《Big Red Button.》Crap, I've lost count of the pushes...

You push the button.
Ding.
The room is immediately filled with fog.
Your face still hurts like hell.
It’s pretty thick fog.
Wait, no, there isn’t a pony in there.
...You’re in a concrete box, not a forest.
No, no cars!
There are still cars in that one.
Aren’t there any pictures of solid fog on the internet???
That is clearly smoke.
You know what?
Here.
There. That’s what you see. Just sliiiiiiightly less opaque. And, y'no, grading, from the light up above you. Slightly granulated, too, probably.
It smells like a cold spring morning, and feels like winter is giving you a hug. The cold makes your face feel better, somehow.
That’s nice.
You turn slowly, trying to see if there’s anything in the fog with you. There doesn’t appear to be, but then you can’t exactly see the walls.
Oh! Maybe the tarantula is back! You should wander around, find out!
You walk around the perimeter of the room, trying to see if you’re alone. As soon as you decide you are, you hear a Tik.
In the fog, the sound seems to come from everywhere at once.
Tik.
It’s not an incredibly loud sound, but it is deff originating from somewhere in the room.
You walk around the perimeter again, listening for the tick.
Tik.
It seems to be coming from the center of the room.
You walk away from the wall, stepping slowly into the center.
Tik.
You get to where you can see the button again.
Tik.
You look up.
The fog is condensing on the light. It turns into droplets, which run to the middle of the bulb, right above the button.
Then they drip off.
Tik.
The sound is the water drop hitting the top of the button.
You hold your hand out, catching a few drops, and the noise stops.
After a few moments you wonder how waterproof the button is.
You might want to check on that, make sure it still works.
DO YOU PUSH THE BUTTON? Yes No

Recruit - An Infinite Labyrinth prequel
A prequel to The Infinite Labyrinth. The year is 1816. The British Empire is in full swing, under the auspices of King George III. The Infinite Labyrinth has been pouring out its product from beyond our reality and fostered a new industrial revolution. Times are changing, and the people of London are feeling the winds of the revolution while British Professionals push into the Labyrinth. The newly formed Artefact Hunting Company is looking for recruits, and they have new technology to help them. From the slums of London, they aim to recruit a new wave of Professionals. And make Zacharias and the Earl of Carnavon lots of money. So, for Rowan Rivers and a handful of lucky ones, it's time to head into the Labyrinth, and discover what makes it different from England. And what makes THEM different? Recruit is a bunch of chapters I wrote to create to the setting, mood, and game systems of the Infinite Labyrinth. It is NOT a complete story in the classic sense. It's more of a slice of life view of early days of a normal Professional from the Infinite Labyrinth, and it's heavy on info-dump. It's 90% canon - there's probably a bit of a difference between how some characters and common behaviour are portrayed here and how they'll come out in the main story. Set two years before the events that kick-start the main series, it features some of the secondary/peripheral characters of the Infinite Labyrinth and will tell you all about the basic mechanics of the Labyrinth's RPG system. It can be considered a spoiler, as the characters in the Infinite Labyrinth are going to need to figure out all that, on their own. But if you like a much deeper exposition in the mechanics, here it is. The entire prequel is about 80 pages long.
