That One Patient

Case ID: #73104-921, Page 7

The Type-7 MSR from Canterlot has been delivered to the facility and its effects were readily noticeable. There was a change in behavior for Patient #73104-921 (Apollo Glint) where he seemed more responsive and his aggression was significantly reduced. As a result of yesterday’s incident where Mr. Glint experienced an Aggressive Magic Lashout (AML), We’ve transferred him to a specialized room in C-Wing where the walls are lined with the same magical properties as an MSR, essentially making it a theoretical “Sunaday Cage”. Furthermore, Mr. Glint’s free time has now been shortened and restricted to enable more effective observation. Apart from all that, nothing of note to report.

Below is a transcript of today’s interview between him and Dr. Farsight.

Farsight: Apollo, I trust you’ve had a good day today?

Apollo: Absolutely. I didn’t run into any problems except that nightmare I’ve had last night.

Farsight: Was it this “Mr. Skull”? You always talked about him

#73104-921 Yes, it was him.

Farsight: What about that dream scared you so much?

Apollo: It’s a bit hard to describe but I’ll do my best. I was in a rocky desert area, don’t know where but it might’ve been Appleloosa. I was being surrounded by razorsnakes of varying kinds as Mr. Skull watches the scene as he laughs at and taunts me. After that, the snakes started to devour me, slowly ripping the flesh from my bones! I swore I could feel every fang tear through me, every bit of that pain. It was only when a couple got to my eyes that I woke up. It.. was just horrifying.

Farsight: I know that it scared you. But, nightmares are just figments of your mind and aren’t real, no matter how real they feel. They can’t hurt you. How about we change things up a bit here. Do you remember what Mr. Skull looks like?

Apollo: Vaguely. Why?

Farsight: (Gives Apollo a piece of paper and pen) Why don’t you draw what he looks like? It doesn’t have to be detailed, just enough to where we can get a good enough idea as to what he looks like.

Apollo: Okay, but I’m a terrible drawer in general. (Draws a crude stick drawing of Mr. Skull) Here it is.

Farsight: (Looks at drawing) Okay, this will do. But unfortunately, that’s all the time we have for today as I have a meeting in an hour. Also, if you need to talk to me, don’t be afraid to ask me.

Apollo: Is that allowed?

Farsight: I see no issue with that. (Gets up from his seat) Anything else you want to say?

Apollo: Yeah. The mashed potatoes here are terrible. Can you get the cooks to do better?

Farsight: (Giggles slightly) I can pull a few strings. Sure.
