Teamwork, Monday, Period 3
Class met on the school grounds today, where Jack had sectioned off four plots of grass shaped like small landing strips and scattered with frisbee-size silver hoops.
"So today," she said, "We're going to work on trust by playing minesweeper. Way it works is, you guys pair off. Then one on each team, the minewalker, goes into a field while the other, the guardian, stands outside the rope and shouts instructions on how to get across without stepping on those silver frisbee things. Those are mines. Once the first person is across, they leave the area and take the place of the guardian.
She smirked. "Simple, right? Except there are two catches. First, the minewalker is blindfolded. Second, the mindwalker can't talk. So before anybody goes onto the field, you should take a minute and figure out your strategy for communicating. Winner is the first team to get both people across without setting off the mines."

"That good?" she asked with an awkward swing of her arms. This was going to be a weird class period. "Just point me in the direction to start in. Gosh, I sure hope I don't fake-die."

And after taking a moment to get her bearings, Gert set off in that direction. Slowly. This would be a lot easier if she wasn't feeling so awkwardly physical today.
Also, if she were allowed to talk while she did this. Because snark made everything easier. Trufax.

She stepped over a twig (okay, she was totally cheating by peeking under the blindfold, so sue her) and waited for Cade's next instruction, now only a few steps left to go until the finish line.
Re: Minesweeping
Beat.
"It's for science."
Re: Minesweeping
Like Cade knew anything about science.
She took another step forward, narrowly avoiding one of the 'mines,' then called, "That it? Are we done?"
Because celebrations would be good. You know. Maybe.

Re: Minesweeping
That came out weird. Gert made a face. That was what she got for never paying attention to pick-up lines.
Re: Minesweeping
Like...most of the time he was late.
"I know a place."
