Spent Some Time Designing Crazyhouses

I took some notes on what the front of both Houndsditch and Rutledge looked like, so I could get the important parts of the facades right. The interiors will be naturally scaled down to fit with the themes of the challenge. I'm almost finished with Rutledge -- I just want to add an extra room for the gyroscope.
-M: The --
Dance sphere.
-VD: . . .Why are you including the dance sphere?-
Because apparently seating mental patients in a chair and spinning them around crazily WAS AN ACTUAL THERAPY back in the day. Saw it both in someone else's Victorian-themed asylum, AND in an Alice fic.
-M2: *to Victor* You know, you can make fun of my decade's music videos all you want. . . .
-TTV: *wince* I know, I know. . .
Anyway, I might finish that up tomorrow, and do more with Houndsditch. I've been trying to think up an appropriate "mental patient backstory" for both Victor and Alice. Alice has been brought to the new Rutledge to prove that she's sane after the death of one Angus Bumby -- but what do I do with Victor? Do I:
a) go with a Forgotten-Vows-style backstory? That is, the entire movie happened, but Victor's parents didn't believe him and decided he needed to go to a looney bin?
b) or go with something closer to this sort of backstory: Emily decided to trust Victor and not follow him, and so when he told the people about going to the afterlife and marrying a corpse, everyone just thought he was cuckoo?
The b) option would probably work a bit better for Sims, but I'm open to suggestions.

And speaking of open to suggestions, here's an interesting meme I stumbled upon:
THREE SENTENCE MEME: Give me pairings. Give me a setting. Give Me Anything. I will write you a three-sentence fic.
Go ahead and give it a whirl.
