When the game starts, you find something grabbing onto your ankle and dragging you under the ballpit until you find yourself sitting on a disco floor platform with your team. It is only being held up by eleven balloons.

You make decisions on a cool arcade machine where you can SELECT A TEAM'S BALLOON. If a character is blind or has no hands or smth, you can assume things can be read to you and you can automatically pick through your speech. Thanks, Alexa.

If you look over the platform, you can see a lot of sparkling rainbow spikes below.

...We lost three...

[ sucks in a breath between her teeth. ]

I didn't think we'd lose that many this soon...

Re: Discussion

[rootoflove]

We... should protect ourselves this round.

Re: Discussion

[phoni]

Yeah. Yeah, we need to.

[ runs a hand through her hair, expression hardening. ]

So we need two this turn...

Re: Discussion

[rootoflove]

...How are we going to choose?

Re: Discussion

[phoni]

I think... the only way we really can is kinda randomly. 'Cause when you think about it this is like the bomb one reversed, right? We don't know how anyone else is choosing, like... 'no one else will pick this unit so it will be fine if we do', and then...

[ 'and then that unit dies' goes unsaid. ]

Re: Discussion

[rootoflove]

[nods]

I agree. No matter what we do, we might end up killing someone. At least if we select at random, we're taking some of the weight off our shoulders.

Re: Discussion

[youpoorthing]

...There isn't really a way to choose "correctly" when we don't know, yeah.

[So random is probably the best they can do, honestly. Not going to comment on the number of balloons they're popping.]

Re: Discussion

[phoni]

Then how about... [ goes through all the units in her head. ] Um, WILD CITY and future is now?

Re: Discussion

[rootoflove]

That's fine by me.

[youpoorthing]

...Okay.

Re: Discussion

[youpoorthing]

[Three...]

Re: Discussion

[theyregooddogs]

[l-long sigh]

What, what round?

Re: Discussion

[phoni]

[ doubletakes when she sees him. ]

This is the second.

Re: Discussion

[theyregooddogs]

Mm. Who did we—?

Re: Discussion

[rootoflove]

[why does dad have to be here]

...AlcheME!. We were planning to pick WILD CITY and future is now for this round.

Re: Discussion

[theyregooddogs]

[tilting his head, weighing that]

Okay.

Re: Discussion

[phoni]

AlcheME! last time. This time we decided on future is now and WILD CITY at random.

Re: Discussion

[theyregooddogs]

Alright. Might be good to keep a running list of who we've protected and targeted. To keep it random.

Re: Discussion

[phoni]

For every game?

Re: Discussion

[theyregooddogs]

Yeah, just to be mindful.

Re: Discussion

[youpoorthing]

...The second. We hit AlcheME! with one, and lost three.

Re: Discussion

[theyregooddogs]

Probably two or three teams picking us. Can't see it being one. So, that's two or three people who can't target us again. Better to keep everyone around unless people can pick a unit that already fell out.

Re: Discussion

[youpoorthing]

...That makes sense...
