Rusty Alyce vs Rotten Belle question

[Caamora]

When Alyce rips the Belle and the Belle ignores the rip is the destruction of an attachment avoided as well.. we believe so but just wanted a clarification on timing.

Looking into this. Until we get back to you, play it however it makes sense to you or just flip a card.

Haha. No it is a good question and one we did miss! We're dealing with it now and we'll have an official answer for you soon

I'm thinking the flow goes like this:

Alyce attacks, causes a rip.
Belle has the option to ignore the rip by discarding a card.
If Belle chooses not to ignore the rip, Alyce has the option to tear apart an upgrade (or the puppet) by discarding a card.

This has a nice Alyce-->Belle-->Alyce flow that makes sense (to me, at least, haha).

This is how I interpret it as well. Alyce has to cause a Rip to be able to activate her Disassemble ability. At the "Cause a Rip"-stage Rotten Belle has the ability to negate that Rip, preventing the circumstances for Disassemble from ever existing in the first place.

Right?
