Childhood Games, Class #2, Thursday period 1

[slapbetcommish.livejournal.com]

The class met out by the main campfire today, where Lily looked much happier being in the actual outdoors. "Hi, guys. You all came back!" she said, quickly doing a headcount to make sure that was true. "Today we're getting a little more active than last week and playing a game called Red Light, Green Light. Um, okay, in case you've never been in a car, you can only drive at streetlights when the light turns green, and you have to stop when it turns red. Same thing here, only minus the cars. That's another class.

"The first person will stand here," she said, standing next to the unlit campfire and turning her back, "so you can't see what everyone's doing. Everyone else stands where you guys are now, and when I say 'green light', you all run towards me. When I say 'red light' you all have to stop where you are or you're out and have to sit over there." She pointed to the spot she'd designated Time Out. Shush, old habits died hard. "The first person to reach the campfire wins, and you go on to the next round. Pretty easy, right? Any questions?

"Okay," she said, once any had been answered. "Who wants to go first?"

Or just talk. Whatever.

Gladys watched out of glowing eyes, understanding the rules, if not the purpose behind them.

Amber listened, but really, who hasn't played this game?

Eh, guess those people from other worlds or something. Hm.

Viki could really see why a green light meant run, and a red light meant stop but she supposed that didn't really matter because nobody else seemed to think in mattered and, really, very little ever mattered once you got right down to it.

Red Light, Green Light

First person to ping in is the one turning their back. Everyone racing to the finish pings off them. Like so (http://slapbetcommish.livejournal.com/1878.html).

Anyone else who wants to go can add their own subthread under here for another round. Add as many subthreads as you'd like.

Gladys dutifully stood by the campfire with her back turned. "Green Light," she intoned after a few moments.

Amber started running!

Re: Red Light, Green Light

"Red Light," Gladys rumbled, turning around. "You Must Stop."

The spirit of competition overwhelmed Worf.

Yes it was a child's game. He really didn't care.

He ran at full steam towards Gladys.

Re: Red Light, Green Light

"Red Light," Gladys intoned, eyes flaring as she turned. "That Means You Must Stop."

Viki did not really understand, and wondered where the lights were that the stone-lady could seem to see and none of the rest of them could...

Oh... she was supposed to be running right?

Viki nearly tripped over her feet as she started to move. Where was the light?

Alex started running toward Gladys.

"Aaaaaand...." Turtle paused dramatically before turning away from her fellow campers. "GREEN LIGHT!"

Lion-o got the concept that green means go. He hadn't yet figured out that it was a race, so he slowly made his way towards the campfire.

Oh good, athletic games. Because Francine was so good at walking and chewing gum those.

Still, she darted a quick look at Turtle, then started running.

Worf snarled and ran towards Turtle with a scary look on his face.

At the word 'green light' Sora sprinted towards Turtle.

Talk to Lily

[slapbetcommish.livejournal.com]

She's aroooooooooound.

OOC

Okay I think the examples will have to stay, since it's easier than explaining and it's more fun than it has any right to be.

Re: OOC

[wanna-be-lucas.livejournal.com]

Your examples are cracktastic.
