  1. [January 06 at 14:38:45] *** DerpyWebber has joined #flankbook-rp
  2. [January 06 at 14:45:54] <Macchiato> (( so DerpyWebber ))
  3. [January 06 at 14:46:22] <DerpyWebber> (Yeah?)
  4. [January 06 at 14:46:22] * DerpyWebber patiently sits down to listen
  5. [January 06 at 14:46:52] <Macchiato> (( Feel like doing anything? ))
  6. [January 06 at 14:47:26] <DerpyWebber> (Sure!)
  7. [January 06 at 14:47:41] * JackDoe [lurks and watches]
  8. [January 06 at 14:48:00] <DerpyWebber> (I may have to leave in 1/2-2 hours, but freeform RP is good for me.)
  9. [January 06 at 14:48:18] <DerpyWebber> (You better lead this time, I don't want to repeat what happened last time.)
  10. [January 06 at 14:48:59] <JackDoe> [... last time?]
  11. [January 06 at 14:49:41] <DerpyWebber> (Trust me. You don't want to know.)
  12. [January 06 at 14:49:45] <DerpyWebber> (Unless you do, in which case you can ask me or Joe for the logs.)
  13. [January 06 at 14:50:13] <JackDoe> [I'll... trust your judgement, friend]
  14. [January 06 at 14:51:11] <DerpyWebber> (OK, so we need a basic scenario. Coffee shop again?)
  15. [January 06 at 14:51:16] <JackDoe> [shall I set the scene?]
  16. [January 06 at 14:51:24] <Macchiato> It's a slow day in town, and a unicorn you probably don't know is trying to remedy this. He has a large chessboard set up, and on it lay several ponies with all sorts of hats.
  17. [January 06 at 14:51:47] <DerpyWebber> (Sure)
  18. [January 06 at 14:51:49] * JackDoe walks into the town square, stopping when he sees the commotion. "Excuse me? What's going on here?"
  19. [January 06 at 14:52:30] <DerpyWebber> (I'll be a nondescript pegasus. Let your imagination run wild, just not too wild.)
  20. [January 06 at 14:52:38] *** DerpyWebber is now known as Derpygasus
  21. [January 06 at 14:53:01] * Macchiato waves to JackDoe from the white kingside bishop position. "Jack! Hey!"
  22. [January 06 at 14:53:28] * Macchiato has a mitre on.
  23. [January 06 at 14:53:35] * JackDoe trots around from the black side and stands next to Macchiato. "Hello, there, friend. It's been a while. What's going on here?"
  24. [January 06 at 14:54:12] * Derpygasus walks into the square as well, stopping to stare at the commotion, but doing nothing else, as if frozen in place.
  25. [January 06 at 14:56:11] <JackDoe> [... what do the "knight" pieces look like on a pony chess set?]
  26. [January 06 at 14:56:37] <Macchiato> (( Good question. ))
  27. [January 06 at 14:57:07] <Derpygasus> (Just a pony in armor, I'd expect.)
  28. [January 06 at 14:57:08] <Derpygasus> (Like the artwork from Dangerous Business)
  29. [January 06 at 14:58:30] <JackDoe> [but surely the pawns would also look like ponies in armour... perhaps they have little winged helmets like the Valkyries - they can jump over things, after all]
  30. [January 06 at 15:01:02] <Derpygasus> (The pawns have leather armor, the knights have plate armor.)
  31. [January 06 at 15:01:04] <Derpygasus> (Wait, where is this discussion going, anyway?)
  32. [January 06 at 15:03:34] <Macchiato> "It's not clear?"
  33. [January 06 at 15:05:40] * JackDoe sighs. "I know what's going on, I just thought... some context might be nice."
  34. [January 06 at 15:06:03] <Macchiato> "It would be, wouldn't it?"
  35. [January 06 at 15:06:14] * JackDoe nods. "But I'm not going to get any, am I?"
  36. [January 06 at 15:06:57] *** Rae!~raylias@bas1-kitchener09-1176181919.dsl.bell.ca has joined #flankbook-rp
  37. [January 06 at 15:07:59] <AwesomeCoffee> (( The prompt, Rae: It's a slow day in town, and a unicorn you probably don't know is trying to remedy this. He has a large chessboard set up, and on it lay several ponies with all sorts of hats. ))
  38. [January 06 at 15:08:31] <Derpygasus> (Wait, I just re-read that. HATS?!)
  39. [January 06 at 15:08:50] <AwesomeCoffee> (( yeah. ))
  40. [January 06 at 15:09:06] <Derpygasus> (And you don't specify. Is the chessboard life-size large? And by ponies do you mean figurines, or actual ponies?)
  41. [January 06 at 15:09:17] <AwesomeCoffee> (( life-size large, with living ponies ))
  42. [January 06 at 15:09:35] <AwesomeCoffee> (( as Macchiato is currently on white's kingside bishop spot. ))
  43. [January 06 at 15:09:37] <Derpygasus> (Are they laying there, as in, dead or unconscious?)
  44. [January 06 at 15:09:43] <AwesomeCoffee> (( Standing. ))
  45. [January 06 at 15:09:48] <AwesomeCoffee> (( Guh. ))
  46. [January 06 at 15:09:58] <Derpygasus> (You explicitly said "lay")
  47. [January 06 at 15:10:08] <AwesomeCoffee> (( yes, I was not thinking ))
  48. [January 06 at 15:10:23] <Derpygasus> (Fine then, is the chessboard full?)
  49. [January 06 at 15:10:50] <AwesomeCoffee> (( Nearly. ))
  50. [January 06 at 15:11:08] <JackDoe> "Well... there appears to be an empty Rook spot here. Do you think I might be able to take this position?"
  51. [January 06 at 15:11:09] <Derpygasus> (YAY!)
  52. [January 06 at 15:11:27] <AwesomeCoffee> "Go ask the guy setting this up."
  53. [January 06 at 15:11:51] * Derpygasus starts to walk slowly towards the board, observing the odd sight as he approaches the pony who appears to be setting it up.
  54. [January 06 at 15:12:11] * Derpygasus appears flabbergasted "Umm… Sir?"
  55. [January 06 at 15:12:14] *** CynthiaScribe has joined #flankbook-rp
  56. [January 06 at 15:12:15] *** Reiko-san has joined #flankbook-rp
  57. [January 06 at 15:12:50] * JackDoe glances towards the unknown unicorn. "Hello, there, sir." he says amiably. "Are you the one organising this?"
  58. [January 06 at 15:13:45] * Derpygasus raises his voice "Sir!"
  59. [January 06 at 15:14:08] <AwesomeCoffee> The unicorn nods. "I am indeed. Would you like to play with us?"
  60. [January 06 at 15:14:26] * JackDoe nods slowly. "If you'll have me, sir."
  61. [January 06 at 15:14:40] <Derpygasus> "Umm…"
  62. [January 06 at 15:14:51] <AwesomeCoffee> He talks to Jack, motioning for the other pegasus to hold on. "Certainly. Where?"
  63. [January 06 at 15:15:16] *** CynthiaScribe has left #flankbook-rp
  64. [January 06 at 15:15:16] * JackDoe nods towards the board. "The kingside rook position hasn't been filled yet."
  65. [January 06 at 15:15:22] * Derpygasus 's blank face quickly transforms into a grin worthy of Pinkie Pie "SURE!"
  66. [January 06 at 15:16:07] <Derpygasus> "What other positions are available?"
  67. [January 06 at 15:17:21] <AwesomeCoffee> "Anywhere you see a space open."
  68. [January 06 at 15:17:32] <Derpygasus> "And that would be..."
  69. [January 06 at 15:18:08] *** CynthiaScribe has joined #flankbook-rp
  70. [January 06 at 15:18:28] <AwesomeCoffee> "... Black knight, queenside."
  71. [January 06 at 15:18:32] *** Flame_Mask has joined #flankbook-rp
  72. [January 06 at 15:18:42] <JackDoe> [flamey~!]
  73. [January 06 at 15:18:46] <Flame_Mask> (Hey hey)
  74. [January 06 at 15:18:51] <JackDoe> [we're playing life-sized chess! With hats!]
  75. [January 06 at 15:18:52] <Reiko-san> "What's this a giant chess board?"
  76. [January 06 at 15:18:59] * Derpygasus trots toward the aforementioned space "This is going to be good.."
  77. [January 06 at 15:19:05] <JackDoe> [everypony's favourite war-themed hat simulator!]
  78. [January 06 at 15:19:06] <Derpygasus> "Wait, do I get a hat?"
  79. [January 06 at 15:19:22] <Flame_Mask> (Where is this set?)
  80. [January 06 at 15:19:30] <JackDoe> [town square]
  81. [January 06 at 15:19:38] <Flame_Mask> (Nice)
  82. [January 06 at 15:19:44] <JackDoe> [Macchi's a bishop, Jack's a rook]
  83. [January 06 at 15:20:01] * Flame_Mask wanders about town and stumbles across this weird hatful event
  84. [January 06 at 15:20:08] <AwesomeCoffee> The unicorn places a white hat much like a rook on Jack, and on Derpygasus a black hat indicating him to be a knight.
  85. [January 06 at 15:20:23] <Derpygasus> (I read that as hateful and was about to protest...)
  86. [January 06 at 15:20:25] <Derpygasus> "Have I mentioned I REALLY like hats?"
  87. [January 06 at 15:21:07] * JackDoe smiles. "I never thought they suited me."
  88. [January 06 at 15:21:21] <AwesomeCoffee> (( Flame_Mask: http://pastebin.com/M9PDL7wT ))
  89. [January 06 at 15:21:33] * Flame_Mask takes a seat nearby to watch this strange event
  90. [January 06 at 15:21:38] <Derpygasus> (I have no idea where you're going with this. I LOVE IT!)
  91. [January 06 at 15:21:43] <Reiko-san> "Any spaces for a knight?"
  92. [January 06 at 15:24:47] <Macchiato> The unicorn shakes his head. "Nope, knights are taken. You'll have to wait, or pick another spot."
  93. [January 06 at 15:25:06] <Reiko-san> "another spot hm...maybe queen side rook?"
  94. [January 06 at 15:25:10] <JackDoe> [nopony wants to play pawns, probably.]
  95. [January 06 at 15:25:18] <Macchiato> "Black or white?"
  96. [January 06 at 15:26:42] <Reiko-san> "white I guess."
  97. [January 06 at 15:26:55] * Macchiato waves to Flame! "Hi hon!"
  98. [January 06 at 15:27:36] * CynthiaScribe stumbles across the scene. "Oh, what's happening here?"
  99. [January 06 at 15:27:47] <Flame_Mask> "Hey Macchi!" He waves back
  100. [January 06 at 15:28:46] <Derpygasus> (Gotta go, sorry, feel free to take my spot!)
  101. [January 06 at 15:28:58] * JackDoe turns. "Oh, hello there, Flame." he smiles. "It's been... far too long."
  102. [January 06 at 15:29:01] <Macchiato> The unicorn tosses Reiko a white rook cap. Then, he turns to Cynthia. "Chess. Board's nearly full up, if you want to play."
  103. [January 06 at 15:29:14] <Macchiato> (( You're on autopilot, Derpygasus ))
  104. [January 06 at 15:29:21] <Derpygasus> (YAY!)
  105. [January 06 at 15:29:56] <Flame_Mask> "It has." He seems to be deep in thought. Possible thinking about witchcraft
  106. [January 06 at 15:29:57] <Derpygasus> (I know how to put a 737 on autopilot, but I've never been put on autopilot myself. This is going to be good! Save the logs for later!)
  107. [January 06 at 15:30:08] *** Derpygasus!~DerpyWebb@201.103.255.231 has quit IRC: Quit: Derpygasus
  108. [January 06 at 15:30:59] * CynthiaScribe turns to Macchi. "Oh, I-i'll just be a pawn, please. On either side.
  109. [January 06 at 15:31:09] <Macchiato> (( no, not Macchi ))
  110. [January 06 at 15:31:24] <JackDoe> [an unknown unicorn.]
  111. [January 06 at 15:31:44] <Flame_Mask> (Watching Friendship is Witchcraft)
  112. [January 06 at 15:32:16] <CynthiaScribe> [right, sorry -_-;]
  113. [January 06 at 15:32:53] <Flame_Mask> (It's fine, I can play too)
  114. [January 06 at 15:33:17] <Macchiato> Cynthia gets a black pawn headpiece. Which spot does she take?
  115. [January 06 at 15:34:17] * CynthiaScribe takes the spot on the far right, looking from the black side
  116. [January 06 at 15:34:44] <JackDoe> [if you're two ponies short, I can get the ravens all up on's]
  117. [January 06 at 15:34:50] <Macchiato> (( Flame_Mask will you play white if someone else shows? ))
  118. [January 06 at 15:35:24] <Flame_Mask> (Sure)
  119. [January 06 at 15:41:35] <Flame_Mask> (Well that was a funtabulus episode)
  120. [January 06 at 15:41:44] <Macchiato> (( yep ))
  121. [January 06 at 15:41:57] <JackDoe> [seven minute lull]
  122. [January 06 at 15:42:59] <JackDoe> The game drags on. Ponies that have been captured stay to spectate as the commanders of the two sides start to sweat with the tension. The sun hangs low in the sky, and neither player is clearly in the lead.
  123. [January 06 at 15:45:07] * Macchiato snuggles Flame off to the side, still wearing bishop's mitre
  124. [January 06 at 15:45:24] * Flame_Mask snuggles back now finished thinking about witchcraft
  125. [January 06 at 15:46:53] * JackDoe sighs. He has been commanded to move - a gambit, clearly, as the position is not at all strategic. He closes his eyes and steps forward, resigned to his fate.
  126. [January 06 at 15:49:11] <Macchiato> (( Kingside, which is that for white again? ))
  127. [January 06 at 15:49:43] <CynthiaScribe> [I think it's right]
  128. [January 06 at 15:50:04] <JackDoe> [I would say white]
  129. [January 06 at 15:51:03] <JackDoe> [... I meant right]
  130. [January 06 at 15:52:02] <Macchiato> ( Guys, claim an area on the board? ))
  131. [January 06 at 15:53:22] <JackDoe> [northwest quadrant.]
  132. [January 06 at 15:55:49] <Flame_Mask> (Well I'm going to FNM today)
  133. [January 06 at 15:56:04] <JackDoe> [I'm not going anymore.]
  134. [January 06 at 15:56:07] <Macchiato> (( fnm? ))
  135. [January 06 at 15:56:14] <JackDoe> [Friday Night Magic]
