Time travels as unusually on a macro scale as it does on a micro scale. Presumably, the patient population functions as a single group for these purposes

The last two nights have seemed unusually long to me - my best estimate is between six and eight hours between nightfall and when I lost consciousness.
I was attacked by one person - an old enemy who also happens to be here, and not the person who underwent Special Counseling last night - and then traveled with one...very good friend. I was injured rather severely, so we wound up simply going back to his room in the end.
I only got about one hallway over after I left my room when I met two other people. We were talking for, like, ten seconds and I was back in bed and it was morning.
Strange. You checked for both the generic and the trademarked name of risperdal, I assume? I'm under the impression that supplies replenish every night, so that indicates the contents of the pharmacy are not static.
Thank you for independently verifying my findings.

[I fail; Near's earlier post is in disguised handwriting too.]
Of course.
I have experiments in place that will verify what is replenished and what isn't, if anything isn't. I'll be happy to let you know the results, if you wish.
Certainly. We did agree that we should all work together to help, after all.

2008? Huh.
I was in bed for at least five hours before I left my room. After that, I'd say maybe fifteen minutes? I was alone until I got to the hall in front of the Sun Room, then there was blood and guts everywhere. Looked like someone had exploded into gore confetti. Where you, uh, there when that happened?
Oh, then I was attacked by a little armless frog-thing.
I'd guess about six hours, though I sadly didn't have a clock on hand to make sure. I met up with one other person near the end of that time, and we went from the balcony over the sun room to the next hall over before I woke up. As I'm sure plenty could say, I saw 'Sparky', as it's been dubbed, with its light show.
Of course, I'm a new arrival, so would you terribly mind letting me in on what you already know?
Clocks are hard to come by in the institute, it seems. Don't expect to come across one.
At night, the institute is affected by time dilation particular to the traveling group. I'm trying to determine what variables affect it, so that we can maximize the time we spend awake.
Different groups in the same area can experience different rates of time. If two individuals or two groups interact with each other, the slower time will become dominant.
If you pass through a room twice and see the same group both times, it's likely that they're moving at a slower time rate and it would be best to avoid them. This is probably why your night seemed to end shortly after you started watching 'Sparky.'
As others will point out, it's not safe to travel alone. Small groups are the best compromise between safety and efficiency.
Ah, if I had my cellphone I could keep track. Among other things. Don't expect you'd know where things like that might be kept?
Interesting to find out about this time dilation, though. For what it's worth, 'Sparky' seemed to move normally for me, the same with the people it was fighting. I wonder if monsters are subject to the same effects, or if they take on the speed of the people they interact with.
There's a place on the second floor where possessions from our supposed former lives are kept. It's possible that your cellphone's there, but it would almost certainly be without any supernatural powers it possessed on the outside world.
Even if it powered up I doubt you'd be able to get a signal, but I'd be interested in finding out.

This place does seem to bring out the worst in people sometimes.

That's weird, yeah?

But you'll be pleased to know that the dates and types of the other medications do in fact correspond with the date you've presented of October 2008.

It seems that Landel is able to use some kind of mind control even on the nights when patients aren't brainwashed in the traditional sense.
