Oh Yes, it is true. Dr Judith Wardeyn will show up in this attire for the hotel party at the Cortez. She will be keeping her goggles on.

“That’s the thing, I don’t really care that much. He didn’t care enough when I was little and now he cares too much to make up for it or something. I don’t know if that’s how he feels or not, but that’s how it seems.”

“Yes! You’d make the best Harry Potter lady.” It made Chris laugh to even think about it; he’d kill to see someone in a profession such as this to just let loose and not be so professional all the time. Of course, he could tell that Jude could be like that already, and he loved it. All of his former doctors had been too serious, too concerned with his health to have a little fun. “I have scratch and sniff ones!” He said with a grin. “My sister, Kimber, she put some in my room at the house before she had to go back home. We exchanged some little stuff like that when her and daddy came to help me move.” And he missed her, wished that she could’ve stayed with him, but he knew that it wasn’t a good idea, at least not yet. “I think this is gonna go well. Thank you for not being a bitch, a lot of doctors are so mean.”

[dr-warden-wardeyn-blog]

“Ah yes. The past is hard to make up for. I guess time will tell in sincerity. I hope for your sake it’s real. Trust is hard to give once it’s been broken.” 

“That’s funny. I think the last three clients to come in here have called me a bitch to my face today and one behind my back, but loud enough to hear. OH wait, no that was an employee. Nevermind.” She laughed it off. There really was a reason Dr. Wardeyn was referred to as “the warden” as if she was the warden of a prison not a director or doctor of a medical facility. But, at this point Chris hadn’t done anything to trigger her horns to come flairing out. She was a good doctor after all. At least she was an award-winning one until she’d created the rehab program that was driving her name through the mud in the medical community now. But, after the deal she’d made with Willliam McAdams, hopefully her name would be back in lights and on the covers of medical journals again. Just the idea of it was putting some spark back into this ol’ girl again. “It was a pleasure, Chris. I’ll be seeing you soon. I look forward to next appointment and hopefully some time inbetween.”

“He thinks he has a say in everything I do. And I mean, really, it’s my fault, I’ve always asked for his opinion on stuff and just did what he said. He could ask me to do anything and I probably would, I feel bad if I don’t, he knows that if he says something about inpatient I wouldn’t fight him on it for very long. I don’t have the energy to fight him over shit like that anymore.” 

The one thing he’d gotten out of life that seemed to be necessary were manners, and he was thankful for that. Sure, he could get rude or snippy with people at times, but he usually tried to be nice, especially to people that were helping him. “I’ll get you some cool doctor looking glasses at the store when I go. Big nerd kind of glasses, those are like doctor glasses, kinda,” A grin settled onto his lips as he spoke. “I’m comfortable sharing, I’ll bring it. I’ll get one and put some pictures in it or something, if I do that it’ll make me wanna open it. I used to put stickers and stuff in ones that I’ve had before.”

[dr-warden-wardeyn-blog]

“At least it shows you both care.” 

“Ohhh, gifts. I can go Harry Potter nerd too if I add a cloak.” Of course Jude would say this. Damn her and her lack of powers. If she had them she’d take over the whole damn place. Speaking of she really needed to get together with Rhiannon again. Maybe she should call her up and invite her to her show? That might be fun. Ladies Night! “Get those puffy stickers I like those. Or scratch and sniff.” Jude actually giggled. Her inner child came out in those words. “Alright. I think we have a plan Chris.”

“What I was taking in the hospital wasn’t even working, really, y’know? I just felt numb a lot. I mean, that was better than feeling bad, but still. I hope this helps,” He tucked his bangs behind his ear and gave her a little smile, nodding. “Things need to be under control because I don’t wanna fuck up. Daddy’s already said that he’d have me moved back to inpatient if I didn’t get my shit together,” He rolled his eyes at the thought of it. “He thinks I’m gonna do something stupid again.”

“Maybe wear glasses. Those would make you look scary like a doctor.” He said with a grin. “If I try a journal again am I supposed to bring it in with me next week, or no? I have photos I can bring, too, family pictures and stuff like that.” Leaning back, he stretched out and put his feet back on the floor. “I think I can do that. I’ll get a notebook or something from the dollar store. Or a nice one from the book store, they always have nice journals. I saw one, one time that had a burlesque dancer on it with glitter and stuff, it was cute.”

[dr-warden-wardeyn-blog]

“You are an adult. There would have to be an incident or your consent. He doesn’t have such say so. But, understand what you’re getting at.”

“I’ll try to remember that.” Jude laughed. At least Chris was a friendly type of patient. It helped the day go by a little quicker. “You find yourself something cute to keep you motivated to try. Bring it in next week if you’re comfortable sharing.” 

[sunktheglcw-blog]

“So, if my heart doesn’t feel like it’s gonna jump out of my chest I should be okay, right?” He looked over the paper again, unfolding it a bit so he could see it. “Do you think this is gonna help? More than what I’m already on, I mean. My last doctor was kind of an asshole, wouldn’t up my dosage or anything.”

Leaning forward, Chris watched her as she wrote, trying to see what she was writing. “Yeah? It’ll be fun. Seeing you out of the doctor setting is gonna be weird, though, I’ve never, like, hung out with a doctor outside of their office or a hospital or whatever.” He nodded, shifting and leaning back in his seat again. “I’ve got a lot to say about family and friends and stuff, I hope you’re ready to deal with that. I could probably go on forever about them. I know that different parts of my family have affected me a lot, they’re very different. I haven’t kept a journal in forever, not since I was living in Nevada. I was supposed to in the hospital but it just ended up being doodles and scribbles.”

[dr-warden-wardeyn-blog]

“Yes. It’s just my job to make sure you’re aware of the possible symptoms. And yes. That’s what I’m hoping it will. Trying to help things feel more manageable. And well, you’re in Briarcliff now. We’ll see if we can get things a little more under control.” She smiled always trying to keep patients realistic about the effects. 

“I could wear a white coat to feel more intimidating?” She teased. “And don’t worry. I want to see that. Your family, friends. The whole picture. That’s the idea. Maybe you could try the journal again? Sometimes if you just set aside ten or fifteen minutes out of your day to just write and write no matter what comes out, you surprise yourself what actually gets revealed, even to yourself. Do you think you could try that for me this week too? I don’t want to do too much at once. Break into this easy.” 

[sunktheglcw-blog]

“So is the medicine gonna make it worse? Or make it happen more often or something? Like, I already get that feeling and feel kinda shaky when I’m going home, it scares the shit out of me. It shouldn’t, but it does and I don’t know what to do to get over that.”

“Everything is fine on the outside, I can deal with stuff that goes on. You’re right, though, inside it freaks me out and I don’t know what to do. I’ve been taking care of myself forever, I should be able to handle shit but I can’t sometimes. I wouldn’t mind at all if you came by, though, that’d be cool. Stop in whenever you want, I should be there. If I’m not out front I’d be in the back somewhere, probably still getting ready or changing or something.”

[dr-warden-wardeyn-blog]

“Hopefully it won’t affect you like that at all. It’s just one of the side effects we should watch out for to make sure it’s a good fit for you.” The doctor explained. 

“Well thank you. I have a feeling I’ll drop in sometime this week then.” She looked over her notes writing things down. “I’ll tell you what. I think this is good for now. I just also think when you come next week we should make it a goal to get into some more specifics. You’re just getting settled in and getting a good routine going with your job. But, next time I want hear a little more about specific people in your life. Bosses, co-workers, customers, friends, family. Sometimes the healing process is about processing your life and really seeing how different people and things affect you. Have you ever kept journal?” 

[sunktheglcw-blog]

“So drinking with this is bad, then?” He raised a brow, looking it over before folding it in half and nodding. “I’m trying not to fight all of this, I know what I need to do and that this is part of it, I just don’t want to sometimes. It seems easier to just stop everything and suffer in peace at home in bed.” And he knew that, that was bad, but he really couldn’t help it no matter how hard he tried. “Heart pounding sounds scary. That happens enough by itself when I go home, I get scared that there’s gonna be someone in the house or something.”

“The only games I’ve ever played online were those stupid dress up games and some of the ones on the Disney website with my sister. I might look into that, though.” He waved his hand dismissively at the next comment, shaking his head. “That was when I was a teenager. Twenty minutes off the Vegas Strip wasn’t really a good place to raise a kid, I guess.” Chris would admit, though, that at that time in his life he was addicted to gambling. With his habit of skipping school he just had more time to go to the casinos and it didn’t take much for the lights and sounds from the slot machines to pull him in. He’d gotten over that fairly quickly, though, and could probably handle going to a casino again at this point in his life, it’d been years since he’d even set foot in one. “The bills are getting paid, so I guess they’re okay. I’m still trying to figure out this whole thing about having to pay bills before going shopping unless I want my lights to get turned off, but I’m working on it. Daddy’s handling some of it still,” If he were left alone completely without any form of financial support from someone, Chris knew that he’d be completely fucked. “But I’m working on handling money properly. It’s hard, but I’m trying.”

[dr-warden-wardeyn-blog]

“Heart pounding isn’t good. All the more reason to call if you feel it. We need to know the difference and we need to keep track of how often feelings like happen for you when you’re alone.” 

“It sounds like on the outside the world is getting handled and the inside still feels shaky as ever. I wondered if how comfortable you’d feel if I dropped by and saw you in your work environment? I’d love to see your art. But, I’d like to see the atmosphere. Your life up close per sae?” 

[dr-warden-wardeyn-blog]

So I updated the Asylum’s cafe file page. Check it out if you have a patient. Make sure nothing’s incorrect. If there’s anything you’d like to see added please let know. It’ll help in playing the doctor. If your characters have specific birth dates to add, let me know that too. Thanks ya’ll.

He nodded along as she spoke, propping his elbows on his thighs and resting his chin in his hands. “Is it gonna help make things better? I mean, I believe you, but I’ve never been on anything else. I don’t even know much about what I’m on now.” That wasn’t his fault, though - he’d asked questions, been told the basics, but when he pressed further with his father he was told nothing more than that it was going to help him. Looking up at her, he shrugged before taking a moment to think that over. “I mean, I like to work out,” He said finally. “I like to cook sometimes for other people and I play gameboy if the battery gets charged. I used to gamble a lot, that was a good hobby.”

[dr-warden-wardeyn-blog]

Dr. Wardeyn ripped off the script ticket and passed it to Chris. “There are side effects. Keep me up to date. Limit alcohol with this stuff. You aren’t really describing mild or even just chronic depression which I might add is normal when you’ve had traumatic loss as you’ve had. I don’t want you falling back into old habits when you’re doing so well. It sounds like your trying to fight yourself on all this. So, just watch for heart pounding. If anything like that happens we’ll have to cut your dose or change it up completely.” 

She listened to the hobbies. “Well that’s all good stuff. Have you ever played games online? Like Xbox live? I know it helps many people find a way to socialize and have people in their lives without really going out.” She heard the gambling one last and lifted a brow. “I see. Well, I’d just keep an eye on that if you do. It’s another one of those things that can become addictive.” And Jude knew this patient had an addictive personality. It was honestly killing Jude to not say she was singing in a casino-themed place in Little Orleans in just a few hours time. She didn’t want to encourage a potentially destructive behavior to an obsessive personality like Chris’s. But, she also knew when one cut themselves off of the world they love completely it was a like turning someone into a ticking time bomb. “How are you finances lately?” She had to make sure Chris was still as well off as before. But, even the wealthiest people have driven themselves into bankruptcy over gambling or drugs. But, Jude felt like she needed to get good feel for this patient.

OOC TASK 4

This one did actually give me wtf? But, only for a second because it makes sense in her answers. The reality is she’s heterosexual, but due to everything that’s happened to her this subject just isn’t what she’s about in any way. She had always put her career above everything. She even went for In vitro when she finally decided no man was good enough for her, age was catching up, her biological clock was ticking, and she wanted to have kids. Of course in the meantime Bayden was conceived of a rape and she decided to keep him. So, that gives her complex issues on top of everything else in her life when it comes to this stuff. She’s attracted to men. She just pretty much doesn’t trust one with a ten foot pole. 

IC TASK 4

If she were to take this Icly I really think she’d just be offended and go get drunk, as usual.
