[ my inbox is so full of vax'ildan. i hate this (no)
in any case, they're exploring together, having a look about at the brand new locations and have arrived at the one, the only, game room with it's soothing interior and tidily stacked games and such. the computer in the corner hums softly.

anyway we need 100 threads so!! yeah, here's vax. he looks at the chess set, starts to make a face...
... and then smiles. ] You know what, Percy? Sure. Let's play a game.
[ local man is confident for no fucking reason. he grabs the back of the chair and rikers over it for no reason, settling down in a mishmash of limbs on the side with the black pieces. ]
[ oh! is that like a weird kind of half smile percy is indulging him with? yes. because like, nothing makes u bond more than being stuck in a fucking weird multicolor-possibly-alive-and-sentient world that may or may not want to kill you.
anyways. he's going to sit on the side with the white pieces, snorting as he sets them up properly. ]
Typical, of course you'd choose black.

vax will! also move a piece. it is not a bad move, actually? wow. this continues for a few minutes. it's almost like he knows what he's doing. what is happening. ]
[ not derogatory, more curious than anything. percy eyes the first few moves vax makes, though he moves his own pieces with confidence in turn. he's doing what he does best--scanning for mistakes, for moves made in error, but he can't seem to find a single opening that vax's brain may have left him.
