Your name is PRISCILLA THEOCIDE.
You are a GIRLVOID SLIMEPRINCESS.
[[:O->TRAPPED]]You are, however, trapped in the GENDER LAB.
[[D:->INTRO]]The Gender Lab is a secretive compound on the outskirts of Impact Crater 1, where the first of the gender meteors landed some 10 years ago. Since then researchers, acting under the watchful eye of the GREAT IDENTITY TERMINUS, have conducted experiments on the new and exotic genders uncovered, hoping to finally unlock the secret to ETERNAL GENDERNESS. Amid the scorched-out buildings and hollowed cisoliths rise chrome panels and gunmetal gates.
[[Recall how you got here.->RECALL]]You ate a new gender.
It tasted good, though!!!!
[[Survey surroundings.->SURROUNDINGS]]Flanking to your right is a balustrade of superconducting gender emitters creating vertical bars of cyan luminescent Danger. To your left is a wall. Behind and in front of you are also walls, this time in yellow. It’s a jailcell.
[[Touch the vertical bars of cyan luminescent Danger.->ROUTE 1]]
[[Demand your right to be released as a Heralded Slimeprincess.->ROUTE 2]]
[[Make a spooky noise.->ROUTE 3]]
[[Walk through the vertical bars of cyan luminescent Danger.->EXIT]]Nothing actually happens. They’re just kinda. There. Still can’t get through them, though.
[[:/->ROUTE 1 001]]Heralded Slimeprincess is not actually an official title of any monarchy extinct, extant, or yet-to-be-xtant, and as such is not recognized by anyone in the Gender Laboratory.
You chose it because you thought it sounded cool.
[[Phooey->SURROUNDINGS]] OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo.
[[:D->SURROUNDINGS]]You walk up to the bars and.
Sorta.
Just.
Walk through them.
...Wow that was easy, wasn’t it?
[[Do a void dance.->VOID DANCE]]You do leave a bit of slime on their glow.
[[Hehehe.->SURROUNDINGS]]You do your sickest void dance, which every girlvoid knows by heart. You aren’t any good at it but it’s the spirit that counts.
[[Now what?->NOW]]The room past the bars is empty, save for random splotches of yellow (a gender repellant, the internet has told you), and a door with a keypad lock built in. No windows, cameras, or other forms of prospective surveillance equipment are present.
[[A trap?->QUESTION]]No they’re probably just underfunded.
[[Go up and type on the keypad.->KEYPAD]]What do you type on the keypad?
[[69->OPEN]]
[[80085->OPEN]]
[[5L1M3->OPEN]]
[[WHY DO TH3Y C4LL 17 0F 1N 1F YOU 0F 0U7 TH3 0F 1N 4ND 0V3N TH3 1N->OPEN]]
[[lesbians :)->OPEN]]It doesn’t actually matter what you type because the door opens anyways.
[[Hooray!->EXPERIMENTS]]The hallways ahead are lined with mind-proofed glass overlooking arrays of gender experiments. Fragments of a meteorite congeal along a silver needle, vibrating with all the luminescent colors of the UV spectrum, data that can be used to create hyperlight binaries. Running like spinal cords far past the experiment grounds are transport elevators, constantly whirring with warning lights as they haul new materials into lower testing wings or upwards into Official Business Catacombs (for Official Business). No walls divide the experiment grounds; they are one contiguous plain, stretching wide enough that a blue-lit fog envelops them and the shadows of the elevator shafts.
Doors open to the grounds; each are yellow.
[[Avoid the doors because that’s real spooky. :S->HALLWAY]]Yeah it’s fucked.
You keep proceeding and eventually clear the windows, instead entering a maze of branching hallways whose only distinguishing characteristics are beige doors, nameplates, overhead fluorescents (flickering), and general dolor. It’s dull so instead of walking you start void-walking, and, since nothing can’t be trapped in a maze because mazes can only trap something, you reach the exit.
[[...->PAUSE]]You then encounter four ATTACK GENDERS.
[[...->OHFUCK]]Ohfuck.
[[RUN]]
[[AAAAAAAAAA->RUN]]
[[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA->RUN]]AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA and you zip past the genders, zigging your zags down hallways like a non-copyrighted character evading the attacks of non-copyrighted enemies at ludicrously fast speeds that would get you arrested if any speed genders were around to find YOU
JUMP PAST A DOOR AND SHUT IT BEHIND YOU
REALFAST
[[FUCK]]Attack genders don’t have arms so you’re good.
[[Problem is the door is yellow.->YELLOW]]The gender you absorbed is repelled by the shade and flung through several steel walls like a bullet. Once you collide with a concrete barricade you stagger up to discover that several security guards have their MOBILE ASSAULT GENDERS trained at you with SIGHTS ON.
[[COOL ACTION??????????????->COOL ACTION]]Most of their bullets miss you because you’re a girlvoid and bullets can’t hit gender voids. They can, however, hit your SLIMEPRINCESS, and several rounds of lead blow through your green goopbody. You do a really cool magical anime girl transformation and fire a volley of thermal lasers, piercing their armor with Violently Bright Orange Ionized Slime Spears and sending them to the goop dimension. Just when you think you’re done several more sprint in, and an entire gender mecha bursts through the ceiling.
[[Cite your nature as a princess to dissuade them.->DUMMY]]You’re not an official princess, dummy!
[[`===>`->CONTINUE]]You fight and fight and fight and punch a dude so hard he becomes a gender but you’re REALLY TIRED. If you don’t escape soon you’ll TAKE A VERY INCONVENIENT AND INADEQUATELY TIMED NAP.
You see no exit paths emerging.
You might take a nap.
[[Deus Machina: Ex->DEUS EX MACHINA]]A really cool shark girl then kicks through the wall and slugs a soldier in the head.
[[0_0]]Xe then starts fighting people in a really cool action sequence that would be sick to describe but would take up too much time and also you’re staring too much at xyr boobs. The remaining guards flee in terror and the concrete barricade breaks down to expose sungenderlight from the outside world.
[[Woahhhhhhhh]]
You’re still staring at xyr boobs.
Xe looks over at you and flashes a serrated grin. Xe introduces xyrself as DELETER OF PATHS ONWARDS TO THE COLOPHON HORIZON AMBIVALENCE, or Del for short, and describes xyrself as a rebel against the Great Identity Terminus and an ardent supporter of the destruction of ALL BINARIES. Xe has haunted pride sigils on xyr jacket and boots studded in solid ectoplasm spikes.
You’re still staring at xyr boobs.
Xe enjoys the sentiment.
[[Now what? #0_0#->ONWARDS]]Xe says more security is likely to be inbound so both of you better skiddaddle quick. There’s a blast-plated, railgun-mounted Vespa xe rode in on a few yards off, with enough hammerspace storage to hold an extra person or two. The paint on it cuts orange across the grey dead wasteland.
[[...->WASTED]]Once you’re out both of you are probably gonna get wasted or something.
