Message: <blockquote data-quote="kookalouris" data-source="post: 4249301" data-attributes="member: 23872">Arkham AsylumSam's experience in Arkham Asylum was quite relatively pleasant.Since Sam volunteered to be committed, she didn't see her committal as imprisonment.  Since Sam was so agreeable, no 'extreme' techniques were used.In any case, Sam considers her time in AA to have been a kind of penance and would have welcomed some suffering as expiation.From a game standpoint, here is what I am trying to achieve.I want to hint that the Gilman family is very protective of Sam, as if they have found a long-lost daughter (which they have) or a recovered asset (which she might be), probably both.  Is a coincidence that, right out of the nuthouse, she suddenly has a place to stay and employment while in Arkham (under the watchful eyes of her witchy aunt)?Sam's gentle treatment in Arkham may have been to put her at ease and to set a legal precedent for a forcible committal later.  It could be that the whole of Lovecraft Country is a gilded cage for Sam.And who knows what odd doctors or patients she met while in AA?Or not, it's up to David.  But I am setting up some plot background should he need it.Gerry</blockquote>
