Okay so this is going to be a lot of fun! Don't worry there's more to meets the eyes in this chapter. Some of the stories will go into more dept, and will give reason. A few might seem strange at first.
Anyway Enjoy!
If there is anything overly odd, anything out of place, or anyone out of character please do tell. :3
What is this place?
Ivan swallows walking into this new place. He scrunches up his nose as the scent of new plastic molests his airways. The poorly lit atmosphere was mostly shades of grey, and the woman at the front desk seemed somewhat attractive, but that smile was a bit off. Was she afraid of him?
Interesting as it was there was something much more important on his mind. Being trapped in this place was no walk in the park. How long would it be? The question wavers in his mind longer as the light above the front desk begins to flicker.
This mental hospital wasn't going to get any better.
Ivan sighs fallowing a woman that he heard a few people call Eliz. He calmly walks by her side in hand cuffs, with his face showing no emotion. It truly represented a stone slate.
He is lead to a room. It was plain and rather boring, but it would have to do. He hears the woman say. "Now Ivan, when your sister brings in your clothing I'll give it to you for you to put away. There are also a few rules here. First, the rooms are checked randomly so don't get caught with anything or else. Second, no sexual relations with..." Her voice is no longer heard as she carries on. The Russian looks down and sees a few colored lines.
He listens in long enough to here, "Theses lines will bring you to where you have to go so you don't get lost. The green will bring you to the Cafeteria, the blue will bring you to circle time, and the orange will bring you to Doctor Williams." You have got to be kidding. Lines to fallow? Was this a mental hospital or a pre-school?
She lets him into his room. "Now remember, you cannot leave this room without permission. The bathroom is down there to the right and I will escort you when needed." She smiles brightly at him. "Have a nice day!" The statement was so sweet it could rot your teeth.
Ivan sighs and walks about the room aimlessly trying to get a feel on just what was here. There were two beds and two dressers that didn't even match. Yes, perfect for OCD isn't it? Good thing that wasn't his problem.
He looks up at the clock. "Circle time…" the scarf around his neck suddenly felt tight. Here goes nothing.
The pale boy walks down the damned blue line and looks up to see people around his age sitting in chairs in a circle. Of course, the Russian was still cuffed. So he sits down and looks about as the same female from the desk grins at him. "Hello, would you like to join us Ivan?" Is there a choice?
"Da." He looks around seeing he wasn't the only one cuffed. There was a blonde boy with piercing green eyes. Where was he from?
"So!" the woman claps her hands together. "How about we all say some things about ourselves?" How about we don't?
A kid to the right goes first. He seemed rather uncomfortable but not scared. He was very out of place. "My name is Arthur… I'm here because of my Schizophrenia. ". Ivan notes his inability to focus his eyes in one place. Also the bushy eye brows were rather distracting.
Next came someone obviously American, even if he was unfamiliar with the accents of the English language. "I'm Alfred, and I'm here b-because I binge and purge. " The blush on his face was showing the boy's embarrassment on the subject, but otherwise he seemed overall very confident.
Then there was a very cocky looking individual that also appeared albino. "Hey my name is Gilbert." He flashes a grin. "Und I am here for being too awesome!" He clears his throat. "Well actually… I'm here for attempted suicide." Well that was surprising. Now for the serious looking boy unusually close to him.
He was a blonde and blue eyed with a gaze almost as cold as the Russian's. "I am Ludwig." The accent was pretty similar to the albino's as well. "I'm here for stating an opinion. I thought this country had freedom of speech." No one questioned what, although Ivan became quite curious.
Then next to him was a much smaller individual. He was quiet, reframed from speaking, and had about as much emotion in his glance as an animal. "Herro. I am Kiku." Definitely Japanese, "and I am here for… various reasons." He did look like the type to snap, although what was his breaking point?
Then came a Spanish looking fellow with wide green eyes. "Hola." The boy chimes flashing a cheeky grin. He seemed harmless enough. "My name is Antonio, and I am here for the way I think. I like to feel powerful, like I can conquer the world." How though? Nobody here liked to give much detail, but then again it's not like Ivan himself was about to.
There was a pissed off looking fellow with crossed arms and a clear pout across his face. "My name is Lovino. Don't call me Lovi!" he hissed out that last part. "I'm here for drug abuse and selling myself." He appeared as though he didn't wasn't to be judged. There was obviously much more to his story as well.
Finally the green eyed one that was also cuffed. He looks away from everyone and stairs out the thick glassed window. "I am Bash. I'm here because I had to protect my sister. Nobody seems to understand that." Ivan smiles childishly at that. This one seems awfully neutral to everyone here.
"Ivan? … Ivan!" Ivan snaps out of his trans and looks over at the woman.
"Da?"
"Care to explain you're reason for being here?"
"Nyet, I see no reason for you to know this information."
"If I tell you my secret will you tell me yours?"
Hmmm. Fair enough. Ivan decides to play into this person's hands. "Da."
"Well my name is Francis, and I'm here to help you." Wait… Francis? So that means… "I was in a place like this myself several times growing up." He would smile at the rest of us. "I was doing some naughty things like Lovino over there, but not quite the same. " He turns to Ivan once more. "So why are you here?"
Oooo! A cliff hanger! Kinda. Hope you like it. The next chapter will actually be up tomorrow. Any complaints? Do tell. I'm here to please you guys.
