Big Red Button.
Another press.

Another press.

You press the button, a bit more thoughtful now.

Dong.

The masks vanish. Oh thank goodness.

Now there’s an area in the corner that’s blocked off by a blue shower curtain with yellow duckies on it. How cute.

When you pull back the curtain you see a full bathroom! Complete with shampoo and soap and all that good stuff. When you turn on the water, it’s freezing cold.

Yeah, sorry about that. Give it a minute, it’ll warm up.

Hmm? Me?

Oh! Right! Just close the curtain, I won’t pay any attention to what you do behind it. I have a report to fill out, remember? And if you take too long I might slip out for another latte.

----------------------------------------

Just remember: you don’t know when you’ll get out of this room. Doors very rarely appear. And given the general dislike of repeating rooms, you probably won’t come across another bathroom any time soon.

Yep, there you go.

Actually, tell ya what, I’ll just disconnect the button and run out for a latte. You have fun. I’ll be back in a mo.

Whew, that was a long line. Took me like thirty minutes to what are you doing?

Are you trying to drown the button?

I mean, pretty clever of you, to fill a shampoo bottle with water to-

Wait, no! What exactly did you think would happen? Did you think it would short out or something? I told you I’d disconnected it!

Also, yeah, news flash, you aren’t the first person to dump water on the button to see what would happen. Hell, we’ve had people dump all kinds of liquids onto that thing. One guy peed on it. Didn’t think it through that he’d have to touch the button after that. He wasn’t the brightest.

But come on! You’ve already seen water and jello hit that thing to no effect, what did you think would be different now? Just the sheer volume of water? Yeah, no.

That button

Does

Not

Break.

Deal with it.

You’re gonna be stuck in that room until we let you out.

----------------------------------------

Are you doing this because of something to do with the mask?

Did the mask tell you not to trust me? Because I’m totally trustworthy. Hell, right now I’m the closest thing you’ve got to a friend! I have your best interests at heart!

Just tell me what you saw in the mask.

Give me a hint.

Something.

Come on, dude, don’t leave me in the dark.

Fine.

----------------------------------------

I connect the button again.

You may or may not have had a shower.

DO YOU PRESS THE BUTTON? Yes No
