【强推|东方同人小说】幻想乡精神医院①(翻译转载)(6)

The doctors and staff members are seen as the only humans in the game unless they've decided to play along with them and assume a different role in the game. Most new arrivals pick to be mythical creatures, otherworldly beings, or magical humans with one special power (the special power is mostly based around their own respective physical and/or psychological problems) which most of the doctors considered a plus towards curing them since the having a "special power" is in a way the patient acknowledging and admitting that they have something different strange about them compared to the rest. When a new patient states that they are a simple human, this is in a way rejecting to play the game and at the same time saying that there is nothing wrong with them (these patients are the most stubborn and uncooperative during session and as such some doctors actually try to encourage them to be part of the game, this has happened once or twice so far). To avoid things getting violent between some of the rowdier patients/characters some of the doctors suggested that Reimu and Marisa add a "spell card" rule to the game since they explained that some of other players "powers" were unfair to the rest of the players and the spell card rule would make sure that when they had "duels" everyone had an equal chance of winning. Needless to say the hospital bought a very large supply of playing cards soon after.
