BAD FIREWORKS
*** After a slow, exaggerated and labored effort, the FOOL has climbed all the way to the top tire. Once at the top, he steadies himself for a moment. He reluctantly releases his grip from the chains, then grabs on again. After another moment he lifts his arms up in victory then falls backwards, headfirst through the center. After the fall, the top of the FOOL’s head appears to open, still sitting he pulls handkerchief after handkerchief (all of them red) from the top of his head, after he runs out of handkerchiefs he gets up again, slightly dazed, staggering.

In Red Serpent Rising, the growing youth wage war against all corporations once they discover the top corporations are all secretly one, however leaders within the new movement are criticized for being shitty people. (Even the youth in the military rebel against their elder superiors.) The youth wage war in various ways: through bombing unpeopled construction sights, diverting water supplies and disruptive play.
