Charles was the first to bring up an idea. "Since we're going for something that all of us can have a chance at winning, something we're all familiar with... how about a quick game of chess? It'll be fun."
"No!" The protest was unified. Even Eli, who enjoyed a good game of chess, shook his head.
"You goddamn cheat," he said. "You might as well just say 'Adrian, pick me.'."
Adrian laughed, raising a hand to calm the room. "I haven't told you about this one before, but it's a simple game, and it's called... Rock, Paper, Scissors."
He demonstrated the three hand signs. "Rock crushes Scissors. Scissors cut Paper. Paper covers Rock. Very simple."
Damien frowned. "Paper covers Rock? That's impossible! A rock would tear right through paper! Who invented this nonsense?"
"Just play, Damien," Adrian said with a grin. "We'll do a tournament bracket. Single elimination. And the use of any form of magic or foresight is forbidden."
