fourth ♘ video [forward dated to three days from now]

Sep 03, 2011 23:42

[The video cuts onto a chess board. Chipped and missing a piece of two that have been momentarily replaced with scraps of items, the board is set up a threatening battle of black having the King cornered.]

Bit boring playing it like this, but it gets the job done.

[The video-feed moves to now show the speaker and Ron's got the smug sort of smirk on ( Read more... )

[Hello, Ron Weasley. Sarah Jane takes a moment to have her indulgent smile before she turns on the feed, looking much more herself.]

It's been a while since I've played chess, but a match would be lovely. I'm afraid I only know the 'classic' version of the game, though, not your version.

Been ages for me too. [Pausing.] There another sort? Mine's just a bit different, is all.

[Video] got2haveasmith September 5 2011, 03:26:03 UTC

I've never played the sort where the pieces move on their own. My set is usually intact at the close of the match.

[That certainly makes him shoot up in alarm.] How do you know about Wizard's chess?

[Right, right. Can't go talking about fictional universes to people from them. Fortunately, she's used to covering for things.]

I'm an investigative journalist by trade. It's amazing the things you stumble across when researching a story.

[Too bad he's suspicious of this and his dad works at the ministry.] We're not supposed to play Wizard's Chess in front of muggles and if they find out the ministry erases their memory. Dunno how you're managing finding out about it.

[She gives him an innocent, enigmatic smile.]

A journalist can't reveal her sources.

But, your ministry probably hadn't gotten round to me yet before I ended up here, then, if that's how it works. Or they aren't as thorough as they'd like the people to believe. Goodness knows the 'muggle' government is full of civil servants like that.

[He so isn't at trusting her.] The ministry may be full of prat, but dad's told me loads about it. Seems odd you'd get through the cracks. [Of course the past year he wouldn't put it past them with the behavior, but still.]

[Video] got2haveasmith September 6 2011, 00:04:39 UTC

Odd, but not unheard of. The things I could say I've seen, if it weren't for the Official Secrets Act, you wouldn't believe.

And also, there is time to consider. What year is it for you? It's 2009, when I'm from.

[A decade or so after his time, assuming that his world follows the timeline of the stories she's read.]

[Snorting, Ron paused a moment.] The official what?

It was March of 1998. Keep forgetting how mental this place is.

[Video] got2haveasmith September 11 2011, 01:58:59 UTC

The Official Secrets Act. Passed by the British government to keep certain details from public knowledge, for the safety of the citizenry. When I was younger, not too much older than you, I'd bet, I was attached to a military organisation for a time. Made a lot of good contacts that way.

[Thought so!]

Perhaps your ministry's policies have changed in the last decade.

[Video] alwaysreturned September 13 2011, 02:47:57 UTC

Msmall>[He has no idea what that means except that it sounds like the Secrecy Acts for the wizards.] Wizards aren't so thick as to be that noticeable.

[B|]

[That earns a snort.]

Way it's going I doubt it.

[Video] got2haveasmith September 14 2011, 00:36:41 UTC

Given the number of things that UNIT somehow covered up that should have been noticeable and commented upon by the general populace, nothing surprises me on that front.

[How many people had watched the Loch Ness Monster swim up the Thames, and then 'forgotten' or assumed they were hallucinating? How many cover-ups had she herself initiated since joining forces with Mr. Smith?]

People believe what they want to believe, often times whether or not its the truth. Unlike most people, I tend to look beyond the easily-explainable. It's what makes me so good at my job.

And a decade is a long time. A lot can happen in ten years, believe me. Just because something's leaning one way now doesn't mean it won't lean the other later on.

You sound a bit like someone else I know. [Because damn Hermione and her refusing to accept the easiest answer and not just going with the simple one.]

[Ron shook his head with a frown.]

Still doubt it. Can't know too much about my world, can you? Even with working on it things keep getting loads worse.

[Video] It's all good! got2haveasmith September 18 2011, 20:31:25 UTC

[She smiles to herself at that.]

Not much, no. I know it exists, and I know about chess. I tend to deal with aliens more than wizards.

[...Assuming wizards don't have them, Ron gets a perplexed expression.]

...The bloody hell is an alien?
