Up for a game?

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.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Um....

This is Lysunder. Nice to uh, to meet you Ein.

Statement:It is pleasurable to communicate with another intelligent being.
Lysunder: Scanning network...
Scanning Completed: You are the Alternian Troll who was recently transformed into a winged-canine, yes?

Not something you uh, often get to experience? Scanning ne- uh, oh, yes I am. Signless, you're not like any barkbeast I've ever spoken to. Mind telling me about yourself?

Statement: Two-way communication, no. User: Edward understands at times, or at least understands well enough. More then most, anyways.

Laughing: She is quite abnormal for a human

Loading: Information on Subject: Self:

Subject is first successful prototype of the experimental Datadog-Program. Datadog-Program provided subject with advanced state of intelligence as a means for infiltration of Specific-Targets-of-Interest. Mental advancement is combination of both genetic and cybernetic alteration through application various methods of applied sciences.

Subject was stolen from the Datadog-Program Laboratory by ISSP Prisoner: Abdul Hakim. Subject escaped from captor, and joined with User: Spike. Datadog-Program Scientists were captured by police. Datadog-Program: Illegal.

Program shut down, stayed with User: Spike. Crew of Bounty-Hunter-Ship: The Bebop eventually joined by User: Ed. Subject opted to follow User: Ed when User left Bounty-Hunter-Ship: The Bebop. Subject has stayed with User: Ed since. Subject and User have recently entered Unknown-Spacial-Location: Vatheon.

[Lysunder might not see it, but Ein is panting happily and still wagging his stubby little tail.]

Uh. Ooookay...

Apologies: I did not intend to overwhelm you with information.

Reflective: I do not really get to communicate directly. I am usually inhibited from such things by this form.

Admission: The prospect of direct communication is quite exciting.

Ah, well I'm usually open for it whenever I start a commune, i really like keeping in touch with the animal life here in Vatheon.

Relief: Then it will be good to communicate with you in the future as well.

Question: So you can speak with all kinds of animal life then? I assume this has to do with your being a Troll? Your species bears many different and unique abilities that make them hard to classify at times.

Animals to a degree. I uh, I can't commune with humans though, even though they're technically animals I guess? But I can talk to a pretty wide range of things. Ah, yeah, have you met other trolls then?

Noted: Thank you for the information.

Affirmation: The user has interacted with a number of Alternian trolls during her stay here, Subject has by proxy. User has interacted with the following according to records: The Grand Highblood, Expatriate Darkleer, Sollux Captor, Karkat Vantas, Kanaya Maryam, and Gamzee Makara.

Oh, so a few then. Yeah, a few of those have some abilities. Wait, what do you mean by user?

User Designation: Edward
Alias: Radical Edward

Definition: User is the current being in charge of the Subject. Usually responsible for programming, fine-tuning, and general maintenance for the prototype Subject.

Statement: Current user goes beyond standard requirements for general user. User: Edward is a friend, and caregiver. In traditional Earth Terms, she would be the Subject's owner. User, however does not believe she owns me. She allows the Subject to follow her out of it's own desire.

In charge, right. Mind if I take a look?

Courteous: By all means. She is currently waiting for someone to initiate a game of chess with her. Subject is nearby her location.

Current Location: North-North-Eastern side of Central Plaza.

Uh, chess? Yeeesh... He's on his way though but- Not sure if I'll uh, put up much a fight in chess, better when it's on a real battle field.

Assuagement: Subject assumes you need to play her in a game. It is simply what she is currently distracted with. User is quite enamored with the game.

Really intent on playing then, huh, seems like a uh, really willful girl.

Acquiesce: At times, yes. User is, actually, quite distractible and flighty most of the time. Certain activities hone her attention to a laser focus, however. Chess is one of those activities.

Conciliatory: Do not misunderstand my comments though, Subject is quite loyal to User: Ed.

No, it's all right, I'm uh, I'm not here to question any loyalties. [Really, he's not, he'd never get between an animal and it's troll/human. Shit you don't do, right there.]

[He's getting closer to the plaza though, not flying, trying to still not do that.]

Amiable Question: So Lysunder, did you enjoy your time spent as a winged-canine?

Statement: Subject is trying to gather and sort information involving the so-called 'curses' enacted upon visitors to this place.

Heh, uh, actually yeah! Rather would be myself though, nothing better.

Curses? There's not a lot to know, but a heck of a lot can happen during them.

Observation: That is good. I have noticed that while the curses can cause any number of near-impossible feats, a lot of them seem to be relatively benign. Subject is unsure of the reasoning why, so then more data is required.

Vexed: If for nothing else, to help keep the user away from trouble as to the best of my abilities. Her reactions can be as difficult to predict as the curses.

Some kind of, testing, or something? I don't know a lot, not really the guy to ask, sorry.

She sounds pretty fun, can't wait to meet the both of you. So, barkbeast, and she's- from the looks of her- a human?

Resigned: I am sure It will take gathering copious amounts of data before Subject makes any headway in that matter.

Confirmation: Yes, User is a human.

Surprised Question: Summoner Lysunder used 'from the looks of' would it be correct to assume you have arrived?

[The corgi starts looking around the area.]

Not just yet, hope you didn't mind, looking through those eyes of yours.
