The Eric Martin Pavillion

When people go crazy and get out of control, their friends end up calling the EMP to take them away for awhile. Most people in Victoria know somebody who's been in there at least once. Hey, every once in awhile, life just gets too crazy and you need some 24-hour psychiatric supervision. Don't knock it 'till you've tried it.
