IA Day 8 - Head back

You go back, and soon it's time for the evening's event.

Apparently it's a... pillow fight? You listen to the explanation from Motoko, but you don't understand until you and your team go into the gymnasium, where it has been set up. A platform is suspended above a pit full of padded blocks. One player from each team goes onto the platform, so six players, and the last player still there wins... so you have to use a pillow to try to knock other people off the thing.

This is crazy...

You watch as your teammates go out, one by one, and fight the other teams with pillows handed to them by the production team. Apparently it helps your team in some way to win, something about video clips from yesterday and strategy...

Finally it's your turn. You take the pillow and gingerly run around the narrow bridge to the platform, unsure what to do. The other girls are there. A girl is coming at you! You swing your pillow and knock her off the platform! This is scary! Another girl is coming! You duck and run away!

But... the edge of the platform is right there. You stop before falling over and turn around, holding up your pillow defensively, but there's only one girl left on the platform with you. It's Riley!

She's just looking at you, trying not to laugh.

"You OK?" she asks.

You look around uncertainly. The cameras are all watching... the other girls are all yelling and cheering. It's chaos!

But it's just you and Riley on the platform right now.

Riley walks toward you. You have your pillow.

Knock her off?

or

Don't knock her off?
