Capture the flag

Kino journal entry #423, Eli Wallace.

So, we were playing "Capture the flag" today. I know it sounds stupid, but every once in a while we just have to let ourselves off the leash and do something silly. Lord knows I need the exercise!

Anyway, so I was on a team with Brody, James, Becker, Morrison and Chloe. The other team was Volker, Lisa, Dale, Camile, Matt and Ginn. So I managed to snatch the flag (actually a pillowcase from one of the unused quarters) and I got this great idea of doing more of a kidnap than a capture, and James was taking offers for ransom from the other team. But I never knew Ginn could be so sneaky!

She broke into Brody's quarters and stole the mirror ball he'd been working on for our next dance night. Brody was furious and said he'd shoot her if he caught her with it, and anyway, they made a huge racket over the radio. Then Morrison, the old sourpuss, said that this was crossing over into a real war and he wasn't going to play anymore, and as soon as he walked off he got kidnapped by Dale, Lisa and Volker (I swear those three are always in cahoots over something). So both teams had hostages, and the rest of the crew just stood there and gaped.

And right about then Rush reported a power outage in the galley area and Becker yelped "Ice cream!" – He'd been making purple sweet potato ice cream for tomorrow. Well, everyone knew that, and there was this wild stampede to the galley, the Bridge, the nearest power relay station – any place where something could be fixed so the power would come back on.

And what do you know, before we knew it, Rush had taken the flag and spaced it, the little killjoy. I bet he started the power failure himself. Anyway, Ginn returned the mirror ball and she gave Brody a kiss on the cheek and he blushed all cutesy and stuff, and then the power came back on and we went back to work.

I still think my team won because at least we had the flag in our possession for a while!

Signing off,

Eli Wallace
