[ Although the other day was far from as traumatic as the last inmate influx, it left Reid a little pensive. Made him think of extreme aggressors, of 50 000 chess games, of expecting different outcomes in a game that would only end with check mate, but unlike a few years ago this is not a depressive thought. Instead, it makes him crave interaction and so he hits up the network. ]

Hey, guys. I was wondering... there's quite a few of us here that know how to play chess. How would you feel about an impromptu tournament? Nothing fancy, just... I don't know, anyone who's interested could drop by the library and we'll set up a few games. Bring a board, if you got one.

[ A bit of an awkward smile and then he cuts the feed. ]

(( OOC: MINGLE-STYLE! Email notifs are off, so thread to your hearts content! Reid will have a video response thread here and an action response thread here for your Reid-y needs! ))

	[ With the meeting with Gideon still fresh on his mind Reid will spend a large portion of the day in the library, playing against himself unless someone approaches. The moves are quick and decisive, but he's far from difficult to approach on this fine day. Dare you challenge him? ] (Reply to this) (Thread)

	[Calliope takes a seat across from him, every bit of her covered except her eyes (and, of course, the dark green skin around them.] [Hands daintily on the table, she clears her throat politely.] Excuse me. May I...? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He looks up as she sits down, a flash of surprise at her appearance crossing his face but disappearing just as quickly. He smiles with a faint sense of familiarity before nodding at the board. ] Of course. White or black? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She sees it, and doesn't flinch. It's to be expected. Even if she's tempted to avoid eye contact for the rest of the match, she keeps herself steady.] [She certainly won't miss a beat when he asks his question.] White, if you please. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He's been around mutants a long time now. Unusual appearances still surprise him from time to time, but it passes just as quickly. There is no weirdness here! ] Alright. [ Setting up his pieces. ] Have you played before? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Her awkwardness springs eternal, not staunched by his calmer demeanour. She hopes she'll ease into things once the game starts proper.] [The question does make her smile beneath the fabric of her scarf, though.] I've played it my entire life, actually. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That makes two of us. [ Smile! ] This should be interesting. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[The combination of chess and library is too much for Saetan to resist, and in any case he likes meeting new people. So he approaches the first player he sees, and smiles politely.] Mind if I join you, young man? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ New challenges are always great, as is evident by the smile that creeps up on his face. ] Not at all — have a seat. Black or white? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've always had a fondness for black. [He takes a seat, elegant cane left leaning against the arm of the chair, examining the board as he does.] I don't believe we've met before. Saetan SaDiablo. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[No reaction to his name. He likes that.] Its very nice to meet you, Doctor Reid. [He moves a pawn of his own, long black nails brushing over the smooth surface of the piece.] Yes, I am. Is it so terribly obvious? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
