Sorry this took me awhile. I've been pretty busy with school and stuff but I've had a sudden burst of inspiration. I'll do my best to update more frequently. Enjoy!

== Dave: Rack your brain for information

Who could pose the biggest threat to her? I thought nervously. The main crazies here are Vriska and Gamzee, both of whom she seems to be safe from.
Eridan. He was sort of a worry, what with his obsession with the Volunteer helper Feferi and violent tendencies towards, well, everything. Ampora is a loose cannon.

Moving away from the large arch of the door, I made my way to the green padded seat across from Terezi, slouching into it, getting comfortable. "There is this guy…" I began, unsure how to go about it. TD picked up on my thoughts and let out a string of cusses and insults about him.
The two of them had had several run-ins in the past; Eridan coming to whine and bitch to the first person he could find, which was of course not the Me he wanted. TD had promptly told him everything everyone thought about him. A brawl promptly broke out.
"His name is Eridan Ampora, and it's best to stay right the fuck away from him. He's a nut case. More so than most people here." I told her, watching her face change to a look of curiosity.

Brushing back the strands of hair lingering in front of her face, she leant forward and grinned at me. "So, what did he do?" Terezi asked, eyes gleaming a little. She was certainly curious, something that would get her ass in more trouble than her curiosity was worth – but I had to admit, it was sort of admirable.

I scrunched my nose up at her gently, and shrugged a little. "He came here as a sociopath, just like you, but with a little more self-loathing and antisocial behaviour." I thought back to those early days; all the kid did was sulk in his room and cry.
"They say he was a danger to himself, used to attempt suicide at his really low peaks. He never did much around the place, never spoke to anyone. That was until shecame along. Turned that fucker's world around."

"Who is she?" Terezi's voice piped up, quiet not wanting to be too loud. She had no idea what Eridan looked like, so she didn't know if we were in danger of being caught. Chances are, I had made her just a little bit nervous about it.

Continuing, I went on. "Her name is Feferi Peixes – she is a volunteer from this fancy pants private school not far from here. It's a boarding school; imagine that a boarding school and an asylum all snuggled up next to each other. Whoever designed this hellhole was a genius." Terezi gave a small snort and a giggle and leaned back in her chair.
"She comes in every week or so and just talks to the patients, sets up little activities for them. She'll read to some and teach others to paint; she sucks at it mind you."
"Anyway," I paused, hearing the sounds of footsteps and disgruntled mumbling. That sounded an awful lot like him, but if it was, he was only passing by. "Okay… so Eridan went to one of her workshops, it was a hot day or something so they were in the pool area, and she was teaching them to swim and having little games. He was just sitting on the edge of the pool, being an antisocial twat and she came over, started talking to him. He basically became obsessed with him, spoke to her constantly, and talked to other people to make her see he could improve. Eridan wanted to be in the outside world with her, not in here with us."

With a sigh and I ran my fingers through my hair, Terezi looked up at me with expecting eyes, patiently yet impatiently waiting for me to continue my story. Clearing my throat I raised my eyebrows at her. "Damn girl, give me time to breathe…"

She shot me a playful glare and raised her hands high above her head, reaching to the sky. "How can I wait for you to fill your lungs with air when we are at the peak of our tale? Oh cruel, cruel world! This is injustice at its finest! You sir shall be punished if you don't resume your tale immediately." Her hand lowered to point at me, a smirk splitting her face in half.

"Tell me sir, do you wish to be hung?"

It was hard to tell whether she was kidding or not, what with the slightly dark glint in her eyes, a flash of something more meaningful than she was letting on to. With a nervous swallow disguised as a joke, I too raised my hands in defence. "I apologize, geez." Her hands fell back down, the dark shadow of her eyes gone and a triumphant smile place upon her face.

== Terezi: Hang on his every word

Of course! The story was all too fascinating to my eager ears. This is by far the most I've heard about a patient here, and it was so intriguing.
Dave leant forward and rested his forearms on his legs and continue, his hands moving to help explain; he was clearly a hand talker, it was almost distracting.

"Everyone was pleased that he was making progress, until he kind of… lost it. Feferi didn't come to see him one day and ended up breaking one of the nurse's hands because he was trying to "flirt" with her. Since then, he's been under watch when she is around. It's basically gotten to the point where when she comes Eridan has to be locked up in his room so he can't hurt anyone. He started off as a danger to himself, now he's a danger to himself and everyone else. It's sort of pathetically sad." Dave explained the corners of his pursed lips turned down in a frown.

It was interesting hearing about all this, the people here are a lot crazier than I am, a comforting thought when I'm at my lowest, I guess.
Dave's eyes were obscured by his dark glasses, but I could almost make out his eyes searching my face for something, darting from one place to the other. Was he expecting me to show remorse and sorrow for him?
"He is insane." I stated bleakly, frowning at nothing in particular.

Dave chuckled and got to his feet, moving past me and towards the archway of the door. "We all are."

== Terezi: Wander around by yourself

Dave had promptly taken off after that, I tried to ask where but he simply brushed me off – had I offended him with the insane comment? Probably.
A slight gnawing started in my stomach, spreading a grim frown across my face. Reaching out a hand, I closed my fingers around the cool smooth surface of one of the pot plants in the greenhouse and smashed it to the ground. Built up frustration wasn't a good thing, my doctor had said.

Stepping out of the greenhouse, I made my way back into the large foyer. Vriska and Gamzee sat in the far corner, curled up on the couch, laughing about something, or someone.
There was a tall girl talking to a smaller, blonde girl who I could only assume was Rose, Dave's sister – the resemblance between the two was uncanny, both had their porcelain white skin and platinum hair.
The taller girl had an elegant posture about her, calm and collected. She spoke with a smile on her green painted lips and tousled the back of her shortly cropped hair. She was rather beautiful, I had to admit. Absentmindedly, I found myself wondering about whether or not she was a patient. Part of me was encouraged to go and ask, the other didn't want to interrupt the conversation. Instead, I merely walked on through the foyer, glancing occasionally at the many people there. So many people, so many different disorders; so many insane young people in one room.

After a few moments of wandering, I found myself heading down a dark corridor. How I ended up here, I will never know.
I could hear my footsteps echoing off the walls, passing door after door with simple roman numerals nailed to it. There were no slits in the doors or little windows, no way to look in except for what seemed to be a food chute.

"Those are the isolation rooms!" A small voice chirped up from behind me. My heart, calm one moment, started beating rapidly in my chest, beating against my ribcage. Slowly, I turned to find myself face to face with a tiny girl, looking much too young to be in this place.
From behind her, a large hulking boy came out slowly from the shadows to stand behind her. My eyes widened slightly; he was huge. "My name is Nepeta!" The girl chirped up, interrupting my staring.

Raising a hand in a slight wave, I gave her a nervous smile. "Terezi, I'm new here… I guess you know that though, hehehe!" I laughed, trying my best to sound confident.

"My name is Equius Zahhak…" The boy said, his face beginning to perspire. A had to hold back a laugh, so I wouldn't sound rude, but Nepeta caught me smiling and piped up once more.

"Equius has Social Anxiety disorder, right Equius?" She said, smiling up at him and patting his hand gently. "He is kind of embarrassed a lot that's why he sweats! Don't make fun of him, okay? He is purrfect, just the way he is!" Nepeta said, purring ever so slightly afterwards. I raised an eyebrow at her, but not wanting to offend anyone, I kept my mouth shut.

"Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to laugh." That was partly true, I can never stop myself from laughing, because laughing is fun, no? Besides, it was pretty funny. "Uh… I'd like to stay and chat, but I have to… go… hehe! I'll see you later, I guess?" Without wasting another moment, I sidestepped past them both and back down the hall.
I could hear quiet murmurs and the sound of childish giggles as I left, shivers going up and down my spine. This place just kept getting weirder and weirder.
