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.

. . .

In a game like this, I feel like it makes more sense for us to be hitting the harder hitting units, than punishing the ones who are largely innocent.

This entire situation is frustrating.

But I have lots of people I care for on AlcheMe and don't care to harm them.

[sancrimony]

Mm, it is frustrating. I'm certain Taisho Roman Revolution is one that will protect themselves better, at least.

[backstory]

I hope that you are right.

I guess in the end there is little we can do. But this is a miserable situation. I have not... had to pick a team to harm before.

[sancrimony]

. . . This is the nature of many of these games, unfortunately.

[backstory]

I wish to destroy all of hell piece by miserable piece.

[sancrimony]

. . . Hold fast to that wish, Aniki.

[backstory]

Mm.

[Approaches to whisper in his ear]

A woman on LiliS may be Lucifel or Persephone's mother.

[backstory]

[ . . . . . . . . . . ]

Wait-- WHAT!??

[sancrimony]

Ah - she's definitely. . . I'm sure she's definitely Ani-ue's mother.

[backstory]

I... I don't understand. . .

They received such memories?

[sancrimony]

Mmm. Uhm. . .

That person looks - very . . . strikingly like my own mother, in my own memory. I believe Ani-ue remembers her as well, but if nothing else, I have seen a man in that person's memory that also shows up in Ani-ue's memory.

Moreover, though our . . . childhood circumstances may have been similar to some extent - possibly - our lives have branched off in such a way that it's impossible for us to have been in the same world, and her memories seems to skew closer to Ani-ue's memories.

[backstory]

That is. . .

I apologize. I didn't realize any of this.

[ . . . He'll have to talk to Persephone ]

Of course, I would not have us target LiliS then.

[sancrimony]

. . . You should speak with him about the matter. Truthfully, it isn't something that I have a right to speak about.

[backstory]

That is fine. When this affair is over, I will see what we can do.

[nihilmancy]

[Persephone's mom is a milf]

Mm, in any case... I also care for somebody on that Unit. But... I also know that we must do as we must to protect ourselves.

[sancrimony]

Aah.

[ with a noncommittal noise, looking to the machine instead ]

Then, we've decided.
