Good evening! My name is Adele Cerletti, and I've recently been appointed director of Template State Psychiatric Hospital. Now, I know people immediately get wary when they hear the words "psychiatric" and "hospital" in the same sentence, but let me assure you that I have no plans to commit any of you

They said there were no white rooms here.

[crossestobear]

Well, white is a very popular color for rooms. [smile]

[puritaniaa]

Why do you put people in those rooms when they're not even sick? I'm not going back there.

[crossestobear]

You had a bad experience, I take it?

Honey, no one is going to take you away. I've only ever committed patients who wanted to hurt themselves, or other people. The only thing I want to do is help all of you settle down more comfortably.

[sevenxsorrows]

You have fun with that.

[crossestobear]

It's not so much fun as rewarding.

May I ask your name?

[sevenxsorrows]

... Why?

[crossestobear]

Out of curiosity. I like meeting new people.

[vi952]

Don't make me laugh. Nothing you can say to us 'refugees' can make us feel better in this place. Especially when you're talking to someone who can't feel in the first place. Nice try, though, you might actually get some suckers to talk to you.

[Yea, Wei's only a little bitter he lost his job. :'D;;]

[crossestobear]

You'd be surprised. It's my job to make people feel better.

Can't feel? What do you mean by that?

[vi952]

I doubt Template can surprise me anymore.

Either way I'm a Contractor, not a human. I gave up my emotions and conscious for my contract. Have been that way for almost eleven years now.

[crossestobear]

I see.

Well, if you'd given up your consciousness, you wouldn't be talking to me at the moment, would you?

[humallelujah]

And what makes you think that any of us want counseling?

[crossestobear]

Well, some people might. Of course, you don't have to do anything you don't want to, but oftentimes people don't admit to those they're close to that they're considering any sort of professional help.

[humallelujah]

[Just... bursts out laughing.]

There's some things that I don't think someone like you can help.

[crossestobear]

You'd be surprised at some of the things I've seen.

[deviousintent]

If we're refugees, what are we hiding from?

[crossestobear]

Honestly, I don't know. I don't really like calling you "refugees", but it's the name the Mayor gave you, so there isn't much I can do.

[deviousintent]

You could not listen to her.

[crossestobear]

I could, but I'm sure she wouldn't like it if I did that.
