Get the rules first

“I’m not sure…” you said hesitantly, “The rules seem rather vague. I assume that there some limits on what the winner can have the losers have to do.”

“Of course,” Larry answered, “Nothing illegal.”

“Except perhaps public nudity.” Cindy cooed.

“And nothing permanent.” Larry continued.

“Hair grows back,” Cindy smirked, “So it is fair game.” Her fingers made a cutting motion. You snorted in response. You had no doubt that Cindy’s taunts were aimed more at Anne than you. Considering how little cloth there had been in some of the bikinis you’ve worn at the beach, you weren’t exactly concerned about guys seeing your equipment. You also had no doubt that any hair that got cut would not be on top of the head.

“What about the game itself?” you asked.

“Everyone must remain in the public areas of campus.” Cindy explained. “You can’t hide in the dorms or teachers’ offices.”

“It also means that hiding places must be accessible to the general public.” Larry added, “The kitchens and most of the labs are off limits.”

“That also means you can’t go into a classroom and lock the door.” Anne put in.

“Finally, the library is out of bounds.” Cindy continued. You weren’t sure why Cindy insisted on excluding the Library, but it made no real difference.

“Who’s it?” you prompted.

“I say Larry.” Cindy answered, “He lost the last game.”

“I say we draw straws.” Larry countered.

“Do you have straws?” you asked. Larry shook his head. “Cards? Dice?” Again Larry shook his head.

“How about Rock, Paper, Scissors?” Anne suggested. There was no objection.

“We go until there’s a clear winner or loser.” Cindy explained, “If you lose you’re it. If you win, you get to choose who’s it.” Everyone stuck out their hands; fist on palm. One… Two… Three… Everyone displays their choice of rock, paper, or scissors.
