Diplomatic Immunity: Three on the Boat

Kallithyia: Palmaid/Female (Amazon)

RA: [sblock]“Thank you, Autolycus, that would be nice,” Kallithyia admitted with a grin as she waited for him to write out the game's information for her, “is there anything else I should know before we start? ”

OOC: Cool. I wasn’t sure if you where wanting to test something or not. We can play or skip if you prefer. Though I would be lying if I didn’t have something planned. Kalli’s got an idea or two to distract Auto from his game. (Without getting naked or threatening him with harm… )

"Well, the movement can be complicated--for instance, most pieces cannot move through allies' spaces, though almost all of yours can...but I'll write that all out for you."

*He finishes writing eventually.*

"There! Let's start with a few simple moves for practise, okay?"

*He leads Kalli through a few moves to help her get the hang of it, leading to fairly even gains for both sides.*

"Is it starting to make more sense?"

RA: [sblock]“I thank so,” Kallithyia admitted with a nod before giving her next move considerable thought, she looks up at Autolycus for his approval after she made her move, “like so?” [/sblock]

"Yes, very nice!--that's a good move, since it not only takes out one of my weaker pieces but also gives you a good field position to attack from the side or behind if I advance now."

Kallithyia: Palmaid/Female (Amazon)

RA: [sblock]“Good, that is what I hoped for,” Kallithyia replied proudly and waited for Autolycus to start his move before asking him a question, “so, Autolycus, do you spend a lot of your time with Aspasia?”

OOC: That ought to distract him into a poor move or two.

"No, why would you say that?" he asks curiously, his cheeks reddening at the thought as he makes his next move absent-mindedly, paying more attention to the conversation and helping Kalli learn the rules.[/SBLOCK]

Kallithyia: Palmaid/Female (Amazon)

RA: [sblock]“Well,” Kallithyia started absently as she checked her sheet and the quickly moved one of her own pieces capturing one of Autolycus’s more important units, “well because when she came to tend to your wounds she said you where such a sweetie,” she let the thought linger for a second before adding, “so… I sort of naturally figured you where one of the men she engaged more actively…”

* Though she had smiled the whole time Kallithyia was rather surprised to learn that Autolycus hadn’t been sharing a bed with Aspasia… The thought struck her as bizarre but she pushed it aside to concentrate on the game. * [/sblock]

"Well, I've been with her before...most people on the ship have at least once, I think, to help ease their pain...for me, she helped me come to terms with the death of my parents. But after that, I haven't wasted any of her time--I know she's busy."

*Autolycus uses the overextension in Kalli's troops from taking his piece to force her into a little bit of a corner while he mops up a few of her smaller pieces as he talks, but his attention seem elsewhere, so he doesn't notice that in so doing he's leaving a path for Camilla to his second-in-command.*[/SBLOCK]

Kallithyia: Palmaid/Female (Amazon)

RA: [sblock]* Kallithyia frowned slightly at the news, she wasn’t truly sure why, as she stared at the game notes that Autolycus had so nicely made for her, the news hadn’t rally surprised her as helping others in need was Aspasia’s job function but Autolycus blushed so fully, so completely, she was shocked that coupling with a woman would even appeal to him when tragedy struck… *

“That was truly kind of her,” Kallithyia said after double-checking Camilla’s possible relatively safety in the spot now occupied by Autolycus’ second in command, it looked safe so she moved Camilla before looking up at him with a curious smile, “but I must admit I’m rather surprised, Autolycus. You’re so shy when it comes to women, sex, and coupling with them that I’m rather surprised that you would consider do so in a time of morning.”[/sblock]

[SBLOCK=Kalli]
"Oh, no, it wasn't during the mourning period--I didn't even come to this ship until later, you see. But I was still kind of depressed about it years later, and Aspasia says that that's unhealthy, so she helped straighten me out--Oh, nice move by the way. I could take Camilla with my Archon and defeat her, but Camilla is the favoured devotee of our virgin goddess of the hunt, who strikes down anyone who defeats Camilla with her silver bow, causing them to die as well, so I would then lose the game."

*Instead he traps Camilla so that she can't move or take any of his troops without exposing herself to archer fire from behind, which keeps her immobile, but also safe, for the moment.*
