∞ 60: Much-needed practice [written/action]

Jul 06, 2009 20:20

[written]

Genis, please send a message when dinner is ready. I will be out for awhile.

If anyone needs me, I will be in the library.

[For lack of anything better to do on a nice summer afternoon, Albert has decided to sit in the library with a ... somewhat-odd setup. A map stretched across a table out of sight from the front door, ( Read more... )

...Oh God, is that Mark's game? I love you. compos_mentis July 7 2009, 03:42:17 UTC

[Nina seems to hang in the library a lot, because right now she's watching this spectacle with a seemingly appraising eye there. She might be reading into the moves... or she might just be Alber-watching. Both of them sound good]

Mark lives on in Luceti! ...If only in props. chikaidestroyer July 7 2009, 05:37:36 UTC

[Albert continues giving the campaign setup his undivided attention, circling the table after completing one move to study the other army.]

[...And then Nina is going to pull up a chair here, and sit in something that may or may not be the position for the other army there. It's a little off center, so it probably is just an observing spot]

Hey there.

chikaidestroyer July 8 2009, 02:33:37 UTC

[He frowns as Nina draws his attention away from the game. Upon seeing who it is, he returns to leaning over the table.]

Is there something I can do for you, Miss Parker?

[ignoring all orders to stay home and rest for a while, Taichi's been out wandering and found himself in the library. As he wanders through, he'll pass by Albert at first, thinking nothing of it. However, he'll stop a little ways away, thinking he's out of sight, and he'll be looking over Albert's shoulders at the set up. What exactly is this?]

[Action] chikaidestroyer July 7 2009, 05:44:04 UTC

[Considering Albert's height, you'll probably find more luck looking between his arms than over his shoulders, Tai. :) But Albert isn't paying attention to his surroundings at the moment; he's contemplating the best way to complete his objectives, whatever those may be.]

[...fff yeah he realizes this after a bit, so he'll begin fidgeting around trying to see what's going on and still be hidden. Buuut unfortunately he leans a little too far forward and losing his balance he'll crash to the floor. Can you ignore your surroundings now, Albert?]

[Action] chikaidestroyer July 7 2009, 06:06:11 UTC

[...Okay, definitely can't ignore that. Albert looks up at the sound, turning to see ... well, a kid in a twitchy pile on the floor. He doesn't say anything for a moment. Once he's satisfied that no one else is around, he clears his throat.]

Are you all right?

[He doesn't answer right away, taking the time to move another piece before speaking.]

Hello, Miss Estelle.

I'm afraid I never heard if it has a proper name. It's a method of practice. [pause] I suppose you could simply call it a war game.

[Since Genis isn't aware that he might be disturbing an Albert-Hard-At-Work, he's going to pipe up over the journal-]

Want anything in particular for dinner, Albert?

[Voice] chikaidestroyer July 7 2009, 18:03:31 UTC

[No immediate answer, Genis. But the journal is open and on the table, so there might be the faint sounds of things being moved around.

It's nearly two full minutes before Albert replies. Hope you weren't waiting with bated breath.]

What are the chef's recommendations?

[Voice] kendama_pro July 8 2009, 09:26:10 UTC

[He was wondering what happened to you, Albert. That silence had him wondering.]

Hm, I dunno. Maybe some hotpot, or stew. But I've been wanting to try something new - any suggestions?

I'm not disturbing you, am I?

[Voice] chikaidestroyer July 9 2009, 07:24:36 UTC

[It's another several seconds before he replies.] I'm in the middle of something, but your message was slightly expected.

I would suggest the sweet curry, but considering that is supposed to be the Professor's undertaking... Hotpot sounds appealing.

[puts down her book and comes over to observe. While being silently polite about it]

chikaidestroyer July 8 2009, 02:35:36 UTC

[Since Albert is not paying attention to bystanders, he continues working on the game. He makes mental notes to himself to hold himself accountable for his own decisions for each side.]

offallingsnow July 8 2009, 02:40:19 UTC

[waits until there seems to be a lull in his game before speaking]

Would you care for an opponent?

chikaidestroyer July 8 2009, 04:18:18 UTC

[He pauses, looking over at Nephry with a raised brow.]

An opponent?
