Loved this as a draft, love it here. Cute, and charming as hell. +1.
While I do enjoy the extent (and futility) of David the balloon's escape attempts, the SCP is multiple balloons. What about the rest of the balloons? This feels to be a big plot hole. If the article focused on that one balloon from the get-go, it would be a non-issue. But do other sentient balloons feel the same way? Do they empathise their friend? Do they help David? Do they hate David?
Thus, I think the other balloons should also be accounted for in the article beyond broad mentions and definitions.
If you read the Incident Logs, you'll notice that ALL of SCP-2258 is participating in the escape, not just David. So obviously they all feel the same way. I'm glad you like the escape attempts!
My first SCP! Hope you guys like it! Huge thanks to (in no particular order) Scorpion451, Petrograd, psul, Comparing Realities, Decibelles, Communism will win, and everyone else who commented on the drafts in the forums.
I would have liked to see what these balloons sound like when they're despondent, but beyond that, I'm really into this. It's Fun with a capital F.
