The Evil Under Your Bed [All are EX] (Seeking M/F)

[GloomCookie]

Anatomy Gallery (f, 18+)
A young woman in medical school gets an exclusive chance to attend the Rottendam Medical Academy for the summer.  The Academy is very exclusive, and only a handful of applicants are given the honor of attending.   Upon arrival, she finds very modern facilities on the cutting edge of medical science.  Also while she is there, she happens upon the Anatomy Gallery, a collection of plasticized humans with various portions of their anatomy exposed and preserved.  In the gallery, every part of the human body can be witnessed.

As her studies begin, dissections are common, as well as grueling tests.  She begins to make friends amongst the other students, going to parties and attending other functions.  Students who do not meet the requirements of the rigorous class work are cut from the program and sent home.  She notices, however, that shortly afterwards, the gallery gets a new addition.  While it might be a coincidence, it's too strange not to warrant looking into.

Carnival of Horrors (m/f, 16+)
The tiny town of Specter looks forward to the annual carnival to come calling.  For years, the carnival would arrive at the beginning of October and stay until November 1st, holding a huge party every year on Halloween.  Most of the festivities revolve around it being fall, but this year it would seem things are different.  A new set of trucks rumbles through town, heading for the fairgrounds.  As they begin to set up, a town meeting is called.

Dressed in a tight business suit and holding a cane, a woman explains that she now owns the carnival company, and that the carnival is going through a few changes.  Among them, the carnival is now focused on horror and fear, and would glorify Halloween.  Of course, the children are excited, while many of the adults try and shun the newcomers, believing them to be a threat to their small-town values.

Regardless, when the carnival opens, everyone is excited to see what awaits.  There are areas for the children and adults, but there is a special area reserved only for young adults aged 16 and over.  Hidden behind high walls, screaming and laughing can be heard as teenagers have fun.  It sounds wonderful, and of course every teen is eager to see what awaits only them behind the walls.

Domestic Disturbance (m/f, 18+)
The sleepy town of Bleak River is a very rural community.  Most of the residents are loggers for the sawmill, and the crime rate is very low.  Most residents go to the only church in town every Sunday, and generally a few kids take up work at the mill when the older employees retire.  Life is simple, and no one thinks of changing it up.

The Gilliam County Sherriff's Department gets maybe one call a month, at most, and the handful of deputies know most everyone around.  That' s why everyone finds it strange when there's a call of a domestic disturbance at 104 E. Main, where the Millers used to live.  They had moved here and their marriage hit a few snags, with Mr. Miller eventually murdering his wife and torching the house with his two children inside.

Thinking it's just a prank, they dispatch a deputy to investigate and see if anyone's messing around at the slab, the only thing remaining from the fire.

The 13th Floor (f, 16+) [TAKEN]
Everyone knows that elevators don't go to the 13th floor of a building due to superstition, and almost every elevator obeys this rule.  That is, except for the Harlequin University Library.  The top shelf is number 13, though anyone who goes up there finds locked bars with a sign that reads, Special Archives. Permission Needed to be on this floor.

A young woman looking for work while she goes to school gets a job at the library.  It's easy money, putting books away in order and making sure everyone's studying and not trying to make out or worse in some corner.  Her job is pretty easy, until one day the librarian points her to a stack of books and tells her to go to the 13th floor and archive them, handing her a key.  Nervously, she pushes the cart onto the elevator and presses 13.

The elevator climbs the many floors before finally opening onto the 13th floor.  After unlocking the gate, she begins the process of finding where each book goes amongst the collection.  It's easy and soon she's done.  As she waits for the elevator, she notices a door marked, Do Not Enter.  She is curious, but she goes back downstairs before she does anything about it.

She works normally, but every month or so, the librarian gives her another cart of special archives.  Each time, she asks about the door, only to be told not to go in under any circumstances.  A good worker does what she's told, and she tries to ignore it every time she's up there.  But eventually, curiosity gets the better of her, and instead of going straight back down like she normally does, she goes and uses the keys to unlock the door.

Sleep Study (f, 16+) [TAKEN]
A young woman has been having trouble sleeping.  The usual remedies, such as warm milk, aren't working, and even the sleep aids are starting to fail.  Her performance in class is starting to slip, and eventually she is taken to the doctor.  He gives her some better sleep aids and tells her to come back if those don't work, but eventually she does come back.  Worried, he refers her to the Hartford Mental Hospital for a routine sleep study.

Hartford seems like just another hospital, at least from the outside.  Upon arrival, she is warmly greeted and every accommodation is made for her.  Soon she is ready for bed, with electrodes on her body.  She closes her eyes and attempts to sleep, finding she's able to actually sleep.  But when she awakens, that's when the nightmare begins.

Lonely Road (m/f, 18+, 2 players)
Fall in New England is beautiful, with trees turning beautiful shades of color and plainting the landscape.  A young couple is happily exploring this beautiful landscape one weekend while taking a small holiday from classes.  They are enjoying the crisp October air and beautiful scenery during the day, and of course each other at night, as a young couple are want to do.

Finally it comes time to return home, and they must drive through rural New York to get back.  But with so many curving roads, the young couple makes a wrong turn somewhere and finds themselves lost on the back roads.  When the car runs out of gas, they happen to spot a lonely farm house in the distance, heading there to hopefully find assistance.

The older couple is happy to let them in, though they explain there's nothing to be done till morning.  They offer the couple the barn and a couple of extra blankets for the cold, explaining there is a spare bed out there.  The couple heads for the barn and soon is bunked down together, snuggled close for warmth.  Things won't be so cuddly in the morning, however.

The Farm (m/f, 18+, 2 players)
There are things people just don't talk about in rural Johannesburg, and one of them is the old McCray Farm.  Long ago abandoned, no one goes out there because they say the ghosts of that night haunt the farm and protect it.  Of course, a young couple eager to get away from hectic city life don't know this, and buy it up for next to nothing on a government tax auction.

The people of Johannesburg try to discourage the young couple when they arrive, but they're determined to stick with it.  They head out to the farm early in the morning, and never get seen again.

Field Work (f, 22+)
The FBI has just released the latest batch of special agents into the field to begin investigations.  After the clusterfuck following the collapse of Enron and the paranoia that terrorists might be anywhere, agents are being spread thin trying to investigate the myriad of cases that come up.  Hence why the agency has started sending some agents alone to try and handle cases considered to be minor, before they have a chance of becoming major problems.

One agent in particular, fresh from the Academy in Langley, Virginia, has been tasked with investigating Darnell Pharmaceuticals.  For years, the company's profit margins have floated along while companies producing similar drugs have tanked, and the IRS has been unable to account for the discrepancies after a thorough audit.  While it's always possible that the company is just managed more efficiently and their products are more popular than other brands, the FBI has still been asked to investigate following the disappearance of several employees.
