《Big Red Button.》Seventh step.

Well, you’ve landed in a room that is basically a giant bouncy castle.
Somewhere outside the rubber walls, you hear the sound of an air pump, making sure the bouncy floor and walls stay extra bouncy! Let’s bounce!
Rather, you bounce, I’m gonna disconnect the button for a couple seconds and go talk to that IT dude…
“Max! What the hell? What is wrong with the geode room?”
“Look, Chris didn’t want me to tell you, but that’s the room that was supposed to have been taken out of the list. They wanted the dude to take a crystal off the geode and give it to them.”
“...”
“What?”
“The dude has a crystal.”
“What?”
“The dude has a crystal. I was trying to get them to press the button, and they broke off a crystal and shoved it into their mouth! I thought it was just kinda weird!”
“We have to get it back. Erm, say- say it’s poison or something. Say it’s full of arsenic. I don’t know.”
“Like they’ll believe me! They’re working with Them for crying out loud!”
“Well, what proof do They have of anything?! It’s their word against ours, and we’re the ones in control of the rooms!”
“What seems to be the problem?”
“Chris, you moron, why didn’t you tell me about the geode room?!”
“I told you we should tell Alex! Now the dude has a crystal!”
“That… is not good.”
“Nope!”
“No! It isn’t!”
“Perhaps if we give the subject enough food rooms-“
“The dude’s had a gold coin in their mouth since yesterday, I don’t think they’re going to forget about the crystal.”
“Alex, go back to your office, I’ll think of something.”

“Like what?”
“I don’t know yet. Something. I’ll figure it out.”
“Well you’d better figure it out soon.”
“Thank you, Max, I was unaware of the urgency of the situation.”
“Back to my office, here I go, like everything is normal…”
How are your knees feeling? Are they getting tired of all the bouncing yet?
Oh, you’re just sitting there, not bouncing. Right.
You’re… looking at the crystal. It’s kinda pretty. Not as pretty as the coin. It’s sort of see-through purplish blue? It’s a basic five sided crystal shape. Two inches long. Honestly, you could pick up one that looks exactly the same at any gift shop in the midwest. They’re not all that unique.
Also, this one has slobber all over it. That’s kinda gross, right? You should just leave it, get a prettier one once you-
You glare. You are not going to be leaving the crystal behind. Understood.
Anyways. If you’ve had enough of the bouncing, how about pushing the button again? I’ve reconnected it now, you can move on…
You shove the crystal back into your mouth. Because there’s no way you’re leaving it behind. Got it.
DO YOU PRESS THE BUTTON? Yes No
