1st Curious Thought [Video]
Oh ah, hello and how do you do? My name is Alice Liddell, it's nice to meet you, if we haven't before!
His majesty, King Turgon, and I were hoping to begin a chess club! And I would like to invite anyone who enjoys playing or would like to learn to play to join us! We're... still figuring out the where and the when but I suppose we're trying to see how many people would like to join us!
And oh ah, all of the gods who might wish to play are welcome to join us too! It's not just for us... the ones who arrived here, that is.
Everyone is invited to join, there will be proper tea and biscuits at our first meeting... whenever and wherever that may be.
While... there is a good deal about fighting and the sorts, the mind has to be just as sharp as the body, and they say chess is perfect for that!

What’s chess?

But he can’t claim that he doesn’t have time for games and play here.]
The game ends once the king is captured?
[He sounds glum about it.]
Where I come from, you move your armies about on a map to decide how best to fight an enemy. You know that your cavalry can go further and faster than your infantry — that is, a soldier moves easier if they’re on a horse than if they’re on the ground. Is it like that?
no subject
That's right, it's checkmate when you capture the king. But you can always play again and again, I certainly do. The most powerful piece is the queen. She can move as many spaces in any direction she chooses, no other piece can move the way she can. If a pawn reaches the other side of the board, you can turn it into a queen as well... I suppose you can promote a pawn into any other piece but why wouldn't you want another queen on the board?

Is it similar to Acorn Drafts?

Chess? You mean the human game with the black and white board and the little hoofbeast pieces, right?

Who says chess is perfect for that?
[ It's said with such a perfect deadpan that he might be completely serious. Might. ]

[ Again, still spoken in a deadpan, unmoved. ]
Although I'm not disinterested. Tell me more of your plans.

Is it some sort of game..?

[ Because Alice is offering so sweetly, for one, and since she figures there might be a lot of people here from places where they have never heard of the game. Like her own world, for one. ]

[Fair is fair. They can teach each other. And bonus that he gets to keep an eye on her during that at least. While trying not to be too obvious about feeling sort of responsible in his own way for her.]
