A/N: Okay, I have everyone I need. I changed the teacher because I'm changing the plot of the story slightly. I do know what I'm doing though. So, here's the cast list with a little bit about the people in my own words. I am only going to put up a little bit for the newsies, as I think everyone has a good idea of what they're like. I'll go in order of time period, occupation, and then alphabetically by last name. This means that I'll start with the 1900s and the doctors. Oh, and if you have a problem with anything that has to do with your character, e-mail me.

Doctor Lawrence Foster- The most quiet doctor, he's always seen with a cigarette in his mouth. He's been nicknamed Bumlets, although it's not known why. The only other thing known about him is that he has some kind of relationship with Nurse Callan.

Doctor Paul Meyers- Curly brown hair, brown eyes, and an extremely optimistic personality give this unusual doctor the nickname Mush. He's extremely polite and tries to make the patients as comfortable as possible.

Doctor Harrison Montgomery- With brown hair and glasses, the other doctors have nicknamed him Specs. He is one of the more serious doctors with very little family ties. He doesn't approve of the consorting of the other doctors with nurses and patients.

Doctor Carl Nolan- Known to the other doctors and the nurses as Blink, Carl Nolan has dirty blonde hair and an eye patch over his left eye. He's almost always found laughing. His only problem is that he's a bit of a horn dog, carrying on affairs with nurses and patients alike.

Nurse Saiorse Callan- As stated before, she was in a relationship with Bumlets. At 5'10, she has long dark brown hair and one blue eye, one purple. This is how she got her nickname, Fae. She's a loyal friend, but if you get on her bad side, you'll stay there. She's also very opinionated.

Nurse Lily Carson- She has blonde hair that goes to her shoulder. Killed in the slaughter, she is one of the many ghosts that haunt the old insane asylum. She was and is a bitter person and the only time she was happy was when she was flirting.

Nurse Sarah Jacobs- Another nurse killed in the slaughter, she has light brown hair. While she was supposed to be watching the patients, she was outside smoking and flirting with a doctor from another ward. When she came back, she was murdered.

Nurse Rachel Vindetta- When she gets mad, she'll try to wring a person's neck. This has given her the nickname Wringer in the asylum. She doesn't like touchy feely people, which makes it weird that she's going out with Mush. She's got a 1 ½ inch scar on her left cheekbone.

Logan Everett- Nicknamed Itey, Logan visited the asylum to see his girlfriend, Lark. After about a year and a half, he moved into the asylum himself with a case of agoraphobia so severe that he rarely left his room. Even though he's dead, he still refuses to leave the asylum.

Marty Haswell- Better known as Crutchy, obviously because he has a crutch. He seems normal, except for the fact that he has catalepsy. He has curly reddish-brown hair. He works hard to cheer up the other patients.

Jack Kelly- His name is Francis Sullivan, but he's got multiple personality disorder. As Jack Kelly, he's charming and outgoing. He's loyal and tries to be everyone's protector. As Francis Sullivan, he's anti-social and a cold-blooded killer. Both personalities are obsessed with Santa Fe. The two personalities have separated into different ghosts.

Danielle Kempert- Dani to most people, her friends call her Hollywood. She was a patient at JPIA because she was a pyromaniac who heard voices. Her face, arms, legs, and hands are covered in burn marks and her curly blonde hair is singed. The 18 year old killed herself on the same day that everyone else was murdered.

Saralynn Rose Mullinax- At the age of 14, her parents threw her in the asylum because she was schizophrenic. Itey is the only person who can bring Lark back from her mood swings.

Mary Porter- The youngest person in the asylum at 9, she's got blonde hair that is always in pigtails. They haven't named her mental illness yet, but she is always trying to scratch herself to get at the bugs inside of her. This is why her body is covered in scratches.

Jessa Rhian- Stress was sent to the asylum after she tried to commit suicide by hanging herself. She tried to kill herself because of "Mickey", the voice inside her head. Her and Jack have had a thing going on pretty much since the day she came in.

Maxwell Sampson- Nicknamed Booky because he loves to read and has an excellent memory, his parents forced him into the asylum because of his spells. He would be fine most of the time, but at odd times he would go into a catatonic state.

Those are the doctors, nurses, and patients of Joseph Pulitzer Insane Asylum. Now here's the 2006 cast.

Spot Conlon- Spot teaches parapsychology at NYU. He is cocky and is known for being a womanizer by the other faculty members. He's had affairs with two of the students in his class. His dirty blonde hair and piercing grey eyes have made him very appealing to the opposite sex.

Mindi Rosenburg- She is with the group because she's a well-known psychic. Spot called her in to check out the asylum. Even though she's well-known, she's still afraid of her visions. She doesn't know if she'll see anything at the asylum, but she's hoping she won't.

Mercedes Castillo- Her Hispanic heritage and her quick temper have earned her the nickname Spitfire. Living in a small town where her ancestry was looked down upon, she quickly learned to use sarcasm as a defense. She has fiery red hair to match her temper and hazel eyes.

Bailey Dalton- Skyler has come to the New York college to get as far away from her divorced parents as possible. She's carefree, outgoing, and talkative. She's short at 5'4 with sandy hair and light brown eyes. She likes to wear her hair in a ponytail and wears a cross necklace.

Lauren Doyle- Pretty much everyone calls her Logic. She is 5'6 with curly red hair that goes about mid-back. She likes to gossip and she likes to read. While a little quiet at first, she easily opens up. She also doesn't take criticism too well and doesn't like to be wrong.

Anthony Higgins- Racetrack got his nickname from his love of gambling and his constant visits to the racetracks. While he's shorter then most of the guys at 5'6, he's taller than his girlfriend, Spitfire, by three inches. He matches his girlfriend in the sarcasm area.

David Jacobs- More book smart then street smart, he doesn't have a nickname. When people first meet him, the first thought they get is that he's a goody two-shoes. He shuns the limelight, preferring to be the brains behind the operations backstage if he can help it.

Samantha Keller- At 5'4, she has curly brown hair and light brown eyes. She is pretty laid-back, but she tends to give her opinion, even when no one wants it. She bottles up her feelings inside and hides them by joking around. Skip just recently started dating Skittery.

Charles Pulitzer- A descendant of the famous Joseph Pulitzer, he is extremely arrogant. He doesn't believe the saying about how money can't buy happiness. He believes that he's entitled to whatever he wants and flirts with all of the girls in the class, much to the annoyance of their boyfriends.

Harilia Sampson- She's been nicknamed Singer because she has been in every musical that her schools have performed. She's egotistical and stuck-up. The complete opposite of her boyfriend, the others wonder what David sees in her.

Victor Torres- Drinking coffee has made him so jumpy that he's now called Skittery. While his girlfriend is laid-back, he's extremely uptight and pessimistic. Skip has been trying to get him out of his shell, but it's been hard work.

Now that I've got through the difficult task of writing a little bit about everyone, I'll move on to chapter one.

Chapter One: Haunted Insane Asylums and Batty Psychics

NYU: October 26th, 2006

It was twenty minutes after their Parapsychology class had ended and still the ten students were sitting in their desks. They were all looking at Professor Conlon, who was standing next to an odd-looking lady. She had hair so blonde that it was almost white and pale blue eyes. She was so thin that her clothes looked like they were for someone three times her size. The clothes themselves were so old-fashioned, they looked like they came out of one of the student's grandparents' attic. It was hard to believe that the woman was the same age as their professor at 26.

Professor Conlon cleared his throat as he looked at his watch, "All right, let's get to business. The woman standing beside me is Mindi Rosenburg. I'm sure that most of you guys have heard about her. She's been in a lot of books about their paranormal because of her work. She will be joining us on a little class project that we'll be doing. Now, I've chosen you ten because you are the best in the class, please don't make me regret it. We will be going to the Joseph Pulitzer Insane Asylum. Now, who here has heard about that and can tell me something about it?"

Half of the group raised their hands and Spot chose Skip to call on. She leaned forward as she talked, "Joseph Pulitzer Insane Asylum? Isn't that the place where the supposed slaughter occurred?"

Spot nodded his head as he leaned against his desk, "Yes, and when is it supposed to have happened and what is said to have gone on, Victor?"

Skittery frowned as he thought for a moment, "Well, according to the stories, it happened on Halloween in 1900. Nobody knows for sure what went on, but the number of dead is pretty clear. Eight of the staff were killed and twenty patients. Nobody can agree on who the murderer is or how each person died."

Smiling, the professor looked around the room, "That's right. Mercedes, can you add anything else?"

Mercedes answered as she doodled on her notebook, "Well, it's supposed to be haunted, although that can't be confirmed. Pretty much anybody who has gone in has either died in the asylum or been killed in a weird accident of some kind shortly afterwards. That is, if you believe the stories. In some, there's only one ghost and in others there is thirty ghosts haunting the place. Nobody's supposed to be allowed in the place now, except I heard that two girls went missing there just last week."

Professor Conlon was clearly pleased that his students knew even that much, "Good good, now all of that is true. I've got special permission for us to go in, though. Now, we'll be going in two days on Wednesday the 28th. We'll be coming back on the 1st. I've cleared this with all of your other professors. Any questions?"

Skyler raised her hand, "I've got a question. Don't you have a problem with going into a place where everyone who has gone in has died?"

Spot shook his head with a small smile, "No, I think we'll be fine. All those stories are probably just rumors. I'm sure there's nothing to worry about."

A/N: I know it's short, but I guess I just wanted to get out a little bit of info. The chapters will certainly get longer, I promise. Like I said in the beginning, if anyone doesn't like what I'm doing with their characters they can e-mail me or private message me. This chapter is for Wringer since she told me to write soon and here it is. The same day she sent it. Sorry again that there isn't enough room for Kinlee.
