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?

I wanna fight next time, though!

Just cross me out on the button reward list.

You've got a deal. Although it's a punishment button this time.

You could still fight now, but we're probably getting interrupted soon.

Oh? Damn, guess coming late is a bit unfortunate to find that out afterwards.

Yeeaahh, it uh. If we didn't push it, we'd get punished. By pushing it, we move that punishment to another Family. But, of course, another Family can push their button to punish us, so.

...Well, people knew what they were coming back to. We all did. And the only way to lessen the burden for everyone most fairly is to play it out properly. We know these guys don't like it when everyone tries to avoid playing their games.

Re: DISCUSSION

Right, we all know the score here. If we have to play along with their games, then we can at least play our own way within the rules.
