[ 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! ))

	A game? Of course, that should have been obvious. They are so important to him. Thank you. That's very helpful. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Important" doesn't even begin to cover it. [Calliope looks down at their chess match.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	To you too? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Of course! But for all their importance to us, we regard games very differently. I love them because they're fun and a chance for healthy competition. He... sees them as a way of proving his dominance. [She frowns. That might not be the best wording, but it's all she could come up with in a pinch.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think there were those in my family who had similar opposing ideas about games. That must make it hard for him to lose. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, of course. He always pitches a fit. [She pauses, thoughtfully.] Then again, he also pitched a fit when he won. I think he just doesn't know what to do with himself, sometimes. [Or, more likely, he just likes pissing Calliope off at every opportunity.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Considering that. It certainly sounded like the man she'd come to know.] Maybe he doesn't know what really makes him happy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Despite her best efforts not to, Calliope frowns.] Maybe. I have a feeling I know what would make him very happy, but... you don't want to hear about that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Hard to miss that frown.] I don't? You're so sure? [It is less that she doesn't believe and more that she does that makes her hesitant.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
