And now starts the kicking. Kick him in the nuts. Repeatedly. Appear to be attempting to check the urban legend of whether you can kill someone with nervous system overload by kicking them in the nuts too many times too quickly with the speed and number of your kicks.

By virtue of hearing us, dear, you're quite crazy. However, that's not a bad thing by itself. It's how you approach it.

"I'm not... crazy... I'm... can't..."

I can't feel him breathing.

>>126980

Find the key!

>>126980

...did you kill him?

Do you know how to do resuscitation breathing... if not it involves kissing him and then breathing into him a few times to get him going (remember to close the nose first!)

Open the airway by tilting his head backwards. He should not have spinal problems, since you didn't snap his spine.

Give 2 breath, then do 30 rounds of chest compression... Or was it 5? The new guidelines are a little hazy. Thats OK, because he is probably waiting for you to kiss him.

>>126980
Stop choking him as soon as he goes limp. Check to make sure he's starts breathing again.

Well, see that little favicon on top of the page? No? Too meta? My bad. Well, we thought you found a ring on the street. After you found it, you seemed to be able to hear us.

Alright, doll, let's get a few things sorted. I want to hear about your gender, your physical sex, and the current decade. Go.

What does the staff of the asylum say you have?

Do they talk to you at all? Do they even show up?

>>129019
Crazy or not, at least you're coherent. That's a start. We could work with this, possibly get you out.

Chew through your ties. Pretend they're jerky.

>>129019
Well we should be able to get you out. With us helping you, you should be able to convince the docs that you're in fact not crazy. Just keep quiet and inform us of what they think is wrong with you, atleast until someone employed there shows up.

>>129051
It could be the whole "taking advice from disembodied voices" thing.

>>129020
A ring on the street? I don't have any clue what you're talking about, I haven't been out of here in 8 years or so.

>>129029
I'm a boy! I think... wait... ok, yeah. I'm a boy. I forget sometimes. The decade? Oh! It's uhm... it's 1925. I asked him last month and he said it was '25.

>>129034
>>129051
>>129031
They show up everyday to give me pills and sometimes they ask me questions. They haven't said why I was here and when I ask them things they use words I don't understand. I just hate it here, I'm tired of being around crazy people. I wish I could go back to my family... but they're dead...

Well... that clears things up. 1925 would not care about infection control, so nurses forcing pills by sticking them into your mouth would do.

However, there are no male nurses in 1925. A porter then? A family member?

I am pretty certain that psychoactive medication did not come about until the 1960s. Nor did electroconvulsive therapy or any other treatment for mood disorders. ...

I am stymied. Perhaps infection control is particularly bad in that hospital...

Problem is, asylum went out of favor in 19th century. Thats 1800s.

>>129661
Considering the fact that he has been in here 8 years.. yet he was 'kidnapped/assaulted" only this year in the street I am inclined to believe our perception of time is somewhat... faulty.

A most puzzling conundrum... not all we see can be truth... or at least.. not all at the same time.

>>129670
Flashbacks. Desmond is having flashbacks to that one day when he was abducted.

Honestly? You should stay here. If you got out you would have no way of getting a job and would get in a fatal fight or just starve to death.

>>129586
You do know that you can induce vomiting to get the pills out of your system right? And the next time they come to ask you questions just follow our lead and we should be able to get you out in a few months.

>>129586
What month is it, beautiful? We're just a bit lost, you know? Bit like a shamus without any clues, you know?

And, what happened eight years ago to send you to the big house?

>>129818
Perhaps he was caught dressing like a woman?

I tried throwing up the pills before but they just gave me shots instead.

>>129818
My parents and my sister died 8 years ago in a huge factory fire. I can't remember much from back then, I just know that I've been here almost ever since it happened. I think the month is... June maybe? It's pretty warm outside when they let me go to the courtyard.

*KnockKnock*
>"Desmond, honey, are you awake?"

Oh, it's the nurse! She's one of the nice ones. What should I do?

>>131676
say "Just a second", then put your goddamn shirt back on you harlot, then say "Come in."

>>131676
miiiight want to slip your clothes back on. Or off. I dunno.

>>131676
So then... all that Lawrence stuff was a dream?

Uhmmm... psychoactive drug in the form of shot...

Gee, you probably is getting some antipsychotic. This means two things. They think you either have bipolar disorder and is on your maniac phase, or you are psychotic.

>>131748

Or maybe it's 1925 and the only thing they know about insanity is "keep giving them morphine until they shut up."

>>131701
Well you have to hide the fact that you're throwing up peelz. Anyway, put your clothes in order and tell her that you're awake. And now comes the important part, whatever happens you need to stay calm and cooperative. You need to make sure that they understand that you're not crazy.

Goddammit can't you guys understand? He's there because he's a crossdresser(and gay). For them it's a mental disorder.

...though he IS hearing voices...

>>131969
If it was that simple I think he could have faked being cured a long time ago. But yeah the voices is hardly a sign of sanity. Still, we should be able to get him out, tricking doctors at this point in time should be something we can manage.

>>131986
Tricking doctors? Man, probably all patients once said "oh im cured can i go outside now". You really think we can fool them?

>>132001
Not at once no. But if we keep at it we might get through it.

Wait a bit. Family dead since 8 years ago in an alledged factory fire. Desmond being locked up for 8 years.

Desmond, is there something you would like to tell us about your family?

>>131676
Leave the shirt open, stretch out on the bed. Give her some bedroom eyes. If you're nice, and she's nice, maybe she'll open up to you, tell you the news, or something that might help put things into perspective.

Also, as a memory booster shot..
>>122955 THIS is what happened to the ring.

>"Dessie, I've got your breakfast. It's your favorite, toast and eggs."

Oooh, I love toast and eggs...

Have breakfast. So we are auditory hallucinations. Good to know.


So... do you have periods where you don't move at all for a long time?

>>132349
Now calm down. Breathe slowly and at an even interval. Put your clothes in order and give the friendly nurse a smile. Tell her that you would love some breakfest and that you're feeling better now. You just had a very bad dream and it was making you upset.

Ok, I'll go exploring! The staff here is pretty stupid most of the time so I think I might be able to get around for a while if I'm careful. Here's a map of what I know... it's not much.

The room sounds empty... oh! It's unlocked too! This is great! Let's see... there are some papers on the desk and a bunch of bookshelves and file cabinets on the right side. Those probably won't do me much good though.

Rifle through his desk and the papers looking for something that would utterly humiliate him and/or convince the nice nurse that he's a horrible man, then hand them off to the nice nurse and tell her that you just want somebody to explain why you're here in terms you can understand.
You know how you can't read? Well, we can. Take a look at the desk and we'll tell you what we can see.

Now, I *think* what's going on is that you have some kind of split personality. If you can remember what words they said we might be able to piece together why, and once we know why we can convince them they're wrong.

Look at the syringe more closely. Any signs of use?

I don't think we should take the syringe. If we walk around with a weapon things are not going to go well for us.

Leave the skin mag upside down on one of the chairs for the guests, and leave a random piece of paper on it.

Hey, that's the April issue of Buxom Beauts! The centerfold is Karolyn, who has the world's largest natural cup size (Double J's).

Eh, what the heck, take the syringe anyway. It'll probably come in handy. Make sure it's capped, though. Don't want it to stab you by accident.

Don't take the syringe, take the porn mag (keep it hidden though), and a couple of blank notes. Get a pen if you can.
