Shamitako Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 So here's some half-finished info-ness. Obviously this is still WIP but it should be enough for an interest check. Feel free to ask questions so I'm forced to come up with answers Setting: An old mansion in the Midwest refurbished to serve as a facility for the Miracle Initiative’s most extreme cases. Because of the patients it serves, it is almost completely self-sufficient and cut off from the outside world; what few supplies it needs are shipped in once a month Plot: A group of teenage writers are brought together from around the world to teach a mental patient about human emotions. The writers must then deal with the psychological ordeal of being trapped away from the rest of humanity while trying to train an antisocial madman to feel empathy The Miracle Initiative: A charity dedicated to helping children with special needs integrate into society. The Miracle Initiative helps hundreds of children around the world yearly. The organization sometimes takes on “impossible” cases—children considered too separate from societal norms to ever become a part of society Staff: Kids can’t be expected to care for themselves entirely, so there is a small staff to help them. The staff is expected to mostly stay out of the way and is not supposed to give advice The Gardener: A kind, elderly man who is clearly concerned about how dangerous the patient could be. He’s not keen on talking because he fears he’ll end up breaking the rules, so he hides out in the garden. Chances are he’d break the rules and give you advice if you asked. The librarian refers to him as Father, although it’s unclear whether this is a title or if they are actually related The Cook: The gardener’s polar opposite, the cook is a prideful young man with a short temper. He’s quite boisterous and will happily talk to any who visit his kitchen, so long as they don’t try to ask for advice about the patient, or worse, criticize his cooking The Maid: A quiet and beautiful girl who works hard at her job. The maid is so lacking in presence that she almost seems like a ghost at times, it’s pretty much impossible to get in touch with her without asking the librarian to summon her. At least she keeps your clothes clean, maybe one day she’ll respond to the love notes you keep leaving on your bed for her... The Librarian: The woman in charge of the mansion, she is stern and bossy. She wants to keep things running smoothly and is the one who will clean things up if they don’t. She is trained in armed and unarmed combat. Should the patient try anything, the chances of her going down before him are minimal. Her room has an emergency landline in it, just in case things go awry. She’s not actually very good at the librarian part of her job, so don’t expect much help finding books—assuming she’s in the library at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bfroger6 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 So that is why we need essays ~ *nods* Alright. Didn't choose the "Will join, do like" option for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GotWala Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Huh, sounds neat! I've got somewhat of an idea on what direction I want to go with my contribution, though most of it will have to wait until the ball gets rolling, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
