UNHOLY DISORDER

[livestage]

You find yourselves in a surprisingly sterile room. It's entirely white, almost blindingly so. There are a few beanbag chairs to sit on, though perhaps not enough for your entire family. On one of the walls, there's a laminated poster of a wheel. At the center of the room is a table with a glass case on top. If you lift the case, you'll find a single red button. Behind a glass panel on the wall is a monitor that is currently off.

Curiously, it does not seem as though you can actually destroy anything in this room (save for a simple note by the button), regardless of how much you may try. The glass will never shatter. The poster cannot be torn into pieces. Furthermore, your blessings and powers are off and none of your personal belongings are actually on your person.

A simple note lays by the button on the table, a reminder of your directive: Will you push the button?

Re: DISCUSSION

[afineknight]

. . .

It is just a button?

Re: DISCUSSION

[monkeyseemonkeydoom]

Yup! Hey, since you're the new guy, why don't you go ahead and push it?

Re: DISCUSSION

[restitui]

"Just" is minimizing it's, like, significance.

Re: DISCUSSION

[notlikeanyone]

And a monitor, don't forget the monitor. Whatever happens with the button, we're gonna have to watch it.

Re: DISCUSSION

[untilldeath]

Technically, it is just a button.

[ looks more annoyed than apprehensive, but the worry is still there as he breathes out: ]

So.


Two days. We went two days back. I should really be more surprised than I am.

Re: DISCUSSION

[untilldeath]

Your first mistake was being optimistic, huh. Not surprised.

Re: DISCUSSION

[grifteryshack]

[Looking at the wheel poster...]

"Insurance fraud"? Can we just take that? Seems fine.

That'll be getting hit by a car, won't it?

Re: DISCUSSION

[untilldeath]

[Appears just few minutes behind everyone else.]

. . . . Uh. Has anyone pushed the button already?

Re: DISCUSSION

[vapour]

[ he is very tired and late to this party and wow there is an actual brawl happening???

why does he always miss the fun stuff.

time to do the mature thing while everyone is busy that isn't choosing (immediate?) violence, he guesses: which is definitely pressing the button.

hopefully makes panic button noise or operation buzz noise or something dumb. ]

[ button is pushed once, the attached reference image may be inaccurate compared to the actual product received. ]

RESULTS

Re: RESULTS

[carveitout]

[ Suddenly, two sides of the room open up opposite to one another. But just when you think that maybe you can leave, you are greeted by a pair of glowing lights in the distance. And then, the loud honk of a horn.

A colorful car comes barrelling through the room. Fortunately, there's only one, though you still may get sent flying. Fortunately, the car wasn't going too fast, so the worst you'd be leaving with is a single broken bone. You'll definitely get some road rash, though.

After the car has long since left you in its dust, a trap door opens beneath you, dumping you back into the main room. One letter for each of you comes floating down to land gently on your face. If you're in the mood to read it, you'll find it's a letter from Estorian Insurance letting you know it has you covered. ]
