[OPEN] forgot what i was losing my mind about
Who: Mae and YOU
Where: Around the Mansion and grounds
When: 2/9-2/11
Rating: PG-13 for potential violence and mental health issues
Summary: Mae is about fifteen, fresh off The Incident, where she attacked and almost killed a fellow student. Now she's stuck in a world with strange looking people and dinosaurs. She's pretty sure she's gone insane.
The Story:
A: (kitchen) woke up on the wrong side of reality
It's official, then. Everyone was right. Mae Borowski is insane.
She's in an enormous house she's never been to before, and everyone around her doesn't look--normal. The people she's seen are all tall, hairless creatures. She's pretty sure they're still people, since they're wearing clothes and talking, but they're not normal. Maybe aliens. They're not actual aliens, she's sure. It's just her mind making them look that way. So she tries not to look at them too much, because if she stares then people will start asking what's wrong.
There's also dinosaurs outside. She knows plenty about dinosaurs. She had like a thousand plastic dinosaurs as a kid.
So this is what insanity is like. It's weird. She doesn't really feel crazy. She just kind of feels lost and numb, and like she's about three inches to the left of her own body. Everything's just...sort of floaty.
She hides out in her room for most of the first day, but eventually she gets up the courage to go exploring. Might as well explore this insane asylum or whatever it is. Where are all the doctors?
She ends up in the kitchen, where she finds a box of off-brand Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Then she tucks herself into a corner of the kitchen and just starts eating out of the box, staring into space and trying not to think too hard about what's happening. She's got a journal and pen with her and occasionally jots something down.
B: (roof) there's a madness that's just coursing right through me
Later on, she starts getting the hang for how this crazy fever dream of hers is going to work. It's all magic-based or whatever, and the closets have infinite resources. Junk food, blankets, baseball bats, you name it. She started to get a bat out of the closet, then thought against it. No weapons. Bad idea. She might hurt someone again.
Instead, she starts gathering a whole bunch of small drinking glasses and carries them up to the roof. The roof is a bit dangerous, considering there's like...pteradactyls and shit. They leave her alone once they realize what she's doing, though. Mae just sort of starts tossing the glasses and letting them smash onto the roof. Once she's done with one batch, she sweeps up the broken glass--she doesn't want to be that guy who leaves broken glass everywhere--and then starts it all over again.
It's cathartic. It's helping.

I was wondering about the dinosaurs, too.
no subject
[ She'll never get used to the availability of resources in this place. ]
Yeah... they're not usually, um... out there. That's new for everyone.
no subject
So dinosaurs just like...happen sometimes?
no subject
[ It's... well, at least some bad. She hasn't forgotten seeing Joel get torn to shreds. ]
Uh - not until now. At least, I'm pretty sure. I've never seen 'em, and I've been here, like... three years, basically.
no subject
[Oh, man. She must know all the ins and outs. She probably knows all the hospital staff...if that's even what this is. Mae just doesn't know anymore.]
no subject
[ It's hard to keep track of time, but she thinks that estimate is close enough. ]
no subject
Uh, can I ask--what're you in for?
no subject
[ She's not the librarian, or anything. ]
"In for" - what? [ ... ] What d'you mean?
no subject
[She raises her eyebrows at Ellie.]
Or, you know, you don't have to tell me, I guess. If it's private or something.
no subject
[ She assumes, never having really been in one. ]
You'll just have to take my word for it.
no subject
I dunno...I just don't know what to think.
