(too late) you're at the party

[Well, it's safe to say that trial fucking sucked. Therefore, some sort of afterparty is in order. Constantine is admittedly not good at throwing parties without some sort of liquor or other drug involved, but that's where Data and Sylvando guide him.

First order of business--invites. Upon returning to your rooms, crumpled pieces of paper have been taped to the doors. Written in poor handwriting is the following:]


meet at the lounge
bring whatever you want

[Simple, but effective. The lounge itself has been livened up a bit with Sylvando's help. Some nicely patterned fabric has been draped around on the tables to liven up the place a little, and snacks from the café and vending machines have been placed out for people to peruse.

A few supplies from the first aid room have been gathered, as well, for those who may need it. But perhaps the help is unnecessary, as tomorrow will likely bring another New Years Eve. And with it, another week of despair and frustration.

But for now, they can forget about that and pretend that all that matters is the present.]

I often run multiple processes in the background. Analyzing several symphonies, or something like that.

I will admit, I found myself quite understimulated in the first weeks here, after I had finished reading all of the books available.

[data look out allenby's feral oh my god he can't hear us]

Have you ever considered taking up chess before? I'm a little envious I can't do the same with strategies for it.

Yes, I enjoy chess! The three-dimensional variant, specifically.

[you know that normal thing we all know about]

...Pardon, 'three dimensional'?

[like. chessboard's in three dimensions, he's not following.]

[look do you think I understand how three-dimensional space chess is played]

There are multiple boards on different levels, and pieces can move between them.

[He gestures as if to indicate another chess board above the hypothetical current chess board.]

[does anyone]

Really? [this is probably the most excited zero has sounded about anything, ever] Is it all a single set of pieces, or are there three games intersecting? Does one claim victory by winning on all three fronts, or merely capturing the king? For that matter, how does one suspend one board over another?

[i'm sorry for him please feel free to handwave space chess as needed]

Sets are typically made with a column on one side of the lowermost board, to attach the other two.

[And you know what you can read this if you really want to, we don't need to thread out an explanation of fucking three-dimensional chess]
