+ Chess is a Gentle-Queen's Game +

Who: Everyone in Wonderland!
Where: The chessboard hills
When: Monday, July 15, all day starting at 10:00 AM
Rating: PG-13 (probably)
Summary: The Red Queen has accepted a challenge from the Queen of Hearts.
The Story:
♥ ICly, characters who will act as pieces were chosen by either queen. The Queen of Hearts announced her choices to her Mirrors very directly, with an order to show up at 10:00 AM on the chessboard, ready to fight. The Red Queen announced her choices more politely, but just as firmly, with a text message sent out over the network listing her chosen pieces and requesting their assistance to protect their fellow Real things. Characters were not ICly able to respond to this message, but the Red Queen will be available after the event for questions/demands/angry rants.

♥ Those pieces who choose to obey the summons will have time to gather any items or weapons they might want to have with them, within reason. Those who don't heed the fliers will find themselves suddenly and instantly transported to their square on the chessboard when 10:00 AM rolls around. They will arrive with anything that was on their person at the time, as well as one weapon (whatever it would be normal for them to use).

♥ Each player sports an armband (since mirrors do tend to look so like their counterparts ♥), black for the Mirrors and white for the Real things, with the shape of their assigned chess piece printed in the opposite color.

♥ Pieces will find that they can't leave their assigned spots until they're told what square to move to by either the Queen of Hearts or the Red QUeen. And if they refuse to move, after a couple of moments, an unseen force will scoot them along to their new space.

♥ When threading moves on the board, please find the appropriate thread under which to comment! It might be helpful to label your thread with which moves/encounter you're playing out.

♥ Players on the board can not communicate with those in the stands and vice versa (other than by jumping around and flailing, I guess). However, players on the board can communicate directly with those in squares adjacent to them or with any challenger who enters their respective squares. Since some pieces have a lot of down time, feel free to have them chat with others on the board while they're waiting around.

♥ Directions from the Queens can be assumed. Go ahead and play out moves without them being officially announced.

♥ The plotting and info post for this log is here.

When Sinclair shoots Susano-O, it recoils, and Yousuke mimics its movements exactly. Normally a summoner and their Persona closely linked, and do feel each other's pain, it's almost as if these two have become the same being. They shake off the attack together and lift their weapons again.

Yes, he's totally going to stab you to death. :|

"Aw, hell."

That sword of his looks like hell on wheels, but there's not much Sinclair can do about it. He stares the duo down as they come ever closer for a moment, and has just enough time to light himself a new cigarette and close his eyes.

Which he'd feel bad about doing, but it's not the first time, and damn it all, he doesn't want to watch that thing enter his body. When it does, he hunches over it, cursing softly under his breath; when he's released, he sinks to the ground without pretense, coughing up blood. It doesn't take him long to die, lucky for him.

"Good game," he has time enough to gurgle before disappearing.
