ASYLUM CHALLENGE - CHAPTER 1 - DR. HUMBERT HUNTSMAN

Dr. Humbert Huntsman looked at the file on his desk. The patient's name was Snow White. He knew the name well and had spent many sleepless nights wondering what to do. You see, Dr. Huntsman knew that Snow White's tale of an Evil Queen trying to kill her was true. But the thing was, it was Dr. Huntsman himself who was supposed to have done the deed. He shook his head and ran his hand through his hair thinking back to how it had all happened.

He had been employed by the Evil Queen, or rather blackmailed by her, and had been instructed to take Snow White into the forest to kill her. You see, Dr. Huntsman had used some questionable methods for some anti-aging experiments he had conducted, and somehow the Evil Queen had found out.  She had uncovered some files that would threaten his standing in the community, jeopardize his credibility, revoke his doctor's license, and worse, put him in jail. And so, he had entered a bargain with the Evil Queen. She would continue to fund his anti-aging experiments and never mention his secret to anyone, but in exchange, she had asked for one favor...to kill a sim named Snow White.

 

He wasn't quite sure what her motive was, but the Evil Queen seemed to ramble on about Snow White being "the fairest in the land", and she couldn't have that happen. He didn't quite understand, but he had agreed. Yes, he had shamefully agreed to save his own reputation. The Evil Queen knew that Dr. Huntsman had access to lethal injections, and she told him that he should take Snow White into the forest and do the deed there, where no one would see. 

hen the day came to carry out the plan, the Evil Queen had told Snow White that she had made an appointment for her with Dr. Huntsman for one of his "therapeutic talks" to help Snow White through some of the teen angst she was experiencing. From the description that the Evil Queen had given him, Dr. Huntsman pictured Snow White as a horrible, mean, and irresponsible sim. But when he met her, he found her to be innocent, kind, gentle, sweet, and cheerful. She had told him that her parents had died tragically and that she was under the care of the Queen. She told him that she felt like a servant in her own house and that no matter what she did, she could never seem to please the Queen. 

Dr. Huntsman realized then that the Evil Queen had been jealous of Snow White, and the Evil Queen's vanity and evilness were the real reasons she wanted Snow White dead. As they walked further into the forest, Dr. Huntsman knew he couldn't kill Snow White. He told her that the Queen wanted her dead out of jealousy, and begged her forgiveness. He told her that she should flee into a deeper part of the forest and find shelter.

But in a twist of fate, she had ended up in his hospital under his care. He had found out too late to help her, and her case had already gone before the courts. The judge deemed Snow White "erratic" and ordered her to be sent to an asylum.

Dr. Huntsman sighed. He opened the file and wrote some notes.

"Patient is suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder which has caused her to become "erratic". She will not  harm others and has a generous, trusting, and helpful nature. Given the recent budget cuts at the facility, my findings conclude that her therapy will consist of being in charge of the 7 other residents in the asylum. To cook and clean and care for them. In addition, if she completes 4 tasks (aspirations)  to prove her sanity, it is my unwavering opinion that she can re-enter the Simworld again and lead a productive life."

He closed the file and gathered up 7 other files. He then called an orderly to bring the patient Snow White for transportation to the asylum. Dr. Huntsman thought for a moment about a fairy tale he had heard in his youth, "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", mumbled Dr. Huntsman, "...how ironic..."

Dr. Humbert Huntsman is actually a Maxis-made sim named Scrubs De Reve.

    ASYLUM CHALLENGE - CHAPTER 12 - THE "TALK"

    The next morning Don came into the kitchen wearing a unique outfit. Um...is this your firefighter outfit, Don?
    He saw Shanda in the Art Therapy room and headed over to chat with her.

    Don: "Hey babe, I saw that you enjoyed yourself at The Gnomes Arms pub the other night."

    Shanda: "Yes, in fact I did. So many interesting sims....male sims...who wanted to talk to me and buy me drinks. Better than talking to the lot here. In fact, why are you talking to me and calling me babe? Didn't I make myself clear that we weren't on speaking terms?"

    Don: "Yeah, well about that. You know, I was going to join you at the bar, but, well, I had a...um...situation I had to deal with..."

    Shanda: "A situation? Really? Did it involve any female sims?"

    Don: "Well, sort of...but not in the way you think. If you want to know, it was a situation with Snow and Rusty. In fact, I kind of need your help."

    Shanda: "You need my help? Oh that's hilarious! And you honestly think that I would do anything for you after what you did to me?"

    Don: "Listen, Shanda, I'm sorry for what happened, and I can't change the past, but can we just call a truce on this. I'm worried about Snow...and I, uh...well, I need you to speak with her about...well...about the dangers of teen boys..."

    Shanda started laughing: "The dangers of teen boys? How about the dangers of men in general? So, why do you want me to talk to her? You, of all sims, would be an expert to talk to her about those dangers. So why don't you do it?"

    Don: "Well, I...I thought that perhaps coming from another female sim would be better. And, seriously Shanda, I don't thnk that Emilia or Jackie would be able to have that conversation with her. Emilia seems to be a romantic dreamer and Jackie...well...all Jackie talks about is pumpkins..."

    Shanda: "Look, Don, Snow's a teen...she probably knows more than me. And why are you  bothering with her anyway? I am sure that her mother gave her the "woohoo talk" a long time ago..."

    Don: "Shanda, both of Snow's parents died, and from what I've heard, she was raised by some relative, who she calls the Queen, who didn't treat her well. I figured she ran away from home because she was found wandering in the forest. So, no, I don't think she got that talk at all..."

    Shanda looked at Don, "Are you serious? The poor kid... "

    Don: "Yeah, she's been dealt a bad hand in life, and..well...she's an innocent teen Shanda...and I kind of want to protect her..."

    Shanda: "Protect her? From whom?"

    Don: "That robo teen...I don't trust him. There has already been two instances where the circumstances were rather questionable...."

    Shanda: "And so you think he might try something and you won't be there to intervene. is that right?"

    Don: "Exactly. So...do you think you can help me out? Warn her about that robo teen?"

    Shanda: "Well, I like Snow, and sure, I can talk to her. But if you're really worried about her, maybe you should teach her how to defend herself. You know...in case she has to..."

    Don: "That's a good idea, Shanda. I think I can rig up a punching bag with some materials that are around here. In fact, I'm going to get started on that now..."

    And with that Don turned on his heel and headed outside. Shanda looked after him.

    Shanda thinking: "Wow! Don really cares about Snow.  I had forgotten this side of Don. But he was like that with me...he cared for me...protected me...would do anything for me. I was totally in love with him, and thought he loved me, too. But then he betrayed me and it just hurt so much. I won't let that happen again."

    Shanda kept thinking about Don, "Dang! Why isn't there a bar in this house? I need a drink now! That Cassanova Don is getting in my head..."

    Unbeknownst to both Shanda and Don, Rusty had been in the kitchen having some food while they were chatting. And it appears that Rusty may have overheard their entire conversation.

    Notes:  I decided to replace the bonsai bush with a boxing bag and Snow will be doing the Bodybuilder Aspiration.
