Twisted Asylum

Anarchy

The extra characters in this, Galena and Armaros, are the oc's of joannliew !! They asked to collab in this story, so go check out their guide book (their story is a bit outdated now that I'm rewriting,) but they have drawings of their characters for better visuals!

—————————————————

I strolled down the hallway, wondering what I was going to eat for dinner, when I noticed a friend of mine down the hall. Galena, another doctor who worked here. She was accompanied by her one, and only, patient. I think his name was... Armaros, or something fancy like that.

"Yo! Galena!" I called out with a wave, walking faster to get to the two.

Armaros waved back timidly, while Galena gave me a confident smile. "Yuu, good morning! I feel like I haven't seen you in ages!"

"Eh, a lot has been going on. Remember Aren?" The mention of their name makes both of them grimace.

"Yeah, actually, I do. Why, what did they do?" Galena spoke with a deadpan expression.

As I explain the whirlwind that was this morning, including the calls, the new patients, and the badmouthing, Galena let out an exasperated chuckle. "Good lord, it's not even noon and that's all happened? I feel bad for you."

"... Same." Her patient whispered, offering me a sympathetic look, before quickly looking away.

"So, you mentioned you just finished talking with one of your new patients? Would you mind if I asked who?" Galena asked, tilting her head.

I nod, pullout my files to show her. "Nah, I don't mind."

She lets out a low whistle. "Hm, you just interviewed Jack Howl? I hear he can be a bit aggressive."

Armaros shivered at his name, he knew about Jack's bad reputation, obviously.

"It's alright, Armaros." I say with a chuckle. The timid man looked at me, unsure. "Jack may look scary, but from what I've seen so far, he's pretty polite."

Armaros smiled awkwardly. "Thankyou for telling me..." He whispered.

"So, you're going to interview... Leona next, right?" Galena asked me, flipping to the next page of my files, reading over it.

"Yep, if that's the next file in there." I say absentmindedly.

Galena's expression falters. "... Hm. Were you aware that he's a prince from the Sunset Savanna?"

My eyes widen. "No... He's the exiled prince? He's being held here?" I ask as my smile falters, silently hoping she was joking. She looks at me with pity. "I'm not kidding. His last name is Kingscholar. That's the royal family name."

I sighed, rubbing a hand down my face. According to rumour, Leona was temperamental, often having to be chained to the wall in his cell. Another rumour was that he hated being spoken to at all... This job is hard.

"Maybe I could accompany you to his room? Just in case... well, Armaros will have to come with me, but he'll have to stay away from Leona." Galena spoke up, Armaros looked hesitant but willing to go with his doctor. I was hesitant as well, not wanting to inconvenience her.

But Galena does have a bunch of experience here with most of the patients, she's been here way longer than me. They will probably listen to both of us if she was there.

"Alright fine, you can come." I say to the psychiatrist.

She beamed proudly, before a soft beep sounds from her watch. "Ah, I'll have to talk to you later, my break just started."
