Ah, another's post yesterday made me think of something. There is a common supply cache around here, is there not? I have no need to request of anything, but I did have a question for those that run it. Or, a proposition perhaps. I am a banker and businessman by birth inheritance and am highly trained and skilled with the workings of such a profession. I realize this is not exactly the same, but if you need a helping hand with keeping up with the supplies and rationing them out--well, that's where being a banker comes in handy. [He chuckles lightly.] I can keep my numbers quite well. I can help with records and the like.

[As if he doesn't volunteer/do enough crap around here, now he's going off and volunteering for more. Oi. Well, anyway, maybe he just wanted to do something familiar for a change. His new trips out into hunting are nice and all but he has to admit (at least to himself) that he misses his less adventurous duties, too. Besides that, it was something (else) he inherited from his father and he wanted to continue it even if it was in some strange place and not quite the same.

...

Or maybe he just needed another hobby. Anyway...]

I did think of something I can ask all of Discedo, including the supply cache since it's an item: does anyone have a scacchi--eschec...ches?--set? Or, perhaps, good at wood-work? Whittling? And would be willing to trade.

Does anybody know how to play the "King's Game"?

Yes, I think so.

I've played it once or twice before. There should be many people who know the rules; it's a common enough game.

So it would seem. Even here... Would you be one of those persons interested in a match?

Perhaps, after I have examined this world a little more closely. If you are offering, I should tell you that I prefer skilled opponents. A game against a beginner would be too short and not worth the time it takes to set up the pieces.

I assure you I have been playing for a very long time now. It is the mark of the noble. A learned man.

It is also very exciting to win when others are not expecting it.

You sound very confident in your abilities. Certainly, now that you have said such a thing, I would be expecting a possible victory on your part, right...? .....Very well. I wouldn't have it any other way.

If you're the type to be wary, perhaps. But every confident fool can be taught a lesson by the end of the day. So. We shall see. I will show you why I am so confident.

Will you? I'll be looking forward to it, then.
