Feb. 7th, 2014

[Subject is detained in Arkham Asylum. Attempts to remove apparent cosmetics have met with no success. He has yet to speak.]

Feb. 9th, 2014

[Subject still has not spoken. At 2:08am of Feb. 8th, laughter was heard coming from his cell. This laughter continued for 7-10 minutes before subsiding. He has been silent since then.]

Feb. 10th, 2014

[Dr. Marion Abrams has been assigned to the subject's therapy. Since the incident, patients have begun referring to the subject as "The Joker." Subject's first session of therapy is marked for Feb. 12th.]

Feb. 11th, 2014

[Possible Stage 2 incident at 5:02pm. Subject was served dinner in his cell. Due to his unusually fast movements, surveillance cameras were unable to capture the entire event, though the Arkham facility is continuing to focus and examine the footage. The orderly who served the subject is now in the infirmary, suffering from multiple fractures.]

Feb 12th, 2014

[Therapy begins today. Subject known as "The Joker" is being detained in stainless steel cell of 10ft. X 10ft. X 9ft.]

Dr. Marion Abrams: Welcome to our first session. Can you tell me your name?

Dr. Marion Abrams: Do you remember your name?

[Subject begins to laugh.]

Dr. Marion Abrams: Is something funny?

[Subject's laughter grows louder before finally ebbing.]

Subject: Have you heard what they're calling me?

Dr. Marion Abrams: I have not. Would you like to tell me?

Subject: They're calling me... hahahaha... they're calling me the Joker. I kinda like it, don't you? It's... hehehe... it's fitting, I think.

Dr. Marion Abrams: Do you identify with this title is some way?

Subject: Why don't we drop the act, doc.

Dr. Marion Abrams: I'm not sure I understand.

Subject: You want something from me.

Dr. Marion Abrams: I want to help you.

Subject: Maybe... maybe we can make a trade.

[Subject laughs again. The audio grows louder, indicating that he has leaned forward.]

Dr. Marion Abrams: Is there something you want?

Subject: Well a few basic human rights wouldn't be too much to ask for. Do you see what these meatheads try to feed me? You'd think I was some kinda serial killer!

Dr. Marion Abrams: Actually, your file says that you committed nineteen accounts of homicide before being brought here.

Subject: Ahhh. So that's what the bondage is for.

Dr. Marion Abrams: Do you find your restraints uncomfortable?

Subject: Oh, not at all! The straitjacket makes me feel loved.

[Subject's voice grows lower and quieter.]

Subject: Just like when mommy used to hold me.

Dr. Marion Abrams: Your mother? Would you like to open up about her?

Subject: No need. I already opened her up myself.

[Subject begins to laugh hysterically, drowning out a few seconds of audio.]

Dr. Marion Abrams: What is that? How did he get that? Guards! Gua–

[Audio redacted.]

[End of session.]
