EVENT~



Nurse Ratched, is that you? Oh dear, godlings, this may be bad. Very bad.

Time: From October 23rd (11:59 PM EST) to October 30th (11:59 PM EST)

Location: NYC (everyone will be pulled back no matter where they are and attempts to leave will be thwarted)

EVENT DESCRIPTION: When the clock strikes midnight, the world will change. Your characters will find themselves in New York but one from the 1950s. Expect the change in wardrobe, hair style and how your character will be treated by the citizens of the city. Expectations will not be like those in the modern era, so keep in mind how women and men would be treated back then and apply it to how NPCs would treat your characters and whatever they do. Your characters will return to using paper journals once more, so be prepared for that. And among all the historical and old, there will be a building none will remember from that era, a proud old hospital serving those who are mentally unwell.

This is Schilling Hospital. Here, there are a variety of treatments, including electro-convulsive therapy, forced medically-induced comas and lobotomy. Less known are the exorcisms by some over-religious doctors and visiting priests, physical abuse and purposeful neglect. The staff know their duties and perform them well. Nurses wield power over the patients, the doctors even more so. The environment is brutal, unjust and none of the other patients will tell you it gets better.

That right, many characters (selected from our beloved volunteers) will suddenly find themselves within the walls of the asylum and they'll be told how long they really have been there when they ask. Or they'll be taken to the asylum on the first day of the event (it's player choice). Despite their very best protests, they'll be told they cannot leave, that this is for their own good. Everyone has a reason to be there, whether it's right or very, very wrong.

For example: Freyja's husband checked her in chronic weeping and believes her mentally disturbed. And so she can't check herself out. Of course her denying it only will make her seem more crazy.
Or: Hathor voluntarily checks due to stress in under the condition she will let the doctor decide when to let her out. Or even if she doesn't agree to that condition, suddenly it is made that way because the authorities here are outright corrupt - especially once you get to know them.

Regardless of how they get they, they aren't allowed out now. And these are the current residents: ( The List Of Patients )

The unlisted are in the city. Some of them have loved ones locked up. They are, of course, free to try to bust them out but, should they be caught, they'll become a new resident at the asylum. After all, whatever power you think you have, there's always going to be one (or more) greater than you. Or, perhaps, your character isn't so kind and may be trying to keep someone in the asylum.

On this note, if your character currently has a job that could be associated with the asylum, such as being a doctor, nurse or even janitor, they are feel to get involved there whether to help or hinder. As sometimes things can get violent, the law could get involved as well. But remember, control and power belongs to Khaos' people who will be sure to trap and announce things when they please. There is no legal or safe passage out of the asylum because they want you here. If you do escape, prepare to become a very wanted individual, the law being on the asylum's side.

If your character is in the asylum, feel free to list the reasons why below. If you need any mod input, please ask! It's optional to do all this but it can also help with plotting and more.
