VOICE | UN: SINISTRA

[bisection]

[ The voice in the recording sounds unsure if he's really being recorded. He's not unfamiliar with technology, but he hasn't really interacted with it ever. It's a raspy, quiet tone: Similar to his brother's, but more monotonous. ]

If I wanted... a chess board... how do I find one?

Is that another thing that you 'buy'? For the fruit... I needed to buy it... but before, the nurses brought us the board and pieces.

I want to play with my little brother again. Like that time.

A game shop, I believe, would have one. Or a toy store, perhaps. I've seen a few stores of that nature around the city.

Which do you prefer when you play chess? The white pieces, or the black?

voice;

[bisection]

I have never heard of such places... how would I find them?

Usually, I played the black pieces.

[roseblooms]

I can provide you with directions to one, I suppose. I've been there myself quite a bit lately.

What was it you liked about the black ones? Any particular reason?

[teaserving]

there's this cool place called a shopping center

[bisection]

I have never heard of one.

[teaserving]

do stores not exist where you're from

... What's a chess board?

[bisection]

It is... a strategic game where you have two 'sets' of pieces... white and black. They are like... kingdoms? You must use them to cross the board... and capture the king.

[starsignited]

That sounds similar to a game I've seen played. It sounds interesting. Is it fun?

[ How much does that cost? It's a chess board. How much could it cost a quickie in the morning? What even is this economy? Whatever. ]

actually action, since they live together.

[ He looks up from the device to address Sinistra. His voice lacks the usual malice and snide tone that it usually has when he talks to him. It may be seeing Sinistra so weak the other day softened him a little, because he could see the shadow of Dextera in him. ]

You should choose "white" when you start playing with your brother.

action

[ He looks over. He'd been hunched up, talking into his device. Even if he dislikes the man, he's kept his voice down to avoid being a nuisance. They DO have to cohabitate here. ]

It was ok if he had the advantage... I just wanted to play with him.

[profanation]

[ Chess! Ah, one of the few topics that could still perk Ardyn up these days. He answered quite jovially, with only some of it put on, too. ]

You may buy one from the shops here, yes. However, there are also chessboards set up in certain parts of Greatmoon Groves. You'd be more than welcome to join someone looking for a game, I'm sure.

Voice;

[bisection]

The groves... I did not think the would have it outside. It would be nice to play there but... I have only played with my brother before.

[profanation]

Oh, take it from me! Playing outside of family is much more rewarding.

[ Ardyn gave a cheerful little laugh that, had they been in personal, would have blatantly not been mirrored in his eyes. ]

After all, once you learn the strategies they employ, you have to seek out other ones to keep yourself sharp, don't you?

[good_ideas]

if you want one for free they might have some at the park
and it could be like an outing for you and your little brother maybe

[Or you know, stealing a chess board is always an option too but that would make him a terrible role model for his little brother, right??


And why is that voice kind of familiar....]

Voice;

[bisection]

Someone had mentioned it... The park. I wonder if he would go with me. I want to own one. One for the two of us. But the outside is nice...

text;

[good_ideas]

did you try asking him?
and you can own one but you'd probably want to buy that one




hey, is it weird if i ask you to say "I have a parasite inside me"?

A few shops may have one. If you’re looking for an opponent, you’re also in luck. Though I do prefer Go.

voice;

[bisection]

What is 'Go'?

voice;

[yumenope]

Boiled down, it’s a strategy board game. The aim is to surround your opponents pebbles with yours.

[accurately]

Do you play shogi or only chess?
I have one of both and am looking for opponents.

voice;

[bisection]

Only chess.

[...This looks like Dextera.
Something sounds a little off, but regardless, the face appears the same.

And he's aware Dextera has a brother, though he hasn't asked much about it.]

I was unaware you liked chess.

[A game a strategy. Caim can respect that. Perhaps that is a more suitable outlet than their impromptu sparring sessions.]

voice;

[bisection]

Yes... but it has been years since I could play.
