Added DiffLines:

* ColorblindConfusion: The main characters lose the ability to tell the difference between a flashing red light and a flashing green light, because the color of the lights on the machine is irrelevant to whether they get food or not.

None

Added DiffLines:

* FatBastard: Blossom is depicted as wholly and irredeemably evil and is described as overweight practically every time she's mentioned.
* FirstNameBasis: All of the five main characters are only addressed by their first names, with the exception of Blossom who reveals her surname to be Pilkington.

* DesignatedLoveInterest: Averted and even lampshaded by the author. [[spoiler:Peter and Lola get out of the building,]] and they're walking together and holding hands. One of them then spends a paragraph thinking on how not all inter-gender relationships are sexual. {{Anvilicious}}, perhaps, but probably necessary given how common this trope is.

* LoveMakesYouEvil: Abigail starts out as a kind, sweet person, her attraction to Oliver gives him power over her, and ends up just as warped as the others at the end of the novel. Averted for Peter, when Oliver tries to do the same for him.
