SUN SIGN

[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?

Kind of hard to see how that would even be relevant here.

It is if one is caught.

Hi?

[On the positive side of things, being pulled for the maze of who-even-knows-where back to known territory is a bit of a relief.

On the less positive side, arriving at the stage only to be dumped here with barely time to blink leaves something to be desired.]

Of all the producers... at least this time our captive isn't nearly as graphic.

Re: DISCUSSION

[ 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. ]
