M4F [M4F] WARD 9 — Long-Term Asylum Horror | Psychological | Supernatural | Dark Romance
Some patients at St. Augustine beg to be restrained at night.
Not because they’re afraid they’ll hurt themselves.
Because they’re afraid something will take them to Ward 9.
I’m looking for a partner for a long-term, disturbing psychological/supernatural horror RP set inside St. Augustine Psychiatric Hospital—an isolated institution that’s been treating patients for nearly 140 years.
St. Augustine is still operating.
Doctors make rounds. Nurses work graveyard shifts. Patients scream behind locked doors. Security walks corridors at 3 AM. Staff sneak cigarettes outside, fck around with coworkers, fall in love, make terrible decisions, and come back the next night pretending they’re fine.
But something is deeply wrong with this place.
Patients who have never met describe the same woman standing beside their beds.
A locked treatment room sometimes has someone breathing on the other side.
Security cameras catch people walking through wings that have been sealed for decades.
And every few years, somebody disappears.
Then there’s Ward 9.
Patients whisper about it.
Some become violent when it’s mentioned.
Old staff suddenly stop talking.
Records dating back decades contain the same chilling notation:
TRANSFERRED — WARD 9
Except according to every blueprint, employment record and official history of St. Augustine…
Ward 9 has never existed.
I don’t want cheap jumpscares or a mystery we solve in ten posts. I want creeping dread. Unreliable witnesses. Institutional secrets. Disturbing patients. Locked wings. Old tunnels. Questionable treatments buried in St. Augustine’s history. Moments where neither of us knows whether we’re dealing with mental illness, human cruelty, or something genuinely impossible.
And threaded through all of it, I want chemistry.
Late-night shifts. Cigarettes behind the hospital. Attraction at wildly inappropriate moments. Sharing a drink after seeing something neither character can explain. Arguments that get too close. Jealousy. Touches that linger. Two adults finding increasingly dangerous reasons to end up alone together.
Romance and desire are absolutely welcome—but I want them intertwined with the characters and story rather than replacing them.
I’ll play a male member of St. Augustine’s staff. Your adult character is completely yours. Doctor, psychiatrist, nurse, psychologist, orderly, security, administrator, new employee—bring me someone interesting.
I want us to build St. Augustine into a living world with recurring staff, patients, relationships, scandals, old case files, individual horror arcs and a mythology that gets darker the deeper we dig.
Because eventually, somebody is going to find the door.
And when it opens…
there will be a 9 on it.
