OOC: Delirium Primer

[endlessdel]

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*

The Doctor doesn't like his real name mentioned. He has quite a substantial case of compounded PTSD that he represses enough to function, and is seeing Dr. Deane about it. He's also wacky as heck anyway. Delirium might have known his sixth incarnation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sixth_Doctor) well enough.

Sara Sidle is explicitly not insane (it's one of her worst fears, that she might be), but her mother was--she went mad and killed Sara's abusive father. Sara has thus spent time visiting institutions and nearly died (http://www.crimelab.nl/transcripts.php?series=1&season=5&episode=21) while investigating a case in one within the last year, her time.

A few additional points:
The Doctor was ill in early September and moderately dehydrated. The fever and dehydration caused him to hallucinate and remember random things. If you want to really freak him out, just have Del remind him that he saw Rob Chase as an angel, or mention America's song 'Horse With No Name'.
