[ 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! ))

	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)

	[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)

	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)

	[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)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-09-02 07:24 pm UTC (link)
	Wow. Should we get him a trophy? [Teasing, but she is glad. A little for Helix, but mostly for Reid. She just hopes Helix doesn't spoil his progress. Again, a little for Helix and a lot for Reid.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-09-03 04:04 am UTC (link)
	Knowing him, he'd probably take it the wrong way. [ Little smile. ] It's nice to see this kind of change for once. When I first started talking to him, I was sure he had some kind of anti-social disorder. Borderline sociopath, he was just too young to be diagnosed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-09-04 02:25 pm UTC (link)
	There might not be a right way to take that. [She does give Reid a curious glance though.] And now? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-09-04 04:27 pm UTC (link)
	I doubt it. I mean, I can't say for sure but it does seem like most of his behavior was environmental. The longer he stays away from the harmful situation he was in, the less he feels a need to act out. Still major problems with authority figures, but... I'm working on it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-09-07 12:08 pm UTC (link)
	[Wow, are you talking about Helix or your girlfriend? She is actually thinking about the connection, but she doesn't voice it.] Work fast. You're becoming more and more of an authority figure. Could get dicey. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-09-07 04:53 pm UTC (link)
	[ Amused. ] Believe me, he remembers that from time to time. Actually, uhm... when he found out that I was together with you he told me he couldn't trust me anymore because I, uh... I was sleeping with the enemy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-09-07 05:54 pm UTC (link)
	[That gets a laugh as she moves one of her pieces on the board.] He got over it I guess? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
