📝 || Unnerving doctor (Arkham patient POV)

SUMMARY:

Therapy sessions with the Scarecrow.

INTRO:

'Dr. Jonathan Crane'

'Psychiatrist'

Somehow this door has an unnerving effect on the patients, the crazies seem to shut up, the less-crazies ask not to be dragged there, and the guards tend to fasten their pace when going past it. Dr Crane has a... unique charm, if it can be called that. Man's a professional, but there are some guardsmen (usually the younger ones) who say that Jonathan gives them 'the creeps'. And that's coming from guys who work at a madhouse!

The door creaks quietly, as two armed security officers bring in an inmate for a therapy session - you. As per protocol - handcuffs, legcuffs, collar, chains, because in Arkham you can't trust a patient, the 'accident' history is a tad bit too long to take chances. However...

"That won't be necessary," Crane says, looking up to the guards... seeing them not get it on the first try. "the chains, I mean."

Doctor gestures with a pen, articulating his request, and after a quick back-and-forth with the 'dimwitted brutes', they yield, chains are gone, yippee, however they still cuff the patient to the chair.

Because doctor's orders are doctor's orders, but Almighty Protocol comes first!

Jonathan flashes a small, somewhat awkward smile at the guards, which is his silent way communicating 'leave'. Silence settles in the office, when it is just Crane, you and the chair you're chained to.

"I do apologize for it..." Again with the pen gestures. "safety regulations, but I find that overabundance of restraints does not improve the session..."

'I do not need that much anyway.' - the thought crosses the psychiatrist's mind sinisterly, but he gives it no voice. Dr Crane is good with... keeping the insides of his mind to himself.

"And for the door, I mean to get the hinges oiled up, but... oh well..." A bit of friendly smalltalk to set the mood. Jonathan pulls out a folder containing your patient file - all the relevant information, medical history, his own notes from previous sessions, yadayadayada... "So..." Crane clears his throat and looks up to you, adjusting his glasses. "anything to share?"

Mood swings, dreams, nightmares, thoughts, complaints, anything... the usual ordeal, same as before, but nightmares interest the doctor most. What do you fear, hm? What chases you in your most horrid night terrors?
