CIRRUS NETWORK

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?

REMINDING PEOPLE OF THE STAKES IS NOT TAKING HOSTAGES

You didn't --

[getting him in a headlock if he can, putting his not-inconsiderable strength into it]

--ban it completely! This is a fully different circumstance!

These things have a saturation point.

Because I knew this was what would happen if I tried to argue against it.

At least one Family, I am fairly sure, will remember the pain a lot more clearly than any direct or indirect messaging after.

If that Family has a lot of friends, it's going to be a exponential problem.

I will give you one chocolate.

Then let someone else fucking saturate!

[pulls Tali's hair]

That's twice as likely!

Has this happened thus far?

There's no need. You already told me how you feel. I have no problem keeping your words in mind.

Oh, so it only matters if it's exactly the same?

[you know what maybe today is the day I BITE YOU uses his also not inconsiderable strength to jerk on Vincent's wrist so he can bite into his forearm]

Not to speak for the rest of the group, but I did get cornered after my first bad performance and accused of being a heartless murderer, despite quite a bit of reasoning proving the contrary. Hence, wishing to exercise caution.

Honestly, that's a great reason and I appreciate your brother even more.

What?

So you didn't want anyone to get hurt last time?

[SNARLS FULLY FERALLY but just locks his arm harder, shaking Booker like a terrier shakes a rat]

You don't want to, I don't want to. You don't think it's worth it, I do. That's what it boils down to.
