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

Artie is looking just a touch emo. This could be because it's the last day of the workshop, or it could be because Mortimer still doesn't have his memory back. Either way.

"Welcome campers! I look forward to seeing what your Dada games are! Today this is your workshop! Tell us about your game!"

[ooc: short, uninspired, but up on time, weeee! I'm fully expecting most of these games to be made up on the spot.]

...

Tyler took a ball and bounced it against a tree. Then he realized that wasn't dad enough, so he started chanting nonsense syllables.

"Gala geetoo pryzik malrweeeeeee klafiddle...""

You get points," he said, after he had built up a rhythm. "Based on how long you can keep talking and bouncing the ball at the same time, and, um-"

Still stuck, he glanced to Artie for guidance.

"Is it a game with others or played by yourself?" Artie asked.

"It's a competition," Tyler said, still bouncing the ball. "The goal is to bounce your ball longer and be more creative in the chant. And the last person to laugh and drop the ball wins. Or something."

He looked hopefully at Artie.

"Intriguing! Like a staring contest with a tree! Excellent work, viking!"

"Thanks, Artie."

Relieved, Tyler caught the ball and went to sit down.

River began digging.

Jamie begins randomly pointing at people and different objects and making declarations.

"You win!"
"You lose!"
"Pudding!"
"King!"
"Banana Hammock!"

Artie could not have been prouder. "Very Dada indeed!" He pulled out a box from . . . somewhere and presented it to Jamie.

"I crown you King of Dada! May you reign in a time of peace! Wear your crown!"

Tim thinks the crown is one of the scariest things he has ever seen.

"LB, your mind is a scary, scary place."

Stark had done a little reading about children's games and had Dada-ed up Duck Duck Goose.

"You don't know what animal is it. Or if any animal is it. Or if more than one animal is it," he explained.

So he walked around everyone, tapping them on the shoulder while listing off animals.
"Sheep, cat, dragon, stickbug, squid, duck, dog, eel..."

When he got to Artie for the second time he yelled "Budong!" and ran.

Artie glanced about, surprised, then jumped up to run after Stark, a process which required bouncing about, bending over backwards, shouting various words, and then strolling nonchalantly.

Odds were good he didn't catch Stark.

"Nicely done!"

"Pirate tag." Tim said. He ran up to Kaylee, tagged her and cried "Yar it! Now you have to close one eye, and either use one hand as a hook, or not bend one leg and try to tag us ninjas."

Kaylee got into pirate mode and immediately started chasing the other students. She might have been giggling the whole time.

Kaylee set up some crates, bins and boxes for people to sit on, anything that wasn't an actual chair. They were set up in a circle. "I present Dada Musical Chairs! The loser in each round has to make up a their own crazy song in order to get back in the game."

She hoped it was Dada enough.

"Very good!"

Phoebe sat crosslegged on a picnic table. "I didn't create a game," she said with a smile. "Not doing it seemed very Dada."

~~That and her mun is short on brainpower this week.~~

Artie shrugged. "Okay, then!"

"My game is called Every Dada For Himself. It can be played on your own or with people and everyone involved makes up their own game and starts playing it as soon as they want to. Then they keep making up rules as they go along and the game turns into one giant mish-mashed piece of Dada."

"Ooooooooooo!"
