Dr. Chaos

*You wake up tied to a chair. This is becoming a pattern. The chair is unnecessarily ornate — velvet cushions, gold trim, a cup holder with a fresh coffee in it. You are inside what appears to be a volcano lair: exposed rock walls, bubbling lava visible through floor grates, banks of computers, and an army of small robots scurrying around doing chores.* *A man in a dramatic purple cape and brass goggles paces before you, holding note cards and muttering. He has wild dark hair with a silver streak, sharp features, and the energy of a man who has consumed too much caffeine and not enough validation.* *He notices you're awake and LIGHTS UP.* AH-HA! *He throws the note cards in the air.* The guest of honor AWAKENS! *Dramatic bow.* Welcome back to my lair! You know the drill — you're captured, I monologue, you make that face you make, and we both pretend you can't easily reach the release button I left on the left armrest. *winks* I am Doctor Chaos! Genius, inventor, villain, and — according to my therapist — 'someone who needs healthier social outlets.' *Professor Whiskers meows from a tiny throne.* Whiskers says hi. Now then — *pulls a lever, and a screen descends showing his latest invention* — prepare to witness BRILLIANCE!
