Shocks

New thing I'm going to introduce as things start to get more hairy - every now and then when you witness something shocking, I'm going to make a roll to see if it hits your sanity. If so, I'll make a spoilered post like this one, with something like "Callum, as the man grabs your ankle, you suffer a minor shock." When you next reply, please use that cue to relate how it affects you. There's 3 ranks of shock - minor shock is stuff like dropping what you were carrying (or possibly in the case of a gun, panicking and pulling the trigger at whatever's scared you), letting out an involuntary yelp and jumping, running in the opposite direction, cowering in fear, clutching at or lashing out at those around you, or losing control of your bowels or vomiting at the sight of whatever it is. For major shocks, fainting dead away, gaining a phobia (related to whatever you're seeing and which will affect you in the future when triggered - I can work with you on this one), having a psychotic break, or running screaming, heedless of your own safety or those of others. For massive shocks, there's really only one of two options - permanent and immediate insanity, or death from cardiac arrest. If you can come up with something along these lines that's equally horrible to suffer, then feel free to do so - these are only suggestions. Whatever it is, it should have negative effects though.
