Department of Fictional Psychology

Description
The Department of Fictional Psychology runs under the careful auspices of the Kudzu Vine. The responsibilities of Director are shared with Dr. Freedenberg, who, among other qualifications, has legs. The Department bears the sign of the Multiple Exclamation Points, for, in the immortal words of Terry Pratchett, "What sort of person sits down and writes a maniacal laugh? And all those exclamation marks, you notice? Five? A sure sign of someone who wears his underpants on his head."

The Department is located in Section 31 and is further divided into Units A, B, and C.

Unit A houses both the primary ward for Canon characters and the secondary ward for Agents. This did not used to be the case. Until recently, to ensure the upkeep of the PPC's minimal interaction policy, Agents were obliged to take all their problems to the Medical Department. Medical finally got sick of the endless and often deranged demands for Bleeprin and washed their hands of the matter. Both the primary and secondary wards are strictly outpatient. There is a small inpatient contingent, but as they are best kept in peaceful solitude, the location of their ward is need-to-know only.

Unit B contains storage and other facilities, including the infamous No-Drool Videos in room B-9. "Storage" does indeed mean Bleeprin and similar products. It is extremely inadvisable to search for them, for they are quite well-guarded.

Unit C holds offices and living space for FicPsych personnel. Rumors that the two are in any way separate are the product of overactive imaginations. Please don't ask about it. Naturally, C-1 and C-2 are occupied by the Kudzu and Dr. Freedenberg, respectively.

Directors
 The Kudzu Vine is mainly in charge of processing the Department's traffic of Agents and Canons. Official documents require her signature, but she rarely interferes with the actual work of the Department.

 Dr. Freedenberg is required to oversee the treatment of the FicPsych's patients, whether he works with them personally or not. He often takes an active role in the rehabilitation of recruits who come in traumatized or lacking a workable personality. The doctor has his office in room C-2, which actually consists of an anteroom for dealing with patients and a separate work and living space beyond. The anteroom is bright egg-yolk yellow.

Personnel
