HL50 Prompt - Game

[idontlikegravy]

It feels like ages since I posted one of these (the HL/FF one was a bit of a cheat really). Anyhoo, we all know that Darius had a chess game with Duncan, but he also used to play against Richie too....

Monks and Bishops

“Do you really want to put that knight there?” Darius asked amiably.
“Why? Am I missing something?”
“No, no, but I can get mate in

I really enjoyed this, and could hear Darius very well. I wonder what kinds of conversations he would have had with Richie if he had been around after Richie's immortality had been triggered.

That would be something I'd love to see. I'm sure Richie would have matured quickly with such a wise and steady hand to guide him.

Perhaps if Darius hadn't died then the whole Archangel thing might have been avoided - Richie might not have been so hot-headed and Duncan might have had someone else who believed him.

Ah, what if? The eternal question. *g*

sweet.

It would be interesting to know what might have become of Richie, given a few centuries to mature. :-P

Thank you.
Yeah it would be interesting, shame that Archangel happened really, it's a pity we can't just pretend it never happened. ;p
Well hopefully my take on an older Rich will appear shortly once I can finish the next part of my Firefly cross. *grin*
