You are standing by a tree
There are 3 paths.
One appears to go to a jungle,
one appears to go to a cave,
one appears to go to a beach,
you could try and climb the tree,
there is a nearby shop you could go in,
or you could do something else.
So what's its going to be?

You sit under the tree
You sit under the tree.
Suddenly...

See? Keep moving or you get tranked. That's how the game is played.
Your relaxing moment under the tree is rudely interrupted by an abrupt transformation. You are hit by a tranquilizer dart, which turns you into a person with a tranquilizer dart stuck in their neck. It's an easy change. Of course, your train of thought gets about as far as "Oh good heavens, a dart of some kind. I'd betteeerrgmphqq," at which point the dart takes effect, and you slump under the tree like a drugged-up rag doll. A half-hearted twitch is all the moving you do for quite some time. Eventually, you wake up. When you do, you are...

The Institute
Whatever was in the tranquilizer, it's not very eager to wear off. In the vague fog between awake and asleep, you learn that you are in a sitting position, in a mildly comfortable chair, and there is a nice-sounding voice welcoming you to the Transformational Institute.
Your mind clears. You are in what appears to be some sort of lobbey. The walls are covered with mirror tiles (probably one-way mirrors hiding cameras, you note), as are the ceiling and floor. There is also a plain white desk, with an attractive woman in a labcoat sitting behind it.
On the wall behind her you see an elevator, and a frightening-looking black double door marked "Main Lab." On the wall to your right, there is a far friendlier door with a smiley face on it and a large orange "Welcome" painted on it. The woman in the labcoat smiles at you.
"Just pick a door and you'll be on your way."
So, which door do you pick?

The Elevator
You step into the elevator. You figure it'll at least give you more options. The doors snap shut behind you, and you have a look around. Most of the elevator is mirrored, like the lobby. On the ceiling, though, is a device that appears to be a ray gun, the kind they show in 1920s interpretations of the "future." It looks menacing, and it looks like it can kill things, and it tracks your movements. You decide to be ever so careful as you select a button. Unfortunately, the buttons are all abbreviations, so they don't make much sense to you...

The Labyrinth
The elevator lurches for a moment, then starts to drop alarmingly quickly. Even more alarming, the odd device above you glows green and buzzes strangely. <spanFullTF>A bright green jet of light shoots out of the gun, catching your shirt. You see in the mirror that your clothes are glowing to match the beam,and they are morphing into a black sheet-like thing. The beam turns off.
Every scrap of clothing on you has merged into a huge black toga. You can barely keep it on you.
The gun charges again, and this time the beam hits you.
You're instantly engulfed in pain and a deep, anger. You feel yourself growing taller. Your muscles twitch and bulge. Your skin become thicker and covered in dark brown fur. Your feet become black hooves, and the pain only becomes greater. Your neck bulges, and your head begins to swell and elongate, becoming that of a bull, and a tail pokes out from the base of your spine. Another wave of change pulses through your body, and you become male. </spanFullTF>
The changes are finished, and you have become a<spanSumTF><span class="female"> male</span></spanSumTF> minotaur. Beyond your physical changes, though, you sense a change in your very soul. You feel a deep seated rage for an unmentionable wrong. You can feel torment welling up within you as you relive the anguish of a childhood that is entirely new to you and yet, utterly familiar. Rejection from birth. Suspicion, anger, rejection, and ultimately, imprisonment...such pain can only be repaid with destruction. Your life's ambition is now seeking revenge. You also want to eat a few children in the process.
Your blind rage is interrupted with an overly chipper voice from the walls of the elevator: "Labyrinth." The doors slide open with a delightful "PING," and the voice says, "Have a nice day." You mutter a thousand curses upon the voice. Beyond the door is an endless network of underground tunnels. You charge headlong into your new home, ready to face any challengers that dare enter your underground realm. What do you do now?
