Up for a game?

[waywardtomato]

Who: Radical Edward and her dog Ein, plus anyone who wants to join.
When: Current
Where: Plaza
Style: Starting Action, will follow prose if you prefer.
Status: Open-tastic

[A curious sight will greet the visitors of the bubble. A scrawny young girl sitting at a small table in the plaza. The table has two seats, which she is currently occupying one of. On the table is a peculiar fish-themed chess set.]

[The board is set up, but with no moves currently made on it. The black pieces are facing towards the girl. The chair across from her, in front of the white pieces, is currently empty. She is staring at the board, waiting.]

[Next to her, on the ground, is a brown welsh corgi. He seems to be occupying himself by exploring the immediate area around the plaza, but for the most part, sticks within sight distance of the girl at the table.]

[Hi, Ed, I hope you don't mind a Bianca taking note of this interesting sight. At first she stares at Ed before staring back at the board. It seemed like she was waiting for someone which she wasn't going to say anything just yet. However, it seemed like she wanted someone to move a chest piece.]

[waywardtomato]

[Waiting indeed she was, yet nobody seems to showing up. Edward continued to stare at the board, not even showing any outward hints of recognizing that someone was nearby. Ed's eyes stayed locked on the board, staring directly at the white pieces. It seemed she might be trying to get them to move through sheer force of will.]

[shirleyhopeful]

[If it's like that, Shirley continues to stare at the chest board before making a move. She knew how chest worked but she never played a game of it in her life. It might as well be a good time to start.

She moved one of the smaller fish chest piece forward]

[waywardtomato]

That's the starting buzzer, and they're off!

[The second the piece is moved, Edward speaks, emerging from her apparent trance; a huge, goofy smile coming over her face. She briefly flashes the smile towards her opponent, and then is back to looking at the board.]

[ She examines it briefly, then Edward follows suit, moving one of her own smaller fish pieces forward. Only after she has moved her own piece, will she take her eyes off the board.]

Hello, new person! Edward is pleased to meet you!

[shirleyhopeful]

[What starting buzzer? Oh well, at least that managed to make her snap out of that weird trance she was in. The moment she saw Ed's smile, Shirley couldn't help but find herself smiling right back.

Not sure what else to do, she moved the previous piece forward once more]

It's nice to meet you too, I'm Shirley Fennes!

[waywardtomato]

[Edward watches the duplicated move; same goofy smile still plastered on her face.]

Edward is happy to have someone play with! Everyone else kept walking on by. Oh-la-la.

How much Chess has the Shirley-person played before?

{Well, she won't be getting company just yet. But Ein certainly will be getting some degree of company with that tap tap at his mind and sudden words that aren't.... words? It's more like a nudging influence, but it takes the form of words for our fourth wall convenience.]

Heeeyyy, new guy, haven't uh, gotten acquainted with ya yet.

[Commune]

[waywardtomato]

[A minor shock then, for both parties. Summoner will notice that at a closer glance with his 'mind' that something is a little off with the pooch. He bears the touch alteration upon his mind, the feeling of human science.]

[The Corgi stops immediately in his tracks, head tilted curiously just a little to the side.]

Curious: Detecting unknown form of communication. Unknown entity status appears non-hostile.

Response: Greetings.

[Commune]

[rebull]

[The commune stops for a moment and Summoner just kind of.... sits.]

[What.]

[He's half tempted to just, put whoever this barkbeast is in the same box where Bugs is in- the never to commune with again box because dear god what- But he comes back because well, he didn't nearly seem as complicated as a blasted "cartoon character". So, enjoy feeling that presence in your head again, Ein.]

Uh, yeah, heh, non-hostile here. Just seeing who the new guy is is all. Gotta name, pooch?

[Commune]

[waywardtomato]

[Ein had stayed put when the the strange pressure in his head left. Offering maybe just a little whine to nobody in particular. Then it returned and his short little tail starts to wag.]

[If anything the set up draws the attention of a curious clown. He had just come here to visit the plaza and touch the coral, but the unusual sight easily distracts him from his original goal.

He shuffles closer, eying the chest set. You'd think, with how the sgrub had such a chess-theme going on he'd recognize what he'd looking at, but this is Gamzee and chest ain't exactly his cuppa faygo.]

Mind telling a motherfucker what's the haps here, dude?

1/2

[waywardtomato]

[Her staring contest with the board slowly comes to an end when she hears him talk. Her eyes take in his sight and for a second she just stares at him.]

2/2

[waywardtomato]

[It is soon replaced by a look of recognition and then... A huuuge smile.]

The new person-troll is like a tinier Mr.Such-Hair-Person!

[420]

[He gives a blink at that, a small furrow of his brows.]

Uh... I ain't get it?

[You'd think his ancestor would spring to mind more, but the truth is, Gamzee likes to pretend like he doesn't exist. It makes things for more easier. Dealing with problems? Haha no way, lets just ignore them until they go away.]

[waywardtomato]

He is like you but larger and grumpier, yes he is. But not like Mr. Grumpy-bumps-grumpy. More swear-y.

[Edward strikes a post that The Grand Highblood might strike, and tries making her voice deeper, and mimic the larger trolls voice, which... does not work the best.]

"The noise is motherfucking unnecessary, motherfucker."

[She appeared to be parroting something she had head from him recently.]

[420]

[Ah yes, that does narrow it down to just one dude who it could all be. Not that Gamzee'd rather think about him. It's so much easier to just pretend he is not there.]

Would rather not all speak on that motherfucker, if it was being all the motherfuckin' same to you, bro.

[waywardtomato]

Okie-dokes, Mister Facepaint! Edward was getting away from herself anyways.

[She flops back down onto her seat.]

She was sitting and waiting for the game to start. But nobody has come to play with Ed, oh-la-la.

Does Mister Facepaint know about Chess? or is not a troll-y game?

[crabbygenius]

"Hello, what's this?" The chess set and more importantly the girl sitting with it both gain Washu's attention. It doesn't help that the board looks inviting to the petite scientist either~.

"Hope you don't mind if I take a seat, it's been awhile since I've played this game."

[waywardtomato]

Edward's eyes barely leave the board, to see the pink-haired scientist standing there. Maybe if she just keeps staring, it will start to work.

"Hello, Shu-Shu..."

Then she was back to staring at the chess board. Edward was certainly being focused for once.

[crabbygenius]

It was kind of surprising to see her this focused compared to how she normally was. Washu observes the board for a moment before moving one of her pawns forward.

"Shall we start?"

[waywardtomato]

From the second the piece moves from its original square and is set down, A slow smile spreads across Edwards face. See? All she had to do was stare long enough and a game would start! She spares a better glance at her opponent, the smile on her face back to what Washu might be better used to.

"Ladies and Gentleman, The gaaAAAaames have begun! Ehehehe."

Ed carefully examines the board before moving one of her own pawns.

[crabbygenius]

"So it has." A simple move for a simple move. Now lets see how well Ed can keep up with her. Washu moves another piece before relinquishing the board back to her hyper opponent.

"Do you play this game often Ed?"

[waywardtomato]

"Not often enough, Shu-Shu!"

Edwards swings one of her knights out into the board.

"Last time was on the Bebop."
