I can't start anything tonight but feel free, I'll catch up after!

"Ladies, gentleman and our most prestige beings! I welcome you to Critia Asylum! where the weird go nuts and the crazy go wild!" Rashe paced his cellwith as much enthusiasm as a person in a straight jacket could. They had kept him there for a week now, mostly surprised that his voice hasn't gone hoarse yet from all the yelling "NO no NO no NO! stil not right!" He cleared his throat "Ladies, gentleman, children and our most prestige guest…yes!"

Nathan sits in the corner of his room, quiet like usual. He listens to the sounds outside of his room, reminding him of where he is. He listens to Rashe yell like they are a guide to this god forsaken place.

Desmay sat there in the corner of her cell quietly. She didn't say a thing as always she just stayed quiet and didn't say anything to the keepers of the asylum or the other patients.

Kenna ignored everyone. She sat in her cell, staring at the wall. The plaster was cracking, and making strange shapes on the wall. So far, she had determined that it could be a bear, a turtle, a tree or an old man in a broken wheel chair.

"Come on guys! I know you're there. I know you can hear me." He laughed hysterically and slumped to the ground "No point in staying quiet when you're not getting out."

Kenna rolled her eyes. Why should she listen if she wasn't going to get out? There was no use.

Nathan quietly says. "But there is a point when you're too far gone to be saved…"

Rashe sighed, knowing he was never going to get an answer out of anyone "Crazy will only get worse. Asylums can't fix that." He muttered, the first logical thing he's said in weeks

Nathan is surprised that Rashe stopped yelling. He's kind of concerned for them, but would rather have the silence over yelling.

The rat stared threateningly at Alice. Alice stared back with as much intimidating energy as she could muster.
They'd been locked in this staring contest for 20 years now… or it might've been 20 seconds. Neither one of them could tell.

Samantha rocked back and forth within her cell, her back against the wall farthest from the iron bars. Her thoughts were repeated over and over, like a metronome.
Tick tock, that's the clock.
Ding dong, this is all wrong.
Scream scream, this isn't a dream.
Tick tock…
It was the only thing Sam could do that brought her the closest to sanity as it could bring her, which wasn't much, but then again, at least she wasn't screaming.

Guards came around, each standing at their designated door. The head officer stood in the middle, shining a light into the rooms "All right guys! Breakfast!" Each guard set down a plate and slid it through the small hole in the door. The food wasn't even a tasting. It consisted of loaf ends, rotten fruit and brown gravy. "Eat up, then out to the courtyard. Alice I swear to God, you eat that rat, I'm going to feed you all the rats I can find for the next 10 years."

Kenna snorted, but ignored the food. Her previous meals lay on the floor next to it, only a few bites taken from each.

Alice looked up wildly when the guard called her out. "WELL," she screeched at the light, crawling forward towards the door and the fresh plate of food. "That sounds delicious," she said sweetly through the door.

One of the guards snickered "She's way down the rabbit hole." He muttered
"Hey! enough talking!" the main officer growled, striding out of the room to let the patients eat

Alice fell onto the ground on her stomach and started eating breakfast, barely noticing what she was swallowing. It was probably best that way.
She observed the prisoners around her through the slit in the door, occasionally making eye contact, occasionally sticking out her tongue.

Nathan stares at the food. He starts to eat, not really paying attention to what he ate.

Rashe scooted over and started to eat the best he could. He peered through the little opening and saw Alice making faces "hows the flip side, Wonderland?" he asked with a quirky grin

Samantha stares at the tray. She noticed they changed the material from plastic to metal after her previous attempt to hurt herself, to escape this prison. Nevertheless, she ate only about a third of the meal presented to her.

Kenna heard sounds of eating all around and gagged. How could they eat it?

Nathan pushes the tray back next to door, trying his best to not vomit.
