Viva the La Resistance!

Welcome to Oppression City, a happy, fun-filled, sunshiny place =)

At least, that's how it was before THE REVOLUTION.

Now the only sounds are the hope-crushing thuds of propellable objects hitting the ground.
Occasionally, some brave soul will try to have fun, but they are quickly caught and arrested by the Ministry of Not-Juggling police, who paradoxically use juggling to strike fear into the hearts of the populace.
Every day, the people of Oppression City come to the telescreen to yell epithets and curses at the Jugglemaster.

The police notice a certain Mr. Daniel Wright is not adequately expressing his hate. He is instructed to report to the Ministry at 4 AM.

Terrified she'll never see him again, Daniel's girlfriend Emma gives him a locket as a token of her affection.

The next morning at the Ministry, Daniel takes the "Why Juggling Ruins Everything" tour.



He is accepted into the citizen "Snoop Squad," a job he thoroughly enjoys until he comes across someone familiar:

Right after Emma's arrest, Daniel encounters a mysterious figure who quickly whips him back into shape.

"Zat French guy" brings Daniel to join the La Resistance, a small but visionary group dedicated to overthrowing the Ministry's dictatorship.



Filled with anger at Emma's arrest and his own brainwashing, Daniel leads a night protest:





The Ministry catches on, however, and raids a La Resistance rally. Fortunately, all the leaders except Daniel escape, but look who's leading the raid...
The locket? It was really a homing device.

Trying to make him reveal the whereabouts of the rest of the La Resistance, Emma introduces Daniel to the Ministry's most elite force: the J-team!



Despite training in a 100G chamber, however, they are ill-equipped to handle the ingenuity of the people, who have begun to hope again...



The rest of the La Resistance decides to boldly rescue Daniel, leading to a pitched battle that will determine the fate of Oppression City:



Hey you. Yeah, I mean you. Don't just let the Ministry take over our lives! Join the La Resistance!
