I derive little pleasure from chess. It is a game of wit and strategy, and I'm afraid with anyone this much lower than a god - it'd be dull.

I'm not terribly good for dissection. Unless you are so terribly extraordinary you can comprehend the pure energy. Or unless your life is so dull you desire to examine clay.

[snarkoftheabyss]

I expected you'd pry. Oh, you need not worry. I can see pure energy quite well, as I'm sure you know. But, your waveforms are vastly different, I imagine. Lovely, I'm all the more curious to see.

Oh, come now Thylas. You know all about me, I'm sure. I could at least be a droll little quick thrill. If I can reverse-engineer human beings, I can play a decent game of chess.

[thylas]

Something like a firefly to those who can not comprehend an all-knowing, all-powerful being.

Now, now, Jade - should I pretend to be surprised by the moves you make while playing?

[snarkoftheabyss]

I've always loved fireflies, the children flock outside when it's summer. It's so quiet, you can study for hours without a single interruption.

I'd be insulted if you did, Thylas. I would expect no less.

[thylas]

You like fireflies for their ability to get you away from children?

Simply a chance to find out how my mind works.

[snarkoftheabyss]

...Is there any other reason to admire them besides superficial beauty of photo-luminescence during warm summer nights? Please, I could replicate the effect with basic fonic arts, create hundreds of the little things with fomicry, or just as soon shut the little brats up myself.

It kills two birds with one stone, really. What's not to like?

[thylas]

How hostile. How boring.

Plenty.

[snarkoftheabyss]

Thylas, I'm hurt. I'm only hostile when it's absolutely necessary, come now. I love children, really. Children like Fon Master Ion, and Tear. They were dears, really. Anise, too. She was so cute with her little plans.

...Just not children like Luke. They repulse me. I'm sure a god like you can understand how irksome it is to see such offspring. Miserable, grubby little spoiled brats with no sense. The little children that don't appreciate anything and expect the world at their feet. You must see it in humans, it's everywhere.

[thylas]

I'm sure, Jade, I'm very sure.

[snarkoftheabyss]

I knew it. A god would surely know of humanities more irksome traits.

But, still. Chess, Thylas~?

[thylas]

Chess.

[snarkoftheabyss]

Lovely. Thank you, Thylas. I promise not to be too much of a bore.

[thylas]

Of course.
