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.

Okay, soooo, we're definitely not hitting them, and we're gonna try not to die, so that isn't the first thing you talk to your Ma about.

[emotionalsupportghost]

Yeah. ...Yeah.

What about you? Anyone you want to avoid yet?

[aboyandhiscar]

Nah. I've met a chunk of folks, but we're all on even ground, y'know? My priority is you guys, and what you want.

[emotionalsupportghost]

Nemesis and Shishiou want to pop three balloons.

[aboyandhiscar]

--dang, they're going hard. I mean, I'm fine with it, if they are. Kinda sucks for whoever we hit, but that's gonna happen anyway.

[emotionalsupportghost]

I want to know what Gold thinks first. Has he said anything to you yet?

[aboyandhiscar]

I think he's thinking on it--says he doesn't wanna hit Alcheme or Wild City.

If the goal here is to live, if that's how they're leaning, maybe we oughta hit 3, then two, than one? Get a feel for things after the first round.

[emotionalsupportghost]

Maybe...

If we do hit three, should we just pick teams at random? Excluding our vetoes.

[aboyandhiscar]

Probably! Let's see, uh. . .

[one sec, Nem weighing in]

So Azreal and Heart Soldier are off the table too. That leaves Pep Pep, Taisho, Sensitiv, Baritones, and Lilis. I kiiiind know how you guys feel about Taisho, so. We could hit them hard first? But that one guy is gone.

[emotionalsupportghost]

I don't feel that angry with Taisho. Or any of them.

I think random is the best way to pick. We'll take too long deciding otherwise.

[aboyandhiscar]

Cool by me.

Aaaand Gold wants to play it safe with two in the first round, like you, yeah?

[emotionalsupportghost]

Yeah. But it's the three of you against the two of us, so I think three balloons wins for this round.

[aboyandhiscar]

[hmmmm]

Okay, but no matter what, I think we should go with your suggestion next round. S'only fair.

I'll ask the others to make sure.
