Volure giggled at this, and putting together her meal, she followed David to the back of the room.

"Chain Mail, you know if anything was to be destroyed in some manner, we would all look to you, and you know it. " As she sat down, she realized exactly where she sat.

"Oh dear..."

Just then, Storm Lily walked through the doors, whispering to Snivel, before looking at the table and freezing. She stared, frightend that there were ponies at her table.

David was about to continue arguing with Poe when the pony called Chain Male and Valure sat down next to him. He was just about to start eating when he felt the hair on the back of his neck rise. He looked around and noticed a mare standing in the door way looking at them. Leaning over to Valure, David asked "Say, Valure, who is that over there, in the door?"

[GameytheGeemer 147]

"Yes, I'm aware that I would be BLAMED for any damage, however I wouldn't have been the one to have broken it. After all, all I did was run down the halls, fight imaginary changelings from the war, teleported around the room while taunting you, and proceeded to duel you with a carp. At no point did I cause any destruction, only a mess of cheese." He said, following Volure when he himself saw Storm Lily. "Well, duty calls." He said, going over to her.

 

"Well dear I do see that you seem quite sad." He said, starting a sort of song. "Would you be ever so kind as to tell us what's wrong.

If you open your mind I'm sure you'll see.

The the mad ones are neither you or me.

So why don't you sit down and have a conversation

With ponies who know, just your situation.

I'm sure that it'll do you some good,

Just sit back and enjoy the food."

He sang, much like the flim flam brothers, but without a personal motive. And he does have a top hat and cane.

"Her name is Storm Lily. She is mute by her own free will, and has schizophrenia. She thinks she can see ghosts. If you sneak up on her while she is alone, you can hear her 'talking' to them. She is quite shy..." She said, as the young mare slowly backed away, moving to a deserted table at the other end.

"She fears other ponies... Doctor Brindle believes it stems from the the way other ponies treated her as a child. They feared her."

David stared at Storm Lily as Valure described her to him. "Really? Well, that is...interesting. Do you know if she has anypony close to her? Someone that she talks to?" A plan was forming in David's mind to try and help this sad mare. "Every pony is wrong about her you know, she isn't crazy." David jumped, completely unsuspecting that would Poe to start talking in the middle of such a crowded area. He did his best to ignore him, but eventually had to ask. "Really? Why isn't she crazy? She talks to ghosts." He tried to whisper his response to Poe to himself so no pony else would hear him, but he wasn't totally sure of his success. "They're real." "Right, like that mare from a day or so ago was also real." He turned back to Valure, hoping she didn't hear him conversing with Poe and awaiting her reply about people Storm was close to.

@GameytheGeemer

Storm Lily was paralyzed with fear. As she listened to his song, she slowly relaxed. As he finished she suddenly felt the urge to sing, but her tune was much slower, almost soft and delicate.

"Thank for being so kind,

And telling me what's on your mind.

But there is something you just can't see,

And it is greatly concerning me,

For it is a kindly friend,

Who's life has met a timely end..." Her voice wavered slightly at the end, and she hid under her mane.

Volure stared in shock.

@Dave Pyro

"Uh...Oh,um close to?" She said back to him, still thouroughly surprised at what Storm had just done.

"Well..ah... Dr. Brindle I suppose. He has been her doctor for...five years now." She said, barely catching what he had said.

"No one else actually... She has had no contact from family members... In the twelve years she has been here. Thats almost half of here life... Spent alone in a loony bin..." She said, not really caring if anyone heard her call it the 'loony bin'. That's what it was, plain and simple.

[GameytheGeemer 147]

"Well, untimely death, that's rather sad I fear,

But I know more about that then you may hear.

It's been many years,

Since reality realized their fears,

But the ponies I lost live on in my fun.

It's precisely the reason why

I know you're not crazy with time."

He sang, his usual up beat and louder than normal tempo, explaining a lot more about himself than would be expected as he bent over, offering a Hoof to Storm Lilly.

"But these ponies are not yet gone,

They stay, and wonder what went wrong,

I hear their cries, and see their faces,

I feel their pain, and know the places,

For, dead they may very much be,

But still amoung us, I can see.

They walk amoung us knowing,

Dead and never showing,

Only I can see.

Only me...only me..." She said faster and faster, then becoming very quiet. She breathed hard, not because of the singing, but for other reason. Her lungs were hurting, and she began visibly shaking.

(Oh, okay!)

@, ((Sorry, writer's block))Sunset stared down at the bed beneath her, unsure how to answer Inkblot's question. "U-um, a bit..." she mumbled. "Th-there was a c-classroom at the o-o-orphanage... A-and also at the l-local school... b-b-but there were... i-issues... S-so I missed some school..." she finished, ears flattened as she nervously drew circles on the bedsheets with her hoof.

@@Mint Drop,

 

((Your Sunset Sky case isn't quite as severe as the others, who are pretty much insane, schizophrenic, split personality, or antisocial personality disorder. In fact, a person with PTSD isn't SUPPOSED to be in a mental hospital, but since Sunset was also isolated out of society and her communication skills possible stagnated, she may have been suggested to stay in one.

 

If it was just PTSD, she would simply just go to a regular hospital.))

 

Inkblot jotted down some of his observations of Sunset down on his memory journal, pausing only once to look at her. So Sunset was not as isolated as Inkblot thought; she did take some education, and at the least, she was literate.

 

"A classroom at the orphanage?" Inkblot repeated, then went into a minute of deep thought. He then spoke again. "Okay, Miss Sunset, I will require you to ask a few questions for me. Please attempt to respond to all of them, as I need as much information as I can get to solve your problem. Psychology is not like a walk in the park, you know." Inkblot gave out a warming smile to futilely uplift Sunset's mood. He wondered if it ever worked; whatever he did, she still maintained that quiet personality of hers.

 

"First, tell me how many hours did a regular school day basis at your orphanage and local public school. Second, tell me how often did you skip a school day; an unexcused absence of more than half of the school day would be considered truancy and fall under this category," Inkblot listed. "And while this may be a bit scary...third, when your abusers arrived at the orphanage, were your school education cut short because of that?

 

"And fourth..." he continued, his tone lowering down, "why don't you feel like talking to me? I can see that you do not want to communicate. Which is completely understandable: I may be giving you discomfort. You may be switched with another psychologist if I bother you too much."

And as a knee-jerk reaction Chain Mail hugged the shaking Storm Lilly. Not a romantic sort of hug, but a kind of calming hug, complete with mane stroking.

"While I know that that's painful

And no easy thing to bear

If you let help, me

The other side these spirits will see."

He whispered into her ear rhythmically, still to the same upbeat tempo that he lived in.

Vokun came out of his room a while later, grumbling about how he couldn't get any peace time. The Wraith sat outside the room Ink Blot was, waiting for the doctor to come to him. The doctor had a good scent to him, an aura that was much better than most he had met. Vokun felt an itching in his flank and remedied the irritation by ripping part of his flank off. No more itch once his flank regenerated.

"So we're breaking into song" Sliver Tiara asked with a laugh. She tried to think of a good way, but insead summoned a sliver undead looking cat to her side. She grinned, "Purrfect, A cat, never done something like this before, maybe a little bit of fun, next time"

@GameytheGeemer

Storm Lily suddenly felt tears dripping down her face, her body giving up. There was a Pressure building deep within her chest, and it worsened every second. She looked at Chain Mail deeply, before collapsing. As she blacked out she whispererd a small "Thank You" and fell into a deep slumber.

"Well, that was unexpected." He said, picking up Storm Lily as he slung her over her shoulders. 

"Would you mind giving me some company while I carry her to the Medic's station doctor?" He asked Volure.

(Is okay. I personally have distracted myself with Sherlock Holmes)

Volure, jumping from her seat, began checking Storm.

"Yes, we must act quickly. Her pulse is steady..." She said, checking a point on Storm's neck.

"We need to hurry, this could be serious."

"While I doubt that it is serious, I don't argue that we need to hurry." He said, teleporting all 3 of them (4 if David Poe wants to go) to the medical bay.

"And I'd say that that was the fastest I could have gotten her here." He said, teleporting his meal from the cafeteria to him. "Granted, this would possibly be a better, and less crowded, place to eat lunch." He said, eating into his massive bowl of custard.

Volure nodded to him, laying Storm on one of the examination tables.

"Blood pressure is low... Her pupils are dialated... Other wise stable..." She said, the sudden collase of the young mare concerning.

"She'll need to rest here for a while, but she... She will be fine..." She said, sighing.

[Trevor Bright 872]

David hopped up to go with Chain Mail and Valure. He had taken an interest to this mare as soon as Poe had started talking about her not being crazy. "Right, like we're all not just a tad bit crazy anyways." He nodded at Chain Male as he teleported them to the medic's bay.

"Yes, though it would seem I have a lot of work on my hooves to get her to smile. Or at least get her to have fun." He said, drinking his shake. Now that there was no one bored he was actually indeterminable from a normal pony. "After all, she was in so much misery that I couldn't just leave her like that." He added.

"That..That is very noble of you Chain Mail." She said, smiling softly.

Storm Lily breathed lightly, her face innocent and childlike in her current state. Volure watched her carefully.

"She has always been so very alone. I worry about her. She had a hard life before she came here." Volure said, remembering what Dr. Brindle had told her.

"Why thank you doctor." He responded, "And knowing the trials and tribulations will make knowing how to put a smile on her face that much easier." He said, almost absent minded as he ate. "After all, I may have more in common with her than even I knew." He added, a plan clearly coming together in his head. "I think that everypony will love tomorrow." He said, grinning diabolically.

[Trevor Bright 872]

David finished what little food he had managed to snatch before being teleported and was starting to get bored. Walking up to Volure and Chain Mail, he sat down, looking at Chain Mail for a moment, before remembering that he had said something about the Lunar Republic earlier. Clearing his throat and hoping he wasn't interrupting anything, he addressed Chain Mail. "Hello, I'm David. You're...Chain Mail was it?"

Inside Storm Lily's mind, a very interesting situation was taking place. She was sitting in frount of them, listening.

"Can you hear me?" She said, but no sound left her mouth. Shocked, she backed up into David, fazing through him.

"Why yes, that is my name." He said, teleporting one of his spell books to his cushion in the waiting room. "Former soldier if you needed to... Yes, I can hear you. In a metaphorical sense since you're not talking."

He said, responding to the almost miraculous feat of nature going on when it happened.

"Sorry for cutting our conversation so short, but I'm sure you understand."

Jay continued to wander around the hospital. Jinx seemed to be sleeping at the moment, for which she was thankful. She wished that somepony could take the amulet off her horn so she could do magic.
