All of the medicines that you choose to trial are completely harmless.
Should you still maintain interest, please deliver the attached form -- fully filled out with your name, medical information, and proper identification -- to our testing facilities on the 8th of February, 2010.

What are you most afraid of?
I hope this has seemed sufficiently unsettling. Ladies and Gentlemen, I am a connoisseur of the frightening; I love to scare myself, and frankly, I don't know why. I realize that, in a written medium, this is quite difficult to do properly, but I aim to challenge that claim with this scenario. Take, if you will, a story, in which your characters delve into a quite-literal hell of fear and paranoia; all kinds of urban legends and creepypasta coming together under one roof. Your goal? Survive and escape. Hopefully, without anything escaping with you. I will be going to all parts of the internet rumor mill to draw the horror home. Don't worry; you'll be in good hands.
Now, yes, you may have noticed the Horzine / Killing Floor reference. For the most part, I just picked the name because it sounded cool; this is supposed to be a psychological roleplay, rather than an action-oriented one. However, I may pluck one or two "experiments," should I feel the need. Anyway, that's besides the point. Due to my powers of being a moderator, I can offer a few more...interesting possibilities with this roleplay than others. For example, I may take it to other boards: How do you find the passcode to a door, for example? Well, a clue may be left here, that leads to another thread, in which I've slipped in an edited word or phrase that may help. Don't worry, I won't make you go digging; if anything, it'd be in the first post. However, there are many more fun opportunities that I won't elaborate on until we're in the game.
I only require a few things for this Roleplay: A decent grasp on literacy, and human characters.
