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?"

"That Is All Right," Gladys told him. "You Were A Good Stopper."

"But did I win?"

Because that's all that's important to Worf.

Gladys considered the rules as she knew them. "You Did Not Lose," she finally said. "I Do Not Know If You Won."

"Then it is a draw," Worf declared. "Now we must have sudden death."

And Worf is not only making up his own rules but he might be serious.

"No We Will Not. I Am Not Permitted To Harm A Person Or Allow Them To Come To Harm," she intoned. "And Death Is A Harm."

Klingons don't typically sulk.

Instead Worf let out a loud huff and did something that was almost a pout but not quite.

"Fine."
