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.]

[maleborgia]

*concentrating and trying hard to win through

not that he really has many tricks up his sleeve.*

[sharpasafawkes]

[yeah when he's really trying he's actually pretty good]

[maleborgia]

*completely oblivious to the passing of time as they play. once it's finished, expect him to pester Shaun for another round*

[sharpasafawkes]

[Playing to win now, but more than a little happily flopped anto the bed]

[maleborgia]

*reaches over and gives Shaun pettings happily after he takes one of his pieces*

[sharpasafawkes]

[Leaning into that, closing his eyes. Pet me tiny met meee.]

[maleborgia]

*you can get pettings for the entire time it takes me to figure out my next move plus your next go every time you don't do something that puts you at an advantage in this game.*

[sharpasafawkes]

[DONE. ...that doesn't stop me from winning, you know.]

[maleborgia]

*one of his pieces gets taken :(

stops petting to sit back and examine the board more closely*

[sharpasafawkes]

[...my pettings :(]

[maleborgia]

*no, clearly you are too much of a distraction. putting his chin in his hands while he studies the pieces in play*

[sharpasafawkes]

[...but the pettings were distracting me too. I WILL ONLY PLAY HARDER THEN]

[maleborgia]

*WE ARE AT AN IMPASSE /o\*

[sharpasafawkes]

[Waiting for him to make his move, already mapping out something]

[maleborgia]

*oh, you and your many more years of experience

thinks he has figured something out and moves one of his pieces, smiling proudly*

[sharpasafawkes]

[I believe the correct term is "lol no"]

[maleborgia]

*...wait, what*

[sharpasafawkes]

[Continuing on his path of destructionnnnnn]

[maleborgia]

*getting onto his hands and knees, watching with great interest and unable to really do anything to prevent it*

[sharpasafawkes]

[Approving sort of nod as he just. Keeps letting the entire setup fall into place. The board's starting to look a bit more empty now.]

[maleborgia]

*oh so interesting

and also frustrating

but the interesting kind of makes up for it*

[sharpasafawkes]

[Makes a dumb move on purpose, just to see what the tiny does]

[maleborgia]

*looks at it for a while*

Is that part of your strategy?

[sharpasafawkes]

I can't answer that, you've got to find out for yourself.

[maleborgia]

*...cautiously picks off a different piece, not willing to put anything near it*
