Maki #871: The Queen's Scheme
Maki
Wow. What a great spot.
Maki
I had no idea there was a board game café this close.
| Option 1: “Me neither.” |
|---|
| Player Me neither, not until recently. I hear there's been a lot more board game cafés popping up lately. Maki Really? Well, I can't wait to play. |
| Option 2: “I'm glad there's a spot like this.” |
| Player I'm glad there's a spot like this where we can play with a lot of different people. Maki Yes, it's nice to make new connections like that. |
Maki
Anyway, I'm a bit surprised to hear you're into chess now.
Player
I mean, chess is a ton of fun! And it's all because you showed me that chess app.
Maki
Good, it'll be nice to have a partner to play against. Ready to start a game?
Player
You know it!
[Fade in/out.]
Player
Next, I'll move it…here.
Maki
Hmm… Then I'll advance here.
Player
Oh, this is my chance! Go!
Maki
Ah…
Player
Nice, I got your piece! And now…I'll move here!
Maki
Hee hee. Got you.
Player
Huh?
Maki
Let me move my piece like…this.
Player
Oh no! I thought I was backing you into a corner, but you got the better of me instead!
Maki
*Giggle* You're awfully easy to trick. I can't believe you fell for such an obvious trap.
Player
Nooo! How do I get myself out of this mess?
Maki
It's too late. See? Checkmate.
Player
Oh nooo! And I could have sworn I'd win. This sucks!
Maki
*Giggle* I thought you'd puzzle over that one a little more, but you're actually pretty simple-minded, huh?
Player
That's because you're too smart! Ugh, give me a rematch.
Maki
Sure. I'm happy to play as many times as you want.
Maki
I didn't expect you to be so competitive, but I guess I learned something new about you today. It's sure fun to play like this, huh?
Player
Grr! I'll beat you next time, just you wait and see!
Maki
Whatever you say. Okay, let's kick off round 2 now.
