...I remember being on the chess team briefly, during my first year of secondary school. I excelled at it. At each of our meetings there would be practice tourneys among the members and interested outsiders, and I maintained an unblemished winning streak. I guess it's ironic that I left it because of that. I grew bored. I convinced myself I was too

[Light isn't feeling too hot right now either.]

If you ever want to refine your game, I'd happily offer you myself as an opponent.

[sequincy]

Ah. I didn't know you played, Yagami-san.

Chess was the simplest challenge, and I had an excellent challenger at hand. Sadly it's impossible to play from the grave, so I no longer have anyone to play with.

...I saw that you had lost someone. You have my condolences. [sincerely. He may not always comment on posts, but he tries to read them all]

I would welcome a game with you.

You could always start a club here.

[sequincy]

I could. But clubs are harder to maintain outside of a school setting, when there are so many other more time constraints to work around. It would be frivolous.

[illusionomicon]

Certainly, if you prefer to make excuses for yourself no one can force you.

[sequincy]

They aren't excuses. Time is a legitimate concern for the people here, when the Darkness is so limiting for many.

I didn't say it would stop me. I was only bringing up possible concerns. [here, have a grudging acknowledgment of your point, Zexion]

[asano_san]

Really?!

[Oh, Ishida, he's not even going to make fun of you for being in the chess club. That's how happy he is to have a "not getting stabbed in a shelter" option.]

[audio; private; somewhat hackable]

[sequincy]

Yes, really. But only temporarily. You'll still need to put in the effort to find and keep a decent job.

[audio; private; I'm sure it's hackable because Keigo could barely be bothered to make it private]

[asano_san]

I already have a job walking Kurosaki-san's dog!

[audio; private; hackable]

[sequincy]

That's not enough to pay a rent.

I play chess. I used to play it with my Professor back at home, and sometimes with a few other people.

If you want a match, or, ya know, to hang or something...? I'm not that far away. I need to get out more, anyway. I'm startin' to think none of the X-Men are ever gonna show up.

[Voice]

[sequincy]

I'm surprised at the interest my offer is getting. Yes, I'd enjoy a game.

I know what you mean about waiting for allies. But then I doubt I could ever wish this place on them.

[Voice]

[thelittlestbub]

Oh, I don't wish them here, but at the same time, I miss them and wish I could see them again, ya know?

Anytime you want a game and I'm not working, I don't mind at all. I'm really sorry I haven't had a chance to get over to see you yet, but there's been a lot of work going on.

[Voice]

[sequincy]

Yes, of course.

Ah, there's no rush. I keep busy with work during the day and rescuing those trapped in the Darkness at night.

[heavenly_earth]

Assuredly, there's challenges enough in this world to tend to- those curiosities that test both perception and will.

[sequincy]

Of course. I'd hardly say I'm without them. I've just been wondering if I'm out of practice in games of strategy.

[heavenly_earth]

It seems there are several interested in testing that capacity. Perhaps you'll meet an opponent that will surprise you.

[sequincy]

Oh, I'm sure I will.
