Higurashi aftermath

[sharpasafawkes]

[IN OUR LAST EPISODE Shaun and Cesare had a little trip down to the labs, if by "trip" we mean "a magical adventure full of torture-filled antics". Needless to say there's one historian laid up in a hospital bed, more or less asleep and bandaged like you wouldn't believe.]

*climbs back onto the bed and starts setting up the board and pieces*

Why? I want to be white, you can be black.

[sharpasafawkes]

[waddling over to his side and using his beak to set up some himself]

You just want to go first.

[maleborgia]

Of course! *quickly finishes up and then starts helping Shaun*

[sharpasafawkes]

[laughing a bit]

Taking advantage of a poor injured man are you, that's terrible you know.

[maleborgia]

If you're really so injured, I'll help you move your pieces.

[sharpasafawkes]

But not let me go first? You are a brat.

[continuing to set up]

[maleborgia]

You should let me go first anyway because I'm younger than you.

[sharpasafawkes]

Age before vitality, I'm going first.

[maleborgia]

I was born before you! *pulling this card again*

[sharpasafawkes]

Yes, but consider this a lesson in not getting your way all the time.

[maleborgia]

I don't need a lesson in that. I already know that!

[sharpasafawkes]

Then you wouldn't be making such a fuss, would you?

[maleborgia]

*pouting now :<*

[sharpasafawkes]

You do that when I'm right, you know.

[maleborgia]

*still pouting, but...* Fine. Go first.

[sharpasafawkes]

[thinking about it, and then taking a black piece]

Since you did so well there...

[maleborgia]

*his whole face lights up* Really?

[sharpasafawkes]

Absolutely, I'm not going to punish you for making the right choice, now am I?

[maleborgia]

*yayyyy going first, moves one of his pawns*

Which do you want to move? I'll place it for you!

[sharpasafawkes]

[pawn in beak, and setting it down so it's right in front of the tiny's piece]

I think I can manage that.

[maleborgia]

*Very, very quickly becoming absorbed in the game. It's clear that even from this age he has an eye for strategy, even if it's not as refined as it will be later.*

[sharpasafawkes]

[As time goes on he stops trying to win and more trying to teach, nodding slightly when the tiny does something right, and shaking his head a when he does something wrong]

[maleborgia]

*enjoying himself! and trying hard to remember all of the advice being given*

[sharpasafawkes]

[nudging his queen forward in a move that might seem idiotic, but sets things up for later.]

[maleborgia]

*curious :|a*

Why did you do that? You should have put it there instead.
