BARiTONES

[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.

The balloons and bright colors aren't improving your mood any?

[Ignoring that. She likes high places, she just doesn't like falling to her death on spikes from high places.]

Make any friends that might decide they don't want us dead?

Safe for now, at the very least!

[Let's out a shuddering breath and crosses her arms to tuck her hands against her sides to hide that they're shaking.]

. . .If we lose three more, we're dead.

Re: Discussion

[innerdaemons]

I'm aware. But at this point there's little we can do to control other people's decisions, and it'd be best that we focus on what we can do to protect ourselves -- no?

Re: Discussion

[purrrnicious]

[Gives a small laugh that's 2 parts nervous and 1 part hysterical.]

At least they can't hit us over and over?

Now even I'm surprised.

Re: Discussion

[SO MUCH TAIL LASHING]

Is there even a way we can survive this?

Re: Discussion

[innerdaemons]

I doubt it, but it seems our inevitable end has been delayed ... well, until the end.

Re: Discussion

[Flatly:]

Maybe it would've been better if we hadn't dragged it out.

[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: 7
