CloudYAY was... certainly a team, that's for sure.
The Team Swap had left the Battle for Dream Island: The Power of Two in quite the mess, reorganizing the teams of old basically at random. *Allegedly*, anyway. From their perspective, they were in one team, they blinked, then they were in a completely different one. That's *fine*. They've been through worse, they've survived, and they will certainly manage to survive this one as well. But for quite a few contestants still in the running, that conclusion just didn't quite sit right with them. Golf Ball had ran all the numbers, did the calculations in her head, and it *just* didn't seem right. The remaining contestants could've been shuffled about in a *ridiculous* number of ways, and out of those, only a rather small fraction managed to keep an entire team, *all* of their members, still on the same boat after the proverbial tempest. As astronomical as the odds had seemed, however, it appeared like they were able to hit the jackpot: Death P.A.C.T., through some miracle, some fluke in the universe, managed to stay completely intact. Not only that, but they also gained a few new members as well. That in and of itself shouldn't be something to raise eyebrows about; again, though it was only a rather small chance of it occurring, there was *still* a chance. Roll a dice enough times, and it'll *eventually* land on all sides; it just so happened that 'enough' in this instance happened to be just once. Given that it's been billions of years since the universe first came to be (according to what she's read, anyway), it shouldn't be too out of the ordinary that quite a number of incredibly improbable events have happened. The universe already has a track record of that, after all; signs point to them being alive to witness this fluke also being a fluke as well. If it were *really* that simple, if it were that intuitive, Golf Ball would have laid it to rest right then and there. She had other, far *greater* things to keep in mind than some silly statistics. Like the fact that everyone on her team apparently hated her guts. *Why*, exactly? All she ever wanted was the best for them, what was *ultimately* the best, regardless of how sour it may seem at first taste. And yet they wouldn't even give her a chance, not even *one*! Sure, there were times where they finally caved in and listened, but that was only *after* they had failed horrifically under the weight of their own actions. Never, *never*, would they approach her, the genius with everything all planned out, as their first option. It just made too much sense, and if the Battle for Dream Island was *one* thing, it was the exact opposite of being sensical. ...*Not* sensical. Over a decade of terrible decisions have led them, led *her*, up to this point. Absolutely none of this would've happened if everyone (present company excluded, of course) had even a single brain cell to share between all of them. GB would've given *everything* to live in such a world, a world where people actually thought critically and logically, and worked only to make the world a better place. But no, she had to live in this terrible, awful, horrible place. Probability doesn't care whether or not it has inadvertently kept a team together during a reshuffling, and it doesn't care whether or not it dropped someone 'undeserving' of such pain and misery into a world that only served such horror.
Oh, right. Again, Golf Ball wouldn't have given much thought and attention to the results of the Team Swap if the only irregularity was the whole Death P.A.C.T. thing. But, sure enough, it wasn't. Did Two *not* leave the task of rearranging the teams to them, the contestants of the Battle for Dream Island: The Power of Two? Did she not hear them correctly when that fateful event occurred? Surely not, right? GB prided herself (in a humble and kind manner, of course) on a lot of things, her superb senses of observation included. You kind of *have* to have these things when you're a scientist, of course. Besides her near-perfect eyesight and her intuition, she was able to distinguish even the most subtle sounds. She transcribed everything near-perfectly in her head, creating a script she could pull up at any time to recall any details she might've missed. Looking back at it... No. Indeed, the algebralian did leave them to swap the teams all on their own. Those were their words; phrased a bit differently, but the general gist is still understood. The Team Swap was supposed to be *their* job. And yet, instead, the shuffling of the teams was instead done by this... unknown... sudden... *event*. She didn't even know what to call it. As much as she wanted to say that she had a grasp on things (despite her lack of arms), she was just as puzzled as the rest of them. Her perspective was the same as all the others: she was on one team, then on the very next she was on another. That's it. That's all the details she was afforded. And that's all the details she will probably *ever* have, since, again, CloudYAY seems to be a team that's intent on running straight towards their demise, regardless of whether or not it was good for them. Which it *wasn't* of course. But that mutual hatred meant that she had much, *much* more time in-between episodes to think things through, to put the few puzzle pieces she had together, to try and get *some* sense of order and cohesion out of what was going on. What *really* went down during the Team Swap? What, or *who*, was to blame for the way things are now? Does it have anything to do with all the contestants disappearing as of late? Was this somehow linked to what happened to Bell and Bomby, to Barf Bag and
