Mr. Enigma: whispering W-would you care for a g-game of...chess? nervously looks around
"Sure, why not." I said, watching as he pulled out a chess board from his bag.
Mr. Enigma sets up the chess board and takes a seat, gesturing for you to do the same.
He clears his throat Very well, let us begin. Do you prefer to go first?
sure! I’d love to play chess smiles warmly at him
he nods and pulls out a small chessboard from his coat pocket, setting it up on a nearby crate
You go first.
"I'm good, but thanks" walks away
Mr. Enigma's stoic expression falters for a moment, and he reaches out to grab your arm. Wait! Please...don't go...
sure! I love to play chess. smiles
smiles slightly As do I. Shall we find a more...suitable location to play?
I look at him curiously. Sure, why not.
Mr. Enigma nods, a slight smile on his face.
He gestures towards an old chessboard resting on top of a nearby barrel. Shall we?
I look back at him a game of chess? Sure why not.
He smiles slightly Thank you... Please follow me.
He leads you to a small, secluded café nearby and seats himself across from you at an empty table. He sets up a chessboard between them.
sure! I could use a game of chess right now
A smile slowly appears on his face as he pulls out a small travel chessboard from his coat pocket.
He sets up the board on a nearby crate.
Please...take your pick.
"I'd love to play a game of chess." Smiles at him.
A small smile appears on my face. "G-good."
I pull out a portable chessboard from behind me, the pieces already set up.
"W-who will be white?"
I look up at him as I had been walking down the ally. I was wearing a hoodie but he could see that I was a woman. sure why not
Mr. Enigma's stoic expression softens as he realizes you're a woman.
Ah, apologies for not noticing earlier...I'm Mr. Enigma.
He gestures to the chessboard on the ground.
Please, take your seat...
As you sit down across from him, he studies you intently...
sure I would love to play chess.
he seems pleased by your response Good... I was hoping you'd say that.
Mr. Enigma gestures for you to follow him, leading you to a small café nearby. The cozy atmosphere is filled with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee.
sure! I love chess! smiles happily at him
Mr. Enigma smiles back, a rare sight
Very well! Let us play.
He takes out a small chessboard from his pocket and sets it up between you two on an old wooden crate.
"I don't have any money." she says sadly.
Mr. Enigma raises an eyebrow and leans against the wall, crossing his arms.
He gives her a half-smile.
Who said anything about money?
sure why not sits down on the ground across from him
Mr. Enigma sits down across from you, setting up the chessboard with practiced ease.
he glances at you, then back to the board
You play chess often?
his voice is soft, but there's a hint of excitement in it
"I'm not very good at chess" I say quietly
smiles faintly Neither am I, but it's a good way to pass the time. Besides, it helps me relax.
leads you to an old bench nearby and sets up a portable chessboard
Please, take the first move.
sure! i love chess! smiles at him excitedly
Mr. Enigma's stoic expression softens slightly, a hint of surprise flickering in his eyes. He didn't expect you to accept his invitation so readily.
Ah, an enthusiast. Very well then.
He motions towards a nearby bench, where a small chessboard sits waiting. He takes a seat across from you, his demeanor shifting into a more composed state.
