For future reference, I don't participate in Christmas, so I hope that none of you think I owe you anything

I'll try not to offend in the future, then.

[vonperfect]

... I'm not offended...

[fadetonigredo]

Seems I'm jumping to assumptions yet again. My apologies, Miss von Karma.

[vonperfect]

The conclusion was hasty, but the line of reasoning followed. Don't apologize.

[fadetonigredo]

As you wish.

[vonperfect]

... I am somewhat perplexed with what to do now, however.

I don't actually know how to play this game...

[fadetonigredo]

*handwave of an explanation*

It seems rather simple, but when it gets down to the scoring aspect, it's very dependent on one's ability to think far enough ahead.

[vonperfect]

Hmm, I see. Are you skilled in other games centered around foresight?

[fadetonigredo]

Do you have one in mind?

[vonperfect]

I also received a chess set.

[fadetonigredo]

Is that so? It's been a while since I played last, but I'm certainly up for a challenge.

*pauses for a second as an odd expression passes over his face*

...hmm. Maybe it hasn't been as long as I thought.

[vonperfect]

Is something the matter?

[fadetonigredo]

No, not particularly. I just suddenly recalled the face of a man who liked to have a game of chess with me over talks. I'm afraid it caught me a little off guard.

The memories can come on quickly at times. It can be somewhat disconcerting. Congratulations upon remembering something though, I suppose. Have you remembered anything else?

[fadetonigredo]

The memory that I'm a father was particularly jarring.

[vonperfect]

... that would be rather jarring. Son or daughter?
