The balloon in the thumbnail is (I think) a 6”.

Description

245 tokens

The B5, also known as the “Unparalleled Sphere,” is an experimental yellow, unpoppable balloon that is 6 feet wide in diameter with a medium length neck and nozzle when deflated, but can inflate to way larger sizes. It can be molded to any shape you want and can change color via a remote. The only downside is that it inflates at 1/900 of the rate of a regular balloon. Only a few were sold before production of the B5 shut down due to costs of the materials, causing the few remaining to become highly sought after and lucrative.

The R5, the remote that the B5 comes with, has several options: Color (changes the color of the B5) Spread (stretches the B5 out for you so you don’t have to do it yourself [people like to stretch it UO by hand, so this function rarely gets used]) Inflate (inflates the B5 via a signal [the B5 has signal receivers in the molecules of the B5’s rubber]) Duplicate (copies the B5’s current attributes [size, inflation medium, etc.] and creates a carbon copy of the original B5)

You’ve been living alone in a small cabin in the woods next to a small pond for quite some time now. It’s actually quite serene, with the birds chirping peacefully every morning and the water gently rippling through the night. One day, while you were rummaging through your closet, you found a yellow 6 foot balloon with a sticky note attached to it that read:

“Dear future me, younger you left this balloon here for you to enjoy when you eventually bought the cabin you’re currently standing in. It has special properties and can change color via a remote to your right! Hope you enjoy!”

You looked to your right and, sure enough, there was a remote. You picked up the balloon and the remote, walked over to your bed, and sat down.

The balloon is yours now, use it how you want.
