[Edward has obtained one (1) chessboard, complete with chess pieces. She's got them set up, and is sitting behind the white pieces. She's made a move, and just waits. She's very obviously second level, and it's rather clear she's silently inviting anyone who wants to play chess with her.

...but be warned, Edward is one hell of a chess player.]








((OOC: Chess time with Edward! Since I personally am terrible at chess, I propose the following: we pre-determine the winner, and then just hold the conversation or whatever, we don't have to document the moves. Or, if your character doesn't like chess, feel free to suggest another game or just have a conversation!))

[... ?]

Can I play?

[timeforjam.livejournal.com]

[HI!]

Sure! [Gestures to board] Your turn!

[humallelujah.livejournal.com]

[He sits down and thinks for a moment, and moves a pawn.]

[timeforjam.livejournal.com]

[La la moving a piece, probably a pawn because it's the beginning of the game.]

[humallelujah.livejournal.com]

[La la la moves another pawn.]

Do you do this often? Play chess, I mean.

[timeforjam.livejournal.com]

[More moves, la la la... kind of strange moves, but whatever...]

Not really. Would like to play more, though.

[humallelujah.livejournal.com]

[Hmm... makes a few more moves. Making a good effort.]

We have a chess set on the ship with magnetic pieces. Every so often someone will play a game with me. But not very often.

[timeforjam.livejournal.com]

[A very good effort it is! But. You know. Edward. More moves whoop-de-doo!]

Oooh, magnets. Ed played once against a guy in another country.

[humallelujah.livejournal.com]

So they don't float away.

[A few more moves. More of the standard, textbook kind, but with a few variations thrown in.]

Over the internet?

[timeforjam.livejournal.com]

Ooooh. Do you live in space?

[And more strange moves, but they're closing in on something...]

Yup yup! He was really really good, but Ed almost beat him.

[humallelujah.livejournal.com]

Most of the time. I've gotten used to the gravity here, but before I came here I'd never spent this much time on the ground.

[Uh oh. What can he do? Makes some moves to try to protect the pieces he has left.]

Huh. Wow.

[timeforjam.livejournal.com]

Cooool.

[Doo-de-doo la la la oh my it's getting to the end now, isn't it.]

[humallelujah.livejournal.com]

[... Omai. Trapped like a rat. Do not want. Making some desperate moves...]

[timeforjam.livejournal.com]

[Sorry, Alle, that's not going to work. One last move and...]

Checkmate!

[humallelujah.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, thought so. =/ He smiles anyway.]

That was a good match.

[timeforjam.livejournal.com]

Yeah, good job!

[Grin grin and sweeps the pieces off the board.]

[humallelujah.livejournal.com]

That was fun. Maybe I should get a set for myself.

[timeforjam.livejournal.com]

Should! Lots of fun.
