Any chess players? I seem to have lost my partner.

	Depends if you're wanting a good chess player or simply a chess player. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	A good one is always preferable. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Lost is perhaps a strong word, my friend, I believe I've only been misplaced. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Ahh, so you are here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	worththefight 2012-09-23 09:29 pm UTC (link)
	So it seems, though I'm not quite certain why. No one is particularly concerned over that fact however, so I'm resigning no to fret. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~Why? The question is how do we get out.~~ There are other things to fret over. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Certainly! I do wonder what the situation is like [...] back home. But also this man whose head I'm mucking about in as well. His mental state is very worrisome. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	magneticforce 2012-09-24 06:45 am UTC (link)
	Have you not gone yet? ~~They are all worrisome. to be bound into a man who I must follow--~~ How far are you into his mind? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I have learned of the doors from this man, but he is very reluctant to do much else other than drink himself into unconsciousness.

It is as if I'm simply touching his mind with my own. I can read his thoughts, push through the barrier of his mental defenses to a degree, but I have yet been unwilling to try much else. His mind has been through something very traumatic, it's fragile. I don't wish to harm him further.

	Because do as the rest of us do and wait for him to talk to you. Not everyone wants someone in their mind, Charles. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~He was fine with the first inhabitant.~~ Some people also need the help of a friend, and I can't be helpful if I don't know the problem. [...] Yet, time heals. Perhaps I can convince him to move through the door, if only for a bit, to see a familiar face and the situation we have found ourselves in. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	magneticforce 2012-10-01 06:45 pm UTC (link)
	Help does not always mean going through their memories. [...] Very well. The world is different and we are not as near as I can tell. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	worththefight 2012-10-01 07:28 pm UTC (link)
	~~It's helped you.~~ I'll try to remember that. I'll make my way across the door as soon as possible. Your presence would be a welcome comfort, if you wish to meet me on the other side, I could contact you before hand. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	magneticforce 2012-10-01 08:00 pm UTC (link)
	~~I didn't want you in my head.~~ I've already been. ~~I'm there now.~~ Name a time and I'll make sure I'm here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Splendid, my friend, I look forward to seeing you. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I play, but only when they let me win. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	"Let" you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If they think it gets them in my bed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	magneticforce 2012-09-24 06:46 am UTC (link)
	Does it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lumokinesis 2012-09-24 06:53 am UTC (link)
	On occasion. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	magneticforce 2012-09-24 01:02 pm UTC (link)
	They must be very good at letting you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lumokinesis 2012-09-24 04:29 pm UTC (link)
	They're very good at sacrificing their ~~what is the word~~ dignity, indeed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	magneticforce 2012-10-01 06:46 pm UTC (link)
	If they're willing to give it up so freely, that deserve what they get. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Me in the sheets? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	magneticforce 2012-10-01 08:02 pm UTC (link)
	I was referring to the loss of dignity so willingly traded. It's worth more than that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lumokinesis 2012-10-01 09:17 pm UTC (link)
	You haven't met me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[...] That I have not. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lumokinesis 2012-10-01 09:37 pm UTC (link)
	So how can you say what a man's dignity is worth in such a situation? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	magneticforce 2012-10-01 09:40 pm UTC (link)
	Because no one is worth that, my dear. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lumokinesis 2012-10-01 09:45 pm UTC (link)
	You take your chess very seriously. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Humans will always try to take whatever you can get from them, whether it's theirs or not. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's quite an unusual name... Do you have a board? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ungeist 2012-09-29 03:49 am UTC (link)
	One that was chosen for me, but that has stuck all the same. I do not, but I could purchase one leicht. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	magneticforce 2012-09-29 10:46 am UTC (link)
	It is not required if you have the memory for it. I have a board here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ungeist 2012-09-29 10:53 pm UTC (link)
	Good enough. You may make the first move, and tell me where you come from, with the name Erik. Northern Europe, I wager. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Pawn to G5. Ah, I see. [In German.] A timely moment to leave. [English again.] I wonder if you are from the same world as me. Your name, you see, is familiar. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Knight to H3. [In German.]Not timely enough. [...] It's a possibility. There are many people I do not know here that I feel as though I should. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
