Who: Hawke and YOU
What: THE RETURN OF BOARD GAEMS
When: June 18th-June 21st, afternoons.
Where: Der common room.
Warnings: INTENSE MONOPOLY ACTION
As someone who enjoyed the idle diversion now and again, Hawke found it slightly depressing that the massive piles of board games in the common room got so little use.
He'd discarded the frivolous games that required little to no thought, instead busying himself with a deck of cards and solitaire, the boxes that contained sophisticated board games like Risk and Stratego piled neatly on a coffee table next to him. It was a welcome respite from his most recent project of pouring over the documents filched from the old Black Hole headquarters, and Hawke had to admit he needed some time to focus on something else.
Coffee and cards was usually the way to go.

The wunderkind sat on the chair opposite to him, putting her arms on the sides and looking over at his game. He seemed to be on his way to winning so there was no need to comment on his lack of skill like she loved to tease him about.
"Figured if I didn't find you in your room, you'd be either in the cafeteria or here." She crossed her legs. "Hey! You wanna play a game with me? I haven't had a good game of chess since a while!"

He supposed one could reproduce a similar effect in real life, but he honestly didn't feel like picking cards up off the floor.
When Lash joined him, he looked up and immediately began pushing the cards together. No sense in Solitaire when there were two people. He reached for the chessboard instead.
"Of course. It has been a long time, hasn't it."

"Since you seem so confident in your abilities, I'll let you choose. White or black?"

"You know, it's kinda interesting when you think about it." She pushed one of her center white rooks forward, looking around to make sure no one else was there. "The chess pieces are white and black too. White Dwarf, Black Hole...and it was one of the only games available back home. It's also a game about conquering your opponent and capturing their king too."

He watched her first move carefully and sent forth one of his pawns. "Admittedly, the cards were to distract myself from that very thing."

She beamed.
"He asked me to name him!" Someone looked immensely proud of herself.

"Zapdos is coming back?" True, the Pokemon's departure had been sudden but not unnoticeable, and he wasn't sure how to feel about the inevitable return of the noisy student.
"And what did you name him?"
no subject
"He is! We talked a bit and I think he just needed a bit of time out. Old enough to be part of the RAs too! As for the name..." she offhandedly pointed to one of the game systems in the back. "It comes from this game called Makanikki Kingdom. You play Overlord Zebba and his main rival is this loud mouthed guy named Alexander." Could you see the irony in there? Lash certainly did. "He gets nicknamed Alex a lot in the game and he's the god of thunder! I found it fitting." She crossed her arms again.
"And Zapdos...err Alex didn't protest. It does also means powerful king or something."
Naming your Pokemon after video game characters. This wasn't a video game, Lash.

He folded his hands and rested his chin on them, contemplating his next move.
"You and Raiden," he said, "and your video games."
