Play It, Don't Say It.
Necro shook his head at Jeson. He himself barely got to play regular chess in his lifetime, let alone chess with 5 people. He didn't think this was a good time for this anyway. But, it would take his mind off things. He accepted the drink warily. Taking a few sips and passing it back. If it was somehow poisoned it wouldn't have that much an effect if he didn't drink a ton.Entarriance said:"... well."
Carter appeared to have gone solo in zipping downwards towards a building, considering mainly how none of the group was really that insistent on following. The lower they were to the ground, the more an Infected could smell them. That enough was common sense, at least to them. But somehow, the tension eased from Go's shoulders now that Carter appeared to have left. Breathing out a sigh, he turned around towards the rest of the group.
"... hey, who wants to play pentagonal chess? We have 5 people!"
He appeared a little more enthusiastic than before. Before his teammates could question, he dove towards his bag. Unzipping it, there was a very fan-like object with checkered pattern on it. "Unfolding" it, he spread it out to a 5 sided figure, before appearing to lock something on the bottom of the board. Chess was glaring at him, in this weird state of disbelief and shock, while Xi curiously moved over to help set up. Playing anything right now might relieve the tension, and cutting everyone's throats right now did not seem like the wise choice. Jeson looked towards Necro and pointed to the group, a reassuring smile on his face.
"Well, okay, friend, do you know how to play pentagonal chess? I can help show the basics if you don't, but don't worry, you'll always do better than Go."
He urged his friend to go along towards the group, Jeson following himself. There were different coloured rocks of various sizes and gradients, but it was enough to fit on the board at least. These were their "pieces", because finding chess pieces in an apocalypse is the least of their concerns right now. Chess, while heavily reluctant, merely stood glaring harshly at Go before being pulled by Xi to join the game. They were in a circle around the board, as Go eagerly set up his own pieces.
"I'm definitely going to win this time."
"..."
"What?"
"Did you seriously dunk out room for supplies to bring the multiplayer chess board?!"
Unlike Chess' serious questioning, Go grinned and gave a thumbs up. Xi sighed at the two of their bantering, before looking towards Necro. Hopefully, he won't use this as an opportunity to take one of them out. That anxious thought was always on the back of his head, that any moment now, Go might actually be dead instead of in a hostage situation. But he solemnly believed that they could recruit the kid, in contrast to their own leader's thoughts. Holding out one of the oxalis-induced drinks in a cup (that Jeson gathered from the cafe) towards Necro, Xi offered the drink to him in hopes of maybe easing some more tension between them.
"This has oxalis herb in it. It's like, a really good Vitamin-C boost that kind of tastes like Lemon Sparkling water, with less sparkle and lemon."
