[ 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! ))

	[Lelouch is also seeking a new opponent! He already has the black pieces in front of him, from a very fancy set given him by a very dear sister of his. You will probably lose horrifically. But he's willing to play some teaching games too.] (Reply to this) (Thread)

	[Frederick is bouncing through the room looking for a partner to play chess with, Lyle following along behind him only to keep track of him. Spotting someone who didn't have a partner he bounces over] Game? Game? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He looks kind of confused.] Yes, it's a game. [What even.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cbsniper_v2 2013-08-25 12:15 am UTC (link)
	[Lyle chuckles] No, I think he is challenging you to a game. He knows what it is. Challenge! Challenge! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What is it? [He's seen it around but...] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's a haro. This one's name is Frederick. They are robots from my world with an artificial intelligence. They mainly help with repairs, but he's been working on chess. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've never played against a robot before. It might make an interesting challenge. [At this point he's just rolling with your weird, Marina.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cbsniper_v2 2013-08-26 09:49 pm UTC (link)
	[Lyle's been rolling with it for months so he's used to this] Great! [Lyle catches Frederick so he can set him on the table across from Lelouch. Frederick raises his ear flaps to lower his hands as Lyle sits and sets up Frederick's chess pieces] I'm Lyle by the way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	zugzwanger 2013-08-27 01:02 am UTC (link)
	Lelouch. [He watches the robot get settled and the other pieces prepared.] Whenever you're ready, Frederick. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cbsniper_v2 2013-08-27 06:52 am UTC (link)
	[And then Frederick will make the opening move, looking back up at Lelouch for the next move. Frederick is all serious now] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	zugzwanger 2013-08-27 11:51 pm UTC (link)
	[He decides that he's going to play more aggressively than usual, though there's not much in a first move to show that.] Is he yours from home? [He doesn't really seem the type to make them...] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cbsniper_v2 2013-08-28 07:14 pm UTC (link)
	[Frederick scans the board and then moves his next piece] The type of robot is from my world, but he's actually probably one of the few true "natives" of Marina. My brother made him when he was still here so he's only known these places. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It seems cruel to bring something moderately intelligent into the world in a prison. [he moves immediately, like he's already thinking way ahead] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Nice set. [There's a Kitty checking out your chess pieces, Lelouch.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	zugzwanger 2013-08-25 10:15 pm UTC (link)
	[Does Reid know you're ogling other mens' pieces?] Thank you. They were a gift from Euphemia. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-08-26 01:09 am UTC (link)
	[He's actually pretty aware of that fact.] Right, my boss. [Kitty smiles a bit. Not that she really regards Euphemia that way, but she is in charge of the school and Kitty does teach a class.] That was nice of her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~[kinky]~~ She does what she can to take care of those she cares about, and everyone around her. [He's kind of twirling the black king around in his fingers.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-08-26 09:16 am UTC (link)
	Sounds about right. You know, when she isn't threatening to kill them. [Sooooo casual.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	zugzwanger 2013-08-26 09:44 pm UTC (link)
	[His face doesn't change, but the twirling of the king stops.] Of course. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Never did find out why that happens. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There is no hatred for anyone in her, other than what that curse brings out in her. The person she is when that comes out is a stranger to me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-08-28 09:05 am UTC (link)
	Curse? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That is the only way I have to describe it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
