3 | ''A Facility'' is a JournalRoleplay taking place in an experimental facility. You have been thrown into a sterile white complex, controlled by a mysterious person (or group of people) known as the Doctor. Every week, a new experiment is unleashed on the subjects ("rats"), which range from the absurd to horrifying. |
4 | |
5 | Despite the oppressive setting, the game is well-known for oscillating rapidly between ridiculous shenanigans and dark plots. |

10 | !!''A Facility'' provides examples of: |
11 | * BigBad: Several of the main villains of their original canon have come to reside, either managing to thwart the Consoritum's attemps to manipulate them, or [[PetTheDog mellowed out]]. Of note are [[Manga/SoulEater Kishin Asura]], [[Manga/DGrayMan The Millenium Earl]], and [[Webcomic/{{Homestuck}} Jack Noir]], among others. |
12 | %%* BodyHorror: Several, but the one that elicited the strongest reaction was bugweek. |
13 | * BoyfriendBlockingDad: |
14 | ** If you want to date [[VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}} Lili Zanotto]], you have to fill out the proper paperwork for [[PsychicPowers Sasha Nein.]] |
15 | ** You're in for much worse if you're interested in [[Franchise/SilentHill Alessa]] [[DaddysGirl Gillespie]] once she's old enough to date. |
16 | ** [[Literature/TheDresdenFiles Harry Dresden]] is also showing signs of this toward [[Manga/ElfenLied Lucy.]] |
17 | %%* BreakTheCutie: Which frequently spirals into CorruptTheCutie. |
18 | * CallBack: Grab Bag Week, in which individual characters can be subject to any one experiment previously conducted. |
19 | * ColdBloodedTorture: Week 103, most of the details were kept behind locked posts due to the scary content and {{Trauma Button}}s involved. The subjects were either tortured or ForcedToWatch their friends be broadcast live on TV. |
20 | * DeathIsCheap: Don't worry if you get killed, you'll come back in a few days! Don't worry about any odd sore spots or strange vague memories of excruciating pain, [[BlatantLies it's nothing to be concerned about.]] |
21 | %%* DespairEventHorizon: Kite's discoveries pushed a few characters dangerously towards this. |
22 | * DrivesLikeCrazy: ''Haseo''. What else do you expect from a 17-year-old-in-an-MMO-character's-body with no real motorcycling experience, though? |
23 | %%* EvilTwin: The 'Evil Twin Week', which caused a significant amount of trauma for most of those involved. |
24 | %%* ExtranormalInstitute |
25 | %%* FreakyFridayFlip: Body Swap week. |
26 | %%* GoodScarsEvilScars: John Egbert's sporting a good amount of these after Grab-Bag Week. |
27 | %%* HatePlague: The original [[VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry Hinamizawa Syndrome]], to boot. |
28 | * KissingUnderTheInfluence: Flirt cookies, which also have a chance of causing a MushroomSamba. Or both at once. |
29 | * LaResistance: A couple of rebellion groups have been established, but the largest and most effective was started by [[Webcomic/{{Homestuck}} John Egbert]]. |
30 | * LaserGuidedAmnesia: Those under the affects of the [[VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry Hinamizawa Syndrome]] don't remember the week they were under the effects. |
31 | %%** Amnesia week, obviously. |
32 | %%* LoveMakesYouCrazy: This can happen at anytime, whether it was experiment-driven or not. Special mention goes to [[Literature/TheGardenOfSinners Fujino]]. |
33 | %%* NoNameGiven: |
34 | %%** The Doctors and the Consortium. |
35 | %%** Averted, however, with [[Series/{{Solitary}} Val]]. |
36 | %%* OntologicalMystery: Everyone is stuck as labrats, and they know it. |
37 | %%* PowerLimiter: In the form of stylish collars! |
38 | * RoaringRampageOfRevenge: |
39 | ** The first time they broke out of 'Facility 1', most of the interns caught in the crossfire were killed off by rampaging subjects. Also a factor in the [[HopeSpot Rebellion Victory Week]], which was triggered by the strong reaction of Week [[DespairEventHorizon 103]]. |
40 | ** [[VideoGame/{{Prototype}} Alex Mercer]] went on one when [[Franchise/TouhouProject Patchouli]] accidentally killed [[Manga/SoulEater Maka]]. This led to Remilia going on one herself when she found out Mercer killed Patchouli and Meiling. Much later, Mercer again attacked Patchouli for killing [[Manga/ElfenLied Lucy]]. |
41 | * RunningGag: Musical week will never happen. Or Excalibur week. |
42 | * SwappedRoles: Canon Swap Week, in which characters could be switched to any canon of a character ever been in the game, highlights include an Manga/ElfenLied [[Webcomic/{{Homestuck}} Dave Strider]], several people becoming VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}, a [[VideoGame/AssassinsCreedI 12th Century]] [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Dr. McCoy]] [[Webcomic/{{Homestuck}} and Bro Strider]] and the entirety of the Comicbook/ScottPilgrim Evil Exs becoming [[Webcomic/{{Homestuck}} Trolls]]. |
43 | * TranslatorMicrobes: A chip is implanted in everyone's brains, allowing them to understand each other. |
44 | * TraumaCongaLine: The 2010 year end event and the weeks leading up to it. The infamous Week 103, followed by a [[HopeSpot rebellion victory]], followed by a [[Manga/BlackButler mass-murdering demon]] running amok, and then the station's life support systems shutting off one by one... |
45 | %%* {{Tsundere}}: Well, of course. |
46 | %%* {{Yandere}}: Very, ''very'' much less prevalent, but there's still a few characters with this trait or have evolved into one. |
47 | * YouCantGoHomeAgain: What the subjects are led to believe with [[VideoGame/DotHackGU Azure Kite's]] [[http://community.livejournal.com/a_facility/2694252.html discovery.]] Of course, not everyone believes it, or are going to let that stop them from breaking out. |
