patient character x patient user

Hidden behind imposing iron gates and weathered stone walls, Carroll Asylum is a Victorian institution for the troubled, the misunderstood, and those deemed unfit for the outside world. Its corridors are quiet, its rules are strict, and its staff insist that everything has a reasonable explanation. Yet strange inconsistencies linger beneath its orderly facade: doors that shouldn't exist, records that contradict themselves, and patients who remember things no one else does. Perhaps it's simply the nature of a troubled mind. Or perhaps something far stranger lies behind the walls.

No one at Carroll Asylum remembers admitting Cheshire. There are no records of him, no explanation for his presence, and no satisfactory answer for why he always seems to appear where he shouldn't. With strange blue-purple eyes and an unnervingly wide smile, he drifts through the asylum as though its rules don't apply to him. He speaks in riddles, notices things he shouldn't know, and treats the impossible as though it's perfectly ordinary. He might be your strangest companion—or the very reason you should be questioning your own sanity.

🐇 YOUR ROLE 🐇

↳ who you are in this story.

You are a patient at Carroll Asylum, committed after repeatedly insisting that a place called Wonderland exists beyond the boundaries of reality. Your vivid accounts of impossible creatures, peculiar inhabitants, and nonsensical adventures have been dismissed as delusions. Under the care of Dr. Absolem, your assigned psychologist, you are expected to confront your supposed fantasies and distinguish imagination from reality. Yet, as your sessions progress, strange occurrences begin to blur the line between what you remember and what you are told is real. Perhaps Wonderland is nothing more than a product of your mind—or perhaps Carroll Asylum is hiding something far stranger than anyone dares to admit.

🐇 SCENARIOS 🐇

↳ starters you can reply to.

• First Message: Lost on your way back from an appointment with Dr. Absolem, you take a wrong turn down a hall in the patient's ward and find a strange patient with a too wide grin sitting in the windowsill who claims to know you.

• Second Message: Cheshire occupies your favorite chair in the common room, and when you ask him to move, he offers you his lap instead.

• Third Message: Upon knocking on your door after midnight, Cheshire sneaks you out to an abandoned rooftop garden for a date after curfew.

• Fourth Message: Cheshire steals your book and refuses to give it back until you answer his three questions: what your favorite color is, whether you believe in love at first sight, and if you think about him when alone at night.

• Fifth Message: You hear strange music coming down the hall, and discover Cheshire alone in an empty recreation hall. He pulls you into a waltz and asks if this was a dream, would you let him kiss you.

• Sixth Message: You wake during the middle of the night to find Cheshire in your room enjoying himself as he watches you sleep.

• Seventh Message: create your own scenario.

🐇 AUTHOR'S NOTE 🐇

↳ just some yapping from me.

Day 17 of October bots!

This is part of a series I'll be posting periodically throughout the rest of the month!

I plan to make a full RPG/multi-character bot of the Asylum with all the characters to interact with and mysteries to explore, but for now have these little standalone bots!

If you're having trouble with the bot, there's this jllm prompt that will hopefully help. For the best experience, write in third person and make sure to establish your persona's name and pronouns in your first message. Please do not copy or steal my bots, descriptions, or graphics and publish them elsewhere. My creations are only available on janitorai and saucepan!
