Welcome to the Thorn Hill Psychiatric Hospital  The Thorn Hill Psychiatric Hospital is nestled atop a lovely forest hill. We are a gated community, for the protection of our patients, and we pride ourselves on having the best accommodations and most high ranking specialists in the country! We know that our Hospital is a place where your loved ones will be happy and feel at home! Each room is fitted with a cozy bed, it's very own toilet, a work-desk, and a lovely courtyard or valley view! Our recreation area is open during all daytime hours, and we have a visiting curfew of 10pm. The Reality The doctor will see you once a week. The overly cheerful woman at the front desk will call your name when it is your turn to see him/her. The rest of the time you are left to wander the halls of the second floor of Thorn Hill, where all of the patient's rooms are. The rec area is in the center, guarded at all times. You are free to roam the space between your room and the rec area between the hours of 8am and 8pm. They say there are visiting hours, but no one ever visits. You have yourself, the doctors and nurses, and the people you are stuck here with. Some of them don't say much... Some of them say too much. You have never seen the first floor aside from when you first arrived, and when you escorted to your appointment with the doctor. Sometimes people don't come back. Sometimes they come back... different. Meals are brought to your rooms. There is a community shower room, which is also guarded at all times. Everything is guarded. Sometimes you hear screams from deep within the Hospital... The doctors say some of the patients are just more disturbed than others. That's why they have to be separated...

Patient Files[ＣＬＡＳＳＩＦＩＥＤ]  Can you tell me your name? Riley Cooper
How old are you? Nineteen
What is your patient number? 001
Do you know why you are here? Riley is here because she has not spoken to anyone in eight years. She will write, she will draw, but she will not speak. Not even sign language. Her foster parents brought her to Thorn Hill thinking something must be wrong, and that maybe the doctors here could get her to speak again.
Can you describe yourself to me? Riley is quiet, obviously, but she is always listening. She will communicate, if someone is willing to deal with everything being written out on paper or gestured, or drawn. Riley doesn't trust the doctors, and is terrified of the screams she hears from the more extreme wards of the hospital. She is also very stubborn and if she puts her mind to something, she will follow through no matter what.
Can you tell me about your home life? When Riley was eleven, her home was broken into in the middle of the night. The burglars thought that, because their car was in the shop, they were not in the house. When they realized that they had been mistaken, the burglars panicked and shot Riley's parents. She hid in the closet. They did not find her. The burglars were too shaken after the incident to continue on their original mission, for fear of the shots being heard and the cops showing up. They were never found. Riley remained in the closet. The cops came, courtesy of a neighbor who had heard the shots, and found Riley's parents, and found Riley. They asked her what had happened. She did not speak... Eventually Riley was placed in foster care. Her foster parents were nice, but she still had no desire to speak. The trauma of witnessing the murder of her parents had been too much for her. And the years of silence from Riley became too much for her foster parents. They became convinced the the specialists at Thorn Hill could do more for her than they could. Now she is there. Riley knows that if she would just speak, they would let her leave, but she has no desire to speak to the doctors.
Who takes care of you? Tigerlvr_Bailey Can you tell me your name? Jack Rudd
How old are you? 24
What is your patient number? 2
Do you know why you are here? Dissociative Personality Dissorder - Due to some sort of personal trauma he has developed 3 different personalities, 2 of them being potentially very dangerous
Can you describe yourself to me? The doctors have been trying to understand and breakdown Jack's personalities down so that they can find the source, but it's been difficult since Jack switches personalities unpredictably. Whenever he swtiches, it becomes difficult to talk to him calmly without restraints and drugs. His 3 personalities - 1) Jack Rudd... this is his normal sane self when put under no stress. 2) Avery Mill - The violent and vulgar self when put in harm's way. 3) Carson Finn - the vengeful and sneaky personality, skillful and clever, not really sure where his loyalties lie other than himself.
Can you tell me about your home life? Jack was found at an older couples' home. They had been murdered and Jack was found in a pool of their blood. But he didn't know how he got there or barely any memories previous to those beforehand. He was sent to the sanitorium because he was labelled as criminally insane and needed to be treated immediately. Not much is known about his home life other than his name. The authorities have yet to identify where he came from. All they have is his name and age, the only memories that Jack had when they found him.
Who takes care of you? Nea Jade  Can you tell me your name? Sereh Woodson
How old are you? 19

Do you know why you are here? Moderare Persistant Nightmare Disorder
Can you describe yourself to me? Sereh tends to fidget a lot, mainly with her hands. She's become increasingly paranoid because of the nightmares she has had. Though she is rather talkative when asked questions. She has been told to slow down a few times because she ended up talking to fast for people to understand.
Can you tell me about your home life? Sereh was raised by her parents most of her life, though she didn't have many friends. When she was 9 the first symptoms cstarted to show up. She would wake in the early hours of the morning, shirking at the top of her lungs. After about six month, her parents had her tested and found out about the disorder. The doctors gave her a variety of medicines to help Sereh sleep at night, but nothing helped. When she turned 18, her parents sent her to Thorn Hill in hopes of their daughter being cured.
Who takes care of you? My Lil Kouhai Can you tell me your name? Frederick/Ezikeil Black

What is your patient number? 004
Do you know why you are here? Prone to states of disassociative fugue, sociopath and schizophrenic when not in fugue, prone to violence and reckless behavior when in fugue as well as the other problems.
Can you describe yourself to me? Frederick is a class example of a sociopath, prone to violent thoughts and manipulation but never really harming others, he can be caring when he wants to be. Also when the voices tell him it's a good idea. Ezikeil is more violent and impulsive than Frederick often not caring about anyone or anything not even the voices in his head. He'd love to watch everyone around him die if he could make it happen.
Can you tell me about your home life? Frederick was brought up by his mother when he was young. She was a perfect mother trying to deal with his sociopathic tendencies. When he has twelve she died and he was sent to live with his abusive father. In that environment he developed his other two conditions. The voices came first then the black outs. He was still living with his father until three months ago when the voices told him to kill his father. He told them no so they made Ezikiel come out and kill his father instead. Frederick knows about the first two problems but he is unaware of the fugue.

Who takes care of you? xlKoralx Can you tell me your name? Lizzette Raine Brooks
How old are you? 15
What is your patient number? 006
Do you know why you are here? Oppositional defiant disorder, insomnia, as well as avoidant personality disorder
Can you describe yourself to me? Amoung my peers I am kind, gental, and careing. I love animals and children and carry a stuffed animal cat around all the time. I do not listen to adults as a matter of fact I do everything in my power to annoy them, and though it may not seem like it I am terribly self consious so I try to avoid people. However when I can not I tend to be a compulsive lier.
Can you tell me about your home life? I had the normal home life- drunk, drug abusising, and just plain abusive parents. It was a vicious cycle- they would beat me, verbally abuse me, then I would lash out do everything wrong, so I got abused, physically and phycologically, even more. As I grew older it only got worse until on my nineth birthday my dad decided to give me a presant for the first time ever. He began to touvh me and then proceeded to rape me. I screamed so my mother gagged me and shot me up with drugs to calm me down. I don't have much recolection of then till now, other than being locked and tied up in the basement. So many men came and went... so many men. So a couple days ago my mother was a bit late on the drug doseage and for the first time in a long time I wasn't high. When she finally came down to give me the doseage I struggled and freed myself of some of my restaints and bit her index finger off. She screamed and continued to scream while the old man came down and beat me sensless. A person walking by heard the commotion and called the cops. Now my parents are in jail and I am in this place. Did I mention that I am terrified of men?
Who takes care of you? Hikishi Masashi  Can you tell me your name? Tharen Michaels How old are you? 20 What is your patient number? 007 Do you know why you are here? Chronic Anxiety and Depression, PTSD, and Dream Anxiety Disorder Can you describe yourself to me? Shy and quiet, Tharen likes the company of others but doesn't like to talk a whole lot with them or get to close. He get's lonely easily but is too afraid to open up too much around others and is a pretty private person. He is usually friendly despite this, even if he doesn't talk a whole lot he is still kind to others and usually is the first to help if someone needs it. He is also a pushover and will likely do just about anything to make someone happy, as he is afraid of disappointing others or angering them. He can be easily manipulated both by kind words and threats. Can you tell me about your home life? Tharen grew up in an abusive household with a father that had a thing for little boys like himself. He was sexually abused on a regular basis up until social services found out and took him away from his parents. Being put into foster care wasn't much better since you never knew what sort of family you would end up with and many of his foster parents were equally abusive, be it physical, sexual, or mental/verbal. The inconsistency in his life paired with the nightmares of his past abuse that kept him up at night lead to his studies suffering and so his education isn't quite up to par with most people's. In turn, this invited bullying which only added to his insecurities and fears. Tharen was already rather androgynous to begin with, but due to a combination of the treatment he received from his father, the teasing at school, and his own confusion on his sexual identity, he began dressing in a more feminine manner and let his hair grow out long. He did this in hopes of being accepted and pleasing his peers since they already thought he looked like a girl and he thought embracing it might help instead of trying to push away what couldn't be changed. Unfortunately this backfired and the bullying only grew worse. At the end of his rope, Tharen felt he had no choice and attempted suicide. He failed in this and was immediately sent to Thorn Hill after his unsuccessful suicide attempt. Who takes care of you? Xelyn_X13 Can you tell me your name? Jemma Levy
How old are you? Twenty
What is your patient number? 008
Do you know why you are here? Jemma has shown sadistic tendencies, she often starts fires, and has been known to be very manipulative at times. She often gets put into solitary confinement for acting out.
Can you describe yourself to me? Jemma is generally nice to people, whether it is in a manipulative manner, or genuine kindness. However, if she decides she wants to pick on someone, she will not let up easily.
Can you tell me about your home life? Jemma's sadistic tendencies began in middle school. She started out as a small-scale bully. There was some name calling, and a bit of pushing around. In high school, she began to realize that she didn't have to push them around, she could just manipulate them into doing what she wanted. But the name calling continued. By her senior year, she had begun to make threats, with every intention of following through on them, and her manipulation grew more and more frequent. She once lured a boy back behind the the bleachers of the football field just to tease him a bit, before promptly biting off his finger. After that, she was taken here, to Thorn Hill. She acts nicely towards the people here, but when she decides she is angry with someone, or wants to go after someone, she will harass them until she is satisfied, making threats, teasing, and calling names, unable to do anything more in a place like this. She has also begun to start small fires with materials she finds, as a substitute for not being able to actually follow through with any of her threats. She is often placed in solitary confinement for starting fires or trying to confront her "victims" in the halls or their rooms. When she is thrown into confinement, she screams loudly the entire 24 hour period, leaving her voice hoarse and crackly. Another recently developed symptom of her sadist tendencies is that she has begun to pick apart her food at meals as though she is dissecting it, all the while, staring at whoever she has her sights set on for the time being.

She didn't really pay any attention to the doctor. It wasn't as though she planned to answer him. "Riley? Does that make sense to you, Riley?" She popped her head up, having missed what he said entirely. She grabbed the little whiteboard on her lap and wrote out. Sorry, didn't catch that. What? The doctor sighed, visibly frustrated. "You're dismissed for today..." Riley nodded and jumped out of the huge chair, taking her board and pen with her. It was her main way of communication. Riley Cooper had not spoken since she was eleven years old. Sometimes she wondered if she would even be able to form the words anymore. She never tried. She was too afraid that she really had forgotten. Riley went, escorted, back up the stairs to the second floor where all of the patient's living quarters were situated. It was midday, and the common room had people of various stages of coherency littered all around. Some were drawing, some watched the television, others played a game in the corner... Riley walked through the little gated door, hearing it latch shut behind her, and took her place on the window seat with a book.◦ ◇ ◦ ◆ ◦ ◈ ◦ ◆ ◦ ◇ ◦ we'll do it all ▣

Another terrible night.
When will these nightmares end?
Sereh sat at one of the small tables in the corner of the recreational room and doodled on a piece of paper. She tried to forget the terrifying nightmare she had the night before, but it kept pushing its way to the front of her mind. "Sereh. The doctor is ready to see you now." Sereh got up from her seat and made her way over to the orderlies. She then followed them to the doctors office and sat down in the chair.
"Hello Sereh." The doctor said with a tired looking smile. She half returned the smile as she fidgeted around, trying to keep her hands busy. "Could you please tell me how you've been sleeping since since we gave you new medications?" "About the same as before..."She said then began to talk about the nightmare she had the night before, going into extreme detail about everything she saw. After a few minutes the doctorcheld up his hand and sighed softly. "Thank you Sereh. We will adjust your medication again and see if that helps." He said then motioned for Sereh to be brought back to the second floor. Once back, she sat in her usual spot and began to doodle again.

She didn't really know what was wrong with the girl, but she knew she sometimes woke up to the girl's shrieking in the middle of the night. Riley was curious about the people here, but she always felt it was rude to ask. She knew she did not want to talk about what had happened in her own life, so she should not pry into the lives of the others.
Sereh came back very quickly. A lot more quickly than Riley's own appointment had gone. She watched from the window seat as the girl resumed her doodling. She wondered what was so different about them? Did it mean there was more wrong with Riley?◦ ◇ ◦ ◆ ◦ ◈ ◦ ◆ ◦ ◇ ◦ we'll do it all ▣

This is me
Master of puppets I’m pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can’t see a thing
Just call my name, ‘cause I’ll hear you scream
Frederick Black
Frederick walked through the halls of the second floor slowly, making his way to the first floor waiting room being sure to look everyone over, making sure to take note of who looked particularly weak minded. He quickly went down the steps and sat down as he waited for the doctors to see him. He didn't get why they needed to see him. The voices weren't nearly as violent as they used to be although he did black out a little more. Oh well as long as he kept them happy they'd let him have his books and his computer so he knew he had to behave."
This is you~
Master, master, where’s the dreams that I’ve been after?
Master, master, you promised only lies
Laughter, laughter, all I hear or see is laughter
Laughter, laughter, laughing at my cries

Another terrible night.
When will these nightmares end?
Looking up from her doodles, Sereh watched as the boy went down to the doctor's next. She was curious as to what was 'wrong' with him, but didn't put too much thought into it. Before she looked back at her doodles, she caught the eye of the girl who went to the doctor's office before her. She smiled quickly then looked back at her doodles. She heard the orderlies talk about her before. Something about her not speaking at all. Sereh wondered what that was about and thought about trying to talk to her, but decided against it. Maybe one day she will... Shaking her head, Sereh went back to her doodles and added a few things.

The girl had smiled, but she still didn't want to be rude. After a few more moments of thinking the situation over, Riley decided to go over to the girl. She pulled out her white board and scribbled for a second, then set the board down on the table next to the girl where she could see it. What are you drawing?

Another terrible night.
When will these nightmares end?
Sereh looked up when she felt someone sit across from her. To her surprise, it was the girl she made eye contact with earlier. Tilting her head to the side, Sereh read Tue message then looked art her doodle. Some of the things on the page were bright and happy, but the majority were drawings of some kind of monster. A monster she knew well. It was the one haunting her dreams, the one that made her wake up in the middle of the night and scream unil the orderlies sedated her. "Its something I see in my dreams a lot... She said then had to force herself to keep from rambling about her dreams. Sereh was sure the girl was just curious about her doodles and not her mental state. "I'm Sereh. Nice to meet you." She said and held her hand out for the girl to shake.

She wondered if that was why the girl screamed at night. Sereh held out her hand. Riley shook it, before wiping the writing off of her board with the back of her hand and quickly scrawling more words. The back of her hand was stained with the green whiteboard ink from performing this process over and over again for the last few years. Before she acquired the board, she had simply used paper and pen to write notes.
Riley. It's nice to meet you too : ) She added a little smiley face at the end. Then she wiped the board clean again and scribbled some more. That looks creepy. I totally get why it scares you. Anybody would be afraid seeing that thing every night...◦ ◇ ◦ ◆ ◦ ◈ ◦ ◆ ◦ ◇ ◦ we'll do it all ▣

Another terrible night.
When will these nightmares end? With a warm smile she happily shook Riley's hand. "Its nice to meet you too." She said then looked her doodles. Her smiled wavered slightly. "It is frightening..." She said and starts to fidget with her hands. "I don't see it every night, but it still seems to pop in out of no where." She said then rambled on about her most recent dream the night before. ... Then it started chasing me, which is when I woke up." Oh sorry. I usually end up rambling a lot about this." She said and smiled apologetically.
