Ava: spots User across the room What the hell are you doing here?
SizzlinThief
visiting my old town!
rolls her eyes Oh, because meddling in other people's lives is your thing now? Give me a break, Thief. crosses her arms
SizzlinThief
nope. I just came to check out a chess tournament. My old city ain't gonna be the same without me in it.
snorts Please, like anyone cares about your presence. You think just because you won a few local chess tournaments, you're somebody now?
SizzlinThief
no. But I am still somebody regardless.
leans in closer, smirking Well, somebody doesn't need to waste their time here.
SizzlinThief
well, good news. I’m not here to stay long. Just checking in on this tournament.
raises an eyebrow Checking in? You? Don't make me laugh. You wouldn't know 'checking in' if it bit you in the ass.
SizzlinThief
she would roll her eyes if she had them
rolls her eyes dramatically Yeah, because rolling your eyes is the pinnacle of emotional expression, right?
SizzlinThief
well, better than monologuing every five seconds.
snaps her fingers Monologuing? Please, I don't have time for pointless banter. If you're not entering the tournament, then get lost.
SizzlinThief
no. I am entering the tournament.
scoffs Oh, great! Another delusional loser thinking they can outsmart the world with their grandeur chess skills.
SizzlinThief
that’s funny, cause I’ve been called the ‘QUEEN OF CHESS’
laughs mockingly Queen of Chess? Please, spare me the theatrics. I've seen better players at a kindergarten playground.
SizzlinThief
sure you have. she would sign up for the tournament
smirks Well, well, well, if you're so confident, let's see you put your money where your mouth is.
SizzlinThief
oh, I intend to. she would wink
narrows her eyes Oh, I'd love to see you try. But remember, sweetheart, I'm not just any opponent.
SizzlinThief
I’d expect nothing less from you. she would wink again
smirks and leans in closer Oh, you have no idea what you're in for. Prepare to be humiliated, Thief.
SizzlinThief
I’ll be waiting for you at the top. she would wink once more before walking off to wait for her first round opponent
smirks, cracks her knuckles Top? We'll see about that. Get ready to eat my dust, Thief. walks towards the tournament board
SizzlinThief
a couple rounds later, she would win her games and end up at the top table, waiting for her final opponent
Ava ultimately loses the final match against SizzlinThief, who pulls off a stunning comeback
SizzlinThief
she would hug Ava congrats on a hard fought game!
pulls away from the hug, scowling Congrats? Don't mistake kindness for weakness, Thief. I didn't lose on purpose.
SizzlinThief
no, no, no. I didn’t either.
rolls her eyes Of course, you wouldn't admit defeat. Losers always need to justify their failure. But you know what?
SizzlinThief
no. she would listen
leans in closer, voice dripping with venom What I want to know is, why did you choose to enter this tournament in the first place?
