Topic awaiting preservation: Lock Tester III for those of you who have been around long enough to know what I mean

Remember a while ago, we did one of these, and it went on for ages? Well, we did, and I thought it might be nice to do another. So, get those creative juices flowing, and here we go...

*It was a quiet night in the asylum. Almost too quiet. A lone inmate walked down the hall, accompanied only by his black pills and his hallucinations. A door swung open in front of him...

...he stepped through, and was instantly sent to the ground in spasms by Shoe Ho's prototype thundergun. "Bwa ha haaaah!" he exclaimed. "Distance therapy! Soon, I will cure the world of their delusions! Or... no, definitely cure!"

"Alas, the Master had miscalculated the amount of isulation on his handle (easy for an insane Enlish major to do) and after uttering a terrifying 'oops', he too went down in spasms..."

Spasms so strong inmates at the far end of the hall...

... ducked under their beds, believing that an earthquake had hit the asylum.

The walls and floors shook in sympathy with the tremendous force of the Master's spasmodic tremblings, as just as everyone believed the entire building was about to collapse, the most spine-tingling wail issued forth from the mouth of Shue Ho, and as the wail rose, highe and higer in pitch until the very glass of the windows began to show signs of stress, words formed in the desperate cacophany, and shoe Ho, teeth grinding, eyes bulging, muscles still twitching and shuddering superhumanly, began to speak ...

himself, thirty seconds ago, sheilding his eyes... something strange* must be going on here, he realized.
