open Canterlot's Insane Asylum {Reboot RP}

[Sunbro 4 Lyfe 939]

Honey let out a whimper and crawled off into a vacant room. Seeing as how nopony had checked her in and the only one to has now gone off, she obviously needn't waste her time waiting. So she locked herself up for them. A simple thing to do is it not? She thought so.

[Eddie 23]

Eddie heard the strange voice throught the wall "hey wait tell him if he tries to stop my heart beat ill make sure the both of you will lose a limb...one two...BUCK!! one after another till YOUR heart stops....by the way, Jay? do you find Celestia as 'the greatest and the most compassionate Princess' to rule Equestria? if yes then why is your compasionate bitch didnt fund this asylum? i bet these metal beds are 3 decades old....she is basicly telling you to rot here, and now she has twilight as her right hand or something, friendship isnt the thing that keeps you alive...if id trust ponies, id probably be dead, ponies never care about you...THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT..." Eddie kicks and brakes the bottom end rails (or whatever) off, making one end of the bed fall down and the other stand "THEY'RE OWN SELF!!! ....the buck did i do? pff think i give a slight?"

Six new ponies entered the asylum at once; a quivering Pegasus mare, an Earth Pony mare who had her hooves over her head, and two guards with each mare, dragging them in.

 

"Wh-wha-what did I d-d-do?" asked the trembling orange Pegasus. Her guards didn't answer as they pulled her to a standing position and showed her to the front counter. She squeaked and looked around, terrified of what might happen.

 

The other mare, on the other hoof, wasn't paying attention to anypony else. She couldn't focus on anything but the screaming in her head.

"Sh-shut up!" she yelled, as she had been doing the entire trip to the asylum. "Get out of my head!"

The small orange Pegasus jumped at her yell and inched further away from the blue Earth Pony as she waited to be checked in.

Glory looked at the picture, then at Vinyl. There were tears in her eyes. "It's beautiful," she said. "Just like you are. And thank you, so much."

Vinyl smiled and gently put the painting down on the floor beneath her bed, so it would be safe. She then pulled Glory in for a hug and kissed her neck. "You're amazing too, Glory, and I love you so much." She paused for a moment before continuing. "You're the most special pony I know."

Jinx laughed loudly. "Yeah, as if you could even get near me, when my magic is working!" she said. "Boy, if you even tried, you might find yourself in several pieces on the floor. But why would you fight me, when I'm not the enemy here? It's the ponies out there who prefer to slave under a tyrant rather than buck the system who are the enemy."

 

Jay said nothing. She was frightened of Jinx when she was in this mood.

 

@,

 

Glory returned the kiss. Their love was forbidden but that made it all the more wonderful. And Glory knew that Joy would never get rid of her; she needed her.

"lets laugh together then maniac" Eddie laughed along with the mare "THATS WHAT I WAS SAYING, WERE YOU PAYING ATTENION YOU...aaah forget it, and for the record your magic dosent work due to some bullship ring on your horn...soooo what does...i mean what is preventing me to rip the mane out of your head and strangle the life out of you? and no you're not my enemy....for now, that dosent mean you'll murder me in the future...i know...i always have a feeling i know....id actually prefer to work alone to get the hell out of here, but this is a desperate situation so i guess ill have to work with you to escape...so what do you say Mr 'other half' of jay's? we gonna stab some throats in to get out of here?"

"Oh trust me, I know how to fight even without magic," Jinx laughed. "I'm at least as strong as an earth pony. Not Jay, she's weak. Weak in the body and weak in the head. And I'd be happy enough to join you should you figure out a way out of here."

 

@, @@Mint Drop,

 

Glory sighed as the embrace with Vinyl came to an end. Much as she'd love to spend the entire day with Vinyl, she knew that it wasn't possible what with the staffing issues that affected the asylum at the moment. Joy did as much as she could, when she wasn't bogged down with administration, tho Steeleye helped her a lot with this. Glory knew that she'd have to go.

 

"I'm sorry, Vinyl," she said with genuine regret. "I really have to go now. But I promise you faithfully that I will be here to see you before bedtime, with that spell to stop your nightmares."

 

Glory kissed Vinyl one last time and dashed off to the reception desk. "We really need to hire another receptionist," she muttered as she galloped. The last one had left after being spat at by a new patient. What the asylum really needed was a receptionist who was made of sterner stuff than the last one. Glory stopped when she reached the desk and saw two new patients.

 

"Names and illnesses, please," she said. "Let's make this quick; I have a gazillion things to do today and I want to assign you two rooms as soon as possible."

@@Pripyat Pony, 

Sunset hid behind her mane at the arrival of the receptionist. Roommates? why did they have to have roommates?

"I-I-I-I..." she whimpered, overwhelmed.

One of her guards rolled his eyes.

"Her name's Sunset Sky, she apparently has PTSD and some form of an undiagnosed anxiety disorder." 

 

Sweet Symphony barely noticed the new pony. The voices in her head were still screaming, giving her a headache and distracting her from the real world.  She had stopped yelling for the time being, but she did mumble every now and then.

"This one's Sweet Symphony, paranoid schizophrenia," stated another guard.

@@Mint Drop,

 

Glory looked thoughtful when she heard of Sunset's disorder. "Maybe she could have therapy with one of our current residents, who suffers from the same problem," she said. "I'll talk to Steeleye about it. In the meantime, it might be best if they are separated; Sunset can dorm in the Luna ward, and Sweet Symphony in the Starswirl ward."

 

Ooc: Over here, a lot of hospital wards seem to be named after people. XD

 

@@Eddie,

 

Jinx laughed ironically. "Oh, you missed that place by a few miles," she said. "This place, where you are now, is the Criminal Asylum and believe me, from what I've heard, the doctors are less fuzzy wuzzy happy clappy than they are violent and restrictive. If you want to see a doctor, then press that button in your cell but I wouldn't try to fight them, if I were you. Not unless you wish to leave this place by the quickest and easiest way... in other words, inside a coffin."

[Eddie 23]

"i cant believe this in particulary" Eddie said to himself "why are you tell me THIS? im not the one who probably murdered someone and tried to make sence of it afterwards, why dont you keep those suggestions to yourself? writen down somewhere on the wall...and what you said about the coffin, might actually work...how about playing de- no no that wont work...no that wont work at all damn...there's gotta be a way...nothing is foolproof, you know what? put the sane one...what was her name ugh...JAY! put him back on" Eddie said as he kept looking for this button the mare mentioned, as he found it he kept pressing it multiple time "I NEED A DOCTOR THAT IS A DOCTOR THAT HAS A JOB AS A DOCTOR DAMMIT!" he kept pressing the button.

@@Pripyat Pony, 

 The guards nodded and took the mares in the directions of their respective wards.

Sunset was somewhat re;ieved she was going to be separated from the Earth Pony; her screaming had easily unnerved her in a situation where she was already pretty close to having an anxiety attack. 

But still...

The receptionist hadn't said whether or not she would have a roommate.  She wondered if she would. if she did, the least she could hope was that the pony would not be like the blue mare.

 

For Sweet Symphony, the voices had just started to quiet down. She looked around, able to focus a bit better on reality. She was being taken down a hallway. Or rather, dragged. With so many voices screaming at her, she hadn't exactly been in the state of mind to walk normally. 

she stood up and followed the guards. 

 

((I'm guessing I don't have any roommates?))

"It seems likely...," Steeleye mused. "That your second dream is one more... in line, with the issues that you suffer. Here is how I interpret what you have just told me, with tying the images and feelings to what could be going on in your head. At the core of it, obviously enough, is the Russian winter war. Nearly half a million ponies went into the Tundra during the initial push. You would have seen that, back when standing in line and marching in time with the others seemed to be important. The initial push wasn't horrible, we made pretty good time in during the warmer months, though there wasn't a ton of fighting. Only when the cold set in did the real fighting began. Supply lines were cut off ruthlessly. We were prepared for the cold, in a manner of speaking, but without resupply things became dire really quick. Quite simply, the lack of supplies and the Russian defenses wore us done. The hammer and anvil that was our army broke against the cold and was ground into dust. Disease and malnurishment made many, as you said, quite literally wither away."

 

"That is likely what you are remembering, the steady and then free fall decline of our supplies, ammunition, and soldiers. As for how these have affected you... currently I am not sure as to the full symptoms. Yesterday's display was a hint, but nothing concrete. What I -know- is that you have been turned violent. The discipline and faith in the military you had at the beginning of the war has been shattered so far that it might be irreparable. From what I see... you are uneasy, haunted even. The memories that you carried out of the winter weigh you down and continue to inflict pain long after the events occurred. Most importantly... it seems currently that the cold became part of what you are. The fury I saw in your eyes... it wasn't like a fire or rage. It had the intensity of a blizzard, one that sends razor shards of ice into whatever it is close to. Would you say that thus far I have been correct?"

@@Eddie,

 

A doctor arrived at Eddie's cell, an orange unicorn stallion with a brown mane and tail. Like all the doctors in the Criminal Asylum, he was tough. He unlocked the door and immediately hit the patient inside with a binding spell so that he could examine him in comfort. "Looks like you've lost a bit of blood," he said. "I'll sort that out right away, but in the meantime it would help if you could just calm down."

 

@@Mint Drop,

 

The dorms were full of ponies; the Insane Asylum was very full, which explained Glory's rushing around. There were too many patients to too few doctors and nurses. Each dorm that the new patients were taken to had at least six ponies inside.

Eddie kept pressing the button, as the doctor arrived Eddie said "hey finnaly help arrived...HEY!! what in the name of something are ya doing?? LET ME GO!!" after Eddie realized the doctor casted a spell on him he settled down and stop struggling "a bit? look down on the floor you puppet! does that look like a bit of blood to you?? and i bandaged my forehead with the sheet...so you might wanna give me some new ones.

and i have a request doctor"

@@Eddie,

 

The doctor ignored Eddie's protests and carried on with the examination. Once he had finished, he cast a health spell that would renew the blood that Eddie had lost and start the healing of the broken skin. He looked at Eddie, coolly. "And what would that be?" he asked.

[Eddie 23]

Eddie felt blood racing throught his whole body again, he started feeling alot warmer and alot less paler "aaaah YES!! this is IT-T-T-T-HAHAHAAAA-HAHAHA!!.... aaaaah phew WHAT?? oh my request, right right right right...and left, well i would like to go home, as in go out through the front door...so may i? look at me! im more normal than you with that slave uniform you call "doctor's unifrom" and i really arent planning to spend my born days in this cell with these lunatics....please only what i did was beat up a couple of rich scumbags thats all, oh and boo hoo i started a fire in that same rich building so what? ive seen gaurds beat up beggars around corners but none of you send THEM here!"

@,

 

 

He looked up and confirmed Steeleye with a simple nod of agreement. "Military has been my life, I still have some faith in it, but...no longer as a whole. It's been made clear that the Equestrian military has, erm...flaws, to say the least. Those flaws have caused us all pain and suffering. You, ye have something to carry on with, I don't." looked inside his hat and pulled out a crumpled piece of paper that was being stuffed inside the brim. "See here, '1st Lieutenant Golden Age of Her Majesty's 3rd & 9th Consolidated regiment of foot is hereby discharged under the grounds of being mentally unfit for service.'"

 

He stuffed the paper back in his hat in a rather crude fashion and chuckled darkly "Unfit fer service... how can those boys twiddle their hooves s and deem me 'unfit for service'? How the hell can you expect somepony to go through something like that and come out with gay spirits? 'Tis utterly impossible!" He let his eyes focus on the various patches that were sewn on his military jacket. He briefly wondered if he should just get a regular on frock coat, or would he be one of those old ponies that walked around in his former military outfit, dreaming of happier times?

 

"But I reckon I digress...Changed, aye, haunted, aye, dangerous....only when set off, I ain't dangerous by nature."

Sunset Sky froze at the door, trembling with fear. There were around six other ponies in her new room.

"Is-is-isnn't there an-n-nother r-r-room? A-a vacant one?"she squeaked. One of her guards shook his head and pushed her in.

Inside the room, Sunset felt crowded. There were so many ponies. She shuffled over to the nearest vacant corner, sank to the floor, and curled up in a tight, anxious, quivering ball.

 

 

Symphony didn't like the prospect of having other ponies with her, but went in anyway. She plopped down on a bed that was seemingly  free and stared at the ceiling. There were little flashes of light in her eyes and she heard a little scraping noise above her head. Wouldn't be long until the voices were back. They were her most frequent hallucination.

The doctor was trying to warn Eddie, without letting things slip. The fact was that Dume had started subduing some of the more violent patients with dangerous techniques, like lobotomy, which might work but the doctor felt were inequine. But what could he do? If he left, it would only be worse for the patients, who couldn't help being as they were.
