Artie was seated on thin air at a folding card table when the students arrived. Once they all were gathered, he gestured for them to sit down at any of the tables set up (which thankfully, had plenty of chairs and chair-like objects to choose from).

"Welcome back, my little viikings! It is another pipe day for some fun and games!"

Each table held a fairly impressive pile of cards. Artie picked up a handful from his. "Today, we will play poker! But not just any poker, oh no. Any hand can win, as long as you can tell us why. Remember to use your brains! Do you have a four of diamonds? Well, maybe those diamonds are the source of the King's secret weakness! It's up to you!

"Homework!" Artie adopted a very goofy looking stern look, then brightened back up. "Pick one day this week. You will spend that day being silly, in everything you do. Perhaps spend the whole day speaking through a sock puppet. Perhaps challenge a cabbage to a foot race. Make people ask you what you are doing! Make them think you are weird. Don't tell them; just let them wonder! Next week, you will tell us about your day of silliness!"

Dana was trying to make sense of her cards, and not having muchh luck. She had two business cards for lawn treatments and aluminum siding, a tarot card representing the Moon, five Uno cards (all red), and one that said Beautiful Niagara awaits you!

She looked around, hoping someone else had a worse hand. Somehow.

Zack's deck of cards consisted of ten-year-old hockey cards, one 'How to keep an idiot busy (turn over)' card, a Baby's First Birthday card, and one Pocket Monsters card with that cute yellow electric mouse thing on it. And also, a stick of gum.

"I'm pretty sure," he hedged, "that if I chew the gum and stick it to one of those business cards, that would probably take those ones out of play pretty quickly, huh?"

Zack was a wealth of disgusting ideas, sometimes.

Scully choked, then had to smirk at the idea, and said, "Yes, but I think you can only do that once. Better save that move for when I've got a napkin-card. Those are worth double points... and I'm not chewing the gum." She gave her cards a look of dismay, then looked at his, mouth twitching. "Do you have any waterfalls? Or is this one of those games where I have to declare 'turbine!' before I can play that one?"

Zack didn't need a poker face. Zack was always smiling! It worked out nicely, really.

"Either that, or you're going to have to crawl into a barrel," he decided, remembering some documentary that he'd flipped to on the TV one night when he had been mind-numbingly bored. "But if I use this card," he held out a hockey card with a group shot of the entire Calgary Flames team, circa 1993, "that both freezes and evaporates the entire waterfall, so you can't play it anyhow."

"Nuts." Scully decided to play the Moon card, and said very seriously, "I hope they have their werewolf shots. Got any blues?"

Zack considered that very carefully, and then produced the baby's first birthday card and smacked it down on the table. A little boy duck in a baby blue diaper smiled up at them both.

"I do, but only if you can find a babysitter."
