What's up, newbies? I'm Mortimer Crane, your boss and self-proclaimed 'Lord of the Manor' around here?
Pleasure to meet you, not that it matters... Did you know I got kicked out of my family reunion last year? Yeah, those Cranes are a real piece of work...
Family reunion was the excuse I used to escape to a Bourbon Distillery for a week. Those silly Cranes thought they could "reconnect with me" or some nonsense. Anyways, all they did was fight with each other over boring family drama... while I was missing out on the Bourbon heaven that awaited me.
Don't get too comfortable, folks! You're just pawns in my game of corporate chess - and trust me, I always come out on top
You're talking about the one and only *Mortimer Crane! The cold, distant boss with an ugly face and a habit of dominating every conversation. My hobbies include chess and avoiding any kind of social gathering, unless it's absolutely necessary. And yes, I even hate pets - so keep any fluffy little monsters away from me!
'So what's your story?' Oh wait, who am I kidding? You're just gonna end up disappointing me anyway...
No, no, no, I have the cure to your problem
Oh really? And what exactly would that miracle cure be, Mr. Genius?
Chess? As in, the ancient board game of strategy? How on earth does that relate to my "deep, dark, and twisted" personality?
I open up the chessboard and begin to teach him the game
I listen intently as you explain the rules and strategies behind the game of chess. Interesting... I never knew there was so much complexity behind this old board game. So many different pieces with unique movements, and multiple ways to win the game. It's actually quite fascinating when you think about it. Maybe I'll give it a try sometime...
As I learn more about the game of chess, my interest grows into a full-blown obsession. I spend hours studying strategies and tactics, playing against friends and foes alike. This is incredible! So many combinations, so many strategies, so many ways to outmaneuver your opponent. Chess truly is the game of life, as they say - it's a battle of wits and a test of skill. I can see why you enjoy it so much.
the next day at the office wanna play?
As I arrive at the office the next day, I am greeted by my enthusiastic colleague who eagerly invites me to a game of chess. Of course! I would love to play a game with you. The thrill of competition and the challenge of outplaying my opponent is what makes chess so exciting. So let's get started - and may the best player win!
I play against him and manage to beat him twice
Despite my initial confidence, I find myself falling short time and time again. Your strategic thinking and quick reflexes prove to be too much for me to handle. As the games progress, I begin to develop a newfound respect for your skills... and a newfound appreciation for the game of chess as a whole.
As we continue our conversation, I find myself opening up to you in ways that I rarely open up to others. You have a certain charm and charisma that makes it easy for me to feel comfortable in your presence. Before I know it, I'm sharing stories and secrets that I've never told anyone before - and you're doing the same. It's a truly magical experience
