Comments

afternoon or something.

[puzzlers]

[ he steps out of the elevator and starts crossing the lobby when he catches sight of intensity staring at his phone hard enough to go cross-eyed. ]

[ yugi's standing beside him a split second later, standing on his tip toes to try to see what he's doing, though he's really not terribly interested. ]

If you're busy we can always reschedule.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[He's in the vehicle section. Obviously whatever he is looking for is not there.

But he startles when Yugi speaks up]

No. Wait. Wha--?

[Oh. Right.]

Now's fine.

[puzzlers]

Vid room ok?

[ and he spins on his heels to start heading toward its doors. ]

What were you looking for anyway?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Fine.

[That just means they can play Wizard's chess.

He gets up, tucking his phone anyway]

Replacement parts for the amusement park.

[puzzlers]

[ heyyyy. that's exactly what he'd been thinking. ]

[ ...hm. ] For the roller coaster?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You saw the smoking crater, too?

[puzzlers]

Hard to miss it.

[ especially when you're 1/5 responsible for it. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

The track is repaired, but the car itself was unsalvagable.

Nothing in the point shop looks usable as a replacement either.

[puzzlers]

What about go-karts? I doubt it'll be too difficult to modify them to be able to ride on a track... maybe...

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Ride the track, sure. Problem solved. Because that's the only thing required for a roller coaster car.

[puzzlers]

I know it's not the only thing, [ why are you so argumentative? ] but if you're looking for somewhere to start, then it's not exactly the worst place.

And clearly you've already had no luck. [ so who are you to judge. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Bristles.

Immediately]

Don't tell me how to run an amusement park!

[puzzlers]

[ what the actual fuck. ]

[ just stares at him, stunned. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Are you here to play chess or not?

[puzzlers]

It kind of seems like you'd rather take care of what happened at the amusement park. It's not like chess can't wait, Intensity.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I told you I already fixed the track.

[puzzlers]

I know, and that's great, but that's exactly half of what needs to be done. You said there's nothing in the points shop and you don't want to modify some other vehicle into a new coaster, so have you checked around the park? Not that things blow up often, but there's probably a ride maintenance shed somewhere with parts, if not replacement cars.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Well if you're so sure, then why don't you go find and fix it, Yugi?

[puzzlers]

[ he probably should. ]

Maybe I will.

[ he'll contact the other crimes jail kids later. ]

[ heading into the vid room he stops alongside the console and programs it with something similar to wizard's chess, though the two of them will be taking the spots of each of the kings. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[He takes the white side of the board, of course. And surprise surprise - why does his queen look suspiciously like a Blue Eyes]

White goes first.

[One of his pawns moves forward two spaces in a classic chess opening move]

[puzzlers]

[ probably the same reason yugi's queen looks like gandora.

Naturally.

[ he moves the black pawn in the same column[?] only one space. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Glances at the unfamiliar and obviously inferior dragon]

And that is---?

[puzzlers]

[ first of all, excuse you,
and second of all, excuse you. ]

Gandora-X the Dragon of Demolition.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Never heard of it.

[puzzlers]

Your loss.

[ not that he thinks intensity will see it that way. ]
