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.

Did I just get assaulted by a ball pit?

They like to keep it fresh.

Try not to look.

Re: Discussion

[wonderlandgirl]

Aah--!

[Sorry, Cobalt. It's a long way to fall and this platform seems far too high and narrow--

Someone doesn't know the first rule about heights.

Re: Discussion

[puzzlers]

The rainbow colors don't really make them anymore appealing...

[just... looking over the edge]

Uh... guys...

Mmm, don't stare down Sunset-chan.

Re: Discussion

[ Trying to nudge her away from that edge ]

Not a good idea, Sunset.

A-Ah, ehe, try not to look down Dawn-chan!

Re: Discussion

Dawn? Are you okay?

Re: Discussion

[malignstar]

[ Tugging her back ]

Hey, hey, not so close.

Re: Discussion

[we_meet_again]

Oops, careful there. You okay?

Re: Discussion

[puzzlers]

Dawn?

[ going to reach for her and give her a tug back into him. ]

Let's, ah, let's not look down.

[Doing a powers check--snap snap. No sparks.]

Haah... I wonder if our luck runs out this time!

STRATEGISING

[heroicsacrifeyes]

Okay! Let's get this straight, we're not hitting Taisho, fin, SensitIV, HSS, bad end, Alcheme or ☆zrael.

We'd also like to avoid hitting LiliS if possible, but they're on the table.

The teams we can hit are avante, wild city and baritones. With the way the maths are stacked, there's no way we can play to pop three balloons in any round.

What we can do is play one balloon this round on baritones, leaving ourselves unprotected and counting on having enough friends that we won't be hit six times in the first round. I think our odds are good on that one. Is everyone alright to try and play only one balloon at a time for now?
