| Robin: Allright, your turn, Talon.
|
| Talon: Okay, but give me a moment to think here, Robin. |
| Robin: Sure. Take your time.
|
| Chance: ... Robin, what are you doing? |
| Robin: What does it look like? I'm playing Chess with Talon.
|
| Chance: I don't want you playing any of your sneaky little tricks on him, Robin. |
| Robin: My, how rude! What on Phainein makes you think I'd do something like that?
|
| Chance: Maybe because of the time you conned Raymond out of all of his money by playing a card game with him? |
| Robin: It's not my fault he was such a bad player.
|
| Chance: It is your fault that you were making up the rules as you went along. |
| Talon: I think it's okay, Chance. We're not playing for money. |
| Robin: Yes. Besides, I'd play with Chester, but he's preoccupied at the moment...
|
| Chester: Dude, okay, this time, I'll be O's.
Dammit! Lost again. Okay, I'll be O's again...
Dude! WTF? Okay, one more try. I think I'll get it this time...
Consarnit!!
|
| Chance: ...and you still love this guy? |
| Robin: If I didn't, who would? |
| Honen: Stupid children, don't you know how to be quiet? A mad scientist can't do any research around here with you making so much noise, ay? |
| Chance: Watch it, Honen. I'm the librarian here, not you. |
| Talon: Sorry, Dr. Calzoun. We didn't mean to interrupt you. |
| Honen: Bah...zit...nevermind. |
| Talon: ... So, um, what exactly are you researching? |
| Honen: Why you want to know, mountaindevil? |
| Talon: Uh, just curious...Um, something else I wanted to ask. It's been kind of bothering me for some time now... |
| Chester: Dude, crap, man...I just can't figure this game out...
|
| Robin: Try being the X's, Chet. |
| Chester: Oh, dude...didn't think of that. I'll give it a try... |
| Honen: You were saying, mountaindevil? |
| Talon: Well, I know how you like...want to conquer all the beings who have magical powers...But what about me? I have magic in my blood, but I can't actually use it. So, um, technically, I'm not a magic-user. But it is still there in my blood. So, would you have to crush me, too? |
| Honen: |
| Robin: Woo...tree in the woods... |
| Chance: Talon? |
| Talon: Oh, yes, Chance? |
| Chance: Please don't ask questions like that around here. The universe might implode again. |
| Talon: Oh, sorry... |
| Chester: WOO-DOGGIES!! WILLYA LOOK AT THAT!! I played as the X's AND I FINALLY WON!!
Dude, I am awesome!!! Thanks for the tip, Robin.
|
| Robin: *sigh* I just hope THAT doesn't cause the universe to implode. |
FWOOMP!!! |
| Talon: Whoah, what the heck? |
| Chester: Dude! |
| Robin: Universe implosion? |
| Chance: No. Power outage. |
| Honen: 3rd time zis week. Should we do someting? |
| Chance: No, sit tight. Let Lizaki and Deuce handle it. |
| Talon: I never noticed it before, but I appear to have hazel eyes. |
| Robin: I wonder what could be causing these blackouts? |
| Chester: Dude, I think it has something to do with that. |
| Chance: With what? |
| Chester: That. |
|
| Talon: Gah! Is it a ghost? A haunted chess piece? Wha..? |
| Chance: More like Robin's magic tricks. |
| Robin: No not me, I swear it. And no one else in this room is psionic or magical... |
| ???: Oh, no, that was just me, I bumped the table when I woke up. |
| Robin: Ack! Who is that? |
| ???: The only person around here who doesn't have eyes. |
| Robin: Zumo?! What the hell are you doing under the table?? |
| Zumo: I told you I was asleep. I couldn't help it. Honen's research always has that effect on me. |
| Honen: Wretched worm! Dat's where you been all zis time? |
| Zumo: Chill, man, I'll go scope out the power situation since I don't need light to see. And...by the way...you've got some serious eyeball deformity goin' on there, man. |
| Honen: Aye, yai, yai. Ver stupide. |
| Chester: Dude, if we were an animated cartoon, we'd be saving big time on the animation bill right now. |
| Robin: But we're not, so I guess all we're really saving is a little bandwidth. |
| Honen: And according to my research, zis site uses only 1% of itz alloted bandwidth. |
| Talon: Seriously? Is that what you've been researching all this time? |
| Honen: Aye. I had to make sure zis website had enough space for me to upload all my work. |
| Talon: Cool! We must have an awesome host. |
| Chance: Honen, stop trying to turn Talon into a blatant promo for our webhosting service. |
| Zumo: ELLLLLL-O! We have power in 5, 4, 3, 2... |
FWOOMP!!! |
| Robin: Well, thank goodness that's over. |
| Zumo: You're telling me. For awhile there, I thought I wasn't going to actually appear in my first appearance in this series. |
| Chance: Any idea what caused it, Zumo? |
| Zumo: Yeah. Seems there's a giant cat roaming loose in the ventilation system. It keeps tripping the power cords. |
| Chester: Dude! Now that the power's back, I can play another game...
Dude...this could be really difficult...I have yet to score a point.
|
| Robin: *sigh* Checkmate, Talon. |
| Talon: Well, at least I'm still doing better than Chester! >D |
