She stared at the wall, rocking slightly as she tugged at the old-fashioned straight-jacket she'd been transferred in. It made her itch, the rough canvas on her bare skin as maddening as anything else. The smells were all different too, in this new asylum... tainted, somehow, a sort of irony bitterness, rather like blood. She was definitely feeling unsettled.<br/><br/>Her gaze was drawn again to the corner of the padded bench that served as a bed in the cell, although she couldn't see it in the darkness of the cell. The padding had torn on one corner, against the wall, somehow missed by the maintenance crew... if there were any, in this unsettling asylum. While it wasn't exposed enough to hurt herself against, the corner of metal-reinforced plywood was sparking a thought in the chaotic swirling of her mind.<br/><br/>Moving very slowly and deliberately, almost as if her goal was likely to take flight at a hurried movement, she knelt down beside the bed and used her cheek to feel her way to the gap between wall and bench. Leaning against the wall, she squirmed and ground her shoulder in until the exposed edge hooked over the leather buckle that fastened her arms around herself.<br/><br/>She pulled gently, once or twice, testing how well it had hooked, and then thrust away from the 'bed' with all her might. There was the stacatto crackle of popping threads, and then the buckle slipped and she shot away from the bench, crashing against the padding of the far wall hard enough to bring spots to her eyes... they were bright in the darkness.<br/><br/>Slightly dazed, she sat and panted for a moment before returning to her uncomfortable position. She could almost feel the bruises forming on her arm as she squirmed in, hooking the buckle once again.<br/><br/>Outside, in the slot beside the door, her transfer card settled slightly in the slot. As she took a deep breath and began pulling again, another dazzling flash of lightning lit the card brightly.<br/><br/><hr/>WATERFALL MENTAL HEALTH FACILITY TRANSFER CARD<br/>Patient:<em>600-202020-6</em><br/><em>Jane Doe</em><br/><br/>Age: 20<em>(Approx)</em><br/>Height: 5'8"<br/>Weight:<br/>Hair: Brown<br/>Eyes: Blue<br/><br/>Referring Doctor:<em>William Jones</em><br/><br/>Transfer Notes:<em>Extreme care with this one. Has severely injured a number of other staff and patients. Recommend 24hour monitoring and restraints at all times, unless under heavy sedation</em><br/><br/>Patient Notes:<em>See attached case files 132 and 534. In summary... patient suffers from severe hallucinogenic breaks, with severe violence and complete breakdown of communication skills and higher reasoning ability. Manual dexterity is retained, as are basic reasoning and planning skills. I would go so far as to define it as another personality, if there were in fact any signs of a personality present during the breaks.<br/><br/>Outside of the breaks, the patient is lucid and friendly... however, she refuses any concept of appropriate sexual behaviour. She attempts to seduce anyone she is regularly brought into contact with. At the institution before this one, it was discovered she was sexually active with a number of orderlies and at least one patient... this was only discovered when she experienced a break during one of the 'liasons' and injured the orderly to the point of placing him in intensive care. Injuries included bites, shattered bones and a fractured skull.<br/><br/>Unresponsive to therapy. Several analysts refuse to work with her due to her apparently random violent responses to questions.<br/><br/>Claims no memory regarding her life before her first incarceration. Claims no memory of events during the breaks.</em><br/><br/>Further comments:<em>I'm sorry to dump this one on you guys, but we don't have the facilities to maintain her. I know it's unprofessional of me to say so, but this one is creepy. You'll see what I mean.</em><br/><br/>Transfer authorisation:<em>William Jones</em><br/>Form 313-020-302<br/><hr/>FOR OFFICE USE ONLY<br/>Transfer log:<br/>Approval log:<br/>Transport Authority:<br/>Receiver Authority:
