How Do We Win?

You say ONE TWO THREE and then make a rock or paper or scissors. If yours can destroy the other person's, you're the winner, says Terence.

How do we make rocks, papers and scissors? asks Jean-Botanist.

Like this, says Terence, showing them with his fingers.

And how do we win? asks Carl-Botanist.

No one knows, says Terence. Are you ready?

The botanists are ready.

ONE TWO THREE... do it! says Terence.

Jean-Botanist and Carl-Botanist both make paper.

Or so it would seem.

You both made paper, says Terence.

 I was making scissors, says Carl-Botanist.

Then you win, says Terence.

How was that scissors? asks Jean-Botanist. 

Eight arms, four pairs of scissors, says Carl-Botanist.

Or one sheet of paper, says Jean-Botanist. Maybe I was making four pairs of scissors.

Then no one wins, says Terence. Were you making four pairs of scissors?

Yes, says Jean-Botanist.

He's cheating, says Carl-Botanist.

So are you, says Jean-Botanist.

Okay, says Terence. We won't do Rock Paper Scissors. I'll just decide.

Go on then, says Jean-Botanist. Don't forget it's my Nachoo.

You're only the captain, says Terence. It's my Nachoo.

I'm also the captain, says Carl-Botanist.

No you're the botomist, says Terence.

Carl-Botanist shuts up. There is no point in arguing with Terence.

Gaius returns with the Nachoo and the croissant packet. The one without holes.

Who's going in what? asks Gaius.

Carl-Botanist in the Nachoo, says Terence.

Jean-Botanist looks mad.
