...that will teach me to play against unfamiliar foes...

I am grateful for those that expressed interest in the game of ches. I will still play anyone who wishes whenever possible. And continue to teach those that I promised to.


...Tobias? Are you still about?


[[Specifically Giovanni is referring to Metal and Eald as they were both unexpected and very intelligent opponents. Also the small strikes are muttered far away from the communicator.]]

Ches?

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

[He chuckles. He thought he had heard all of this last time! X) ] Yes. It is a game I mentioned the other day. A game of strategy and cunning.

[not-riku-thx.livejournal.com]

Oh...

Sorry. I guess all my strategy and cunning was still going to the roof, the other day.

I sort of know how to play Pai Sho too. Iroh taught me...but I don't have all the tiles for it.

[crystal-eyed.livejournal.com]

You're welcome, hume. I look forward to when we play again.

[[ ooc : Who do we assume won? Eald will have had fnu either way |D ]]

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

Ahhhh... How is it holding?

I am not sure how to play that one actually. It sounds like another Asian equivalent or predecessor. Minato mentioned one as well.

[verily-ergo.livejournal.com]

I would like to try my hand at being your opponent for such a game.

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

Grazie, giovane. You are a quick learner.

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

I would be pleased to play against you. Will have to use a less than conventional set for now though.

[crystal-eyed.livejournal.com]

[ Oh whoops, was he speaking all mature like? Sorry! Back to kidtiems. ]

Hehehe! My brother says that about me all the time! Chess sure is fun, though!

[[ ooc : Works for me~ |D ]]

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

Brother, hmm? Back home I suspect? ...I enjoy it. I will play with you again.

[Just not too soon.]

[crystal-eyed.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he's not here. If he ever does show up, though, I'll introduce ya! He's not very smart, though.

Really? Great! Hehehe!

[ Fine by him~ He has plenty of things to tend to already |D ]

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

Very good, giovane. I would like that.

[So does Giovanni, really. But he does want to play again!]

[verily-ergo.livejournal.com]

I have a modern chess set of my own, although I'm uncertain the same pieces would apply.

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

You have it here? Ah, that is even better. I would be very grateful for playing with you. ... We'll see. For those who already knew it it seemed the same.

[crystal-eyed.livejournal.com]

Ehehehe! Okay, maybe after I finish training with Minato one day? It's a good cool-off from all that knife-throwing he always has me do...

[ So does Eald! Although that's mainly from boredom than anything... ]

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

[He meant--well, nevermind.]

That would work.

[Giovanni's just an idiot and spreading himself all over the place. -What- subtext? What are you talking about?]

[crystal-eyed.livejournal.com]

[ Eald just needs something to occupy his mind. Don't mind him~ ]

Great! Thanks!

[verily-ergo.livejournal.com]

I eagerly look forward to being your opponent, then.

[foxtamer.livejournal.com]

It was fun! I'm looking forward to learning more.

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

Sei il benvenuto.

[foxtamer.livejournal.com]

... [Hahaha, the silence of Minato trying to figure out what was just said to him. Giovanni's probably used to it by now. Well, considering the situation, and the way he said it...]

"You're welcome"....?

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

Sì.

[foxtamer.livejournal.com]

Hey, got it right! [Yes, Minato sounds happy with himself. Only Gionvanni and Angeal can get him to act a bit like a happy kid.]

And yes, thank you. When I get the proper set for Shogi, I can start teaching it to you in turn.

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

[He chuckles softly. He recognizes that kid-joy.]

I look forward to it.

[foxtamer.livejournal.com]

[Chess and cooking progress makes Minato happy. Who knew?]

Then I will do my best to prepare!

I'm still around haunting attics. Is there something you need?

[Voice]

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

A small favor actually, if you would not mind. It might be an odd request but...

I have a friend that is quite fond of birds but has never seen one of the larger birds of prey before. Would you be kind enough to...show off for her a bit?

[Text]

[morphinbirdboy.livejournal.com]

[o rly]

Oh? Who is this friend? Hope she doesn't mind voices in her head.

[Voice]

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

I did tell her that you could speak although admittedly I didn't mention how.

Her name is Nill. She is very sweet.

[Text]

[morphinbirdboy.livejournal.com]

[That could end hilariously...]

The name sounds familiar...where does she live?

[Voice]

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

She lives in...Horton.
