[ 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! ))

	Is proof really important? I'm the law around here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If you're the law, then you should really know the importance of proof. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I should, but I think the power has gone to my head. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Dictatorship so quickly... that is a shame. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You wanted slow dictatorship? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-09-14 07:00 pm UTC (link)
	Preferably? I don't want any dictatorship, unless possibly in the original roman meaning of the word. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-09-15 12:43 pm UTC (link)
	Okay, I'll bite. What was the original roman meaning? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-09-15 01:12 pm UTC (link)
	First of all, it didn't have a negative meaning. In the ancient roman republic, a dictator was a single person who was given absolute power to deal with a crisis and once the crisis was over, they handed the power back to the Senate. It wasn't until Cornelius Sulla that the word started to have a negative meaning. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I kind of doubt the Defense Force would follow me with unquestioning loyalty. Or fear. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-09-15 05:06 pm UTC (link)
	I'm sure some of the members would. [ He would. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Do you have a list? Maybe I should start my ascent to tyranny. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-09-15 06:56 pm UTC (link)
	I guess I could ask around, if you really want me to. [ Little smile. ] Have you had any complaints? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-09-16 05:45 pm UTC (link)
	You mean aside from Helix? Sougo I guess. I got the feeling he was an equal opportunity hater of authority figures. Not so sure he's a good fit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-09-19 02:23 pm UTC (link)
	Ah. That guy. [ He clears his throat. Shifts his weight. He did tell Lacus that he may need to talk to Kitty about this, but seeing as he hasn't even talked to Sougo yet... ] I should talk to him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-09-19 08:00 pm UTC (link)
	You should? [She looks a little confused and maybe a tiny bit offended.] You know I didn't tell you so you could go beat up my opposition. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-09-20 12:21 pm UTC (link)
	No, no... of course not. I've, uh... I've been meaning to talk to him for a while. [ A beat of hesitation... but what the hell, he only needs one Piter situation. ] Lacus asked me to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-09-21 06:27 pm UTC (link)
	Lacus? [Not what she was expecting to hear.] Why? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-09-22 06:27 pm UTC (link)
	[ A little sigh and then he gets out of his chair, motioning for her to come with. ] Not here. I promised to keep this on the downlow. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-09-23 12:08 am UTC (link)
	[And she is up and following. Curiouser and curiouser.] Are you going to frisk me for listening devices first? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-09-23 11:27 am UTC (link)
	[ More private section of the library found. This'll do. ] No... of course not. I just don't want anyone to overhear. It's a little sensitive. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-09-24 02:18 am UTC (link)
	[She was really just being playful. You know, frisking between partners, but hey, he is missing that it seems so maybe she should try being a little more serious about this sensitive issue.] What's up? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-09-24 12:47 pm UTC (link)
	[ He draws a breath, kind of regretting making a big deal out of this now. It doesn't have to be. It probably isn't. ] She came to me because she was worried about him. He's displaying some... sadistic tendencies. It doesn't have to mean anything and I don't want to draw any conclusions before i talk to him, but... that's what's up.

	He does seem to boast that kind of thing. Did he do something to her? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-09-27 05:48 pm UTC (link)
	No, not to her... from the sounds of it, he's done nothing but protect her. She's more worried about what he might do to someone else. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-09-28 08:06 pm UTC (link)
	Has he made threats? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
