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?

You want to sign us all up to be mangled just to prove me wrong? Is that the angle you're going for?

It's the fastest way to kill you and Vincent. So actually it works out pretty nicely for me if you think about it.

[-- oh no]

I'm not bad enough to be on the shitlist next to him.

Re: DISCUSSION

[mykidisthebest]

You're right, you're not. But it is a faster way to claim your life than to wait ten days, you know? It would be efficient on my part.

Re: DISCUSSION

[thefaultinthestars]

...it would be faster, but you'd be taking Tali down with us.

Re: DISCUSSION

[mykidisthebest]

Tali's one of the people requesting we don't push the button.

[wavering visibly all the same]

Re: DISCUSSION

[thefaultinthestars]

If you knew for sure Tali would get blended, would you hit the button?

[ FROM ACROSS THE ROOM ]

STOP HOLDING ME HOSTAGE IN HYPOTHETICAL

Re: DISCUSSION

[thefaultinthestars]

YOU'RE HOLDING EVERYONE OUTSIDE HOSTAGE IN HYPOTHERICAL

Re: DISCUSSION

[socialcapital]

REMINDING PEOPLE OF THE STAKES IS NOT TAKING HOSTAGES

Re: DISCUSSION

[mykidisthebest]

Why are you pushing so hard against it when you were all for taking the punishments last time?

Re: DISCUSSION

[thefaultinthestars]

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

Re: DISCUSSION

[mykidisthebest]

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

Re: DISCUSSION

[thefaultinthestars]

What does it matter?

Re: DISCUSSION

[mykidisthebest]

It's pretty relevant, don't you think?

Re: DISCUSSION

[thefaultinthestars]

Clearly not since nothing has changed.

[now is probably a good time to go for the button and get tackled by either tali or vincent]

[mykidisthebest]

--Don't avoid the question because you don't want to answer it!

[he will physically help tackle Booker but only to get him to respond lol. priorities]

Re: DISCUSSION

[thefaultinthestars]

[EXCUSE ME??]

Did you forget what side you're on??

[punches??]

Re: DISCUSSION

[mykidisthebest]

[KICKS HIM]

Answer me honestly and I might help you. Depending on your answer.

Re: DISCUSSION

[thefaultinthestars]

Make your own decisions! You're asking--[punches again!] --everyone else and not committing to anything yourself!

Re: DISCUSSION

[mykidisthebest]

[reels back since other people are holding him down, catches his breath, and then goes to punch him in the stomach]

I'm making my decisions based off of the facts I'm given! So tell me!

Re: DISCUSSION

[thefaultinthestars]

I've given you enough, come up with -[oof, takes the hit but then just returns it in kind]-- come up with a few of your own!

Re: DISCUSSION

[mykidisthebest]

[grabs his cheeks and pulls]

Say you like us and don't want us to get hurt and I'll press the button you shithead
