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

[superartie]

Artie was nowhere in sight.

There was, however, a note on one of the tables:

Greetings, campers! I hope everyone has had a very pipe week and that you are all thinking about the games you will present for your final project!

Today we are going to play hide and seek! But it is Dada hide and seek. I think by now you know what that means!

I have been practicing all week for today's game. I have gotten so good at it that I haven't been able to find myself yet. Please be careful. This could happen to you.

Go forth! And hide! And seek the others who are hidden! Have fun! I will see you next week, assuming I can find myself by then!

It was signed

Artie! The strongest man . . . in the world!

Yes, he even wrote in italics.

[ooc: I'm still at the beach. Artie will find himself eventually, or some special, lucky person may be able to find him when I get home. We'll see. Thanks to walter_n_wires for the class idea!]

"Of course!" Marie declared, shaking imaginary pompoms at him. "We've been practicing really hard."

"Then do a cheer for me," Jamie said putting his hand on his chin. "I'm having some serious pre-game jitters. A cheer from you should be just what I need."

Marie wished she had her pom-poms, but stood up straight and chanted:

Be aggressive!
B-E aggressive!
B-E A-G-G-R-E-S-S-I-V-E!

Complete with appropriate cheering movements and a jump at the end.

Jamie didn't spend the entire cheer ogling Marie.

Really.

"That was good. I think I need one more cheer though to chase away those jitters."

Marie was too into the cheer to notice Jamie ogling her.

So of course she gladly launched into another cheer at his request.

Dribble, pass, shoot, SCORE!
Wait, there's just a little more!
Defense, Offense, we have no doubt!
That's what we are all about!
GO Gremlins!

"See? With cheers like that? I really only need to read the articles," Jamie said waving to the magazine.

Re: Go Seek!

And that would be Marie's cue to start blushing.

"Well, I hope they work tomorrow," she stammered.

"Well I can watch you cheer and after the game maybe we can chat and I'll tell you how well you did," Jamie suggested.

Re: Go Seek!

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

Yep, still blushing.

"Shouldn't you be paying attention to the game tomorrow?" Marie asked.

Re: Go Seek!

"Did you forget who you are talking to?" Jamie asked in a light tone. "I can have an extra me taking notes in the stands."

Re: Go Seek!

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

"Oh yeah," Marie remembered. "You totally don't have to do that though, okay?"

Re: Go Seek!

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Why not? You're supporting me with the cheering? I can at least return the favor and support you by having another me in the stands," Jamie said with a shrug.

Re: Go Seek!

Marie realized it would be futile to argue the point any further, so she merely shrugged.

"Have you ever played basketball before?"

Re: Go Seek!

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Not really. I completely suck. I can only do layups. If I try to do a freethrow I mess up."

Re: Go Seek!

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

"I bet you're better than you think," Marie said confidently.

Re: Go Seek!

"Yeah," Jamie said rolling his eyes. "Let's just wait until tomorrow, shall we?"
