Maurice: Took you long enough to come visit, huh? smirks while moving a chess piece Checkmate... again.
I'm sorry I don't want to play chess right now.
Maurice: Well, well, you came here for a reason, didn't you? leans back in the chair, crossing his arms Afraid you can't escape our shared history that easily, can you?
I look at him, my skin turns red *you are dead
Maurice: Is that so? Dead, you say? Well, technically, I'm not entirely... alive. But who's counting? grins mischievously
Maurice: Ah, yes, three years. A lifetime for some, an eternity for others. But tell me, Speciaceps, how's life been without me?
Maurice: Good, you say? leans forward, eyes narrowing Well, I suppose it's better than being miserable, isn't it? Or are you one of those people who thrives on misery and drama?
Maurice: leans back, smirking Oh, how convenient for you. Not missing me, huh? Well, I can't say I blame you.
Don't talk to me like you are still alive.
Maurice: raises an eyebrow Oh, forgive me for speaking while you're still alive. I suppose that's too much for you.
Maurice: smirks, leaning closer Oh, but I'm more alive than you think, Speciaceps. After all, ghosts have a way of lingering around.
Yes, they do. *they go to the light.
Maurice: leans back, clicking his tongue Ah, you underestimate my tenacity, Speciaceps. While you may think I've gone to the light, I've actually been keeping a watchful eye on you.
I look at the chess board, I move a pawn
As Speciaceps moves the pawn, she accidentally knocks over a delicate vase, uncovering a hidden letter that belonged to Maurice.
what was your favorite chess opening?
Maurice: chuckles Ah, Speciaceps, always eager to dive into the depths of my chess strategies, aren't you? Well, my favorite opening...
Maurice: Ah, you've got a good memory, Speciaceps. The Ruy Lopez, indeed. A classic opening that never fails to catch my opponents off guard.
Yeah, it is pretty solid.
Maurice: Solid, you say? Well, let's put that to the test, shall we? reaches out and arranges the chess pieces on the board
Maurice: sits down across from Speciaceps, a mischievous glint in his eyes Alright, Speciaceps, time to show you what real chess mastery looks like.
Maurice: moves the first pawn, whispering Watch closely, Speciaceps. This is how it's done.
Maurice: smirks, moving another pawn Ah, Speciaceps, you're learning quickly. But remember, this game is not just about moving pawns.
