[ 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! ))

	[ Data sees the message on the network, so he stops by the library. When he sees Reid, he does approach, though he doesn't immediately challenge him. Instead, he stands aside and observes. When he speaks up, it is polite and quiet. ] Greetings. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Good thing he was so deeply in the game with himself or that could've been creepy. A smile spreads over his face as he realizes who it is. ] Hey. Are, uh... are you looking for a partner? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ It is a smile which Data returns, small and polite, with a nod. ] If you are interested in a game, I would be most amenable. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sure, I'd love to! Have a seat! [ Best day ever. He nods towards the empty chair before getting started on resetting the board. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He nods and takes the opposite seat. ] The vast majority of my experience has not been on a board in this configuration, as single-level chess boards have been largely phased out of use in my time. [ A slight tilt of his head as he considers the board. ] This should prove a most intriguing experience. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ No time like the present. ] I've always wanted to try multi-level chess... it's hard to find partners though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ A brow is arched in interest. ] If it would be possible to procure such a board in the facility, I would be happy to assist. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Oh boy it's like Christmas and every birthday anyone's ever had just came together in a handful of words. Cannot contain his happy. ] Really? That would be great! [ Beyond great. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ A nod. ] Certainly. I will attempt to obtain a set for the purpose. For the time being, I believe that a single level board will suffice. I am programmed with an array of techniques and strategies for several variations on the game, this form included. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Then this should be interesting. [ Heh. ] White or black? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thirdcriterion 2013-09-22 08:56 pm UTC (link)
	I am adaptable to either. If you prefer the initiative, I will take black. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	White is fine by me. [ And a little pressure-adding, seeing as he'll have to get creative with his opening. He makes his initial move relatively quickly though. ] (Reply to this) (Parent)
