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.

Why?

Re: Discussion

The most obvious reason is that I don't want you to do something you're gonna regret. How many times have you felt like you had to do something for us and then been miserable for it later?

And besides, I don't like it. Obviously I'd pick future is now over all those other units, but as far as I know, avante is the second closest thing we have to an ally.

Of course I'm gonna be miserable about it. I hate it. But when the choice is hurting the rest of you--

I'm a tough girl. I can take it. Sure, maybe I'll sulk about it for a while, but that's whatever. It's not like I'm doing anything wrong.

I don't think you should have to be taking it when there are units on there that probably cut us in their first round.

We can't keep... hoping we can rely on people like this, by assumptions. And getting burned for it. Or surprised by it.

[ well that puts him on the hostile defensive fast. ]

—What's that supposed to mean? You think I'm just as much of a naive idiot as Ashley does? I've never done that!

Re: Discussion

[stakesthesame]

No, I'm saying I want to talk to people we trust and get definite answers as to whether they care enough about us to help us or not!

That's all!

We ASSUMED Fin would protect us before! Maybe you knew, but how would I have? I'd ASSUMED Avante would have even gave us a passing thought, but they admitted flat out they didn't! I'm not calling you an idiot, I'm saying without everyone involved, nobody has any way of knowing any of this dumb junk for sure.

We never assumed future is now would protect us! I didn't assume that! I thought, at most—maybe if we're lucky, Angel will put in a word for Red. Why do you think I didn't even bother to argue for them?!

Re: Discussion

[carnivorouscarnival]

... I wouldn't say something if I didn't think there was real evidence for it. But you're right that getting a clear understanding of where other units stand wouldn't hurt.

Sorry.
