(OPEN!) ... Nc5xb3

[burntviolet]

Who: Hanako (burntviolet) and YOU!
What: After this network post was made, three days passed indeed. There will be lots of chess playing and the general cute stuff that happens when a girl named Hanako is involved.
When: Day 80, from morning to late afternoon.
Where: Sigyn House's yard.
Rating: PG, just to be safe.
Note(s): It's not only about the chess itself, and you don't need to have commented to the network post if you want to play/chat with her. You could be a passer by and spot her, or watch the game as a third party, or just enjoy drinking tea with her. Anything goes!

Also, since I really can't chess for the life of me, it's ok if we keep the game vague with the moves and all that stuff. |Dc



[When Hisao went to pick Nashi up for the daily jogging session, Hanako took a shower, dressed herself casually, and prepared herself psychologically for what's to come shortly later.

And there she is, sitting by a round table in the garden, with her precious and finely carved chess set laying in front of her. The pieces are still inside, waiting to be used. She knows that people might have preferences with either black or white, so she's going to wait before setting them on the board.

She even thought of bringing a tray with a teapot, sugar, milk, and a small pile of beakers. If the guests will be more than one, it wouldn't be convenient to bring tea cups and wash them in-between encounters. She hopes they like black tea. And she also hopes they like those chocolate chip cookies that she's put on a plate next to the tea, as well.

It looks like she's trying to do her best to make her opponents feel comfortable.

So while she waits, you can find her leaning back on her chair, fingers entangled together nervously on her lap as she looks down at the chessboard. Are you the one who accepted her challenge? Are you just passing by? Whoever you are, come on and talk to her~]

[ And as he promised, here's Battler--he's pretty easy to spot, thanks to his cape. He approaches the girl with a smile. ] Hey, Hanako. Looks like you've been really prepared for this.

[burntviolet]

... Hello, Ushiromiya-san. [She stiffens up a little... first time she meets this pervert guy, after all.]

Yes, I have... I didn't want to be caught unprepared.

[titties]

It looks great! It's re~ally welcoming, ihihi!

[ he'll sit across from her ] Now that I think of it, isn't this the first time we've talked like this? Without those weird bracelets, anyways.

[burntviolet]

It indeed is the first time. [quickly brushing her hair in to cover her face some.]

Ah, I'm glad you like it. Although it's just some tea and cookies...

[titties]

You'll do this again, then? Count me in on the next times, too.

[burntviolet]

I might, if enough people are interested.

[Pulling out the pieces.] Black or white?

[titties]

White sounds just fine.

[burntviolet]

Okay, then I'll take black. [She sets all the pieces on the board.]

[titties]

[ aw yeah time to put on his game face... or something... ] I hope you've practiced, heheh. I've become pretty skilled at this game.

[burntviolet]

I did... I've improved a bit more since I came to Asgard. I've got some years long experience, by now.

[titties]

In that case, I'll give you everything I've got!

[burntviolet]

[She nods more firmly - that's what she's looking for, after all. A glint of competition in her eyes, and then all pieces are set up.]

Your turn to move.

[titties]

[ And Battler does begin -- his move carefully planned despite being the first one ]

[burntviolet]

[Hanako will follow suit- like it's automatic for her to put the pawn up in that position.]

[titties]

[ Battler's moves are all carefully planned -- as if he's trying to predict what kind of moves Hanako might make next. Of course, some of his moves are also slightly clumsy, as if growing overconfident. ]

[burntviolet]

[That doesn't go past Hanako, and it shows when she starts getting aggressive from the beginning, stealing one of Battler's pawns after just a few moves, using her bishop nonetheless- while at the same time putting it in a safe spot. The girl sure likes thinking ahead, too.]

[titties]

[ Battler fights back quickly, his moves slightly rash-seeming with speed, but he catches up by stealing a few of Hanako's pawns, too. Though, he'll have to do more than that to be in a more comfortable position with the game ]

[burntviolet]

[Hanako catches on that, taking some more pieces as the game goes on. Fast forward, and the game board looks already thinner. She's got her concentrating frown on, in serious business mode. The guy is decent, even despite the rashness.]

[titties]

... Hey, no bad, Hanako-chan. You're a lot better at this then I thought. [ Though, he's not struggling as much as he was before. But he won't admit that he was at all if asked... ]

[burntviolet]

I have to admit you're very good at this, too. You gave me some hard time on certain turns. It shows you have experience. [She speaks without moving her eyes from the board.

[titties]

Hey, thanks. I had a pretty tough opponent to play against in the past. I wouldn't be this good without her. [ normally he would say that it was all skill!! or something overconfident like that, but with beato, he never really has too much trouble giving her credit when its due. despite his grin, he never really takes his eyes off the board, either ]

[burntviolet]

She must be a real genius, then.

... Per chance, are you referring to your wife? Because she's come here to have a match as well.

[titties]

... Yeah, I mean Beato. We used to be rivals, and... the game we played was kind of like chess.

How did that go, anyways? She probably didn't go easy on you at all.

[burntviolet]

She didn't. Well... that match confused me, honestly. Her strategy was pretty sloppy, but I always felt like she's had the upper hand the whole time.

[titties]

Yeah, that sounds like her. ... I can give you some tips on how to approach her the next time you play against her. She could use a loss or two, anyways.
