Applied Dadaism: Fun and Games (Main campfire, Friday morning)

[superartie]

Artie was seated on thin air at a folding card table when the campers arrived. Once they all were gathered, he gestured for them to sit down at any of the three tables set up (they, at least, had actual chairs).

"Welcome back, campers! I hope you all have had a pipe weekend! I know I have! Today we are going to continue with our Dada games. I hope all of you have been thinking of some rules for your own games that you will present at the end of the session!"

He bounded to his feet. "But first! Introduce yourselves again! Only this time, use a Dada name. For example, today I will be Squeeeeeeebadadoopboing!"

Once the introductions were done with, Artie laid out some cards on the tables. "Today, we will play poker! But not just any poker, oh no, Dada poker. Dada poker is like Dada rock, paper, scissors. Any hand can win, as long as you can tell us why. Be creative! If you have three clubs, maybe your three clubs can bludgeon your opponents three kings! It's up to you.

"For next time, I have an assignment for you. Pick one day this week. You will spend that day being Dada, in everything you do. Perhaps spend the whole day saying nothing but the word 'dreeble'. Perhaps try to wrestle a slab of bacon. 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 Dada day!"

[ooc: yeah, shorter than last time. Just be glad I'm not making you sit through Artie reciting phonetic poetry. Waaaaaaaait for the OCD, friends! Got any knaves? No? Okay, how about twos? Go fish!]

Phoebe does show up to Dada, although she really looks like she shouldn't be out of bed. She is pale and there are shadows under her eyes. She does try to be cheerful though.

"MrowrBaDoomBoom."

"Goodness, little Viking! Are you alright?"

Tyler has fashioned a t-shirt into a sling for Popeye the gnome, who is peering out at the world from it like a content, bearded baby.

"I am Cornelius Manischewitz Huchtuti Babaghanouj," he declared.

Re: Sign In/Introduction

[superartie]

"Ah!" Artie struck a cheerful pose. "A pleasure to meet you, Cornelius Manischewitz Huchtuti Babaghanouj! And who is your little friend?"

Kaylee is kinda proud of her weird, silly name. "I'm Badagleewoo."

Re: Sign In/Introduction

[superartie]

"And a lovely name you have, Badagleewoo!"

Walter was sort of stuck. This was virtually the antithesis of butlering.

"I am... dammit, Jamie already took Joojoosquee. I am Fishgrenade."

Re: Sign In/Introduction

[superartie]

Artie actually made a face like he thought Walter was strange. "Okay, Fishgrenade. . . ."

"I'm Werwornurfurehehehe." River had no idea where that came from.

Re: Sign In/Introduction

[superartie]

"A delightful name, Werwornurfurehehehe!"

"Dnomsed Yhtomit." That hadn't been easy to pronounce.

Marie looks at the instructor, but sighs and says, "Hi, I'm Dimethyl Glutarate."

[and zomg I am handwaving the poker playing cause no creativity, sorry!]

Stark's been told his real name is odd as it is. He makes an attempt anyway.

"I'm... Fahrbot McCrazyson," he said finally, then wondered where he'd come up with that.

Dada poker!

[superartie]

I'm too lazy to group you guys together! Pick a table! Pick your cards!

These are Dada decks, and thus, along with normal playing cards, there are novelty cards, Chez Geek cards, Tarot cards, business cards, flash cards, whatever the heck kind of cards you want. Mod away.

Artie may join one of the tables and play with you.

Jamie sits down and takes a look at his hand.

King of Hearts
10 of Clubs
The Heirophant
A business card for Aluminum siding
And a birthday card with a cartoon dog on it.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe sits down and stares at her cards.

The Empress
Ace of Hearts
Queen of Wands
A Nookie card
A card with a Jaguar on it

Walter sat down to play Dada solitaire with himself.

That involved waiting for someone else to play it with.

His cards included a French postcard he was fairly certain he'd once seen in Arthur's collection, a two of hearts, a novelty card of a man being pushed into a lake by a goat, a card with a goldfish on it, and the two of pentacles.

Ooh, a pair.

Re: Dada poker!

River looked at her cards:

A model spaceship collector card
A get better soon-card
Ace of hearts
Ace of hearts (!)
Ace of hearts (!!)

Miscellaneous chatter

For those who just kinda have to talk

OOC

Should I bother declaring this an italics free zone? Or will you ruin it again? *glares at Jamie*

I'll tag Marie in eventually. I just don't think I have the mental capacity to think and be creative right now.
