The Plot: Patient's Manual;;

[[Welcome to Bethlehem Royal.]]

We are sorry. There is no easy nor simple way of saying this. We cannot sugarcoat it for you and it will not go down easily. We ask you to relax, breathe in deeply and brace yourself; the news may be too much for you to handle all at once:

You are dead. The world you knew before is no longer the world you now occupy. Your family is no longer with you. Your friends are not acknowledge here. Regardless of the status you held before, you are now just a wandering soul. There is no heaven and there is no hell for you.

But do not panic. We, as the staff of Bethlehem Royal, wish to help you. We want to dedicate our lives into guiding you back to your world, back to life. However, the process of doing so will not be easy. In the current state that you are in, it is impossible.

But we have the answer. The Director of this humble establishment has found a way in making that dream a reality. As you live in Bethlehem Royal, you will undergo a series of special... treatments. Do not question them. Do not go against them. Just rest assured, their sole purpose is to make you better. There are a few side effects but we are a hospital: We can easily handle whatever happens to you. And in the rare cases that we cannot, we will terminate you. It is for the best.

Upon registration you will be given a number and room assignment. Feel free to explore the hospital grounds; every area excluding the North Wing and the Director's Room without given permission, is accessible to you. Enjoy our gardens! Have a warm breakfast at our state of the art cafeteria!

Back in your room are four well-sized beds. Yes, you'll be sharing your room. Aren't you lucky? Each bed has a small desk and chair on it's right side, fitted with a small computer. This computer will allow you to communicate with other patients; we stress building relationships with others to a grand degree. We even allow video-chat and voice-chatting, for those more daring.

The computer will allow you access to the bulletin board system; other than chatting you may order items from the gift shop or take up a job listing from the doctor and patient's notes area. New applications may be fitted in the future.

Will is the currency of the hospital. Dollar bills and coins are not used here. There are different ways to earn it, as we listed before. Find and use them the way that suits you best. Enough will may even allow you to check out of the hospital, although we'd be sad to see you go. Your Will is accumulated into your computer, into the bank application. It is also placed on your collar, for the staff to deduct or add with ease.

A Reminder. There is a small red collar located around your neck. Have you noticed? Good, there is something important you must know: You cannot take it off. It is unbreakable. There really isn't any reason you should; it's contains your personal information and identification number. Without it, you are nothing.

Please enjoy your stay here.
