ITP: Chess and Other Games

[mind_over_metal]

[--oh oh oh man, it’s the worst feeling, like one of those slow-motion disasters in the movies, where you walk in on something and you immediately know that you’ve walked in on something, the awkwardness hits before your foot touches the ground for your next step but it's too late for you to turn around, the inertia is already carrying you forward

[taking a look at the chess board as she shuffles a deck of cards]

Hmm...

[fuckyeahseateen]

It's a popular title, I guess.

[we_have_a_rogue]

[ooh, cards.]

Deal me in?

[fuckyeahseateen]

Sure. Just let me know what exactly I'm dealing you in on first. I hadn't exactly decided.

[we_have_a_rogue]

I'm good with anything. Whatdya know?

[fuckyeahseateen]

Depends. Think we can rope these two into joining?

[we_have_a_rogue]

I dunno. They look pretty into their game. And I don't know that the Professor wouldn't cheat.

[fuckyeahseateen]

Oh, yeah? Friend of yours?

[we_have_a_rogue]

The Professor? More like a teacher. He started a school to help a bunch of us with our powers.

[fuckyeahseateen]

Huh. That's pretty cool.

[we_have_a_rogue]

Yeah, it is. You should see the place in the mornings though. Only so many teenagers can share a bathroom without there being casualties.

[fuckyeahseateen]

Haha, I bet.

[we_have_a_rogue]

So what happened to that game we were gonna play?

[fuckyeahseateen]

Oh, right! So what are you thinkin'? Strip poker?

[we_have_a_rogue]

NO! I just wanted to play cards!

[fuckyeahseateen]

Guess I'll just have to settle for taking all your money then.
