| She wandered into the clock tower soaked from the cool rain as she headed up to top the top floor. She couldn't understand why her thoughts kept going back to Joachim. | |

| -breathes life and sparkles back into this topic-
She was deaf to the loud clicks and buzzes of the clock tower she sat in, consumed by shuffling pieces rapidly on her board. Practicing by herself was actually very beneficial, but of course, company was always better...
But most people are stupid. Except Eagle. Her thoughts were bordering arrogant, but Ace knew most of it was bravado. | |

| I know those sounds anywhere, it's the sound of chess pieces on a board. Such fond memories of that game. It was where my fixation with puzzles and matters of the mind first grew.
"Pardon me, would you prefer to have a competitor?" | |

| Stranger. Luckily for her, she was in her usual ambiguous attire of baggy clothing, shoving her cap further down over her blonde tufts. Clearing her throat, she continued moving pieces.
'Depends if you're any good.' her voice was almost toneless. | |

| "Any goo..?" My voice turns indignant and competitive.
"I'll have you know I am undefeated in chess. I've won competitions, tournaments and championships. But then again I believe corn starch could've done the same thing with how dull my opponents were." | |

| another champion? how is it that I've never encountered these people before? 'I too, am also a champion.' she gestured for him to sit down opposite her, resetting the board. | |

| 'Well playing against yourself does get rather tedious.' she added. 'I'll go first.' she simply moved a pawn, gauging.
yet again, cant actually play chess, make it vague? | |

I move a knight out, setting a brilliantly concealed trap for my next move. | |

| She hadn't underestimated him, she never underestimated anyone, but this was still proving more difficult than it had seemed initially.
'Ah but you see, by doing that your trap is also rendered useless.' she pointed out neatly, before continuing with caution. | |

| I look at the board again, she was right. How could I have missed that?
"Well... that IS interesting." | |

| She let a smirk lift the corner of her lips, only barely. She was still reluctant to give much away, since they were two complete strangers. 'Champion for a reason.' Ace was planning another trap, constantly attacking. | |

| "ah ah ah... look who's gotten careless.." I take one of her higher value pieces with a triumphant smirk. | |

| She refused to curse, for she never gave up. Her pawns had been inching around his higher pieces. Although in theory they were powerless, they were also the most dangerous for their underestimation. 'We'll find out soon enough who's the most careless out of us.' | |

| "Well you'd better hope it's me, or else you'll be in checkmate soon." Her pieces were dwindling, at the expense of some of mine as well. | |

| He hadn't realized that she was setting him up for checkmate too, good. Although, Ace had come to the conclusion that she might not actually win this one... I've never failed before.
'Maybe it will be you, mr nameless man.' | |

| "Let's make that a game shall we? If you win, I'll tell you my name."
"Oh and that's not going to work." I take her piece about to put me in checkmate but it leaves me wide open. | |

| 'And if you win, I'll tell you mine.' she smirked. 'I believe it worked just fine.' she captured one of the highest pieces, reducing them both down to limited numbers. | |

| "My my my..." I say in complete amazement, she was actually on par with me.
"It seems someone is very bright." I start sending up my pieces to try and ensnare the king. | |

| 'As are you.' She admitted, also surprised. But with it was a slight hint of fear. First Eagle, now this man... was she slipping?
Ace prevented the movements, barely whispering. 'Stalemate.' | |

| "That's... not possible..." I could hardly allow those words to reach audible status. This was the first chess game that didn't result in my victory. I had NEVER been stalemated before.
"Well what do we do now about our game?"
"OH i know, what if we only gave initials?" | |

| wondering if she would go with her birth name or with her initials as Ace...
I must be slipping, it's the second time, you don't make the same mistake twice.
'If that's what you request, then so be it. You'll just have to trust I don't make them up.' she kept her cap concealed over her eyes, she knew her expression usually gave away too much.
