There's more to this world. You've seen it yourself and you have a secret you can share with the world. Just most people don't seem to believe you. The creatures are hidden in dark nooks and crannies, locked away behind chains of myth and legend. Lucky for you you've been given a skeleton key.
You are not content with mortal concerns. In fact, they bore you unless you can focus people's attentions on your own likes. You are the supernatural nerd, geeking out on the world of wonder that you see from your periphery.
You may or may not be introverted, but you dig into rumors and hearsay like an old fashioned rumormonger, gossip is your bread and butter. Spy on people, learn their little habits and dramatic buttons. When the time comes, unleash them upon your foes and watch the wonderfully weird in action. Just carry some aloes for when you inevitably get burned.
Hot +1, Cold -1, Volatile -1, Dark +1
Choose Two of the following
Cheshire Path: You may Run Away with Dark instead of Volatile. On a 7-9 you always run into something more dangerous or awkward than what you were fleeing from.
Powdered God In A Bag: Whenever you are under the influence of substances that alter your perceptions you may use one Move that is used against you, using Hot instead of whatever trait would normally be used.
Fascination Street: When Gazing Into The Abyss about anyone with the Fascinated Condition, Carry One Forward. Ā If you are Fascinated characters Carry One Forward to Gaze Into the Abyss about you.
Terabithia: Whenever you purposefully lead another character into a supernatural situation they Mark XP and you gain a String on them.
Through the Looking Glass: Whenever you are in a situation of obvious supernatural threat or action you may gain the Condition āFascinatedā instead of āTerrifiedā if appropriate.
Good Omens: Whenever you roll a 10+ on a Gaze Into the Abyss roll you may have the MC give the entire party confusing and random input instead of receiving a clear answer to your questions. All characters affected by this power gain the Condition āFascinated.ā
Mind the Gap: You know every nook and cranny of the supernatural forces of the city. You are always assumed to be able to perfectly survive and thrive in any bizarre scenario (underwater kingdoms, vast vacuums of space housing elder gods, faerie kingdoms held upside down by crystal spires, etc) but while you do so you have the Condition āFascinated.ā
Darkest Self: You are tired of the mortal life. You want to be more than you are, better than you are, just something different and unique. Take every opportunity to explore the freaks, geeks, and uniques at the expense of everyday concerns. Road trips to hell, spiral staircases to the gods, it's all in your grasp. Shirk all your mortal duties until they rot on the vine. Escape your darkest self when you are put in mortal danger by your pursuits or you realize the harm you have dealt by ignoring your problems.
Sex Move: When you have sex with someone both of you gain insight into the weirder problems of your lives. The MC must reveal a plot point of an upcoming episode that will effect both participants.

You know someone is more than they seem. Take 2 Strings on them.
Someone wants your attention. Give them 2 Strings and the Fascinated Condition.
You have a pair of friends who indulge your antics. Give each of them a String.
The Bedlam, like many Skins, is more powerful with people to aid them. Especially with the Bedlam's lack of overtly offensive skills and Moves. That is not to say you are helpless but you will often find yourself in over your head and dealing with drama and this is more than okay. Go to your friends for help and make them so Fascinated with you they can't help but do it.
The Moves Terabithia and Mind the Gap help you get people into your own interests and rewards you for enjoying them while Powdered God in a Bag allows you some retributive assaults against those who would attack you ā once you take the brunt of the attack that is.
Cheshire Path allows you an out during your escapades if you are willing to risk the clause with the contract and can lead to even more emotional turmoil. Fascination Street offers you ways to keep tabs on people and for others to realize when you are in danger as you will most likely be Fascinated by what you find and pairs well with Through the Looking Glass. Finally Good Omens can open up the potential for the entire cast to go on wild goose chases that end in hidden treasures with a good tool for the MC to direct people.
My new Skin based on Alice in Wonderland and those who love the weird and wonderful they are around - and those kids who never listen to their parentsā or eldersā advice.
