Dr. X's Island Page 3


  Things to hide about yourself

  1.That Dr. X was refusing to continue your treatments. 

  2.That you are in fact going a little feral, well maybe a lot. You have trouble controlling your anger sometimes and are getting very touchy about people touching your paws.. excuse me I meant your hands and feet. 

  3.You’ve developed a tail- proof, to some, that the operations have progressed to quickly. 

  Things to reveal about others.

  Phase One:

  You saw that Terry Talbot standing outside the kitchen right before Dr. X got feed his poisonous meal.

  Phase Two:

  You saw Crab Cakes outside the lab window. Inside you heard Dr. Bo and Dr. X yelling. Something about how one of the creatures was learning to breath underwater. Dr. X wanted to put the creature down and Bo was against it. You’re not sure what the whole thing was about but Crab Cakes defiantly heard it in detail.

  Phase Three:

  You know that Deadra Molysocken, a columnist for Horticulture Daily- a publication your ex used to read- has written many articles about the poisonous nature of our world. In other words, she is a poison expert. 

  ******************************************************************************

  Terry Talbot came to the island some years ago for an operation. Most people agree it was successful though Terry often times has trouble remembering. His memory was not the only thing affected by the operation: Terry Talbot likes to dress like a UPS man.

  FOR YOUR EYES ONLY

  When you dress like a UPS man you feel safe, secure and it’s lots of fun. You enjoy wandering the island pretending to deliver packages. Your memory is very bad. Entire days sometimes disappear on you. Only this morning you found yourself standing outside the kitchen for no reason.

  You have fleeting vision of a time when you dressed like a normal man and you knew something about Dr. X that he wanted hidden. You remember having a physical fight with him long ago. You don’t remember this all the time mind you, just sometimes. These memories come and go as easily as the packages you deliver. But when you remember to be, you are very pissed at Dr. X. He took your memory away. What is a UPS man without a memory?

  Things to keep hidden about yourself:

  1.That you are pissed at Dr. X for messing with your mind during the operation. 

  2.That you found yourself outside the kitchen this morning but don’t remember how you got there or what you were doing. 

  3.That you had a physical fight with Dr. X years ago- after the first operation and before the second.

  Things to reveal about other players

  Phase one:

  You were delivery a package about a week ago (you think) when you overheard Grace Church telling Dr. X that his wife was having an affair with the cook. She seemed more upset than he did.

  Phase Two:

  You saw Crab Cakes gathering supplies in the woods. Looks to you like she is planning on leaving the island.

  Phase Three:

  You remember seeing a tail on the gymnast, Jo Claire Masterson. It was while you were out delivery packages to some of the small woodland creatures deep in the forest that you saw her in a tree, eating a squirrel, her tail exposed.
