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/

[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.

[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. ]

[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?

[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. ]

[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.]

[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. ]
