TIME AT THE EDGE — Week 2 (Blade Runner TTRPG)

Mara & Chibi — Unfair Rules

Chibi is hopping across the floor, avoiding the cracks.

Chibi:
Cracks are traps.

Mara:
They’re just lines.

Chibi:
That’s what traps want you to think.

Mara keeps sorting crayons. Blue next to blue. Yellow next to yellow.

Mara:
You skipped red.

Chibi:
Red takes too long.

He hops over it.

Mara:
It’s the same floor.

Chibi:
Not if you wait.

Mara looks up.

Mara:
Wait for what?

Chibi:
For it to get boring.

Outside, a siren passes and doesn’t stop.

Chibi:
Adults are bad at games.

Mara:
Why?

Chibi:
They change the rules when they’re losing.

Mara thinks about that.

Mara:
Sometimes they don’t know they’re playing.

Chibi stops hopping.

Chibi:
That’s worse.

He sits down hard.

Chibi:
Yesterday took forever.

Mara:
It did.

Chibi:
Today is going too fast.

Mara:
It is.

Chibi presses a crayon hard against the floor.

Chibi:
Time cheats.

Mara gently takes the crayon.

Mara:
Time doesn’t cheat.

Chibi:
Then who does?

Mara hesitates.

Mara:
People do.

Chibi blinks, then grins.

Chibi:
I knew it.

He lies down and stares at the ceiling.

Chibi:
So when adults say “wait,” they mean “you don’t get to play.”

Mara:
Sometimes.

Chibi:
And when they say “hurry up”…

Mara:
They mean “you don’t get to think.”

Chibi nods.

Chibi:
Those are bad rules.

Mara:
Yes.

A quiet moment.

Chibi:
Can we make our own?

Mara smiles.

Mara:
We already do.

Midnight passes somewhere else.

Inside, the game changes.
