I12DT - Among Mad People

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jul 12, 2013 2:24 pm

Samantha was shown into Melpomene's cell, after proper precautions were made. She looked about to see the state the prisoner was in.

by **Melpomene** » Fri Jul 12, 2013 2:28 pm

Not particularly well. She's wearing a deranged smile and a vague sense of recognition.

"I remember you..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jul 12, 2013 2:36 pm

"Do you, now?"

by **Melpomene** » Fri Jul 12, 2013 2:38 pm

"Of course! You're... uhm... Yes, yes! Sammy!"

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jul 12, 2013 2:58 pm

"What if I don't want to talk about Sammy?"

by **Melpomene** » Fri Jul 12, 2013 3:01 pm

"Hmm... Do what you want?" There's a weak flailing of her thoughts against the power suppression keeping her thoughts inside her own head. "Don't have much choice, do I?" she asks, sounding maybe not entirely rhetorical.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jul 12, 2013 3:08 pm

"What if I want to talk about Norma?"

by **Melpomene** » Fri Jul 12, 2013 3:12 pm

"Who is that?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jul 12, 2013 3:18 pm

"You don't remember Norma? You used to be such good friends."

She began making contact with Melpomene's mind.

by **Melpomene** » Fri Jul 12, 2013 3:25 pm

"Really Sammy, you can't expect me to keep track of everyone I've ever met."

Mel's mind looks a little better than last time, but that's really just in comparison to before. The gashes are beginning to heal over somewhat naturally but it still leaves her essentially lobotomized. Her mind is just starting to adapt to that. Still, Norma's name doesn't even seem to run her mind through any severed connections.

"I'm afraid you'll have to jog my memory a little. Been having some... issues remembering things."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jul 12, 2013 3:29 pm

"I'll bet you have," she said, looking at the woman skeptically.

by **Melpomene** » Fri Jul 12, 2013 3:38 pm

"Really, if you hadn't left me in a room with my thoughts locked inside my own head I wouldn't have had to let those... things in."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jul 12, 2013 4:13 pm

"And I suppose you don't recall Doctor Sunderland, either..."

by **Melpomene** » Fri Jul 12, 2013 4:16 pm

"It's really nice that you came all the way out here just to talk to me, but I have no idea who any of those people are."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jul 12, 2013 4:18 pm

Samantha checked one more time to make sure that this wasn't being routed through the damaged parts of her mind.

by **Melpomene** » Fri Jul 12, 2013 4:22 pm

As far as Sam can tell without delving in all the way there's no sign of those memories ever having existed.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jul 12, 2013 4:25 pm

"Who are you? Who are you really?"

by **Melpomene** » Fri Jul 12, 2013 4:31 pm

"You don't recognize me? I'm devastated, Sammy."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jul 12, 2013 4:33 pm

"I know who you think you are. Now I wonder who you were before she got to you."

by **Melpomene** » Fri Jul 12, 2013 4:41 pm

"I'm Ma...ry? No! Melpomene. Come on, Sammy, try to keep up here."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jul 12, 2013 4:41 pm

"Are you like me? Can you change your face?"

by **Melpomene** » Fri Jul 12, 2013 4:52 pm

"Don't be ridiculous. Take down the damn suppression field and I'll show you what I can do." she smirks.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jul 12, 2013 5:03 pm

"Let's see, then."

Pulling out the security remote she had with her, she did exactly that.

by **Melpomene** » Fri Jul 12, 2013 5:06 pm

"You surprise me. But do you really think I'm that stupid?" she says. Despite her words though there's some telepathic probing. Either she wants Sam to notice or she's much more clumsy that usual.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jul 12, 2013 5:07 pm

"You're the one who proposed it, aye? If you're really Melpomene, you've got nothing to worry about."

Samantha's defenses, of course, held.

by **Melpomene** » Fri Jul 12, 2013 5:17 pm

"Call me a little gun shy after how hard you slammed me last time we danced. I didn't know we'd be playing that rough." she smirks.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jul 12, 2013 5:26 pm

"I don't think you can."

by **Melpomene** » Fri Jul 12, 2013 5:29 pm

"Okay, maybe I got a little rusty..." she frowns, apparently a little confused and frustrated with her lacking skills.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jul 12, 2013 5:50 pm

"She made you what she wanted to. It's what she does."

by **Melpomene** » Fri Jul 12, 2013 5:59 pm

"Don't be ridiculous."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jul 12, 2013 6:12 pm

"Nobody's that rusty."

by **Melpomene** » Fri Jul 12, 2013 6:15 pm

"If you let me I can work my way out of this funk. Come back in, say, a week or two?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jul 12, 2013 6:21 pm

"I don't think it'll be me you'll see next," she said as she re-engaged the inhibitors.

by **Melpomene** » Fri Jul 12, 2013 6:26 pm

"Back in the hole until you start to miss me again. I get it."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jul 12, 2013 6:28 pm

"No, because no matter how much you might like to think you're the haughty genuine article, you're just another victim. That means it's the job of this facility to help you."

by **Melpomene** » Fri Jul 12, 2013 6:30 pm

"Don't be ridiculous."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jul 12, 2013 6:31 pm

There was a look on her face that could only be pity.

"Me being here to reinforce your delusions isn't helping."

by **Melpomene** » Fri Jul 12, 2013 6:36 pm

"Fine, I'll get better and then we'll dance." she grins. It'd be disturbing but now it just looks kind of pathetic and desperate.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jul 12, 2013 6:39 pm

"Goodbye. I hope in time we can help you find yourself again."

She started to leave.

by **Melpomene** » Fri Jul 12, 2013 6:51 pm

"Wait!" She jumps up and takes a couple steps after Sam before the chain keeping her tied to the chair stops her. "I think I was supposed to tell you something..."
