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?

Yep, we all just showed up. Are you... Why are you soggy, actually?

I was in the... the ocean.

[ she says kind of uncertainly. Then pauses. ]

...

I guess-- the boat just knows who goes where? I hope I'm supposed to be here, anyway.

I... a bit ago, The Sun Sign accepted me-- I mean, I filled out all the paperwork and all... back on land. I don't know if that-- if that's why the boat put me here, though...

...Seems right to me? The boat is pretty creepy like that.

Pretty unfortunate timing, though.

Ah...

[ an awkward pause. ]

Um, then it's-- it's nice to meet you... I'm sorry, I have no name to give you though.

Don't worry about it. I'm Calico.

Calico, then.

Welcome to Sun Sign, I guess.

—Oh, but is it cool if I ask what you were doing in the ocean?

I don't know. I really don't know I was in the ship and then. I wasn't.

Ok, weird. The only time I've heard of anything like that happening, it was because someone jumped off the ship.

No, I was definitely inside. I got lost, but...
