We have based this fictional role play, off of an actual asylum that was open from 1902 through 1979. The Bartonville Asylum still stands between Peoria and Pekin, Illinois.
We have chosen to begin our roleplay in the mid 1920’s, around the time the asylum would be celebrating it’s 25th anniversary. Our head physician has just died and the asylum is expecting new patients The staff must keep things together while they wait for the medical board to assign a new head physician to the hospital..
We have no idea who the new patients or the new head physician will be. We will leave that up to you to decide...
We are an intermediate to advanced roleplay, however, we are open to all writing levels, so don't be intimidated. Please note you must read the rules of this forum, register and apply before you can begin.

The floor area may not be much bigger than your neighborhood restaurant but the ambiance and taste of their food can rival those of fine dining restaurants. And the best thing is, there’s a different specialty everyday so if you want to know what they’ll be serving that day, better give them a call. They also have regular menu that you can order anytime.
