The mentally insane.

Treated like lepers by those who claim to love them, the ones who beg them to receive treatment to correct their “bent” mental state. These so-called insane persons were, at one point of their lives, average human beings and by the standards of today’s society, considered to be sane. Then something happened. Something that caused the fine structures they built their lives around, the very foundation on which they had built their lives upon, to come crashing down around their ears with a deafening noise. Suddenly, they were no longer sane; they were a danger to society and must be treated, perhaps even cured, of their “ailments”, of their insanity - to have their sanity restored.

But what is sanity? Is it a picture that’s been painted by the higher authorities, drilled into our heads over the last thousand years by those with careful hands and strategic minds? Or is it the way that everyone wishes the world to be? What if the insane are really the only sane beings on the planet and the ones who claim to be in the right mental state are truly lost, enveloped so deeply into the illusion cast around them that there is no way to draw them out? Is it possible that the ones who have escaped the clutches of sanity are on the right side of the line, the ones who have seen the light and tasted the glory of the real world? Or are they truly as crazy as society paints them to be? Are the insane really insane or have they just come to their true senses?

Welcome to City of Delusion, otherwise known as Deliramenti Asylum for the Mentally Insane. Not only is it the most prestigious mental hospital in the state of Washington, but it is quickly becoming the most popular asylum in the United States, nonetheless the Western Hemisphere. Before the fire that spread throughout the hospital, claiming two of the wings and the maximum security cells, the institution was already well known. Established in 1966 by Dr. Reginald Davenport just outside the city of Seattle, Washington, the Deliramenti Asylum for the Mentally Insane started off as a rather small hospital, consisting of only twelve patients. But as the success stories of his patients grew to be known by the public, more started to pour in through the doors. Soon, grants were received and put to good use. The asylum’s fame, as well as Dr. Davenport’s, skyrocketed and continued onward until the hospital became the place it is today, consisting of three floors and an innumerable amount of wings, wards, and rooms. It was a prestigious place, having a lovely reputation for the honest and hardworking psychologists who connected with their patients, made it their life to make sure that everyone in Deliramenti received the same treatment.

The hospital was well on its way to becoming the most recommended asylum in the United States when disaster struck. A horrible fire consumed two of the wings as well as the maximum security unit. The fire was so large, so out of control, that the entire hospital was forced to evacuate the building until the blazing fire could be extinguished. However, when the nurses and doctors were checking the roster, they noticed one very alarming thing: a good lot of the patients were missing; some of them were obviously killed in the fire, as nothing could have saved them, even if they tried, but most of the inmates managed to escape. As if the fire wasn’t the worst of their problems, it was soon discovered that almost all of the escapees were the residents of the maximum security ring, the truly twisted and deliciously insane persons who had a thirst for blood and a penchance for evil in the eyes of society.

Only a few days after the fire, Dr. Davenport dropped dead. It seemed that his death was from the forces of nature, but the fire? Oh no, the police hired to investigate the scene soon learned that the fire was intentionally set, that it was arson. But who was the arsonist and why hadn’t the information been leaked to the press? The news of the escapees already had and panic was consuming the city of Seattle; it was no wonder why the police didn’t want that sort of information available for public knowledge - imagine the effect it would have upon the city at large! Soon, Deliramenti Asylum was back in order. Though it was chaotic, all the patients had rooms to stay in and the hospital was running as smoothly as ever. Leadership of Deliramenti passed into the experienced hands of one Dr. William Korsakov, a famed Russian psychologist who could do no wrong. He seemed like the perfect fit for the Head of the Asylum. Things continued normally: patients were admitted, treated and released like clockwork. The asylum was constantly in the headlines, which only caused their fame and their fortune to skyrocket, just as it had in the early days of the establishment.

It has been a year since the fire tore through Deliramenti Asylum. There are still escapees on the run, using their clever albeit detached minds to evade capture. A task force has been established to help bring in the criminals. And it seems that the press and police force are just one step away from working together to solve the mystery of Deliramenti Asylum: everyone who is anyone knows that the fire was not an accident and that something needed to be done to round up all the escapees, who were continuously reeking havoc on Seattle, causing an inflation in crime. The only question that remains is how far are those of the press and police force willing to go to unlock the secrets behind the infamous Deliramenti Asylum for the Mentally Insane. Are they willing to risk their lives, their reputations, their sanity? One taste of delusion and you come back for more. Just take one step over the line, break the boundaries of sanity and cross into the CITY OF DELUSION. One taste of delusion and you come back for more.

"My name? Oh... it's not really safe to say now, is it? Sorry. But it's best to stay anonymous
when you're talking about things like this; particularly as my house was broken into last week.
I'm not feeling sorry for myself, not by far; it happened to my friend too. The crime rate started
to shoot up here in London in about 2010 and it just kept going. The authorities can't really
handle it. Why don't we move? Because it's the same everywhere else; London just happens to
be where I stay. So many people are mugged near me now and there was even a murder only
five minutes from where I stay. It's unsafe and I can't even let my kids out of the house. I mean,
there was once a time where I could stroll down the street without clutching my kids' hands and
holding my handbag tight to my chest in case someone should try and grab it."

Imagine crime shooting up to a ridiculous level. Imagine being
afraid to walk down the street. Imagine the breaking of the law
around you every day. Imagine the authorities losing control.
Imagine the punk movement's utter dream and your worst nightmare.
You my friend, are imagining 2013.

THEY ARE THE GOLDEN AND THE CHOSEN

An acceptance letter has arrived to Monroe College an academic achievement and the key to a thousand doors, but maybe, just maybe a mixed blessing worth thinking over...

Situated in Northern California, just slightly inland from a long row of pristine beach land, lies one of the country's most prestigious universities: Monroe University. Founded by descendants of President James Monroe, the university has everything from its own private stretch of beach to world wide reputation for academic excellence. Monroe University is as elite and competitive as one might imagine it to be and stands among the most prestigious Ivy League Institutions.

On the surface, Monroe looks perfect: All the history of the East Coast Ivy League with the endless summers of West Coast paradise. Prestigious buildings, decorated professors, and the white sanded shores of Northern California sounds too good to be true, right?



Delve a little further into the exclusive, glamorous world of Monroe and a trail of mystery emerges, centered around the elusive Graves and Roses, the most elite and powerful secret society on this particular coast. Everyone who's anyone is a member, but then again they'd never tell you. Freshmen are just dying to get in... literally.

Last year, tragedy struck Monroe when alleged Graves and Roses member Aaron Teegarden was killed in a car accident. Although nothing was ever made official, rumors circulated the campus that there was more to his death than was ever made public. His little brother joining the Graves and Roses quelled rumors momentarily, but Aaron's devastated girlfriend, ex-campus sweetheart, doesn't seem to sleep anymore and his best friend, a journalism major, keeps digging and not too quietly.

Across campus, at the Sigma Pi Fraternity House, a freshman scholarship student named Anna Tate was found naked and unconscious after a raucous social mixer. Supposedly, she reported to the police that the fraternity president and three of the high ranking members had raped her. It would have been a matter of he said, she said if not for her blood work revealing an incriminating mixture of drugs. Strangely, a week later all charges were dropped. Did old money change hands?

The idea of class action needs redefining when one considers the rumors that a tenured professor has had indiscretions with more than one of his nubile Freshman students. No one ever seems to give the incoming Freshmen a word of warning. Tenure, after all, means untouchable.

Silence is golden in and out of the classroom. The Graves and Roses are so quiet members are hard to identify beyond the obviously wealthy suspects. The fraternities and sororities know how to draw ranks faster than a military formation. There's no such thing as free press either with the University newspaper having faculty on staff. Rumors, gossip, and, of course, overheard whispers are the most reliable forms of truth.

Believe the campus myths if you choose to or else take Monroe at face value, the playground of the privileged where bright young things party, study and above all, cause scandal.

celebrities and gods seem to translate very well. there are some canons that are famous, but also i've found that characters like the muses make excellent famous singers and the like.

Oohh, well, i think we fit a lot of your requirements. We'd be glad to have you on our site! We're still a bit new, and new members are a blessing! ^-^

herro! maybe FI is your place? we're a real life crime drama based in an AU detroit [it's detroit but set up to fit the board] in modern time. we've got three crime families to choose from and plenty of canons if you so choose to take one. we're rated R just to make sure that we don't get into any trouble and we're a small but flourishing community. i don't know if you would consider a 550 word minimum post requirement as advanced or challenging but there are quite a few of us on the board who can do much more than that should it strike out fancy. so feel free to drop by and check us out. i'm happy to answer questions on the board or here, either way.

Detroit. Already one of the most infamous and dangerous cities in the world. One wouldn't think that it would be possible for this city to become even more so, but it has.

For years, the Colombians, Italians, and Russians had all held a shaky truce while they attempted to take their control over the city. Each 'gang' had their own specialty and each one was trying to rub out the other in subtle ways. The Colombian Cartel ran the best drugs, the Russian Mob had the best weapons and the Italian Mafia held great power in the city government. Unfortunately, they were always at war. One man, a great and respected leader from the old days, stepped up to bring peace to the city and offered a way to make the best of their strengths and weaknesses. Together, the three leaders from the three families and the revered leader were going to turn things around at a summit meeting in downtown Detroit. What happened then, no one can honestly tell you.

Dead.

It was all over the news for weeks. The one that they called the Don was found dead in his hotel room the day before the meeting when all of the families and their people were in town and on edge. With such a loss to their last hope, it seems that everyone is pointing the finger at the other. The police just blamed the families and their war but the families are blaming one another. Who could have done this? The Colombians? Well, of course they want to own the drug world but what would they do with the whole city? The Russians? Americans still like democracy, thank you. The Italians? Those pasta loving morons would turn the city into some backwards third world village! So then... who?

If you listen very carefully, you can hear it.

No celebrities in our realm, but lots of people who are pretty sure that they should be celebrities. We started in Rent fandom, post canon, but in the past two years, we've developed into an RL game based in New York which happens to have the canons from that fandom running about. . . You don't need to know a thing about the musical or the movie, since the characters are just characters, nothing more. We're grown up, decent writers, and friendly as can be. Have a look. The banner in my sig's the link.

Pick us! We're a College-level role play that literally just started.

The beautiful 103-acre main campus of California Baptist University is situated in the heart of Riverside’s historic Magnolia Avenue district just a short drive from popular beaches and mountain resorts. The main campus is comprised of more than 30 buildings featuring the 94,800 sq. ft. Eugene and Billie Yeager Center, separate men’s and women’s residence halls, multiple apartment complexes and modular housing, the 270-seat Wallace Theater, a fitness center, one of the region’s largest aquatic centers, the Annie Gabriel Library, the Van Dyne Gym, and the new JoAnn Hawkins Music building, one of the nation’s most advanced music production and recording facilities.

In addition to community involvement through a variety of service projects and activities, California Baptist University also supports a wide range of highly active international programs. Included are educational partnerships with a number of universities in Europe and Asia. Further, the CBU International Service Projects program annually sends scores of student teams throughout the world to teach and participate in recreation, construction and infrastructure.

CBU’s Lancers athletic program is gaining recognition as one of the best in the nation with numerous regional and national championship teams in a variety of sports, including men’s and women’s volleyball, men’s and women’s swimming, men’s and women’s golf, softball, baseball and wrestling.

You may think CBU is a school only for Christian students, but you would be very wrong. Most of the students at California Baptist University are only there because the girl to guy ration is 7:1 and they offer hefty scholarships. Come join the handful of Christian students and thousands of other students who attend California Baptist University in the heart of Downtown Riverside. With the Tyler Mall right down the street, the fun never ends. Just wait and watch as the drama unfolds right before your eyes.

In For a Shock

We just came back from a clear-out, revamp, etc :]
