SUN SIGN

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?

[ She remains deeply flustered, putting her hand over the spot.

... admittedly she hadn't really thought of a new name since signing the paperwork, so that takes her by surprise. ]

Scarlet? I-- no, I haven't yet...

I-I'm not arguing that it isn't but it's far from what I'd expected...

... um. I'm sorry, I don't think we've formally met either...?

Non, I don't believe so! But if you'll be walking among the astrologers, I suppose I could make it formal?

Good for you and her, then.

Let me know when you decide. I'd like to be able to call you by a name that brings only good memories to mind, not troubled ones.

Until then... it's good to have you here. And while I understand it will take some time, I hope you will make yourself at home.

More that, she's someone I've come to admire.

As rare as transfers between Families are, I hope this one is as good for her as it has been to many of the others who find their way here.

[ The ceiling opens up and water begins to pour into the room, like a dam has been broken and has come gushing forth. Standing on the table will do no good; the water levels are rising rapidly.

At least, until another door in the ceiling opens and a few inflatable toys are spat out into the water. Another trap door opens at one end of the room, sending your family flying out with the rapids. Quick, grab something! You should be able to grab the cute duckie innertube or the shark kickboard if you try. After being sent through what seems like an impossibly twisting track, you are spat out into the room below. You are dripping wet and are at risk of catching a cold if you don't dry off quickly. The clothes you're wearing are soaked. ]

If I had wanted to, I would have been far more discreet than this.

Having the action be public adds to the weight of it.
