GROUP THERAPY OF DOOM

[proverbmachine]

Mei is sitting in a room somewhere on the 13th floor (dun dun dunnnn). Her hair is tied up in a severe bun and she's wearing glasses instead of her usual contacts. In the room is a circle of chairs and placed significantly in the center of the chairs is a box of kleenex. Thus, she waits for people to arrive.

A sign on the door reads:

Are you

Hi, my name's Adam and I have a plan to kill you all individually...or at least that's what I want you to think.

[cougar_78]

[Snirk!]

[proverbmachine]

Hello Adam, welcome to the group. So what makes you feel you need to kill everyone?

[silverrevolver]

A number of reasons. Most of which are a state secret.

[gigavilleocelot]

What is this, a fucking group therapy?

[cautiously takes a seat. He needs a refill on his medication anyway, so maybe she can help with that...]

[proverbmachine]

Welcome to the group, would you like to introduce yourself?

[gigavilleocelot]

[just saw her greet the other Ocelots]

[...] You know who I am, I don't need to introduce myself.

[proverbmachine]

[Purses her lips and give him a very serious look.]

Just do it, would you?

[notayoungkitten]

...Evelyn.
I'd prefer that you stop referring to me as "someone you usually see as a man."

[proverbmachine]

Welcome, Evelyn. This group will be based on mutual respect between all participants. No one will be referred to by anything other than the name they give.

Would you like to share something?

[notayoungkitten]

Not exactly.

[proverbmachine]

That's fine, once you feel comfortable enough to share something please just jump in ok?

[Smiles and nods in a way that implies shaaaaaaaarrrrrrreeeeeeeeeee]

[revolver_kitty]

[Enters nonchalantly. Yeah, if I want some fucking therapy I will get some fucking therapy. WHAT'RE YOU GONNA SAY ABOUT IT]

Hi, Mei. I haven't seen you around lately. Keeping busy?

[proverbmachine]

Hello, Adamska. Welcome!

I'm doing well, just trying to keep busy, help out a little... you know. What brings you to therapy today?

[revolver_kitty]

[looks around the room] I suppose i can't hide secrets from myself.

Relationship advice. And considering everyone here, they might think of something I myself for some reason haven't...

[proverbmachine]

[Mei nods seriously, conveying all the understanding of a good tv talk show host]

Alright, would you like to tell everyone about it?

[shota_ocelot]

[enters without a word, sits away from everyone else. Who seems to be himself]

[...]

[proverbmachine]

[Mei looks at young Ocelot and smiles, trying to be as welcoming as possible]

Hello there, would you like to introduce yourself or tell us a little something about yourself?

[shota_ocelot]

[he isn't shy, he just doesn't usually speak unless spoken to]

[assumes "would you like" is sugar coated formality]

My name is Adamska. [little something about myself. What is that supposed to mean. Something small talk?]

And I've never had cheesecake. Mommy said it's very good though and I should have some if I can.

[proverbmachine]

Welcome to the group, Adamska. Your mommy is right, cheesecake is really good.

Do you have anything you feel like talking about today?
