For reviewing! An', KATHLEEN, a glomping can be arranged. Also I put ol' TZ in here for you. ;] Also, apersonfromflorida, I put a group therapy session in here, too~! So, more cookies for everyone who reviewed! An' the lucky winner will get a total of five cookies (if they reviewed on Chapter 2)!
P.S.
I really didn't think I needed to say this, but to anon (with a lowercase 'A') I understand how you feel about this being sort of wrong, I actually did do research on Mental Hospitals, but I changed the one in the story to fit it's plotline. If you are going to critique me, I don't take too kindly to Anon reviews because it's really kind of mean of me to put this in the Author's Note, but I had no other way to contact you. So, either get an account so I can PM you or leave your critiques to yourself (this means everyone).
Anywaaays~! Read an' Review! Byyyes~! :3
~Author's Note End~
The screaming… It from a…
T.V.
Sollux was a little embarrassed. He just barged into someone else's room, thinking they were dying or something. Worst of all, it was a girl's room. She gave him a sideways glance, and he saw the girl was wearing red pointed sunglasses, somewhat similar to his own red and blue sunglasses. For some reason she cackled. "Hehehe! So, why are you bursting in here like that? Running from something?"
He shook his head, "No, jutht bored ath hell. Don't you think that TV"th too loud?"
The girl shook her head, and her light brown hair moved with the motion. "I wouldn't know, sometimes I can't hear it that well, so I turn it up. The volume button tastes the best!"
Sollux tried to register her words. "Wait… can you not thee?"
Again, the girl cackled, "Of course I can't see, dumbass*!"
A nurse then kindly knocked on the door and said, "It's time for group therapy, Terezi," in a sing-song voice. Sollux could've sworn it was Jane. The girl got up from her place in a chair in front of the television and walked through the door. 'Wow, for a blind girl she sure has surprising accuracy,' he thought. He followed the blind girl to the Rec Room, and went inside figuring that this was group therapy.
Most of the seats in the room were full, but Sollux managed to find one next to that Eridan guy from earlier. When he took his seat and everyone else filed into the room and took their seats as well, a man in front of the room said with a heavy English accent, "Well, hello there, I'm Jake English, and the only reason I'm saying this is because I see we have a new face here. What's your name, kid?" He looked directly at Sollux who answered with a shaky, "Tholluckth Captor," Great. Now he sounded like a lisping idiot in front of all of his fellow patients.
Jake nodded in approval and gestured to the person sitting next to him. It was a girl with long dark blue hair - it looked to be dyed - with one of the lenses on her glasses completely black and a bored expression on her face. "Why don't we introduce ourselves to Sollux and tell him why we're here! First and last names, please! Vriska, why don't you go first?" he looked to the blue haired girl next to him.
She gave a long, irritable sigh before standing up and saying, Vriska Serket. I'm here because my parents were stupid enough to think that I did drugs and that the drugs influenced me to kill someone." Again another irritable sigh as Vriska took her seat.
Next up was Eridan. "Hello Commoner," he made a slight scowl towards Sollux, "I'm stuck in this juvvenile prison because my father, the greatly famous Dualscar, thinks that I'm screwwed up in the head." Jake looked as though he was going to protest, but politely held his tongue.
It was then Sollux's turn… Oh, god. "Uh.. You know my name already tho… I have schizophrenia, tho I hear voitheth. I altho have bipolar dithorder and OTheeD. He sat down and for some reason felt as though a huge weight was lifted off of his shoulders.
Next to Sollux was a girl with long black hair and goggles. For some reason, she looked very anxious. "Hello Sollux! My name is Feferi Peixes! I'm so glubbing happy to meet you! Um, anyways, my mom put me in this cod awful place because I have dysmorphic disorder… Oh cod how I really hate my eyes. Oh, and my fingers… They're just so glubbing ugly…" she continued to mumble to herself as the next person started.
"It is good to meet you. I am Equius Zahhak," Something about this guy really crept Sollux out. For a couple of reasons, this guy's hair was kind of on the long side and really black, his sunglasses were practically shattered, and most of his teeth were broken. Not to mention the fact that he spoke in a whisper-like voice. "The reason why I am in here is because I have bulimia nervosa so I tend to over eat and… Exercise too much afterwards."
A very excite girl jumped up after he took his sear. " Hello Pawllux! My name is Nepeta Leijon, and I think what I have is delirium. After this we should role-play with some of my friends, okay?" she took her seat excitedly and sat like she was a cat.
It was Tavros's turn, and to tell you the truth he was not too thrilled about it. "Uh… I'm Tavros Nitram, your, uh, roommate. I was diagnosed with, delirium as well, and also I, have the trauma from, the accident with my legs." He looked a little pale after his short contribution to the introductions.
She gave a small smirk as she stood up and said, "I'm Terezi Pyrope! I'm blind and my parents put me in here when I started to lick things and 'claimed' that colors were yummy even though I was telling the truth. Okay, you next Karkles!" She said as she sat down and "looked" to Karkat.
Karkat scowled at the nickname. "I'm Karkat Vantas, and I don't know why I have to give you, a huge fuckass, the overpowering honour of knowing my name and my issues, but here I am." Yet another scowl, but this time in Sollux's direction. "My fuckassed parents put me in here because apparently I have 'temper issues' and I've tried suicide and I've cut myself like seventeen fucking times." He sat down and kept wearing that same irritated scowl on his face.
A very familiar stoned clown stood up, "Hey brother. I'm all glad you are all motherfucking here because I'm really sure that's an immense miracle in itself. Anyways, I'm Gamzee Makara, your best motherfucking friend, and my conceiver put me in this institution for mental miracles because she thought it would all up and help me to stop taking motherfucking miracle drugs and stuff." His stoned way of talking was a little hard to understand, but Sollux eventually got the message.
The last person, who was on the other side of Jake, was a girl with very short dark brown hair, a very formal-looking attire, and jade green lipstick decorating her mouth. When she spoke, it was full of a large vocabulary and elaborate wording, "My name is Kanaya Maryam, and it is a pleasure to make you acquaintance, Sollux. I really do regret to inform you that I am in this mental rehabilitation center because I have a somewhat extreme case of OCD and I have also tried to cut my life short because of this issue and others frequently pestering me over it." Kanaya finished with a small huff and patiently took her seat.
"Well, everyone! That was jolly good! And this was quite time consuming, so I'm going to let you all go early. Have a great rest of the week, and please all of you attend your personal therapy appointments this week if you have not already. Dirk is such a nice guy, so please respect him!"
All of the patients began to walk out the door, and Sollux was still pondering what to do with the rest of the day. Well, he could always bother KK.
This is my Glossary-type thingy!
"Of course I can't see, dumbass!" - One of Terezi's quotes
Schizophrenia - "a mental disorder characterized by a breakdown of thought processes and by poor emotional responsiveness.[1] It most commonly manifests itself as auditory hallucinations, paranoid or bizarre delusions, or disorganized speech and thinking, and it is accompanied by significant social or occupational dysfunction."
Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) - a disorder where the person hates a certain part or parts of their body and (sometimes) goes through many plastic surgeries to fix the trait/s that they hate
Bulimia Nervosa - similar to anorexia, but still a little different. It's when someone overeats and either forces themselves to vomit or they exercise a lot (probably almost or to the point of passing out) to shed the extra carbs
Delirium - "a common and severe neuropsychiatric syndrome with core features of acute onset and fluctuating course, attentional deficits and generalized severe disorganization of behavior. It typically involves other cognitive deficits, changes in arousal (hyperactive, hypoactive, or mixed), perceptual deficits, altered sleep-wake cycle, and psychotic features such as hallucinations and delusions."
OCD or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder - "a personality disorder characterized by a pervasive pattern of preoccupation with orderliness, perfectionism, and mental and interpersonal control at the expense of flexibility, openness, and efficiency."
[EDIT] Thanks to UndyingUmbra who informed me that some of my definitions were incorrect. I have changed some of them, and everything that is in parentheses I have gotten from Wikipedia, therefore, they are not mine and no credit for them goes to me.
These are all my own definitions after looking these up, so if there's something you find wrong please let me know and I'll change it.
Also! I'm sure you noticed, but Aradia was not in this chapter! Don't worry, she plays a bigger part so she wasn't in this chapter, and she is not even in the hospital or will be. Just to let you know ;] And, Meenah and Aranea will make an appearance because I really think they're cool!
