About
What’s that sound? The rustle of rebellion? The whisper of war? Nay—it’s the glorious call… of pillows. A certain eccentric officer from history has commandeered a gallery and demands your presence for a most unusual skirmish. Orders will be shouted. Pillows will fly. Dignity may not survive. Do you have what it takes to survive five absurd minutes of feathery combat? Only one way to find out. Step lively, soldier—it’s time to enlist in the fluffiest fight history never recorded.
