Set in asylum for occult task force agents who have gone insane

My Character was Ivan. His story is a complex one.

He was a police officer with some occult knowledge. He trapped a demon and banished it.

Unfortunately he did it wrong and the demon got out and killed a lot of people. The only way he could stop the demon was to take it into himself. This meant that every time he falls asleep the demon is in his dreams and chasing him. He soon went insane.

He also started to suffer from narcolepsy and fell asleep at the wheel of his car.

It was after that he was institutionalise and he believes he cannot use his legs. This is just psychosomatic. He is kept on heavy stimulants during the day to stop him sleeping, and heavy sedatives at night to stop him dreaming.

Due to the events at the asylum the ‘protection’ of the building is down and if he sleeps the demon (Box Head) comes out and starts killing!

It took the players a long time to work this one out. But when they did there was a hair-raising time when I had ‘disappeared’ because one of the processed spirits had took me out of the complex and left me in the woods (Which I found extremely relaxing)

To cut a very long story slightly les long...

Nope. The story for the asylum was so good, and so complex there is no way I could write it up in anything less than a book!

It was brilliant. Trust me on this one.

Highlights

1. Being ‘in character’ even when the players were not around. (We joked that in fact, we were the only ones NOT role playing. We were just being ourselves - that is to say - insane)

2. The food - Morgan gave us wonderful food.

3. Nice and clean - Nice and clean - Nice and clean - Nice and clean

4. The Monsters and background sound effect we truly scary

5. Constantly commenting on anything and everything. Acting like everything I assumed was obviously the trust (example; when my character heard that “the owners were visiting” He obviously assumed we had all been sold into slavery! And made sure he told everyone about it)

6. Being a character that had to stay awake I was constantly fed massive amounts of coffee. (Thanks for the ‘rocket coffee’ Morgan)

7. Kerry being the perfect nurse - in modern and Victorian characters.

8. Febs going insane and my character doing his best to make him worse (The EYES!!)

9. Having the players so confused they tried to summon the demon from the wheelchair instead of me! (and took me out of the chair to do it! - And almost trying it on my blanket as well!)

10. Sitting in the woods with my Zen playing the soundtrack of The Fountain - Death is the road to awe - and being totally relaxed

11. The players, monster team, refs and everyone being incredibly friendly and in character.

12. And of course Russ for making it all possible.

Thee is so much more but too much to write about.
