropriate time to start laughing manically?
