Name: Gloria "WyldEyes" Seshet
Age: 29

Gloria was a PA (Physician's Assistant) working towards her M.D. and all seemed to be going well for her.
She did some volunteer work in Zimbabwe and Ethiopia, providing medical care and aid to the locals and was bitten by a rather crazed patient in the process. She was told that being bitten or scratched by someone with such a madness was contagious and she was cursed to be a madwoman. She thought nothing of it at the time (the man later died, of malaria and a heart arrhythmia she diagnosed). She simply got took some booster shots, including a tetanus series to be sure, and felt fine afterwards.

A few months later, well after she had come back from the trip, she noticed that she was having severe trouble concentrating when things became stressful. She'd find herself staring at the wall blankly, or throwing things with no real reason. After having every conceivable battery of medical tests run on herself with no abnormal results, she concluded that her problem must be psychological. It's entirely possible that she subconsciously believes she is cursed, or she may have some strange as yet undiscovered disease.


____________________

She decided that she needed better care than she knew how to provide herself, so she had willingly checked herself into a low security mental health facility. Gloria had only been there a few days but was getting impatient with her progress already. This too, she decided, was part of her problem. Her patience with pretty much everything was not what it used to be either.

This led her be outside in the "Tranquility Park" on a partly cloudy December afternoon, sitting at one of the benches, staring at the world idly.

((Hope you don't mind the Anime Picture))

Name: Miyu Aldenel
Age: 24

Miyu grew up in a wealthy family as a prodigy of mental understanding. She managed to be able to get her doctorate rather easily due to it. However, she grew up lonely. After being adopted and finding out, she mostly studied psychology to help herself. Now, however, she does it to help others like her family had helped her from the orphanage. She treats psychiatric patients as well as just general people that need aid. She's known for her odd way of getting information through her naturally manipulative and childish nature.

---

Miyu had taken a job at the local mental facility as a high-ranking psychologist. She didn't study the medical part, though she had started, so she didn't help with medication. She mostly acted as a counselor. As she walked into the special park of the facility that day during her break, she saw one of the more recent patients. Walking over curiously, she smiled. "How are you today? It's good that you're getting some fresh air. Inside all the time'll drive you up a wall after a while, you know."

Gloria looked over at the girl who had addressed her. She was dressed like one of the staff, but she looked young. My God, do they have candystripers at mental facilities too? she thought to herself. She quickly decided she was some sort of intern.

"Well, yes. But I thought the point of staying here, indoors or out, was to be driven directly away from crazy, hmm?" The nurse looked over the girl and noticed the nametag. It had a Ph.D. on it. Either she'd borrowed that whole jacket (which seemed unlikely, the girl was tiny) or she had managed some sort of doctorate at her age. Great, she thought, the last thing I need is some whiz kid female Doogie Houser diagnosing me. She tried not to let her shock and disappointment show, but she was having great difficulty holding back her emotions lately.

"It is. Sadly, that doesn't always work." Miyu chuckled. "It's pretty annoying, but the world doesn't work like it seems it should. We just gotta make due with it." She looked at the woman with a small smile, looking more like a kid than she usually would.

"Tell me... Does it feel nice to be outside? You don't get out much from what I can tell... So I bet it feels nice. I'm probably wrong though." Soon enough, she felt her eyes growing in some way or another. "Tell me about yourself. I like getting to know new people."

Is it nice to be outside? Tell me about yourself? How typical can you get? she thought, but shook her head a little to clear the cobwebs. "To tell you the truth, I don't come out much simply because I forget to. Isn't that stupid? I spend all my time anymore trying to keep my mind. I never used to be such an emotional person at all..." She trailed off, looking over the young woman. Very attractive, and probably an amazing lay, she thought, then shook that off. Where did that come from? She was straight! How could she be attracted to this... this girl?

Gloria looked away and down, full of embarrassment and confusion. Her fists were tightly clenched and she didn't even know why...

"That may be so... But we all change, don't we? I was always crying as a kid, and now look at me. I feel like a bumble-bee in the spring!" Miyu laughed at the sad fact that was the truth. As a child, Miyu was always crying, always upset. Nowadays, she was chipper constantly.

"You know... You are a very pretty young woman." She glanced at the woman with a smile. "I'm envious, honestly. I hope that you get the joy you deserve- so many don't... You should though. I bet your smile is lovely."

A very pretty young woman? I bet you have a great smile? Am I being hit on? She shook that off too, just overreacting. Miyu must be just trying to draw her out. Gloria was no psychologist but she did take all the required psych courses on the way to her RN certification. This was a basic tactic. Ah well, they wouldn't teach it this long if it didn't work, right?. Gloria looked up at the girl and smiled. "Young woman? Me? I'd bet I'm five years your senior at least." Despite her best efforts, she did appreciate the flattery, and her heart fluttered a little bit as she responded.

What was wrong with her? She's practically a teenager! Was she going completely crazy now? Gloria sighed. "Look, I'm a RN and am just a few classes away from becoming an MD on my own, so I know the basics of psychology myself, not that it helped me straighten myself out. I'm ready to cooperate with whatever it is you think might help, so let me unload it on you, even though you've probably read my file already."

Gloria stared off into the distance and began retelling the tale, starting with her trip to Africa, and leading up to the present. "... and that is why I decided to check in here, voluntarily. Am I having a psychosomatic effect on myself by subconsciously believing in that stupid curse, or what? I haven't a clue. I just know I have to get my emotions under control. I get these rages or fits of passion and I can't ... can't think properly at all! That is no way for a doctor to behave, and I have to get past this if I want to have any sort of life for myself!"

By the end of her monologue, her fists were balled up tightly, the blood being squeezed away from the knuckles by the pressure, and her lower arms were shaking slightly with the tension.

Miyu smiled. "You don't seem like you are much older then I am. I'm twenty-five, out of college four years. And yes, I do know that it's a common tactic, but I'm not talking to you due to my job right now. You realize, I'm not your actual psychologist here- just one of many that work here. I am the supervisor... but that matters not." She took hold of one of the woman's hands as to try to keep the hand from falling into slumber.

"To believe in a curse... Many do it, myself included. I always thought I was cursed- it's why I took my psychology course in the beginning. However... All curses come with a blessing of some kind. You say you were never emotional, yes? Perhaps this 'curse' is also a blessing... Because it brings out the emotions more. It brings out that one thing that makes us human more than anything in the world."

She shook her head, the many words that flowed through her mind of the diagnostics on file taking her mind over. "They said to me earlier on that you have what is called 'stress atavism'. However... I don't see that at all. Yes, you may have fits of rage or other emotions... But many people have that. What I see is... That you are someone who yes, is indeed under stress... But mostly is trying to understand themselves a bit more... So that they can tame the emotions that have been suppressed. Sort of like a bottle of soda. When you leave it out for long enough, the fizz goes away. However, when you shake it up again and try to remind it that there was ever a fizz... You have to open it slowly or it explodes. Humans are like that too."

She heard Miyu talking, but didn't really take in what she was saying. Her every fiber of her being was focused on that small gesture, the flesh-to-flesh contact of Miyu holding her hand. Gloria's whole body thrilled, and while she relaxed her hand, her heart was racing like she'd just run a mile. The nurse tried to talk, but no words would come together in her head at all!

Gloria's only thought was of what she wanted to do. And it was something she'd never ever wanted to do to a woman before! She stood up suddenly, grabbed the back of Miyu's neck and kissed her full on the mouth. Embarrassment, passion, and pure unbridled lust for life had busted through her thinly-maintained facade and she looked away, and... and... growled? What the heck? It was like she was seeing herself from outside, as in a dream, when she wheeled and bounded away, on all fours nonetheless! She caught a small glimpse of Miyu as she headed for a copse of trees. She was holding one hand to her mouth and the other behind her head.

Somehow, Gloria didn't care. She ran until she was fairly deep inside a cluster of bushes, her gown dirtied with both dirt and blood from small scratches she sustained forcing herself into the deep brush. She just sat there, rocking and trying to compose a rational thought. The only thing she managed was, I am crazy, or I am cursed, or both. God help me.

Miyu's face had turned red as her body became paralyzed from shock. She wanted to call out, wanted to run after the young woman that had dashed off. However, she couldn't move, couldn't properly make an understandable thought. She was frozen in time, if even only for a shorter moment. Eventually, she regained feeling in her arms and legs. She began to be able to think again.

It hasn't... I never... Her breath was still heavy, still out of capability. This feeling... I haven't had it basically since I was adopted... Why do I have it again now?

Without another word going through her mind, or another feeling through her heart, she ran in the direction she'd seen the woman run in earlier on. However, Miyu hadn't the best eye for detail. Not in terms of landscape, anyway. She looked around, but could not find the figure she sought. "Where...? Where did she...?" As usual, she'd lost the image. She let out a soft sight and hit her head on a tree from disturbance in her thought-track.

Gloria heard Miyu's voice nearby and the gentle thunk of the girl's collision with the tree. She stretched up a bit, the gown tearing a little more, and caught sight of her. So beautiful, I have to have her, she thought.

Without another thought, acting on pure instinct, she barreled out of the thicket she was in and almost literally tackled Miyu. But somehow, during the run, her mind returned to her and all she did after wrapping her arms around the young psychologist was sink to her knees and look up at her. "Help me." She whispered, her somehow ancient blue eyes streaming with tears as she stared up at her. "I don't want to be an animal."

With that, she leaned her head against Miyu's thigh, her arms were now wrapped around her legs as she sobbed uncontrollably.

Miyu's eyes gazed at the girl while a soft, meager smile plastered itself on her pale, child-like face. As a way to help her calm down, Miyu sunk to her knees while her strawberry-pink hair draped on the ground as if it were shreds of a blanket to share heat. Thin arms wrapped around the girl that was clinging to her as she rubbed her back. She made a quiet noise to try to calm her.

"I'm right here... Please... Don't worry, I'm right here." She hugged her tightly as a means of attempt to help her a bit further in relaxing even the slightest bit. "I won't leave... Unless you want me to. Okay? Please... Just tell me how I can help."

Soon enough her hand was placed on the girl's shoulder, the other hand soon doing the same. The emerald eyes were narrowed as she looked sternly to the one she was talking to. "I need you to tell me how I can help. I can't read minds..."

Gloria calmed down a bit, and her faculties returned. "Whenever I get stressed, not only can I not control my emotions, I have a hard time thinking. It's like, I'm all instinct. Like some animal. When I try to talk, no words come to mind. I just want to do things, not talk."

She shook her head and slowly separated herself from Miyu. "I... I'm sorry about earlier. I don't know what came over me. The more stressed I get, the less I can control myself. If I knew any more than that, I would have treated myself instead of checking myself into this place." Gloria stood, and straightened the torn and dirty gown as best she could, but she still looked like something that had seen nine miles of bad road. There were still twigs and leaves in her voluminous hair. Gloria shrugged, unable to provide further information. It was truly all she knew about what had been happening to her.

"It's fine to act on instinct when you need to," Miyu responded simply, seemingly not phased about what had happened. "Instinct is instinct... It's why we have it. Basically it's similar to intuition- you can choose not to listen to it, but sometimes it's safer to do otherwise. Your state is telling you to let go of logic and listen to your intuition and instincts more. At least... That's how it seems to me." She smiled simply, patting the woman on the shoulder.

"I'm no genius... And I'm not your clinician anyway, so no matter what for me to try to treat you isn't really right- I don't know you as well as your own therapist would. However... I know this much. The first step you may need to take is to accept that this is happening... But it isn't all bad. It's a sign in some way or another. Tell me... When this started, did you have an instinct to do something but logic told you to do something out? Or did something bad generally happen that may have struck a similar chord?"

Gloria thought for a few moments. "I guess I first noticed it when I got transferred to the night shift at work. I always hated working that shift, and I found myself by a patient's bed and wanting to give her another sedative simply because she was complaining that she needed an extra blanket! Of course I didn't act on that, I got her blanket of course."

She paused and sat down, crossing her legs. "Then when the security guard started hitting on me again I nearly slapped him right across the face! In fact I started the motion but covered it up by pretending I was dropping my clipboard, which he immediately bent down to help me pick up. I gave him such a dirty look that he actually stepped back. And I think I remember growling a little at him too!"

Gloria sighed, and began picking the leaves and twigs out of her hair as she continued. "It went on like that, happening more and more often. One time, I felt so angry that I took my lunch early, but all I did was sit in the ladies room the whole time, fuming about stuff that happens every day. Stuff that never bothers me. That night I had a dream about that whole incident in Africa, and it was then I secretly did some toxicology tests on myself, to see if I was infected with anything."

She shook her head. "I knew it would take a week or two for the results to come back so I took ten days vacation. When I came back, the results were negative. No known disease or pathogen on a full panel. When I was on vacation I was fine. No difficulty thinking, no odd behavior. So, I thought it might be stress related. I managed to negotiate a three month leave of absence, and after one more week at work, I came here. And during that week, I was biting my tongue and holding myself back at least two or three times a night. It was getting worse!"

Gloria stood up again. "That's about it, really. And now that I am here, and it isn't supposed to be stressful at all, it still happens. But usually when I think hard on trying to figure out what is wrong with me, which I guess is it's own kind of stress. Can we go inside? I need to clean up and get a new robe on..." She crossed her arms across her chest, which actually accentuated it a bit, making it obvious that she was either cold or aroused, or both.

"You should go ahead inside. I mostly came out for fresh air myself... I'm pretty new around here myself, or at least I feel like it sometimes." Miyu simply let off a gentle smile of some kind, her eyes gazing into a non-particular space. "And it probably was stress related, just so you know. But...All stress-related problems have an origin. My guess, which is probably not all that correct... My guess is that it started before your transfer to the night-shift at your job. Did you see something before then that made you uneasy at work?"

Miyu could remember the first time she'd tried going to medical school to get a degree in an actual medical practice- she'd gotten so sick from seeing blood that she was almost sent to the hospital herself. She still wanted to work with people, so she worked on psychology and the like instead. She saw dried blood, yes, but at least it wasn't blood she was causing (and not wet in general). She felt more comfortable that way. She'd started psychiatry, but didn't agree with most of the practices they taught at school. So, she stuck with psychology and took aimless classes from time to time to satiate her strong desire for information.

"Now... Don't worry about my constant questions. I'm just naturally curious." She let her smile grow more friendly than before. "I'm not your clinician, so you don't have to feel like you absolutely have to answer me. I just like learning about people and trying to help a bit. I may be Becca's supervisor, but I'm still not Becca." Becca- she recalled that being the nickname for the therapist that was supposed to be working with the young woman, though she may have been wrong. "Just try not to dwell too much. Trust me... I know what I'm talking about with that." The childish smile became more of a solemn elder's expression. Something was coming back to her, and it was something she didn't like to think of at all. Her lack of knowledge of her own origins.

"I guess I was disturbed by the way that poor African man died on my trip there, but it was months after I got home that I even connected my episodes with that supposed curse, it was so insignificant to me."

She shrugged again, apparently back to normal. "I will go inside now, I think. I'll clean up and maybe read a book or something until I get tired. I just hope I can find out what is wrong with me, and quickly."

As she passed by Miyu, she gave her shoulder a friendly squeeze. "And thanks for not totally freaking out." Gloria smiled and kept walking back into the facility.

And, as promised, she got cleaned up, and sat in her bed reading a James Patterson book until she got tired and went to bed for the night.

Miyu watched quietly as the girl left, soon sitting on the local bench that she recalled her having sat on originally. An African man had died during the trip she'd taken. Perhaps that was the real culprit? She knew well that the ways of the world and mind were complicated. You could think you were fine the entire time, but subconsciously be trying to kill yourself internally regarding the same thing you thought was fine to you. Miyu knew she did that often- perhaps that was the problem for Gloria as well?

No, that couldn't be it. Gloria seemed to be able to generally understand herself- was something else wrong? It doesn't seem like stress atavism though... It may be PTSD? But she seems like it hasn't to do with the past... Though it might still be... Without another word in her mind, she sped off to see Rebecca, the therapist in charge of Gloria's case. "I'd like to speak with you about your client, Becca. I want to trade ideas with you."

Gloria fell asleep rather quickly, but not all of the night was restful. A nightmare plagued her once again.

First, all is dark and silent. Then a rhythmic drum beat, and dark goes to grey then comes into focus as smoke rising from a campfire. Chanting follows, tribesman dancing around the fire, tossing in random twigs, leaves and powders. Tied down to the ground and held by stakes was a man. He was wide-eyed and almost foaming at the mouth. Whenever a tribesman stepped near the man, they would dash something from their hands down upon him.

After some time, the chanting stops, and the tribesman go back to their homes, leaving just the shaman and the man tied to the ground. The shaman chanted a few more words, sprinkled some dust over the man, and left him.

The next morning, the man was gone, the ropes and stakes were as well. A wild howling came from the bush, followed by screams, which quickly subsided.

The perspective shifts to a dizzying first-person view of a mad dash through the brush and suddenly... a stop.

Blood drips from the banana leaves, gibbets of meat cling to branches and roots. A figure crouches over what once was a body of some sort. The head turns, it's my own!


She bolted upright and panted for a full minute before dragging herself out of bed to splash water on her face and brush her teeth. Gloria swore she could still taste the blood.

Late that night, Miyu had begun pacing outside again. She couldn't sleep- she felt no need, and did not want to. She was utterly and entirely awake, not a blink from her eyes making her at all fatigued. As she stood near a tree, gazing about, she could recall random memories, some bitter, some sweet, some in between. One particular one came to her, causing her to clench her fists- what had happened to him? The one person she had missed more than anything since what felt like the beginning of time- where was he now? Besides the fact he was an archaeologist, she had no idea.

The sun was still bright and shining obnoxiously through the dusty old windows of that run-down building that we'd called home. We were small children racing about hallways in a game of tag that day, weren't we? He was 'it' at that point. I crashed into the Father of our little orphanage, whom was frowning. He held my hand and looked at the boy that I'd been playing with. "Miyu, I'd like you to meet your new family."

I cried desperately. What did he mean new family? He and the boy were my family! Weren't they? I tried to pull away and cling to my friend, but I was dragged off. I remember them signing papers... I cried consistently the entire time. Joey couldn't even calm me a miniature bit. When they took me home, they had to carry me while I kicked and screamed constantly. Joseph cried too, I think. But what's happened since then? I'm worried in a way... but more than anything... I want my brother back...
She cried lightly to herself as she leaned her head against the tree, pain filling her blood from that one memory in and of itself.

The next day found Gloria back outside again. After breakfast she insisted on going back outside, though this time an orderly was no more than 20-30 feet from her at all times, but Gloria had tuned him out in no time. She sat at the bench and stared out into the distance. The previous day had seemed like one large dream. She hadn't seen her doctor yet this morning, which was unusual, because she was usually the one who came in and woke her up. It was something she'd insisted upon from almost the first day Gloria checked in.

Gloria replayed the previous day and her nightmare in her mind over and over, trying to make sense of it all, but after awhile, her mind settled into a general daze, and she just sat there, idle, hands neatly folded in her lap, eyes mostly closed and focused on the ground. She wished that she had taken her MP3 player with her so that she could listen to some music, but that was still on her nightstand. Gloria didn't want to move right now at all for some reason.

So she sat there, contemplating and meditating.

Miyu had walked outside earlier on, still in her own state of mental difficulty. As she walked about, circling the courtyard a few times, she found herself to stop short when she finally saw the image of someone she recognized. "Miss Gloria," She murmured, mostly to herself. Did the woman enjoy going outside so much? She assumed so.

Against the fact that she could tell the woman was meditating and thinking, she decided to interrupt anyway. Standing near the bench, not sitting nor making any particular movement besides that of her lips, she smiled while her eyes frowned at the same time. "Good morning, Miss Gloria. Enjoying the weather today? It's a bit breezy, don't you think?"

"Huh?" Gloria blinked, and her mouth opened and closed a few times, then finally she nodded. When she looked over at Miyu, that moment of pure lust she had the previous day washed over her again like a wave. She fought it off - at least for now - and cleared her throat.

Gloria looked down at her hands and knew there was something missing that she wanted, but couldn't put into words. What was happening to her? It seemed important too. Then she looked over at Miyu again and smiled a small, embarrassed, smile. "Not too bad. I hadn't noticed it much until now..." she bit her lower lip, wanting to say something else, Can I kiss you again? but she forced the words back down her throat like an unpleasant taste of medicine.

She crossed her arms across her chest, and finally said. "I didn't see my doctor this morning. She usually wakes me up and makes sure I eat breakfast. I wonder if she is all right?"

Miyu chuckled. "Sorry for pointing it out then. It's usually nicer when you don't notice something in some cases not to have it talked about." Smiling simply, she noted in a small gesture she was going to sit down before taking a seat at a far end of the bench, staring at the ceiling. "I haven't seen her either today, actually. But... She doesn't seem to be well. I think she got the flu or something... That's what's going around, anyway."

She looked at Gloria with curiosity staining the pure emeralds of her eyes. "Did you get enough rest? You were in such a daze a bit ago, I felt bad interrupting. I'm sorry if I took you from something important... I just enjoyed talking to you yesterday, so I thought it'd be fun to try again today. And to be honest, I really need to get out of my own head a bit." She let her cheer weaken, regrettably.

"Fun? Having a crazy woman kiss you then run off growling into the woods is fun?" Gloria laughed despite herself. "Well, now that I said it that way, that sounds pretty entertaining..."

She stretched a bit. "I just have had more and more bouts of... well, not being able to think, and acting on instinct, lately. It's totally not good for my profession! I have to rely on my mind to make sure I am helping my patients, not hurting them or, or, worse!"

A shudder went through her, as she thought of the time she seriously considered holding that extra pillow that Mrs. Watson ordered over her face for a few minutes. "I'm supposed to be a healer, and I can't even fix myself. It's beyond frustrating, doctor..." Gloria didn't want to use her first name for some reason. It seemed inappropriate somehow.

Her eyes went down to the ground again for a moment as she paused.
