[ 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! ))

	[Frederick has gotten a second wind since she told him that, but it still isn't enough to completely prevent it. Soon he has no choice but to leave his king open] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She positions her Queen to nearly complete the trap. If she had not been so decisive, though, she knows the haro would have easily had her within two or three moves.] Check! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Frederick debates a moment then moves his king out get the piece out of check] Out of check! Out of check! [Probably not for long] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She gives chase, hoping to force him to stick his head into her noose.] Check again! [Softly, at her own pun.] Hehehe. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Lyle snickers at that. He can pretty much see at this point unless something drastic happens, Frederick is going to lose soon. Frederick can see that too and moves his piece out of the way] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[For Calliope, it has turned into the thrill of the hunt, even if in a friendly and playful manner.] [She nudges along after.] Do let me know when you're ready to be mated, love. I can keep this up all day. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Lyle can't help a chuckle] Haros are stubborn. He could keep this up for while as long as he can. [Both a comment and a warning in case she just wanted to go ahead and checkmate the king. And true to what Lyle said, Frederick moves his king away] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She giggles.] That's adorable. [Even if she's prepared to entertain him for awhile, it could get boring for Lyle, so she decides to complete the noose knot rather than chase his king around more.] Mr. Frederick Haro, the jig is up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Frederick looks at the board a moment after she moves, then raises his arms back up under his ear flaps. After that he flaps them] Good game! Good game! [At least Lyle taught him to be a good sport about losing] I'd say that was a good game. Thank you, Callie. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Anything is better than Caliborn's reaction to losing, so she claps gleefully in a soft series of glove-muffled pap-paps.] It was a pleasure playing with you, Frederick! And thank you, Lyle. This was a lovely opportunity, and it's always nice to meet new people. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cbsniper_v2 2013-08-28 07:14 pm UTC (link)
	Pleasure playing with you! Pleasure playing with you! [Lyle starts packing up Frederick's chess pieces] I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was nice meeting you. I'll let you know if he wants a rematch. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-08-29 11:19 pm UTC (link)
	Certainly! I'll be ready to field it at any time. [Calliope beams, reaching a gloved hand out to shake one of Frederick's with her forefinger and thumb.] Study well, Frederick! I'll do the same. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cbsniper_v2 2013-08-29 11:32 pm UTC (link)
	[Frederick lowers his hand again to shake hers. It wasn't often someone wanted to shake his hand so he was rather excited about that] Will do! Will do! Study well! Goodbye! [And once they are done shaking hands, Lyle stands and picks up Frederick again] It was good meeting. Thanks again for the game. [And if there is nothing else, he'll be off] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She wiggles her fingers at them in farewell. She'll begin resetting her pieces to wait for another challenger, feeling very good about that match.] [It helps that her opponent was adorable.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
