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?

[resonantblue]

[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]

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.

[glancing down at the spikes. those are just tacky]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

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

[arealeyeopener]

Who are we going to aim for first? Someone who won't get a lot of hits?

[arealeyeopener]

I rather not send anyone plummeting to their death but uh we won't have much control over that.

[resonantblue]

Unlucky...?

Re: Discussion

[asonoficeandfire]

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

[thinkoutsidethebox]

[Erika makes a show of considering, but]

...That seems fine with me. It will be good to see how everyone else is playing... if everyone takes a conservative strategy, all we need to do is make sure we don't have the least. And the likelihood of us being knocked down in the first round is extremely low.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Super tacky]

I see the balloon popping was very literal. Great...

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I doubt this game will be as friendly as the bumper car one.

[asonoficeandfire]

I suppose we should have expected it. This is as bad taste as anything else.

[asonoficeandfire]

What units would logically be less of a target?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Yes. I imagine that the nicer units will all start with minimal damage and avoid hitting each other.

So we should target one of those we think has the greatest chance of surviving measured against if anyone has any particular feelings about a certain unit.

[resonantblue]

Likewise.

[ssssighs]

These are not choices Silence is comfortable making...

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Yes. The only reason we would have to worry is if 6 units targeted us specifically because they didn't know who else to vote for. Since we don't have grudge matches that I'm aware of.

But it's not an impossibility.

[arealeyeopener]

I'm fine targeting anyone. So that will make things a little easier for you.

[pats her head]

Let's get through this fast.
