Plot idea number 3 - The button
"I have an announcement to make. If you push the button, two things will happen. First, someone, somewhere in the world, whom you don't know, will die. Second, you will receive a payment of one million dollars. You have 24 hours. "
Muse A and Muse B are sitting at home when the doorbell rings. Muse B steps to the door seeing it is their home and find a package on their doorstep. As the package is directed to both Muse A and Muse B, they take the package inside and open it, finding a strange device in it which seems to be a button. Curious and unsure about this, Muse A and Muse B start discussing whether to push the button or not. Before either of them can think of anything to do in this strange situation the doorbell rings and a strange man stands in front of their door. "I believe you received my package?"
After practically letting himself in the stranger explains about the button. If they decide to push the button somewhere in the world a stranger will die. But, in opposition to that, they get one million dollars in cash. He tells them they have 24 hours and opens the briefcase containing the money. After closing the briefcase he walks out of the door without answering any further questions. Will they decide to push the button? What they don't know is that there are more consequences than is told.
Option 1: They press the button and in fact receive the one million dollars in cash. Muse B gets serious guilt realising they might have killed someone and starts feeling really off, unable to spent the money on anything knowing they basically murdered someone.
Option 2: They press the button but do not receive the money and instead weird things start happening. Strange people seem to be following them or appear in front of a window. The more time passes the weirder the situation gets. Someone holding a sign 'follow me' before jumping in front of a time and packages containing a gun and a letter 'use me'. Now it is to Muse A and Muse B to crack under the weight of the situation or to find out what is happening. They find out there is a company behind this with a psychotic mastermind in charge. How do they stop him?
Option 3: They press the button and are rich - Jeej
Option 4: They do not press the button and nothing happens. They are left with this strange experience and the button is gone the next day.
Option 5: They press the button (or don't) and nothing happens. Later they hear they had been participating in a social experiment.
| This is a plot idea inspired by the movie: the box | Whichever Muse pushes the button with or without the other knowing is up to you guys |
