avante en garde

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.

Wait so, does this mean when didn't get hit at all last round?

Re: Discussion

[unbr8kable]

[equally confused]

Or only once, right? Since we got a protection.

...What do you wanna do now?

Re: Discussion

[aboyandhiscar]

Yeah. . .uh, that's my line. Either we lose by losing six balloons or having among the lowest number, right? So. We can hit three, and gain one, so it'll cancel out two potential hits. Or we can defend, and cancel out one potential hit.

So I guess it's a matter of thinking whether we'll be safe with only 8 or 7 balloons.

That's what it looks like.

Re: Discussion

[aboyandhiscar]

Yeah! [HM HM HM DON'T SHOW THAT YOU'RE WORRIED CUZ THIS MEANS FOLKS MIGHT GET THEM THIS ROUND]

Okay, okay. So. . .if we're gonna prioritize living, that means we're either gonna end up with 8 or 7 balloons left.

[leans down to pat him on the head]

What's up man?

Re: Discussion

[aboyandhiscar]

Okay, looks like we're going for 2 to defend.

And the votes would be for. . .Lilis and, Baritones. Anyone got any objections, seriously, I wanna hear them.

Re: Discussion

[composeur]

[ i mean he literally voted for BARiTONES earlier but, ]

Hmmm... I wonder if Tenshi and Kohime will get mad?

Re: Discussion

[unbr8kable]

[doesn't bring anything up, though]

Re: Discussion

[calmthefoxdown]

[ Feeling kinda bad since Baritones protected us that one game... ]

We don't have any other unspoken alliances we should be considering, do we... ?

Re: Discussion

[aboyandhiscar]

[after talking to PEOPLE]


. . .

Okay, it's a risk, but. You guys can avoid hitting Baritones. . .if we just go for one balloon. Is that what you guys want?

Re: Discussion

[composeur]

......... it's already too late for them isn't it?

[ god he's gotten so quiet, why are you making this even harder ]

Re: Discussion

[aboyandhiscar]

Dunno. This is about what you want. Don't think about what other teams might have done.

Re: Discussion

[emotionalsupportghost]

Is it...? If it's what the kids want, I'm good with that.

Re: Discussion

[aboyandhiscar]

Same, yeah. So, gonna see.

Re: Discussion

[unbr8kable]

[ffffrowns]

If we don't block anything, we might be on the chopping block ourselves. Is that what you want, for someone who's probably going down this time anyways?

Re: Discussion

[aboyandhiscar]

S'like I said, I want what you want. You're upset, yeah? What's gonna hit you harder?

. . .you told me when I first got here, you can't protect everyone, so you try no to protect anyone. Well, now's your chance. If you want it.

Re: Discussion

[calmthefoxdown]

I'd be okay with that. I feel like we at least owe them a non-attack, even if they might be overwhelmed with attacks, for being the only unit to protect us in a game where you could only protect one unit.

Decision

Re: Decision

[aboyandhiscar]

1 balloon - lilis

note

[idolpro]

none of your balloons popped, so your protection was null and void this round (you can't reuse for the next round)
