there's more to this brave adventure than you believe

WHO: Vriska Serket & YOU
TONE: Pretty casual?
RATING: PG to PG-13
WHEN: Sunday afternoon.
WHERE: The Great Hall
WHAT: Vriska is playing a game of Wizard's Chess by herself. Come and join her!
STATUS: Open and on-going.

So it was a little difficult to play chess by herself, but after a few stalemate rounds she managed to get into the grove of battling herself for victory. She got the idea over winter break when there was literally nothing for her to do but knit scarves for her great aunt and feed Nicholas, her Greenbottle Blue tarantula. It was a very long break for her, unfortunately.

"Knight to E5." Her words were still heavily accented from her native tongue, but at least understandable. Earlier she had weakly justified this game as speech practice (although it really wasn't, but the idea that it was made her feel better about playing it over and over) and she would stick with that reason.

Serket was her father's name, a man she never knew due to the fact he passed away before she was born. Her mother had kept his name anyways if only for Vriska's sake, although looking at it she has no idea why. Even in blood and name her father's family were never the most considerate people to her, in her opinion.

"Of course." She issued another move on her side, chin propped up by her hand. "I am always behaved, Professor." A smile.

"I think you'll find it's 'I am always well behaved'. Without the well, it doesn't make sense."

It's a dick move, but someone needs to correct her. How else will she learn? Still, he half smiles back at her as he makes yet another dick move. Only this time it is a particularly cruel chess move.
