People interested in interacting with Carmen or having her pay your character a visit at some point during this week, feel free to throw in a starter with a date and location for the thread! You can either write the starter yourself and I'll have her tag into it, or you can drop a top-level just with date and time and I'll come up with a reason for their paths to cross, either way. o/

[ Naegi immediately shifts his pawn from C5 to B6 to capture the pawn Carmen just moved. ]

1997... That was some time ago. [ It's not the 18th century or something but it still feels like it was forever ago. He was, what, five back then? ]

Do you like it here? It seems like a lot of people want to go home as soon as possible.

[doitrockapella]

[With a smile, she moves her bishop out from F8 to B4, threatening his knight.]

Pay attention now. You can't move your knight without putting your king in check, see?

[But, with that lesson taken care of — ]

I do like it here. It's less that I'm eager to go home and more that I'd just like some familiar faces to come back, honestly.

[doitrockapella]

That's what I get for sleeping and flying.

[As if for emphasis, she rubs her eyes a little bit, blinking rapidly to bring them back into focus once she's done.

And then, because she has no concept of personal space whatsoever, she'll just opt to help Kayneth dust himself off, reaching for his shoulder to brush away some of the clinging dirt and grass.]

You're sure you're fine?

[superordinary]

Huh? [ He regards the board, scratching his chin in thought. ] ...Oh, your bishop would capture my king. Thanks, I didn't even notice that.

[ That said, he moves his pawn from B6 to A7, capturing another black pawn in the process. ]

Maybe they'll return one day. This world is a nice place.

[doitrockapella]

[Calmly, she moves her rook to take his pawn.]

You've been enjoying your stay here, have you? It must be nice to have so many classmates around.

[superordinary]

Of course. I'm really glad they get another chance here. They deserve to be happy after going through all that.

[ He moves the pawn from A2 to A3, threatening the bishop. ]

[doitrockapella]

[Not bad. She draws her bishop back to A5.]

And what about you?

[superordinary]

...Huh?

[ Hmm. He can't think of anything better so he moves the pawn from B2 to B4. ]

[enjoymyatelier]

[....PERSONAL BUBBLE HE CAN'T EVEN RESPOND TO THAT FIRST BIT]

No, no, perfectly fine. It's really nothing --- believe me, if I couldn't handle that sort of thing, I'd probably still be back in Pallet.

[doitrockapella]

They deserve to be happy. That's admirable and selfless of you, but that doesn't actually answer my question about whether you're happy.

[She pulls her bishop back again, to C7.]

You deserve it too, don't you?

[doitrockapella]

[...sir what are you]

So women fall out of the sky onto you often, then?

[superordinary]

I think so. Everyone deserves to be happy.

[ He moves another pawn, this time from G2 to G4. ]

[doitrockapella]

[Now it's her other bishop's turn to move, this time from C8 to B7.]

...If I ask you something — and it's going to sound a bit blunt, so I apologize in advance for that — would you mind answering something for me?

[superordinary]

S-sure, go ahead. I don't mind.

[ He's starting to feel like the dog with the chemistry set again as he shifts the pawn from H2 to H4. ]

[enjoymyatelier]

...That's not exactly what I meant...

[should he just stop talking...]

[doitrockapella]

Like I said, I mean this in the best possible way, but: people take advantage of you a fair amount, don't they.

[And in goes her bishop along the diagonal to H1.]

[doitrockapella]

[...This is officially really awkward, isn't it.]

...

[LOOK SHE'S JUST GOING TO...PAT THIS DRIFLOON, HERE, HELLO FRIEND.]

So. What were you doing out here, before my...untimely arrival?

[superordinary]

...Sometimes, yeah.

[ Okay, wait, what just-- well gently caress, why didn't he see that coming? Now his other knight gets to move, from G1 to H3. ]

[enjoymyatelier]

[...yeah it really is..................

DRIFBLIM IS HAPPY AT THIS POINT AT LEAST BECAUSE HELLO PRETTY LADY]

I'd come out with the intent of training some of my lower-leveled Pokemon, but one of them is proving to be a bit... difficult. We were looking for him, but we haven't had too much luck.

[doitrockapella]

[HELLO, GORGEOUS.]

I wonder if that's what caught the attention of my Togekiss.

[enjoymyatelier]

...if that's the case, I sincerely apologize. Ugh, he's such a nuisance...

[He sighs in frustration, looking around for any sign of either Pokemon.]

Well, I'd certainly be happy to help you search yours out, if yours is the sort who would need finding.
