Sun Room (Patients' Lounge) & Adjacent Rooms
Sun Room: A ceiling made of large, clear windows allows sunlight to spill into this room, which causes it to take on an almost ethereal glow during the later hours of the day. The ceiling is very high, and a balcony from all sides of the second floor overlooks the room. The walls are painted a soothing, green hue, with paintings of ocean-side harbors and boats hanging on them. Comfortable, cream-colored chairs and couches, give patients plenty of room to relax, or even take a nap if they so desire. There are also several mahogany coffee tables near the couches and chairs. Those who don’t feel up to participating in that day’s normal schedule often choose to spend time in this room. A large, bright blue rug spans through the center of the room. While the sun room is conducive to relaxing, some patients find the way doctors and nurses peer at them from the balcony unsettling. The bulletin board, where patients and staff members post messages and notices, is located on the eastern part of the room.
Arts and Crafts Room: Many of the staff members at Landel’s maintain patients should learn to exercise their imaginations in a healthy, supervised environment, and that’s just what the arts and crafts room is supposed to function as during the daytime. Here, people can participate in a variety of activities, such as sculpting, drawing, sewing, knitting, calligraphy, origami, papier-mââché, and beadwork. Round, tan tables made of plastic are set up to where patients can easily interact with each other and supplies can be kept in the center. White and gray tile spans across the floor. The chairs used in here are similar to the ones in the cafeteria in that they're contoured for easy sitting. Dark blue cabinets are situated along the walls, serving as storage space for both supplies and any ongoing projects patients may have. No need to worry, though - the scissors used here are barely sharp enough to cut paper, much less be used as a weapon. However, other items kept in here may be helpful…if a patient has enough imagination to put them to good use.
Arts and Crafts Materials
Game Room: With a variety of amusements to keep them occupied, patients are brought to the Game Room to unwind and relax with each other, whether its over a chess board or through a game of Go Fish. Games include classic board games such as, but not limited to, Monopoly, Sorry, Life, and Candyland. There are also decks of traditional playing cards, as well an Uno set. A couple of older Gameboys, perhaps donated by some kind soul, are available for those who prefer video games. The floor is made up of off-white carpet. Comfortable, cream-colored chairs, a couple of brown couches and several mahogany tables provide a relaxed, almost cozy environment.
Music Room: The Music Room serves as a way for patients to relax and develop a healthy appreciation for music at the same time. The walls are cream-colored, with posters of various classical composers set at intervals on all four walls. The carpet is a deep, navy blue. Dark red chairs and couches are set up in the middle for patients who want to talk while enjoying their time here. Instruments such as recorders, small drums, cymbals, and an electric keyboard can be found here, and are primarily located in the northern part of the room. The southern part consists of an area with personal walkmans and CD players the nurses can lend out to patients who want to listen to music. Boxes pushed to the side consist of a surprisingly wide variety of music. (The volume function on the walkmans and CD players have been tampered to where they can't be turned up too high, however, for fear of patients damaging their fragile, little eardrums.) Grey, plastic chairs can be found on both the northern and southern parts of the room for those who want to remain close to either the instruments or the CDs and tapes.
Patients’ Library: Packed with a variety of fiction and non-fiction, patients who enjoy reading will find suitable material to entertain them, at least for awhile. The selection tends to lean towards the classics more than anything else, though there are some exceptions. (Exact book list can be found here. Most of the books have some sort of wear to them, and a few are barely held together by some tape. The walls are lined with mahogany shelves, and sturdy tables and chairs for more serious readers to use are located in the middle of the room. However, patients who are interested in sitting down with a book are just as welcome to bring it into the Sun Room. At night, the library is difficult to see into, making the darkness beside the looming shelves a good location for preying creatures to lurk in. Anyone interested in reading The Oxford Book of English Verse will find that, upon pulling it from the shelf, the wall between two aisles of shelves opens up to reveal a winding staircase that leads to the third floor.
Entrance to Landels
Entry Room: Supposedly, this is the place where patients at Landel’s are first checked in by a friendly, welcoming staff. Even so, no one seems to remember coming through here, even if the staff maintains otherwise. Two neatly-kept desks sit in this room, positioned in front of both file rooms. The floor is made up of brown carpet, while the walls are painted a pleasant shade of blue. On both the west and east sides are doors leading to the seating areas (see entry for Waiting Room/Lobby). Cheery receptionists are always ready to greet any new patients or visitors, but if you venture here at night, don't expect such a warm welcome.
File Room 1: Here for purely functional reasons, there isn’t much to this file room. Several tall file cabinets are crammed into a neat row, making the room rather claustrophic. The file cabinets are also locked, though they can be broken or picked with enough force or skill. Speckled tile covers the floor, while the walls are white and bland. Files for patients whose names begin with A-M are stored here, which contain basic information about what their "real" lives were like before they came to Landel’s.
File Room 2: This room is very similar to the first file room, except the tiled floor is considerably more dusty, and those with sensitive noses might find themselves sneezing some. Patients with names beginning with N-Z are kept in here, but those who are trying to dig for any information should take note that even after picking or breaking the locks, some of the filing cabinet drawers in here tend to jam a bit. Don’t worry, though - if you're persistent, you should be able to pry them open.
Waiting Room/Lobby 1 and 2: This is where patients wait while they’re being checked in (though no one seems to actually remember this process). It’s also the place where patients are reunited with their loved ones - for a short while - during visitation hours. Cushioned, but not overly comfortable chairs are placed against the walls, with wooden tables here and there. A couple of magazine racks sit near the doors leading to the entry room, which periodicals such as Time, Newsweek, The New York Times, National Geographic, and various medical magazines. However, the magazines seem rather dated, as their pages are worn and wrinkled from extensive use.
Miscellaneous
Men’s Bathroom: The walls and floors are made up of blue and white tile. Anyone who walks inside will be first greeted by blue counters (with mirrors) on each side of the room. Both counters contain four white sinks, as well as four soap dispensers. A couple of hand-dryers and a paper towel dispenser are positioned near both counters. Situated on the south part of the room are ten urinals, with six stalls against the northern wall. Beyond the stalls is a door leading to the men's showers. Lockers are stacked on the western wall, which are well suited for patients to put their clothes or belongings in before washing up. Taking warning, though - patients who leave special items in one of the lockers shouldn't be too surprised to find them missing when they return.
Men’s Showers: Similar to the bathroom, the men's shower room is also made up of blue and white tile. Beside the entrance are three baskets - one where patients can get clean wash towels, another with larger drying towels, and one where all dirty towels go. A series of shower heads are lined against the walls, in addition to removable nozzles that can be used for easy washing. Beside each shower head are dispensers with shampoo, conditioner, and soap. Several mirrors are positioned against the walls, along with small, plastic stools patients can sit on. Several drains are in the center of the room to minimize flooding. Patients are better off trying to bathe during the day, however, as the water tends to be rather murky once nightshift begins.
Women’s Bathroom: The walls and floors are made up of dark red and white tile. Anyone who walks inside will be first greeted by red counters on each side of the room. Both counters contain four white sinks, as well as four soap dispensers. A couple of hand-dryers and a paper towel dispenser are positioned near both counters. Situated on the south part of the room are ten stalls, with another six stalls and a couple of tampon and pad dispensers against the northern wall. Beyond the southern stalls is a door leading to the women's showers. Lockers are stacked on the western wall, which are well suited for patients to put their clothes or belongings in before washing up. Taking warning, though - patients who leave special items in one of the lockers shouldn't be too surprised to find them missing when they return.
Women’s Showers: Similar to the bathroom, the women's shower is also made up of red and white tile. Beside the entrance are three baskets - one where patients can get clean wash towels, another with larger drying towels, and one where all dirty towels go.
