What the fuck is going on here?

[Here you have Freddie Trumper, out of his native habit of planet earth. He’s used to travelling, but this totally different. You don’t just fall asleep and wake up somewhere else.]

This was some commie’s doing, wasn’t it? I knew it. [He paces around a bit.] I didn’t know you guys had the technology for a stupid place ( Read more... )

[Chess? :| Coop doesn't like chess anymore, but he can help out.]

There's no way to leave that we know of. You're in a different world and the pony is a natural part of it. It's your partner while you're here, which might be a while.

[This brought to you in a voice that's told this kind of thing before. Pleasant tour-guide voice.]

And who are you supposed to be?

blacklodged April 12 2011, 22:30:59 UTC

Another person who's stuck here. There are quite a few of us.

usedcheckmate April 12 2011, 22:35:38 UTC

Stuck here. So I'm not the only one in this commie gulag.

No chessboards in this primitive place?

There had better. It would be just like Soviets to toss me in here and not even give me a something to practise with.

... Yeah, no idea what this "chess" thing is, but you won't be getting back to it any time soon. Almost all of us were in the middle of various important things, but here we are. [HI. You're reminding her of a certain formerly spoiled rotten prince striking Katara as someone with a big ego. ARE YOU? HUH?]

The plus side is that when or if you eventually get back home everything will be exactly the way you left it.

Re: [Video] usedcheckmate April 13 2011, 01:14:34 UTC

You don't know what chess is? Are you serious?

[Oh, bet on it. His ego is king-sized.]

How's that possible?

[Video] usedwaterpulse April 13 2011, 01:16:57 UTC

Simple. We don't have anything called "chess" on my world. I'm going to guess that it's some kind of game or match, like Pai Sho, or a duel, like an Agni Kai.

Re: [Video] usedcheckmate April 13 2011, 01:20:51 UTC

Not only that, it's the best game ever created.

Oh, please calm down! I promise you won't miss your match! [Comes a pleading tone. Someone does not like seeing you so upset!] And, um, your horse isn't on fire! Not really. It's a fire type Pokemon. You should still be able to touch it, as long as it feels safe around you. Not that I'm suggesting it shouldn't feel safe!!!

video usedcheckmate April 13 2011, 01:18:27 UTC

How can you be sure? This is serious - though it'd probably stir up the reporters up if I'm missing. Hmm.

It's clearly on fire. I'm not going to just experiment like that.

Video little_umeboshi April 13 2011, 01:28:07 UTC

Well, one of my friends was here for over a month, but he wasn't missing back home, even though I only just got here almost a month ago myself. I think that someone said that time stops when you arrive. At least, that's how it was explained to me! I know it doesn't really seem all that possible...

[Tohru shakes her head insistantly, but doesn't look upset or anything.]

No, no! It won't hurt you! I used to have one too! They're called Ponyta, they'll even let you ride on their back! You can point your camera at it and it will tell you all about it! Really!

Re: Video usedcheckmate April 13 2011, 01:40:29 UTC

Hocus pocus. Something like that can't even be possible. Anyway, if I lose the match because I couldn't practise, it's not my fault.

Oh, I can ride it, can I?

[He touches the ponyta reluctantly, and is pleased to discover that it does not, in fact, hurt. Weirder and weirder.]. I bet that could shave some time off my trip. To wherever I have to go next.

... A chess game?

[WEEEEOOOOO WEEEEEEOOOOOO Heather's nerd-radar is going off. She arches a brow at the screen.]

[Video] usedcheckmate April 14 2011, 11:15:05 UTC

Yes, a chess game. A big event, you know. Half the world watching.

[You, missy, are a philistine.]

[Video] foolishwren April 14 2011, 20:45:34 UTC

[SNERK.]

Buddy, if you think half the world is interested in a game of chess, you got another thing coming.

[She's ~*~super polite~*~, too.]

[Video] usedcheckmate April 14 2011, 21:40:45 UTC

You mean the the huge audience and buzzing reporters don't actually care about the match? My mistake.
