Building 1 Cafeteria
Interacting with: @Expendable Qaymu
Grumbling at whatever was getting Borkus' goat, Velvet hmmph'd and trudged back the way she'd came. She'd go back up to her room, she thought. Play some video games. The fridge was busted, but the freezer might still work. She might still have some ice cream left in there that hadn't melted out of the carton. If she was lucky. Throwing her head back exaggeratedly, she sighed. Or, more accurately, she directly and rather loudly groaned out the word: "SIGH!"
Where else was she supposed to get blood icing at this hour? Or at any hour, really? That stuff wasn't exactly easy to come by, especially not how Borkus made it.
Dropping her head again, she actually sighed this time, a little ruefully. She wasn't really in the mood to walk all the way up back to her room right after coming down here to throw herself into video games. Maybe she'd watch a movie or something...?
...Nah. Still wasn't feeling it.
Then, out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Qaymu, and her eyebrow shot up. In front of him was a chessboard, with all the pieces set up, and nobody was there with him. A synapse or two sparked, and a cocky little grin came across her face. How long had it been since she'd played actual chess, with an actual person right across from her and not over the internet or against an AI? A long time. A real long time. Long enough she couldn't remember, really. A hundred fifty years? Two hundred? Three? A long, long time.
So she trotted over and casually slung herself down in the chair. Then, before an objection could be formed, she spun the chessboard so she had white, picked up a piece, and set it down with a sharp clack, fanged grin still wide on her face and a laugh in her voice.
"Pawn to E4."
