"Morning Amy!" Chelsea said looking at her friend threw her messy blonde hair.
Amy moaned. "Go away!" She quickly grabbed her pillow and tossed it over her head.
"Come on, Amy! Get up!" Chelsea said shaking her. "Today we get to meet some of the patients here at Arkham Asylum!"
"Nooooo..." Amy moaned again.
"AMY!" Chelsea yelled grabbing hold of her friend's feet and pulling. "COME ON! THIS IS OUR FIRST REAL DAY ON THE JOB AND YOU CAN'T BE SLEEPING THROUGH IT! AND WE'RE NOT ASSISTANT'S THIS TIME! WE'RE ACTUALLY GONNA HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION!"
Amy finally got up with groggly murmers and growls.
Chelsea was already dressed in a cream shirt with a white matching jacket and skirt that also came with black dress shoes. It was apparent that she was actually ready for something.
Withing about half an hour, Amy was also ready wearing the same thing.
"Ready?" Amy asked looking at Chelsea.
"Yup! For what? We don't meet the inmates for another hour."
Amy frowned. "Is there a breakfast place here? I'm hungary!"
Chelsea giggled and they both walked out of the room.
Arkham's halls weren't as frieghtening as they were at night, but they were still intimidating. The girls could see the cells clearly now. Maybe the worst feeling here is that even when there are no inmates in the cells or hallways, you still feel like someone or something is watching you.
The girls soon made it to the guard's desk again. This time it was a different one. Not much was different exept that he was a little shorter. He greeted Amy and Chelsea and showed them the way to the cafeteria.
The cafeteria was worse then the hallways. That was because the inmates were eating, too.
"Oh, boy..." Chelsea whispered as she recognized a few of them.
"Oh! Girls!"
Amy and Chelsea whipped around to see the guard running after them.
"Sorry. My name is Dan. I'll escort you girls threw the line after these... crazies are finished."
"Thanks, Dan." Amy said.
"It won't be-"
Just as Dan was about to finish his sentence, a whistle blew.
"Never mind." Dan sighed. "Girls come over here!" He grabbed the two girls as if they were ragdolls and pulled them aside. "You never know what kind of a rush they'd be in after breakfast." Dan warned again.
Soon the doorway was flooding with the inmates. Four or five at at time crowded threw the open doors. Many of them both Amy and Chelsea recognized, such as the Joker, Two-Face, and Killer Croc. Only because it's kind of hard to miss them. Some of the others niether of them could tell because they either didn't have thier costumes on or they just never seen them before.
"Alright, looks like they're done." Dan said checking threw the doors again. "Now, how's about you girls getting something to eat. I'll be waiting over here so that once you're done, I can introduce you to the commoners."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The clock struck noon before the girl's were ready to leave. Both of them were sort of nervous to meet them for one reason or another, but they knew they had to get it over with.
"What takes girls so long to eat these days!" Dan jokingly yelled at them.
The girls faked a giggle.
"I think we're ready now." Amy answered and Chelsea nodded.
"Good! This way please." Dan said getting up from the old oak desk and grabbing a set of keys from off the grey brick wall.
The halls seemed really cold for some reason or another. The brick was covered in some spots with cobwebs. Dust coverd the floors of the Asylum. Threw each wing the group passed, diffrent kinds of doors and locks were noticed. This showed were each inmate ranked. The more secure ones showed most likely, the regulars, while others were for newer inmates.
Soon they reached one door guarded by three younger guards. Each one held a gun.
'That's reasurring!' Chelsea thought to herself. She could see it in Amy's eyes that she thought the same thing.
"Hey boys!" Dan yelled to the other guards. "I just need to introduce these ladies here to the inmates."
The guards backed away slowly and unlocked the door.
It was somewhat quieter then what the psychologists had in mind. In fact, not much noise was made at all. Most of Gotham's insanes were either talking quietley amongst each other, playing different board games like chess, or reading.
When the guard with the two girls walked in, all stopped what they were doing to look up and see who was there. Soon, the whole room was discussing who these strangers were.
