future is now

[idolpro]

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.

How do you want to play this you guys?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

We avoid hitting ☆ZRAEL and BARiTONES.

I say we play the first round conservatively - one or two -- and adjust as needed.

[resonantblue]

There is no right way. If anyone has preferences, they must step forward.

I'm guessing if we don't play, we'll fall to our death as punishment.

[has been missing for... quite some time now! since before the re-amnesia game, at least]

It should be scientifically impossible for eleven balloons to hold up as many people as this...

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You're very unlucky in your timing. You know that?

[asonoficeandfire]

The games hardly runs on logic.

[On the arcade screen, you can see pixels of various teams showing up on the screen, all of them standing on the balloon platform. They're quite cute. The music is a catchy chiptune sound but the sound effects are another matter.

You hear it beneath you.

A ★pop★!

Pop!

Another p★p!

The platform tilts. You feel your balance tilt with it. One loud pop echos through the room, and you and the platform are sliding off below, and before you land into those sharp spikes, you see those bright colors sparkling right before your eyes.

Pop.]

Final Score: 5
