Eric: Hey, Reggie, let's play some chess. *holds up folded board*

Reggie: Er...is that anything like checkers?

Eric: You never played chess?

Reggie: Just kidding. Sure I have. Let's play.

*some time later*

Reggie: Heeheehee...*moves a piece*

Eric: Okay, Reggie. *moves*

Reggie: I'll have you checkmated your next move.

Eric: Maybe we should have played checkers.

Reggie: *grins*

*knock on the door*

Eric: I'll get it.

*Cryptic is at the door, Eric lets him in*

Eric: You didn't have to knock. You could have just teleported in.

Cryptic: That would be impolite. I see you're playing chess. Who's winning?

Reggie: I am. *giggles* Eric's about to be checkmated.

Cryptic: It would be unwise to declare the game over yet. One of the unique things about chess is how a shrewd player can change the balance of the game.

Eric: *moves his bishop to capture Reggie's pawn, his king is in line with the bishop* Check, Reggie.

Reggie: Gah!

Cryptic: As I was saying. *leans over table to study game*

Reggie: *moves king back* There!

Eric: *moves his rook in line with the king* Check.

Reggie: You...*moves king down*

Eric: *moves bishop* Check, Reggie. I've got you.

Reggie: Cryptic, help me!

Cryptic: *shakes head* I cannot.

Reggie: I concede.

Eric: *captures Reggie's king* Checkmate. But it was a good game, Reggie.

Reggie: I prefer checkers.

Eric: You suggest a game, Cryptic. One we can all play.

Cryptic: Monopoly?

*an hour later*

Eric: D'oh!

Reggie: D'oh!

Cryptic: An interesting area, the Boardwalk. It seems to posess great power. When I own it and place buildings on it, it makes you lose.
