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

[godwinner]

[romeowned]

[watching for a bit more]

... It's... strange seeing you like this.

[godwinner]

How's that?

[romeowned]

Well, it's... kind of peaceful.

[godwinner]

[ ...the p-word. ]

Relatively speaking, I'd imagine most things I do would seem that way to you.

[romeowned]

... Yeah, I guess they would. It's just one thing to know that you two used to be... close, and another to actually see it.

[godwinner]

...that's a well known fact, is it.

[romeowned]

You are two of the most well known mutants, after all.

[godwinner]

Get our pictures in the paper often?

[romeowned]

You're misunderstanding.
