Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker
a lot of people talk about @fialleril‘s Tatooine Slave Culture
and I’ve read some really good stories and poems and songs.
But I feel like we’re all missing a large part of any culture, that which is the foundation for all the stories and rituals and prayers of any group of people.
We’re missing the children.
what are nursery rhymes but stories told by children? what are games but rituals performed by children?

Red Bird
Red bird, red bird, Come and play Depur’s at market for the rest of the day Take a friend to hide while we all pray Then red bird, red bird, fly away

Its a combination of tag, hide and seek, and duck duck goose
Everyone stands in a circle (holding hands or hand clapping is optional)
One child is “depur at market” who walks inside the circle and is only allowed to look at the person in front of them, as if examining the slaves being sold
Another child is Ekkreth, the red bird, and their job is to sneak around and “steal” a child out of the circle and hide them without “Depur” noticing
If “Depur” sees “Ekkreth”, then Depur must chase Ekkreth around the outside of the circle, attempting to tag Ekkreth. If Ekkreth makes it into an empty space from one of the “escaped slaves” then they’re safe, and Depur goes back to walking the circle.
If Depur tags Ekkreth before Ekkreth can make it back into the circle, Ekkreth must go into the middle of the circle where they are now “caged”
Once Ekkreth is caged, Depur goes around and finds as many escaped slaves as they can. Meanwhile, any escaped slaves can sneak up and “free” Ekkreth by tapping them on the head.
If Depur can find all the escaped slaves before Ekkreth can be freed, they win and are now Ekkreth.
If Ekkreth can free all the slaves without being caught, they win.
If Ekkreth is caught, but Depur cannot find the last slave, that slave wins, and they become Ekkreth.
