07 - [Accidental Video]

[Late at night, a Gear turns on upon clattering to the floor. The view, while half blanketed in darkness, shows Miyako sitting up in her bed, shoulders moving up and down as she breathes heavily. She looks panicked for a moment, but upon realizing she's just in her room, she sighs and pushes hair from her face.]

That... stupid bird!

[With a sigh, she glances down at her pillow, trying to find her gear. And upon noticing the empty space, she panics again, quickly pushing her pillow and blanket back before peering on the floor -]

It's on...?

[She picks it up.]

...not like anyone's awake right now anyway... It's late.

[And by late, she means not even one at night. But after midnight, thirteen-year-olds... Sheesh.]

[[He's still dressed if that gives her any assurance that he just hadn't gone to bed yet]]

Nightmare? Or something just startle you? [[Give her a good excuse for an out if she wants it]]

[Video]

[digital_bingo]

A nightmare... [She's a little relieved by that. She was worried about waking people up!]

It was just awful! But I'm glad it's done.

[shiromadoushi]

[[a small nod]] Best to not think about it, you can forget it easier that way. Find a good distraction!

[Video]

[digital_bingo]

A distraction... I don't know if I have any good distractions in here.

[shiromadoushi]

Do you know how to play chess? Or checkers, if you want something a bit simpler! I have a board we can use.

[[why yes, games were his solution to everything, why did you ask?]]

[Video]

[digital_bingo]

Chess? Well, I'm not very good, but I can try.

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

You don't have to be good, you just have to have fun, ne?

[Video]

[digital_bingo]

[She grins.] Yeah! Do you want to play?

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

Of course! I'll get the board!

[[a grin as he gets up before returning a moment later with a very nice looking board and glass pieces.]] Frosted or clear? [[smiles, holding out the two kings]]

[Video]

[digital_bingo]

[She thinks for a second, then points.] The frosted one!

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

You got it!

[[he smiles cheerfully as he sets up the board.]] So do you play often?

[[game + chatter = perfect distraction, right?]]

[Video]

[digital_bingo]

I play against my computer sometimes when I'm bored, but not a lot.

[Best distraction! She's feeling better already.] Do you play a lot?

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

Did you have the version of it for the computer where the pieces would battle? That was one of the first chess games I ever played! [[happy nerdy grin]] And I play a lot more here than back home! I played a lot more other games there, and against the computer more than my friends. They aren't really to big on this sort of game. Too much thinking. [[a grin at that]]

[Video]

[digital_bingo]

Yeah! That's the one I have! [She laughs.] Chess really does mean a lot of thinking, doesn't it? But it's not that bad!

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

Aaa, I loved that game! [[so much glee]] And it's not bad at all! Sometimes a thinking game is better than a luck game, because you can do so much more with it!

[Video]

[digital_bingo]

Yeah! It's easier than playing cards, I think.
