Juneau Where She's Going?
Who: Carmen Sandiego (doitrockapella) and a bunch of other people!
Where: Various locations in Johto, over the course of the week!
When: The week of January 26th
Summary: This week, her itinerary's loaded with more than just moving violations.
Rating: PG as a default; deviations from that will be marked!
Log:
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/

[She gestures to the pieces one by one as she explains.]
The pawns can only move directly forward a single space, save for the very first time they move from their starting position, when they can move either one or two spaces. They can only threaten pieces located on a diagonal to their position.
The rooks move in straight lines; the bishops move along the diagonals of the color space they started on. Knights move in an L shape — two spaces ahead, and one to the side. They're also the only piece that can jump others when moving. The queen can move in any direction as many spaces as she wants, and the king can only move one space at a time. Does that make sense so far?
no subject
I think so.
no subject
[She gestures lightly to the rows of pieces in front of him.]
The first move is yours. Of your sixteen white pieces, ten can make valid first moves — your eight pawns, and your two knights.
no subject
[ He takes a moment to think it over before moving the pawn from d2 to d4. ]
no subject
[Without hesitation, she shifts a pawn of her own, the near mirror-image of his opening.]
Don't worry too much about what happens in the beginning; this stage of the game is usually about feeling your opponent out, setting up your later strategies, and vying for advantageous board positions. Since you're still just getting started, trial and error might be the best way to go; make moves, see what works and what doesn't, and develop a strategy as you see how the pieces are moving in relation to each other.

[ He takes another moment to think before he shifts a knight to c3. This is an accurate picture of how Naegi feels right now, btw. ]
no subject
[She regards the board for a second, then moves another pawn — this time, into danger of him taking it with his own. Might as well give him the opportunity to practice spotting openings, as well.]
no subject
[ He spots an opening after a few seconds and moves his pawn from d4 to c5, capturing the black pawn. ]
no subject
[Not bad. This time, she moves her pawn from B7 to B6, putting the white pawn in danger again.]
no subject
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.
no subject
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.
no subject
[ 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.
no subject
You've been enjoying your stay here, have you? It must be nice to have so many classmates around.
no subject
[ He moves the pawn from A2 to A3, threatening the bishop. ]
no subject
And what about you?
no subject
[ Hmm. He can't think of anything better so he moves the pawn from B2 to B4. ]
no subject
[She pulls her bishop back again, to C7.]
You deserve it too, don't you?
no subject
[ He moves another pawn, this time from G2 to G4. ]
no subject
...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?
no subject
[ He's starting to feel like the dog with the chemistry set again as he shifts the pawn from H2 to H4. ]
no subject
[And in goes her bishop along the diagonal to H1.]
no subject
[ 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. ]
