>find a steed
If you counted right as you ran past the cages, the door to this cage should be the entrance to the zebra cage. You can hide inside the room safely, and wait for the Eldritch Rat Princess ROUS to grow bored and leave. Heck, you could even maybe learn to ride the zebra! That'd be awesome.
You open the cage door and quickly close it behind you. You can hear the Eldritch Rat Princess ROUS start scratching at the door and whimpering. Safe at last. You push your way through the plant-life at the back of the spacious cage to try and find your way to the zebra. When you come face to face with the family of wolves.
Fuck. Wrong cage.
>Run across wall Matrix-style while shooting two guns
You run across the wall in slow motion... unfortunately you are not The One, and you fall down on your shoulder. You are lying on the ground as the wolves approach you; they haven't had fresh warm meat in a long time, and are quite tired of the cold steaks they've been fed for years. You fire your guns at them from the ground, injuring two of them. The wolf pack becomes confused and panicked by the gunfire, but you are able to fairly easily pick them off, leaving you in the room with a bunch of dead wolves. That was anti-climatic. You guess wolves just aren't nearly as dangerous as the unnatural horrors that await you outside.
You spent 6 bullets
>Find a cage of rabbits, or some other helpless animal to kill and eat, as you are getting kind of hungry
>Cook said animal with knifetorch and eat some of it to regain HP, add the leftovers to your inventory
Well, you figure these dead wolves are about as helpless an animal as you can find, and you doubt the Eldritch Rat Princess ROUS is going to leave anytime soon, so you might as well cook and eat one of the wolves. By the time you've cooked them, you should be hungry. You set up a small camp, digging out a pit so this time you don't set fire to everything, and using another bullet you manage to start a fire. Little Susie says she's getting hungry, and offers to help cut up the wolf meat to speed things up, and you gratefully accept.
You cut a stick off a tree in the cage, and spear a piece of wolf meat on it, and start cooking it over the fire. Fat starts to drip off the juicy meat, as it reaches it's peak of perfection. You let Little Susie at all she wants, but you still aren't hungry. Even though nibble on it a little bit, you just can't manage to really eat anything. It smells so wonderful, that you don't want it to go to waste.
You receive Leftover Cooked Wolf Meat
> Give the mouse a cookie
>Attempt to win over the Eldritch ROUS after feeding it bits of the animal you killed for food
You think about giving the Eldritch Rat Princess ROUS a cookie, but you don't have any. It wouldn't hurt to feed the Eldritch Rat Princess ROUS some of the Leftover Cooked Wolf Meat. Maybe if she gets full, she'll leave you alone long enough to escape.
>Trap Eldritch ROUS in a vacant cage
>Design trap for Princess.
You go over to the door and hear Eldritch Rat Princess ROUS continuing to whimpering on the other side. Gripping a nice big piece of Leftover Cooked Wolf Meat in one hand, you open the door with the other hand. Eldritch Rat Princess ROUS looks up at you, her eyes blinking asynchronously. She looks at the Leftover Cooked Wolf Meat and chirps. Why is a rat chirping? Then again, why does a rat the size of a dog have spider legs and a pair of scorpion tails coming out of it shoulder? Best not to think about it too much.
You wave the piece of Leftover Cooked Wolf Meat in front of Eldritch Rat Princess ROUS's face, and she wags her scorpion tails, in possibly the most horrifyingly lethal display of friendly excitement you can imagine. You throw it through the foliage to the front side of the cage. Eldritch Rat Princess ROUS leaps after it, and you slip out the door and close it behind you, trapping her inside.
Safe at last.
>Take the mop and empty bucket with you in case they might come in handy
As you walk back around the ally out into the main walkway of the zoo, you notice the Janitor's Mop and Now Empty Bucket that you knocked over in your earlier attempts at getting away. You pick them up and add them to your inventory.
>Wrap some jumpsuit around your hands, grab bits of guts from ceiling, try and lure ROUS away from door/tame it in some way
> Cook a cadaver with Fire Breath, give Cooked Cadaver to Princess. Ask Princess to join party.
>Attempt to tame Princess.
Back out in the main walkway, you notice the corpses on stapled to the ceiling again. You wonder if the Eldritch Rat Princess ROUS would maybe like to eat some. Little Susie asks you why you are still worried about the monster, it's safely trapped in the cage now, and whatever was taking care of the wolves will take care of her too now. You tell Little Susie that Princess ROUS seemed to you to be more lonely than dangerous, and that you were lonely too before you met Little Susie.
She tells you that she understands, and encourages you pull down some of the corpses by their dangling guts, and cook them as a delicious treat for Princess ROUS. You wrap your hands in a spare jumpsuit, and pull on the rotting guts. Some rip off and fall down, and you start to cook them with your Spit Fireball ability. You wonder why you didn't think to breath fire earlier instead of waste a bullet inside of the cage. Oh well.
You hear some horrible screaming noises. You and Little Susie look around trying to figure out where it came from. You see some lights flaring up inside one of the zoo cages. You forgot to put out the cooking fire. Goddamnit not again. Little Susie, horrified, reminds you that Princess ROUS is still in that cage.
Not even sure what you are doing anymore, you rush back around through the caretaker alleyway, and open the backdoor to the cage. Smoke and heat pours from the door, and you start to crawl into the cage to stay under the smoke, and call out to Princess by her name. She comes rushing too you, and you escape the burning cage together, shutting the door behind the two of you.
>Target eyes
You can see real deep fear in Eldritch Rat Princess ROUS's eyes. She nuzzles your leg and looks up at you with all of your eyes. The fear is clearing, and what is left is a great happiness and relief. An abomination though she may be, she was once someone's Beloved Pet. Though she no longer knows where her old master is, she never learned to not trust people. She now has a new master to follow; You. You were able to look past the Eldritch Rat Princess ROUS's appearance, and see how lonely she was. As a result, you now have found yourself a powerful new ally. She will surely give her life to protect you with her deadly shoulder-tail-blades.

(It was actually meant as a type of unbelievably unfunny gag to store the Experience Points in the inventory. I have no intention of bothering with the concept of levels beyond occasional gags, and thus it is truly useless, unless I somehow think of something arbitrary to make use of it out of.gigoergong wrote:Also, I suggest adding Experience Points next to the Character in the Party List:
There was also supposed to be some sort of deep meaning in the fact that Little Susie moved from the Inventory to the Party Screen. I don't know what it is, but yeah, I'm sure it's there still.
Also, does anyone else notice my posts keep getting longer and longer with less commands. Goddamnit.)
