It was an extraordinarily gorgeous day even for fake New New York. The Master and Doctor had taken over a corner of Central Park to try to gather together cricket teams, from visitors or natives, whoever knew or was willing to learn the basic rules and play. Captaining opposing teams, of course. The easy banter back and forth indicated high, good spirits.

	"They are," he agreed. "And if they're following all of them, I'd be very surprised. They're just playing for fun. Not that they're not keeping score." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"What would be the fun if they didn't keep score?" he teased, a bit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He grinned. "Exactly. But they don't have to follow all the rules, either." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Clearly the humans who made up cricket see some fun in rules," he pointed out, wryly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He laughed. "They're British," he said, like that explained it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That means?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"They like lists. And tradition. Which means once the rules are made, they tend to stick." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That sounds familiar." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Doesn't it? They're not much for non-interference, though." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thedeathless 2009-05-14 02:43 pm UTC (link)
	He thought for a moment. "Who do they interfere with? Do they have rules for that?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lastimelord 2009-05-14 02:46 pm UTC (link)
	"Rules, debates, arguments, committees, you name it. Which. Is also kind of familiar. Only they don't live as long, so there's a limit to how long something can be in committee. Well, probably." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Are all humans like that, is it something specific to their culture? There's a lot of variety in human culture, isn't there?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lastimelord 2009-05-14 03:14 pm UTC (link)
	"A lot of variety," he agreed. "Their societies are structured in a lot of different ways." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Are most species aside from ours that diverse?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Not generally. Oddly enough. Of course, humans are the exceptions to a lot of things," he said, fondly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Is that why you like them so much?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That's one of the reasons," he agreed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Sometimes they don't like you?" This idea seemed to perturb him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
