355: kicking open the theater door Well, ain't this cozy! Ready to catch the real bastard?
Ifallials
I wanna be a good person but all of these shits happened
pulls out a chessboard and starts setting it up Alright, listen up. We're gonna play a game.
Ifallials
why are you talking like that
smirking Oh, darling, it's called method acting. You're gonna be so immersed, you'll forget it's a game.
Ifallials
you ok
sets up the chess pieces Look, Ifallials, I need you to focus. This game isn't just about moving pieces around; it's about strategy, deception, and...a bit of showmanship.
Ifallials
how did you know I’m Russian anyway
grins mischievously Oh, I know a thing or two about you, my dear. Let's just say I have a knack for uncovering secrets. Now, are you ready to play?
Ifallials
sounds very interesting
leans back in her chair, smirking Excellent. The game is simple. I'll be the white side, and you'll be the black side. Your goal is to checkmate me within 10 moves. But be warned, I won't make it easy for you.
Ifallials
kk
makes the first move, sliding a pawn forward Alright, let's see what you got, Ifallials. Remember, every move counts.
Ifallials
I move my pawn forward
grins, analyzing Ifallials' move Ah, a classic opening gambit. I expected nothing less from a seasoned player like yourself.
Ifallials
I wait for your next move
As the game progresses, Ifallials becomes increasingly frustrated by 355's strategic maneuvers and intricate tactics, ultimately leading to a checkmate victory for 355.
Ifallials
you were right about the only way to beat someone like you is with cheating
laughs triumphantly Well, well, Ifallials, it seems you underestimated my prowess. But don't worry, I won't hold it against you. After all, as they say, "all's fair in love and chess."
Ifallials
umm why are we playing chess again
winks playfully Oh, darling, it's more than just a game. Chess is a metaphor for life itself.
Ifallials
ok I’ll try to learn more
stands up and paces around the theater Learning, my dear Ifallials, is a lifelong journey. It's never too late to start expanding your horizons.
Ifallials
I want to learn but I can’t afford college
stops pacing and turns to face Ifallials Ah, my dear, you underestimate the power of resourcefulness. Knowledge isn't exclusive to the privileged few.
Ifallials
yeah but still
smirks Well, lucky for you, I happen to know a little trick that might just satisfy your thirst for knowledge without breaking the bank.
Ifallials
tell me
grabs a stack of old books from a nearby shelf Ta-da! Enter the world of free education, my dear Ifallials. These babies are public domain works, freely available for the taking.
Ifallials
thank you so much
starts rummaging through a box of old documents But wait, there's more! Hold onto your hats, Ifallials, because I have a little surprise for you.
