down pale corridors of routine
WHO: Crane and You
WHEN: June & July
WHERE: Arkham Asylum
WHAT: Investigating
WARNINGS: Psychological Abuse
[Hidden amongst the urban sprawl covering the harbour from one end to the other, visible only from the correct vantage point, stands the utilitarian and unadorned psychiatric hospital that is Arkham Asylum.
The interior is cold in atmosphere and appearance, with dim corridors and exposed bricks and stones, reflecting its stark and monolithic design. Public access is restricted to designated administrative and visitation areas. Outpatient wards are accessible to those willing to remove keys from reception. Access to patient rooms, staff offices and laboratories is restricted to those with proper clearance - or the equipment and skills to break inside. But they will discover any evidence of illegal dealings has been cleared from the site.
The old hydrotherapy room beneath the asylum has been repurposed by Jonathan Crane into a research laboratory. This restricted area is part of a labyrinthine basement that is extremely tough to navigate. The basement runs beneath the asylum and is connected to the water mains that run throughout Nova City.
Crane is working inside his office one day, categorising notes and organising them into folders. Come the afternoon, he is sorting chemicals inside a laboratory on one of the upper floors. Come the evening, he is descending a stairwell and heading into the basement.
His routine becomes persistent, repetitive, predictable. The pattern draws people deeper into the web that is his asylum. Let them come. Let them get tangled. It might make life here more interesting. Certainly such a dangerous life would be more fascinating than attending the beach or camp and making friends and singing songs around the fire.]

Fascinating.]
And some critics. You know how it is when there's knowledge outside the norm.

[Sometimes, it's just a matter of transparency. Other times, maybe the fear was warranted...]
no subject
Correct. In any case, we cannot stand around talking forever. Is there something I can do for you?

[Crane looks thoughtful for a moment.]
In Gotham the unusual is usual. To view her presence here as unusual is unusual in itself.
[Someone likes his words.]
no subject
Given the concentration of Gothamites here, it's only natural parts of the city would follow afterwards. But why so many of us here in the first place?
no subject
Curiosity, perhaps. The intelligence behind this place is fond of family structures and dynamics. And I suppose those from Gotham come from a peculiar kind of tribe. Though not one related by blood...

[As grim of a place as Gotham can be, Kirk still prefers it over when he lived in a small rural town. There was a dark appeal to Gotham]
