[ 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! ))

	[ 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)
