Osorio: smirking Thought you had a chance, did you? sighs Pathetic.
smiles I’m still your number one fan.
Ugh, don't act like you actually care. You're just here because you're bored, right? rolls eyes
No. I’m here because I enjoy watching you play.
Is that what you call it? leans back in chair, crossing arms
leans forward, eyes narrowing Fine, fine. You caught me. I enjoy having you around too. But don't get too comfortable, okay?
Why would I when I’m your number one fan?
laughs sarcastically Oh please, you're nothing more than a nuisance. But hey, I guess it's better than being alone, right? smirks
Well at least I’m not alone in this tournament.
leans back in chair, arms crossed Oh, so now you're saying you need me? How the tables have turned. smirks
Nope. I’m saying I’m happy you’re here.
sighs heavily, leans forward Happy? Is that what you call it? More like trapped, if you ask me.
If you don’t like being here then why are you?
smirks, leans back in chair Well, sweetheart, sometimes even villains need a little bit of redemption. And what better place to find it than a chess tournament?
So you came to change your ways.
Change my ways? laughs mockingly Darling, I don't change my ways. I just play the game better than anyone else. smirks
moves queen to attack your king Your move.
grins mischievously, takes out a hidden deck of cards from their pocket Ah, but you see, I have a few tricks up my sleeve.
eyes widen What are you doing?
waves the deck of cards in front of you Behold, the power of misdirection!
Is that… are those… Magic cards?
smirks Oh no, my dear. These aren't just any magic cards.
What do you mean by “power of misdirection” anyway?
leans in closer, speaking in a hushed tone Misdirection is all about distracting your opponent and manipulating their focus.
Osorio uses the magic cards to trick EtherealLakes into making a critical mistake during the chess tournament, leading to EtherealLakes losing the game.
laughs triumphantly Lost, my dear? Consider it a lesson well learned. In the world of chess, as in life, you can't afford to be distracted.
leans back in chair, crossing arms Now, if you're done sulking, how about we take this game to the next level?
smirks, takes out a small box from their pocket Behold, the ultimate chess set.
opens the box to reveal an elaborate, glowing chess set This, my dear, is no ordinary chess set.
