  Here's the deal: cut out the metagame bits, but keep the part about the
players being thought insane by the psychiatrist.  They talk about
epideromancers making skin melt or whatever they've seen, and the
psychiatrist is just like "yup, here's a bunch of loonies.  lock them up
before they hurt someone while hunting 'monsters'"
  
I always thought it would be funny to have a group of UA characters "break"
a psychiatrist.  

Imagine: You have a psychiatrist (MD), Avatar of the Masterless Man (MM),
Annhilomancer (AN) and a car thief (CT) in group therapy.

MD:  So today we're starting with "the freak" (highly suspiciously)

MM:  It is a humanoid with a raspy voice who jingles from chains of body
piercings that it wears.  It's touch can cause a man's skin and cause it to
explode off the body.  The damage is hideous and painful.

MD:  Yes, and how does this "freak"

MM, AN, and CT:  THE FREAK

MD:  I'm sorry how does "the freak" do this?

AN:  Magic.

MD:  Can just anyone do magic?

AN:  (Smiling bitterly) Not "just anyone" but I can.  

MD:  Can you show me some?

AN:  You won't like it...

skip to two days later (psychiatrist is talking to their own therapist)

MD:  And then he looked at me and said, "you still don't believe your father
loved you, and you can never get over it because he's dead, and you insist
on dragging your emotional baggage..."

Tony soprano almost broke his therapist, and he doesn't even have magical
powers...
