You wake up in a box... (Updated: Monday, March 1st)
(That was incredibly appropriate and inspiring. Okay fine, I'll work out an update today instead of sleeping before I go to work.
I hope you are pop flyin'.)

>Examine the rest of the cages
Okay let's see, what else is inside all these other cages...
CAGE CONTENTS:
1 Zebra
1 Giraffe
3 Lions
Numerous Flamingos
1 Grizzly bear
1 Slaughtered and Charred Family of Wolves
1 Anaconda
4 Sleepy Alligators
2 Kangaroos
1 Elephant
1 Rhino
Numerous Playful Penguins
1 Family of Not Yet Slaughtered and Charred Otters
1 Tapir That Seems to be Plotting Something
>Pick up anything that seems useful
You go back to where you first 'fought' Princess ROUS, and pick up the Fragments of an Oversized Femur. You also collect several lengths of chandelier corpse intestines. You have no idea what the fuck this shit could possibly be used for, but you figure the voices in your head are really good at making stuff up as they go along, so they might be able do something with it.
Fragments of an Oversized Femur have been added to your inventory
Several Lengths of Intestines have been added to your inventory
>Location
You are located in some sort of eccentric underground complex, which is decorated with way too many dead bodies for your liking. You are currently in the room "Private Executive Zoo."
Wow, that was, oddly informative and possibly more information than you already knew. Who would've thought that a command could actually help you for once instead of light you on fire or something of the sorts?
>Try to remember where you were before all this started. It may shed some light on the matter.
You remember nothing before the box. It was cold, it was dark, and you were scared. You are probably going to be claustrophobic for life because of it. Considering the number of corpses you've seen so far, your life might not last very long.
>find a way out
There are only two exits to this room; the door you came through which leads to The Magma Stairwell, and a large ornate red and gold door directly across from it. Might as well move ahead, you figure, and with Princess ROUS clattering behind your heels, you go and open the Red and Gold door and enter The Executive Office.
You're first impression is that a battle happened here. Bullets, explosions and fire have marred most every surface. In the center of the room, across from the door, is a large shattered solid glass desk. There are a couple of corpses, dressed in similar attire to you, collapsed across the wreckage. However, unlike your silver with blue trim jumpsuit, they are wearing a regal looking black with gold trim jumpsuit. You reckon they must have been a lot higher rank than you are... whatever you are.
Near the door are several corpses in green and brown military fatigues. There is a black and gold jumpsuit man among the group, who appears to have personally smashed open the skulls of several military soldiers before being gunned down.
From a quick count, it appears that there were only three black and gold jumpsuit men, but they still managed to take out at least twenty military soldiers before being overwhelmed.
Beloved Pet Eldritch Rat Princess ROUS is glancing hungrily around the room at the bodies, her eyes flittering around like she's at a fine buffet.
In addition to the glass desk, there is are many important looking papers scattered around the remains of the desk. There is a pipe organ in one corner; for drama queens that think a grand piano doesn't add enough ambiance. There is a fireplace. There are filing cabinets. There are many corpses in the room, of both military and black/gold jumpsuit variety.

> Let ROUS eat while you read the important papers.
You gesture to ROUS, and she immediately jumps on the nearest military soldier. She is a very messy eater; most of the body is winding up in small pieces on or around her.
You and Little Susie have adult stuff to take care of, like seeing if you can find out anything about the damned plot in this adventure game through reading the important-looking papers. You pick up a few and start leafing through them. They seem to mostly be boring business stuff; accounting paperwork and the like.
Little Susie gasps, "Doctor Thunderpickle, oh no! Look! I think that man is still alive."
You look down under the shattered remains of the glass desk and look at one of the men in the black and gold jumpsuits that Little Susie was indicating. He's lying limp, body and face mangled from bullet holes, both of his arms appear to have been ripped off, and he has no lower torso.
You question what the hell is going through Little Susie's mind; there is no way that man is alive...
"Oh god, is that someone there? Someone is here! Someone... finally came! Thank you, oh thank you, I've been here so long. please kill me... please kill me... let it all stop..."
Uh... nevermind. Well you have to admit, it's not the weirdest thing you've seen today.
~CONVERSATION START~

((Same as Zink's Adventure thread, just write whatever you want Dr Thunderpickle to say to or ask of the... uh... horribly mangled cripple not-dead dude.))

((FYI, I worked around it, but I wanted you to say what Dr Thunderpickle would actually say, like a quote. Alexandy13, and Trygve did it right.))
>Dude, you look terrible, just sayin.
"Uh, thanks? Let me guess, you want to ask a bunch of inane questions of me before you grant me escape from my undying nightmare? Oh well, it's not like I've talked to anybody in ages. I suppose it won't kill me to stay alive a little longer. Oh ho, undead humor."
>What's with all the animals?
"The Narrator/LeadDeveloper was hoping that you would pick out some sort of animal to be your companion so that the adventure might be more interesting."
Despite being in a deep underground cave, a lightning storm threatens to brew inside The Executive Office, threatening to strike The Horribly Mangled Cripple Not-Dead Dude.
"Hah, threaten me all you want. You know I already want to die! You'd only be fulfilling my wish. And I have a name too you know, I'm not just some cripple dude! Oh fine, let me tell you pieces of the actual 'plot'; if you could call this garbage a plot."
He clears his throat, "The Master loved nature and animals a lot. Even in his exile, The Master wanted to keep a piece of the surface with him. He loved and took care of those animals every day. They were his non-human children."
>Ask the man where you are, and/or what was going on
"What? Didn't you read the instruction manual that came with the Adventure Game? Or hell, even look at the help file? I mean, it's all right there, everything you needed to know. Blagh, okay fine, RP crap, yeah whatever...
"You are deep in The Master's underground sanctuary, inside his own office right now no less. The Master was a brilliant man, a genius. Perhaps the greatest genius in the history of the human race. But the surface dwelling humans were envious and afraid of his projects, and so they launched an military assault on our sanctuary. Our people and their people, died needlessly. If only the surface dwellers could have understood that what we were doing, we did for them too. We were going to bring utopia to humanity."
> Inquire about the meaning of life and ask him if he's single
"I... thought I knew what the meaning of life was once. To conquer death and despair, for humanity to achieve their perfect utopian world. Now I just desire for death to conquer me. Ironic? Probably not.
"Some of The Master's Race found love in one another, but I myself was too busy dedicating myself towards The Master's goal to find love. My dedication saw me receive promotion to the highest rank. I was so proud the day I was received this special suit. But a rank is just a title, nothing more, and it did me no good in the end."
>I want to poop on your head and put a helmet on it!
"You haven't ate anything have you? Then you can't poop. Lucky day for me. I get to die, and I get to not be pooped on."

>Ask how things like ROUS came to be
"ROUS? Who's ROUS?"
Hearing her name, Beloved Pet Eldritch Rat Princess ROUS perked up, and clattered her way over to the desk from the body she was eating. She chirps at you questioningly.
"Wait... I know that... Princess? Princess! Is that really you? I thought you had been killed during the military attack when you didn't return to The Master's office. So, wait, you've named Princess, ROUS? Princess was The Master's Beloved Pet. Everyone knew her; she was always at The Master's side.
"She was one of The Master's earlier failed experiments... or, perhaps successful, depending on how you look at it. She certainly is a smart and sweet little lady eldritch abomination isn't she? It just goes to show you what a wonderful loving person The Master was. Rather than discard Princess, instead he nurtured her and took care of her."
