Welcome to the Carlsbad County Schizophrenia Annex.
You may not remember why you're here. And that's okay, we're going to help you. You'll receive the best psychiatric care we can provide. There will be Group Therapy every day, you'll get some TV time and some relaxing arts & crafts. If you need some extra time with a therapist, you only have to say the word. Don't worry. We'll help you remember. We'll help you confront what happened, and overcome your issues.
But it's late now. Let's show you to Ward 23, where you'll be staying. I'm afraid we've got quite a strict lights out policy.

No one will believe you
Gameplay
Light System: A light system intended not to be intrusive and allow for fluid interactions.
Dark and Surreal: This game will be quite dark, the theme, tone, and events quite surreal at times.
Short Arc: This game will not go on for very long but may require intensive posting for a while.
Requirements
All you need is a tolerance for horror and the surreal, comfort with building your character through play and developing their history by dialogue. You'll also need to be prepared for some dark material and provocative discussion, and if anyone is interested in playing I need to be aware of their limits on what is offensive or triggering.
Your character sheet should look like this:
Name:
Apparent Age:
Appearance:
Vitality: 5
Lucidity 5
Memory: 0
Truth:
You may list five true things that your character remembers - one of them can be your actual name. Here are some examples:
'...If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times, you will speak when you are spoken to!'
A black dress, torn at the shoulder.
We drank coffee in his kitchen and tried to connect to one another.
Blind with panic. Deaf to the roar of the caged traffic. Heart stopped on the road to Damascus. Paul, sat at the roadside hunched over like a gull, like a bloody gull! As useless and as doomed as a dying goatherd, a syphilitic cartographer, an infected leg.
