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?"

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?

Gladys said, "Red Light," and added, "That Means Stop." Helpful, were the golems.

[I have to sleep now!]

They really were helpful! Especially when it was someone like Viki.

She stumbled to a stop, and chirped, "Thank you!"

This game was going over Viki's head, yes.

[Sleep well!]

"You Are Welcome," she replied, eyes flickering. "Green Light Which Mean You Run Again."
