Let's talk about the surgery "sleep study" that happens .. occasionally. At night, I mean.

Who here has had it? What did they do to you? If you don't feel safe saying so in public, if you could just give me a 'yes' or something to let me know I'm not alone, it wouldn't make me feel any better, but.. um.. just, please answer, okay?

I have. You aren't alone.

Well, ah, I already kind of knew I wasn't alone, because they took my roommate good friend a few nights before they took me, which was also a few nights ago... What did they do to you, if you don't mind me asking?

[opposingheaven.livejournal.com]

They tried to make me into someone I'm not yet.

They did something to one of my eyes, changed its colour and got some half mad woman to cut my face open. There's other effects but not something I'm gonna' say on here I'm afraid. But if you ever want to talk, I'm easy to find.

Oh my goodness.. That's terrible.

One last question. Did they use anast anesthesia?

It's okay if you don't want to answer. I'm sorry to be so nosy. I might come find you sometime. There can't be too many people with face scars and two different eye colors.

[opposingheaven.livejournal.com]

No. Nothing to numb the pain.

I'm fine answering, just not so fond of doing it where anyone at all can see.

[unmocked-lawr.livejournal.com]

I was taken last night. I am as of yet unsure about what, exactly, they did to me.

I confess I am somewhat curious if there is any pattern to the people who have been selected, as well as the...procedures involved in the sleep studies.

[part1of3.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry about that.

Did they say anything at all to you about what you did? To me they said that I'd figure it out eventually, or something, and.. um.. well, I've had headaches ever since, but there were other things too...

I don't know if there's a pattern. I always did what the nurses and doctors told me to do, so I don't know if it's punishment..

[unmocked-lawr.livejournal.com]

The man who was operating on me claimed that he was 'improving' me, if such words are to be believed. I have also had headaches.

As did I. I'm not saying it's punishment; I simply don't believe that their choice of...subjects is random.

[part1of3.livejournal.com]

That's.. weird. Well, if you have the headaches during the day, don't forget to tell the nurses. They'll give you something for the pain. At night... well, there are ways to get drugs to help, but I don't know how other than.. uhhh, let's just say the nurses have them at night, too.

Yeah. I don't think so either. I think I'm going to ask my doctor about it the next time I have a visit with her. She's gotta know even if she is kind of terrifying and she'll probably kill me

[unmocked-lawr.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the advice, but I'll manage.

I'm certain my doctor thinks I'm absolutely mad already; that's unlikely to change if I attempt to discuss this issue with him.

[part1of3.livejournal.com]

Ah- okay.

Well, I mean, we're all supposed to be crazies, aren't we? It's not surprising, I mean, that the doctors think that. Of course, if I actually did what my doctor told me I was supposed to have done, I think I'd call myself crazy, too..

[unmocked-lawr.livejournal.com]

I have a feeling he thought I was comparatively sane before my last session with him. It's of no consequence now.

[forgot-my-life.livejournal.com]

You're not the only one. Not by far.

[part1of3.livejournal.com]

...That's disheartening. I mean, I knew I wasn't the only one, but- goodness me, it's more people than I thought.

[light-wicca.livejournal.com]

I had it last night. I don't know if They It was one of the scariest things I

_{[more has been vigorously crossed out]}

[part1of3.livejournal.com]

It's - it's okay. I mean, it's not, but.. um.. would you like to talk about it sometime? Or something? It might make you feel better?

[light-wicca.livejournal.com]

I... yeah, okay. That might help.

What do you look like?

[part1of3.livejournal.com]

Um, I'm a guy.. somewhat tall.. brown hair and green eyes. There's a shaved patch and a scar on the back of my head... you can't miss it.

When would you like to meet?

[light-wicca.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure I'm not doing anything after lunch.

I'm a girl with red hair and, uh, brown eyes. I'll find you.

[part1of3.livejournal.com]

Okay. I'll see you then!

[Disguised as well as possible]

[bored-narrator.livejournal.com]

A few nights ago.

Re: [Disguised as well as possible]

[part1of3.livejournal.com]

Me too. Maybe it was on the same night, even. ...That's kind of weird to think about.

[Disguised as well as possible]

[bored-narrator.livejournal.com]

It is. It was five nights ago.

[part1of3.livejournal.com]

Oh, hey! What do you know, mine too. So they were torturing us at the same time... ...how strange.

[bored-narrator.livejournal.com]

Yeah, strange...

((The entire thing's been heavily scratched out))

[grosse-sklaven.livejournal.com]

They wanted to make me into someone I'm not

[part1of3.livejournal.com]

I don't know what you said, but I - I'm sorry about that. If you'd like to talk about it, um, not on the board, I wouldn't mind?

((Anonymous))

[grosse-sklaven.livejournal.com]

I had to collect my thoughts. It seems like people are taken every other night... about six at a time, perhaps less than that, if memory serves. So far as I know, no one has been taken twice, so... try to take some comfort from that. Nothing more should happen. Hopefully.

[handwriting is shaky, as if the writer was nervous]

[high-prosecutor.livejournal.com]

They took me the first night I was here and made me relive my worst memories. To add insult to injury, I have a constant reminder and a scar to match it.

[part1of3.livejournal.com]

Your first night? That's - that's horrible! Oh my goodness.

...I have a scar too. Where's yours?

[strikeouts shakier than usual, but still legible]

[high-prosecutor.livejournal.com]

It was not the warmest welcome, no.

Mine is at the back of my neck, right at the hairline, from a very large needle.

I...I wonder. Has anyone else had aftereffects? Voices, visions?

[unmocked-lawr.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[strikeouts performed hastily, still legible if one tries]

[part1of3.livejournal.com]

A needle, huh? I got one of those, too. And a drill and a scalpel and

Voices during. Premonitions - or something - after.

[unmocked-lawr.livejournal.com]

...perhaps the three of us should meet sometime.

[part1of3.livejournal.com]

I'd be up for that, actually. If we can find a common thread between us..

[high-prosecutor.livejournal.com]

Lunch tomorrow?

[part1of3.livejournal.com]

Okay. Um, maybe we should exchange names? The staff's probably figured out who we are by now, anyway..

[unmocked-lawr.livejournal.com]

I'll be there.

The name's Javert. Greying hair, tied back; brown eyes; sideburns. I look rather older than most of the patients here.

[high-prosecutor.livejournal.com]

Then we have a plan. I'm Miles Edgeworth - 6', grey hair, brown eyes.

[strikeout v. v. heavily crossed out]

[part1of3.livejournal.com]

Oh!! Mr. Edgeworth! You've been spending some time with my b Dias! I think I saw you the other night, um.. Wow, I didn't know.

I'm Ashton Anchors. I have green eyes and brown hair, but there's a shaved patch in the back. Hard to miss. Um... I'm pretty tall, too. I'll keep a look out for both of you!

Re: [strikeout v. v. heavily crossed out]

[high-prosecutor.livejournal.com]

Your name sounds familiar. Had we met before, or did I know you through someone else? Maybe Dias mentioned you, or Phoenix Wright, even though he isn't here anymore someone else...

[part1of3.livejournal.com]

I - don't remember. I don't think we met formally... But you did know Mr. Wright, didn't you? I think I accidentally got pancake on him once but Ahhh.. what a strange twist of fate..

How well do you know Dias, anyway?

[heartcrown.livejournal.com]

I was taken a few nights ago.

[part1of3.livejournal.com]

There are too many of us...

I'm so sorry.

[heartcrown.livejournal.com]

It ... it looks that way. It's frightening, but ... perhaps somehow we can all team up together and take back what we've lost.

[part1of3.livejournal.com]

Yes! I can live with the headaches, but most of all I want my hair back! They had no right to take that!! And my dragons would be nice too but

Well, at least we're alive. They've already taken so much.. but they can't take our lives. Not so easily, anyway.

[k4t4str0ph4l.livejournal.com]

They dragged me off, cut open my head, and did something to my telepathy. Basically, ask yourself the question 'what would some stupid asshole do to royally piss off a telepath', and your answer will be what they did to me.

[part1of3.livejournal.com]

They cut open my head, too. I guess you could ask yourself the question 'what would some terrible person do to worry a Heraldic fencer the most', and your answer would be much the same? Uhh..
