Turn 1 - St. Mary's Hospital
We find Jacob taking a much deserved break in St. Mary's employee break room. The hour is late, the sun having long disappeared below the horizon.
The day's events had left the psychology student tired and concerned. There had been a sudden rash of violent psychiatric patients, and he was eager to read anything else but someone's chart. Today's newspaper lying on the nearby table had been a welcome change. He was reading the section proclaiming Darke's Carnival had arrived in Arkham when one of the interns walked in, obviously on break for the next few minutes.
Having set shop in Arkham's northern district, the freak
show carnival is set to stay for an undefined period of time.
The Carnival's owner, 'Darke', expects that people will flood his
gates later on after sunset when the shows are set to begin.
"Come and get your fortune's read, or try your hand at the games...
everyone sure to find something that is to their liking."
Admission is free.
Tonight only!
"Hey Jake..." he waved as he realised you were there,
"remember that patient we dismissed earlier this morning? Ms. Jamieson...? She's seeing lights at the place next door again. Insists that there's something bad about the place... that it's been abandoned for years..." The intern gave a loud sigh as he reached for one of the mags,
"I'm sure the paddy wagon's going to pick her up again." He shook his head sadly, and half chuckled before taking a sip out of his mug.
"Hey..! You're about done your rounds, aren't you?"
