[ 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! ))

	I have no idea what makes you believe that. [ No shit Sherlock ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I must be making things up again. Maybe I should just abandon the idea entirely. Though some chess might be fun. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Chess never fails. [ So relieved, you don't understand. ] You should come over. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He wasn't really worried, was he?] I will. And you can do anything with your lap while I'm there since I won't be using it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Maybe not worried, but he's also come to understand that "expect the unexpected" applies even more to her than it does Marina. ] That,s uh. That's reassuring. I'll see you in a bit, then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-08-30 03:35 pm UTC (link)
	Yep. Save me a game. [Because it won't be too long before he catches sight of her in person.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He just so happens to be setting up the board again after yet another quick match against... well. Himself. It's good practice, okay. ] Hey. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-08-30 03:44 pm UTC (link)
	Hey you. [She gets up close and leans down for a kiss of greeting.] How's the chessing? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-08-30 03:46 pm UTC (link)
	[ Greeting kisses may be one of his favorite parts of this whole relationship thing. ] Pretty good. I won the last match. [ Hahaha...hah. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-08-30 03:58 pm UTC (link)
	[They are pretty great. She'll just take the seat across from him instead of using his lap as promised.] Oh, yeah? Who was the loser? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-08-30 04:00 pm UTC (link)
	Also me, but I prefer to count my winnings rather than the losses. [ Dork. ] White or black? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-08-30 04:06 pm UTC (link)
	It's hard to stay ahead of yourself. [Silly boyfriend.] Black. [She starts getting her pieces into place.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-08-30 04:54 pm UTC (link)
	[ Setting up his own and making his first move soon as they're both ready. ] It's been a while since we played out in public. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-08-30 05:07 pm UTC (link)
	The PG edition? With a real board and everything. [She counters quickly, and as usual, aggressively.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-08-30 05:11 pm UTC (link)
	Yes. With a board. [ Don't you go using your distraction tactics, Miss Pryde. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-08-30 05:17 pm UTC (link)
	[Smiling.] Have you found any other chess buddies? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-08-30 05:25 pm UTC (link)
	A few, yeah. Some are even posing a challenge. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-08-30 05:28 pm UTC (link)
	Oh yeah? Like who? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-08-31 06:48 am UTC (link)
	Are you scoping out the competition? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-08-31 01:02 pm UTC (link)
	Naturally. You can't have all the fun. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-09-01 11:19 am UTC (link)
	Well, in that case... Callie's pretty good and if you haven't played against Helix before, you should. He's improved. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-09-01 03:52 pm UTC (link)
	That sounds like something that might be your fault. Teaching him your chessing ways? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-09-02 12:42 pm UTC (link)
	I might've. It's been a while since he caused trouble, hasn't it? [ Which isn't something he should receive all the credit for and he knows it. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-09-02 06:44 pm UTC (link)
	Sounds like you're boasting now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-09-02 07:13 pm UTC (link)
	I'm just pointing out the truth. He hasn't posted a bomb threat in months. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
