Two good posts already. Oh, so very delightful to see schemes already hatching. And as old as the 'chess game as a metaphor for conflict between two people' thing is, I very much enjoyed it. Very easy to imagine the conversation and room, even though little was said toward description. Oh, and it's not Orso, it's Osgar.

I am exhausted, however, and will see you all tomorrow. Remember, you all have two weeks to finish your posts before the new season. A number of people are busy/on vacation, so I'm more than willing to be lenient this first round.
