Childhood Games, Class #6, Thursday period 1

[slapbetcommish.livejournal.com]

Lily had handwavily sent out an E-mail to her class telling them to meet in the Danger Shop today, which was set up to look pretty much exactly like your standard dorm floor. "Welcome back, and I'm really glad radio warns me about things like the fact that half my class might be an animal," she greeted them. "Today, we're going to play hide and seek.

"For those of you poor deprived people, one person's It. That person closes their eyes and counts to one hundred, and everyone else hides somewhere. This place is set up just like the dorms, so you can hide anywhere in here. At one hundred, the person who's It yells 'ready or not, here I come' and goes looking for everyone. The first person to get found is It for the next round then. Simple, right? Okay. Have fun!"

"... I don't know," Jeff said, getting his back straight. "She could be a turtle here on a regular basis and have failed to tell me. I'm not saying she's a liar, but it could be possible." What was he talking about now?

And now Lily was back to wondering about the drugs. "What?"

What, Jeffrey? Why would she be a turtle? Stop talking. Just stop talking and leave-- "It's these childhood games, isn't it?" Jeff replied, making a big gesture that was supposed to indicate... um, something. "With all these children running about, it might be useful to be able to turn into a turtle." Pause. "Or a rock."

"...I think it'd be really hard to play Duck Duck Goose that way."

"It depends," Jeff said, scraping the bottom of the barrel, "On whether one of them has a beak." He had to get out of here. Just say goodbye and leave in a normal fashion. Like a normal person.

He raised his hand.

Unsure of what he was doing, Lily raised a hand back. Did he want a high five?

"...Oh, I'm sorry," Jeff managed, failing to lower his hand, "I didn't realise you had to go to the bathroom, too." What?

...Wow. "It's after class, you don't have to raise your hand or ask permission for that sort of thing. You just, you know, can't do it here."

"Oh," Jeff said, laughed nervously, and added, "Thanks!" before he turned on his heel and fled the room like a fleeing thing without another word.
