"i told her 'i dont care about your cousin' just flat out told her that i dont care, i then said 'enjoy feeding your toothless cousin mash potatoes, and i hope whatever he does he will remember me' i dont remember what i told them next, i was cussing alot in that court room, i really thought i was gonna go to prison or a dungeon, things might of made sence there...HEH!!" Eddie inhaled another smoke "the thing with the mental house they sent me was really unexpected, i realized freedom dosent exists, emotions are created by ponies to live a little more comfortably, and i found that destroying what you ponies believe is so much fun....i mean stripping a stallion off his hopes and dreams and driving him to tears....is...isssss-sss-ssssA! really entertaining, i would do it for hours and hours...you know, when i was 15" Eddie sat down on the mattress again "when i was 15, and when i ran away from home, i really wanted to kill....simply out of pure random "but then i started stealing and became addicted to that"

"What did you tell her?" Alec asked, evenly.

 

@,

 

The nurse sighed, heavily. Still, it was all part of the job. "Do you need to sign in?" she asked Bright Spark. "You need to come to the reception desk."

 

 

Glory checked her watch; she had a good ten minutes before she had to rush off back to work. She wished that more doctors would come and work in the asylum, but it seemed that too many were put off by the very name, and the nature of the work.

Joy was attending the reception desk. She mentally put it down on the to do list in her mind that the next thing she needed to attend to was to find a new receptionist. Somehow, many trained receptionists didn't like the idea of working in the insane asylum. Still, Joy was happy enough to do the job; it meant she could take a break from paperwork.

 

She spoke to the mare who had just entered. "Can I help you?"

Spark stopped in his little adorable tracks and stared off into the distance. Somepony was talking to him, probably a nurse or... Mabye... Bright Spark had no clue. He wasn't about to turn around and face the pony. He could run away from her, him, it. The sound of her voice was little more than an monotone repative droning in his ears, folliwd by the occasional scream. "I'm sorry!" He yelled behind him as he galloped away from the thing.

@@Eddie, "Well, other ponies' pain doesn't interest me," Alec replied. "Instead, I try to do whatever I can to make them feel better and make them more able to deal with the pain in their own lives."

 

@, The nurse sighed again, and summoned a guard. There was no way that a patient could be allowed to just run about like that. The guard, a navy blue unicorn stallion, stepped in front of Bright Spark. "Stop now," he said. "Otherwise, I'll stop you myself."

"Yes" she replied with a sense of anxiety "I'm looking for a 'Golden Age', he wrote me a few months back and told me he'd most likely be here by now."

 

The white mare gazed briefly at the surrounding environment. Her boyfriend was right, this place was not half bad.

After quite some time, and almost falling asleep, Vinyl opened her eyes again and looked up at Glory with a smile. "I've missed this. It's been a while since we've been able to just take a moment to relax together. With all these new patients and very few new doctors, I'm starting to wonder how long it's going to be until we can't even do this anymore." I'm also wondering how treatment will work out, with such little time delegated towards certain patients.

Sunset blushed as he complimented her name, giving a mumbled "I-I don't know about that..." as she averted her eyes.

As he stopped talking, she absorbed his words. He hadn't been through the things she had... but she knew how he felt, to an extent. She didn't know how one could go through shat she had and not be scarred for life. She wanted to tell him she could empathize, but he didn't seem to want to be bothered, so she joined the silence.
When he spoke again, her ears flattened.
"P-P-PTSD isn't th-the only thing I-I have... Social anxiety, scopophobia, mnemophobia... but alll because of my PTSD..." she whispered. As he mentioned befriending, she was shocked.
"B-Befriend...? I-I don't know if I-I'm a very good friend..." she replied, once again hiding behind her mane and averting her eyes. She was already afraid of potentially losing Moonshine if she wasn't a good friend... 

@@Pripyat Pony,  

(I'm a little surprised Poppy hasn't said anything or asked Sunset about her PTSD.)

Symphony smiled and got up, waiting for Rowan to lead the way.

"Would you like to take a seat for the moment?" Joy asked the mare, kindly. "I think that Goldie is currently in therapy at the moment; I will get a message once he's free, which shouldn't take too long."

 

@,

 

Glory sighed. "I hope that it never comes to that," she said. "And I especially hope that Joy doesn't agree to Dume's idea of merging the insane asylum with the criminal asylum."

 

@@Mint Drop,

 

Ooc: Poppy is just being a listener, so as not to interrupt the flow. She finds that ponies find that easier sometimes, rather than constantly being asked questions.

 

Rowan led Symphony to the library (I think?) There were a few ponies there, but the overall impression was that it was peaceful and quiet.

@@Pripyat Pony,

 ((I see. Yeah, that's probably best for Sunset. She's uncomfortable just eing looked at, never mind being asked questions about why she's supposedly crazy. xD. Oh, and also, they were going to the cafeteria. xD))

Symphony looked through the door. The library looked nice, but that wasn't where they were supposed to be going.
"Er, Rowan? did you forget where we were going?" she chuckled nervously.

[Pripyat Pony 2,608]

@@Mint Drop, "Just thought I'd show you the library, since it's on the way," Rowan said, comfortably. "Also, I've found that it's a good sanctuary to escape the shadows. They don't seem to like it so they don't go there. Thought you'd like to know, in case it's all too much and you want someplace to escape to."

 

Rowan then took Symphony to the cafetera. It was manned by cheerful cook ponies, all with cutie marks representing some form of food or drink.

Golden Age looked down at the ground, thinking of what to say to her, and he looked at her when he found the words. "You're just...shy. Being shy doesn't necessarily hinder your ability to be a good friend, It's possible. You've probably been through alot, just as traumatizing, if not more, than I've been though..."

"Would you like to take a seat for the moment?" Joy asked the mare, kindly. "I think that Goldie is currently in therapy at the moment; I will get a message once he's free, which shouldn't take too long."

"Oh my...that bad?" she asked with a concerned look on her face.

 

She dropped her head slightly and walked to take a seat. She look into her purse and took out a book that Goldie had given her before he shipped off, a piece titled "A Tale of Two Towns" written by some Charles Hoovins that he had consistently begged her to read.

Bright Sparj squealed and ran the other, yelling that he was sorry repeativley. He continued to run, staring at what seemed like his mother, with her arms wide open. "Mom!" He cried out to his mother, only to hit something solid. It wasn't his mother that was there, it was simply a wall.

Sunset shuffled in her seat, eyes still refusing to meet his.
"I-I guess... i-I just mean... you'd make the s-second friend of mine ever... a-and the first I ju-just met earlier t-today... I-I-I don't know how to be s-somepony's friend..."

 

@@Pripyat Pony, 

Symphony nodded. "Ah, okay, i just wasn't sure."
She followed Rowan to the cafeteria and smiled weakly as her stomach growled.
"So, is the food here any good?" she asked, still looking around.

"You learn" he said with a smile. "If you don't mind, I'd love to show you, you might learn rather quickly, but...forgive me if I have any flashbacks, they don't happen too often, though I feel you should just...know..." He looked down at the ground with a hidden expression of embarrassment 

[sunne 660]

 

Sunset timidly looked back up at him.

He might understand you... He has PTSD too, he won't make fun... She told herself.

"I-if you're sure... B-but I get f-flashbacks too... i-if something r-r-reminds me... I-I also get panic attacks..." she mumbled. "U-usually if I'm crowded..."

Just as he had felt the need to warn her, she felt the need to warn him. She didn't expect him to calm her down or anything, but it was best if he knew why something might happen.

"It's alright, I'll understand if you do, we're not exactly the most sane individuals" he said with a soft smile. "I think what might help the both of us out is if we talk about what we've been through....bottled up emotions are never good, and they come out eventually..."

[sunne 660]

 

 

 

Sunset shuffled uncomfortably. It was already amazing Moonshine didn't hate her. Most ponies seemed to hate her for no reason because of what happened to her. She wasn't sure she could telll some pony else.
Calm down, he has PTSD too. He won't hate you... I hope.
"O-ok-ok-" she stammered, then drew in a shaky breath. "O-okay, b-but... Who f-first?"

"I hope so too. I heard about how he treats his patients and I wouldn't wish that on anybody, especially somepony who really needs some tender, loving care, like the patients here." Vinyl looked at her clock, then back to Glory. "If you need to get back to your job..."

[longgone 873]

"Start small I reckon...y'know anypony who hurt you pretty bad, but not the worst? I reckon starting small would be more fitting, considering we've only just met and all, though I don't wanna pressure you into anything you don't wanna do.."

 

He looked down at the ground, waiting for her response, he never was quite comfortable with looking people in the eye.

[Pripyat Pony 2,608]

 

 

"Don't worry," Joy replied. "We've just found out that a patient with a similar affliction is at the asylum, so we felt it might be beneficial for Golden Age to talk to her. A nurse, Poppy, is with them."

 

@,

 

"Come with me," the guard said, taking a firm hold of Bright Spark but not hurting him. "You need to sign in, then one of the nurses will find you a dorm."

 

@@Mint Drop,

 

"The food's really nice here," Rowan replied with a smile. "All the food served in the cafeteria comes from the allotments and farm."

"I don't want to go back," Glory said with a sigh. "But I'm going to have to. I'll try and see you before you go to bed tonight. And I thoroughly agree with you on Dume. I'd fight tooth and hoof before I let a monster like that near the patients here."

 

@@Eddie,

 

"The thing is," Alec said, "You can't keep on being antisocial to other ponies, or the powers that be are going to object. Like they have done, when they put you in here."

Apparently it was her who was going first. She would have preferred to go second, but she doubted he was very keen on going first either.
"Um..."
Sunset was stuck. Somepony who had hurt her, but not too badly? That was a tough one. Anything anypony did that concerned her usually affected her greatly. At first, she could only think of one thing, but it didn't quite work. After a few moments of thinking, she had it, though.
"P-ponies who came to the o-orphanage to adopt... Nopony ever wanted to adopt m-me... Th-they'd all comment on m-my scars or something to th-the worker wh-when they thought I was out o-of earshot... m-most said I shouldn't even be up for adoption..." she hid behind her mane the entire time, staring down at her scarred hooves, trying not to let on how hurt she still felt. Just thinking back to even these memories were painful enough, never mind telling somepony about them,

You could very well be kind and caring for all I know, just...traumatized, and I hope that statement proves itself true.". He smiled, though lowered his head and turned it the slightest to avoid it being seen "Regardless of the scars, you're a very cute lass"

 

"If you...don't mind me asking...h-how'd you get the scars?"

"Are you clairvoyant?" Alec asked. "No, I don't think so. I'm not thinking anything of the sort. All I am trying to do is help you leave the path you are currently walking down, and which can only lead to trouble. I'm not asking you to settle down, or to change yourself; just to co-operate. Look, if you co-operate with me, I could maybe persuade Dume to transfer you to the Insane Asylum. But Joy won't take you if you're going to be a danger to other ponies."
