Paper

Alex didn't think going paper three times in a row was a good idea, so picked it purely for that reason.

She then realised she had no way of telling if she had won the round or not.

The ringmaster thankfully filled her in. "Ooh. Paper beats rock. Could this be a comeback on our hands?"

"Hardly," Aisha scoffed. She grabbed a third coil of rope and wrapped it round her thighs. The ringmaster was more chatty than he had been, telling the audience what Aisha was putting on. She guessed it was for her benefit.

Alex did think that Aisha was terribly boring for just picking a whole lot of rope.
