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?

How bad do you think puppies could be?

Hopefully harmless! But...

Whatever it ends up being, think you could talk them out of it?

I guess it's worth a shot, if I get a chance to try...?

Negotiating with feral puppies is definitely something you could put on your resume.

Valuable work experience!

Better than frozen yogurt.

Puppies are better than most things! Normally.

...Any thoughts?

This is super dumb, but I kind of want to press it just 'cause it's a button.

I know that's not a good reason, for the record.

...Okay. And, um - when considering other reasons than just wanting to push it for the sake of it...?

I think I'd rather not.

...Yeah. I'm with you on that.

This is soooooo stupid.

It really is.

Sorry if whatever it is ends up really sucking.

Oh, yeah, I'll be sure to blame you first. Don't worry.

[he says so fucking dryly]

Noooooo.

Yep. Take responsibility for all of our decisions.
