One Flew Over - Well, you know the rest.

Alrighty then, I'll stick the two of you in the same room.

And Phloem, totally understandable! Just post when you can. And I just don't want to MISGENDER, is what I'm afraid of. I've inadvertently done that before and gotten some real shit for it. The way that I was raised and taught, there are two genders, so I'm naturally inclined to say he or she. But since I wasn't sure which one, then I just wasn't sure at all. I'm trying to be tolerant and polite, but having a he or she does make it easier to word sometimes haha :D So if you have a preference, choose now, or I'll just try my best to refer to you as "Phloem" every time.

Bird, you can post whenever, Alytra is kinda stuck atm but if you really want to start now then I suppose that I could play as Jason or one of the staff members/Dr. Remmington (if you have any desire to interact with one of them lol).

I like it :D Feel free to add your CS to the "Characters" tab. Is there any specific room number (out of either Hall B or C) that you'd like me to place Arrow in? He can either share a room with Phloem's character, Ezra, if that is something that is ok with Phloem (what pronouns should I use to refer to thee? :P), or have his own room. I think that I want my character Jason to have his own room for now for further plot development, and I'm thinking that I'll stick with the sexist stereotype of "girls separate from boys", except for in special scenarios, since this is a mental institution and not a college dormitory :P Just let me know!

Alytra could see Ezra eyeing her up, taking in her response, but the look on his face puzzled her. What was that? Anger? Confusion? Disbelief? She hadn't the slightest clue as to what he was thinking while she gave him her answer. She studied his face for a moment more as she considered talking, but decided that she would let it slide, not wanting to push too hard, as she would usually be so inclined to do, because he was a complete stranger, and although she didn't believe in the need for any barriers when it came to unveiling the truth, she figured that she would wait a little longer before becoming demanding and self-righteous... If she could manage.

Her eyes widened as he seemingly proudly proclaimed that he had attempted to murder his own family. "Well, Ezra, that is a rather intriguing tale. I, too, have wanted members of my own family to drop dead. The self-mutilation bit, however, I will never understand. It's not really my style." She was blunt and couldn't help it, but she still hoped that her response wasn't too curt to the point of actually hurting her new-found acquaintance's feelings; on the other hand, here it was almost impolite to go beyond surface level. No one ever did.

"So," she continued, somewhat intrigued, "You're a rich boy, eh? You must be realllllly rich, or famous or smart or something to get your name and story headlined like that, and the way that they put your family's last name out there makes it sound like most of the free world knows who you are. And no offense, I do not. And I certainly haven't "seen it in the tabloids".... I've been in here for about eight months." This last bit hit Alytra closer to home than she had imagined it would, and she tried not to let her face falter. She would keep her cool for as long as she could, at least in her current company.

Yay!!! Can't wait to read it (:

One Flew Over - Well, you know the rest.

Will do, I'm posting right now :D And ok, awesome, feel free to copy his bio/CS and modify it however you'd like to!!! And just post it in the character tab, I'm sure I won't have any complaints for what you do to him and I'll let you know otherwise. He's not vital to the plot to me yet, but you can make him that way if you'd like! Haha I just added him and the other chick in to make it less solitary around here :P So have at it!

One Flew Over - Well, you know the rest.

Yes, of course, Phloem, I thought that it would be great and was even going to offer creating a new staff member or allowing you to do the same since you had hinted at it in your posts!!! Would you like to play him, or have me play him, or what? :O I'm down for whatever. Also, sorry that it took me a while to get back to this, I had a rough day yesterday and was just kind of busy. I am currently completing some homework, but will post when I've done some of that!!! Thanks for hanging in there! And Bird, awesome, I'm so happy!! :D Can't wait to read your CS <333

When he spoke, Alytra could tell that this boy had definitely picked up on her signals and noticed the way in which she had reacted to his taking a seat near her. His face appeared to display that, although he wasn't too fond of her facial expressions, that he understood. Of course, that was probably a common theme for anyone here at Remmington's. Since all of the patients had their space invaded quite often and without their own consent, Alytra pretty much assumed that the others would feel the same way that she did about close encounters with strangers. Or, maybe it was just her, being "moody", slipping from an exciting "up" state into a dreary "down".... She mentally checked herself and attempted to control the ugly effects her disorder to the best of her abilities, along with the medicine that was flowing through her veins, if it was even the correct dosage/kind.

It seemed, for a mere moment, that he was going to share something else with her, but hesitation reared its head, and instead, there was a brief pause, and then Alytra finally learned his name. It was a lovely name, Alytra thought to herself, the kind that would slip off the tip of one's tongue, if not for the hesitation that he had shown, and the awkward repetition of his name afterwards. Was he nervous? Of what? Alytra could be kind of intimidating, but she wasn't that scary.... Was she? She thought that she saw his palm twitch a bit while she waited for him to say more, but it could have easily been just her mind running rampant, full of unidentified chemicals from the drugs.

"Um, my mom sent me here a while ago. I have anxiety and I'm mildly bi-polar." she confided in him, honestly, albeit a bit begrudgingly. She wasn't particularly proud of her disorders, and hoped that it wouldn't scare him off. Although a bit panicky around people, Alytra thought that she was literally going to die without someone to make conversation with. "Why are you here?" She pried, curious about what such a clean-cut looking guy could wind up here for.

As she replied, Alytra eyed him speculatively. He just sat there, right next to her, plopped his entitled little ass down as if he'd been invited. She hissed internally and glared at him ever so slightly, pulling her knees to her chest and making sure to leave as much space as possible in between her and her surprise guest of the evening. She was pleased, however, to have the chance for conversation with someone else who was fairly normal - or, at least, what she would consider MORE normal than the typical patient or staff member around Remmington's. Also, Alytra was both taken aback and pleased by the fact that the boy seemed to truly understand what she was experiencing. She noticed that he looked a little wobbly, as well.

"Name's Alytra," she muttered, disappointed by the fact that he could shed no more light on her current situation than had already been shed, "And... You are?" she inquired, raising an eyebrow. Relief washed over her that she wasn't the only one to be at a loss when it came to names here. Alytra was distracted briefly as she saw Jason pass by the Lounge out of the corner of her eye, and she could have sworn that she saw him smile one of those menacing smiles... She quickly focused her attention back on the newcomer once he had passed, however, and waited patiently for his reply.

You're telling me... Sigh.... Lol

Just an FYI, not sure if you've noticed, but I've been adding a few things here and there to parts of the OOC extra info. area as I have time/more ideas. Not vitally important, just explains a bit more in depth some of the parts of the building structure and set up and whatnot.
