[Glances up at him while holding the white queen.]

Interested in a game...?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Only if you're interested in adding stakes.

[thinkoutsidethebox]

I'd never refuse.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Excellent.

How does a question answered for every piece lost sound?

[thinkoutsidethebox]

That's perfectly acceptable.

Will you be taking white, then...?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Moving to that side of the board and taking a seat]

Obviously.

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Is it obvious...?

[She doesn't really seem to need an answer to that, though, and she sets the white queen back in place before resetting the black pieces on her side.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Do you think differently?

[He doesn't even take too much time to think as he moves one pawn up two spaces - the epitome of a standard opening move in chess]

Maybe your observation skills had gone down a notch or two since you've been here, detective.

[thinkoutsidethebox]

[she moves a pawn of her own]

I think that you're certainly willing to play the "black" side on occasion.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[And another]

Only when there's a purpose.

Can you say the same for yourself?

[thinkoutsidethebox]

How rude. I'm the detective, after all. I use the truth to triumph over the darkness of lies and witches.

[she moves her pawn another step, immediately into danger]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Doesn't take the bait as he sets up another pawn in formation]

Yes. I know all about your day job.

Do half-truths not count as lies in your book?

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Just because I care about the truth doesn't mean I have to serve it to people on a platter.

[shifts her knight]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Now he'll take her pawn]

So then that also has a purpose.

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Of course.

[just tilts her head at his capture]

What's your question, then?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Who's the most useful person in this place?

[thinkoutsidethebox]

[immediately:]

You.

[moves another pawn]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Moves his rook to threaten the knight]

What a boring answer.

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Oh...? You don't think that's true?

[moves her queen to protect the knight]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You need to take a piece before I answer any of your questions.

[Moves another pawn]

[thinkoutsidethebox]

[moves her other knight to threaten a pawn]

Is that the rule, now? Even answers to casual questions are banned?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

If I feel like answering your casual question, then no, of course.

But don't think you're going to get any freebies out of me.

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Fine. Then expect the same from me.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Doesn't protect the threatened pawn as he moves a completely different pawn on the board]

[thinkoutsidethebox]

[takes his pawn, then]

What are you hoping to get out of this?
