OOC: Delirium Primer

First there was a Death primer, then came the Dream primer and the next sensible step would be to offer a Delirium primer also.

So if you've ever had a nervous breakdown, been driven insane, suffered from hallucinations, had a fever, seen things that aren't really there, heard voices, suffered from major paranoia, psychosis or any major mental health problems then you're probably one of Delirium's happy little playthings.

Delirium is not likely to remember much about you but if you would like her to know some things about your pups then please comment with their given names and any information about what occured then that would be peachy.

This is of course all optional but if you do wish to participate then *loffs*

You can take a peek here, (http://www.the-blank-slate.com/wiki/index.php?title=Scott_Landon) esp. under the headline darkness loves him.

Scott and his older brother Paul were raised by their dad. Scott's mom died when during childbirth, and Sparky Landon liked to joke with his son that he killed her by getting too big. He hid his sons from the census and home-schooled them, supposedly keeping them safe from rampant Nazis in backwoods Pennsylvania, but really, it was so no one questioned the deep cuts in their skin. Scott's father, never terribly stable, was prone to violent bouts of madness where he would inflict deep cuts on his boys to let out the "bad-gunky", Landonese for the violent insanity that apparently runs in the family. Luckily, something else that runs in the family is the ability to teleport, and Scott often does as a kid to get away from his dad, spending time in a place of his own creation called Boo'ya Moon (a vibrant-scary jungle paradise that Del would probably love).

Years and years after his father's death, Scott is still terrified of Sparky Landon, and of the "bad-gunky". He fears letting it out as much as he fears not letting it out, and though he still visits Boo'ya Moon, it gets harder to leave behind, and some of the monsters follow him home. As a result, he has some rules other people would likely think nuts: he won't eat fruit after dark, or any food after midnight as it's considered poisonous: nightfood. If he looks in a reflective surface after the sun goes down, he risks seeing (and thereby inviting) some of the alien monsters from that world.

Jeez, sorry for the novel. But I've been dying for a pup to interact with Del and Scotty's the ticket. He's great at shoving all of this under the rug; on the surface he's easygoing and just eccentric enough to be interesting. But underneath it, he's a scared basketcase little kid who's probably been holding onto Del's hand for dear life for a long time. Endless <3.
