video ∞ both courts, dated to Dec 2nd
[A youth appears across the screen. He isn't quite comfortable with the device, holding it low and a little away from himself as one might a snuffbox or cigarette case when admiring the work in its design. Also, the image might be just a little shaky, but it's rude to comment on that. The boy musters a smile, an expression that seems to flicker in its uncertainty.] How do you do? I'm Dorian Gray—is that—is that how these are used? I'm so sorry, I can't tell if it is better to use one's manners for introductions or for telegrams.
[There's a fluttering laugh as Dorian tries to inexpertly use humour to diffuse the point. Of course, for lack of a person before him, the strategy doesn't actually make him feel any less awkward, so he tries to move to his reason for talking.]
I was wondering if there were any players here of chess? I mean to say, I'd like to play chess—not that I'm much good, of course, but I'm very much fond of the game—if there are players already and a third would interfere with things, I'd be very happy to just watch. If it isn't trouble. It is only with all of this talk of competing factions, I can't help but think of a game of chess, and it has made me crave the sport.
[Dorian's face falls as he turns the locket away, not in misery but in an awkward embarrassment, and there is the faintest start of a mutter at himself as he accidentally shuts it before he is finished his message.
Smooth move, Dorian Gray.]

[It frustrates him a bit, because it goes against what his teacher taught him. Science and magic are supposed to go hand in hand, and Dave doesn't want to choose.
And of course, being distracted by the conversation and the feelings that cause him, he doesn't think his next move either.]
Look, as soon as I'm done practicing, I wanna go and see the Station. They say technology works there, if it's true then I can give you an AI to go against.

[He is very excited, and they are both not thinking much about the long-term in this particular chess game.]
