[Damian Wayne || Video/Action || Nineteenth Swing]

[Somebody looks bored, or if you know him a bit better, he looks a bit perturbed and his eyebrows are knit just a bit too stiffly. He’s toying with something in his hand. If it comes into view of the camera, you’ll see it’s the rook off the facility chess board. If anyone was looking for it, he has it.]Zanotto? Do you know how to play

action.

[faultlesscon]

[He's coming out of his room when he catches the feed. A glance over to the room and he's moving there, knocking.]

[faultlesscon]

[A nod.] A shame.

For starters I'm human, but if that's not what you're getting at, then I'm a high school student. I do nothing worth a second glance.

[thebat_brat]

Hmph.

It was part of what I was getting at. [And then he's staring again. This makes no sense to him.] Then why are you here?

[faultlesscon]

[Good, because Alex doesn't like people making sense about him - it's awkward. He shrugs and makes another move.]

In the facility? A very good question. Playing a game with you? Like you said, it 'passes the time'.

[thebat_brat]

Tt! Don't play games. [...Isn't that what you're doing right now, Damian?]

This facility-- it's a test. So why were you brought here?

[faultlesscon]

[Not going to make a comment on it - his snark's evolved.] If you say so.

Your guess is as good as mine, if that's the answer we're looking for.

[thebat_brat]

Hmph. There has to be something.

[Glower glower glower.] ...But point taken.

[faultlesscon]

Well what about you - why were you brought here, Damian?

[Are they still playing? Because Alex is meeting that glower with a blank look.]

[thebat_brat]

Hmph. Because I can take it.

[He got wrapped up in talk, and he smirks, looking back down and moving his charge forward, swiping up one of Alex's pieces.]

[faultlesscon]

You think this is a survival sort of thing then?

[Oh you jerk. Alex makes another move, but other than that he doesn't seem too bothered by it.]

[thebat_brat]

When wasn't that apparent? You either survive or you're terminated.

[The question is, which is better? He's stares back down at the board, making a move.]

[faultlesscon]

And if you get by on dumb luck?

[Have a reply to that move, at least they're doing something.]

[thebat_brat]

Then you'll make a dumb mistake.

[It's something alright, suite bonding right here!]

[faultlesscon]

And if that doesn't happen?

[Another move and-- oh, hey. Check?]

[thebat_brat]

You'll--

[He's staring at the board. Yes, he sees his mistake.]

...make a dumb mistake.

[faultlesscon]

[He's not all too excited about having beaten the other - just kind of staring then moving to set the taken pieces back on the board.]

Hm.
