| It takes too long to talk in PM, if you were wondering why we were taking forever.
Nc6 is the move. |

| I'd be psyched about this if it was on real maps.
As it is... meh. |

| So apart from my extremely tiny level of Kanji knowledge, does 2. say "My Clothes"?
Don't worry, it's only slightly stupid. |

| It's still incredible.
We're bending something the way we would want to with light, so it's a step in that direction. |

| Sorry I took so long, I have more homework than can possibly be good for me.
But this has been on my mind for a while and I think I'm gonna go for Qd6. Also I'm most likely not particularly good at chess anymore. I haven't played in maybe three years. My skills have probably deteriorated. But watch if you'd like.  |

| Kinst nods vaguely at Everia as she leaves the room, then sets his glass down on the counter with a soft clink. Securing his own pair of chopsticks from the same drawer, he takes one of the nondescript plates, only to set it down again closer to the window. Leaning forward, he begins to eat his portion of the fish slowly and pensively, savoring each taste along with each thought.
It really is delicious. It tastes as fresh and sublime as a new spring morning would, if it could be caught and cooked into a meal. The future is even more exhilarating, eh? The memory of the fish will exist forever, but the fish itself exists only in the present. Kinst would far rather eat the fish than remember it. Isn't it lucky that he can do both...? Kinst is forced back into reality as someone enters the kitchen. Some indescribable change in the air of the room unfailingly identifies her as Captain Eysa. She traverses the room in a few quick steps, her bare feet making only the softest of sounds on the ship's planks as she takes her plate of fish and her chopsticks in a way that is by now habit among the crew of the Ryonid. She sets down her food next to Kinst and leans on the counter, mimicking his relaxed posture. "Hello, Kinst. Which avenue of thought do you traverse today? The futility of human existence, perhaps? Whether the means justify the ends?" She takes her first bite of fish with the same cloudlike aimlessness as she gives her jolly criticism of Kinst's apparent philosophical addiction. Kinst is struck, not for the first time, by how well-educated the captain is, despite her impressive muscles and seafaring instincts. "Now that you mention it," Kinst glances away from the window at the captain's sharp green eyes, "It had just occurred to me that there are fewer dichotomies around than people think." He chews another piece of fish in a contemplative manner, turning to take in the whole picture presented by the captain. Her short blond hair seems out of place in this poorly lit galley; it yearns as a flower does for the shining sunlight, without which it does not shimmer and appears drab and dull. Ever utilitarian, she's wearing a simple white shirt and nondescript beige pants, with little attention taken to the neatness of her appearance. She carries no weapon, but a mere glance at her arms suggests she would be less deadly were she to hold a sword. Captain Eysa is indeed an admirable woman, observes Kinst. She stands on her own two feet, holds this ship together with her own two hands and strength of will, and acts with a sureness that Kinst feels he could never hope to match. It also helps that she doesn't tire of his musings as quickly as Everia does. "Dichotomies... Is night the same as day, red the same as green, and lead the same as gold, merely because you have decided it? All humanity should thank you, for every poor man is as a rich man and every misfortune is good luck. Truly, a great miracle has been worked in my kitchen today." Eysa smiles sarcastically before consuming several more pieces of excellent fish. "Alright, so that one needs a bit more work," admits Kinst, "But I have a statement in mind now of such indisputable, indivisible truth that even you will be convinced of its self-evidence." Noting that the captain is still eating, though her eyes now affirm her curiosity, he continues, "May I go on? This fish is superb!" The captain thinks this over for a moment, then swallows the current bite of fish and gives a short burst of laughter. "Kinst, the realist. Incredible." She smiles, then stands up. Her plate is empty, as is Kinst's. "Well, I prefer the open air to a shaded kitchen. I'll be on deck, watching the sky. We won't make landfall until dusk, so don't die of boredom until then, understand?" She walks with characteristic authority out of the galley and presumably up to the deck. Kinst turns back to the window, remembering the stillness of the sea here. By dusk, eh? Not with the way the water is now, we won't. It might be a whole day from now at this rate. Well, that can change... Moments later he finds himself standing at the prow, gazing off at the emerald silhouette of the tropical island shimmering in the distance. That was wrong, too, wasn't it? The climate here is totally wrong for the region of sea, unless we are farther off course than I had thought possible. You can't have icebergs in the midst of rainforests, can you? He shakes his head. Too many mysteries. It'll take too long to get to shore by conventional means. Let's do something a little unconventional. He reaches out with his mind, feeling the shape of the water around the Ryonid. Smooth, soft, pliant water, without resistance to his magic. That's odd... This water shouldn't have been affected by magic before, unless there are people on this island. Well, perhaps this isn't a new frontier after all. Stranger things have happened. Either way, the water here is easy to change. He just has to reach out into the depths, and pull... The ship rises on an upswell of water, a wave forming at the stern. Keep it balanced, keep it steady, and move... And then they are as if flying through the water and the air. The sea tosses up no foam, and the ship leaves no wake, as the Ryonid has become a gentle blade, cleaving the water but leaving no wound. Kinst stares straight ahead, feeling the power of the wind on his face and the exhilaration of total control. This is a perfect moment, this is why he has become part of The Rain, this is how mankind is meant to travel. Soaring along waves, gliding over bright blue oceans, experiencing life at a perfect speed. And the perfect moment ends; the craft slows down slightly, its momentum still carrying it onwards without additional power. Kinst gives a deep satisfied sigh, and lies down on the deck, breathing quickly as he calms down. Now things will start to become more mundane, and he will be drawn back into reality. But just for a short while, there was a perfect moment. |

| Where's the option for this thing being several years old and thus unexciting?
I mean yeah it's cool at first but the novelty wears thin quickly. |

| Well, I don't know how we could stop you from doing it through PM, but I'm uncertain as to the legality of it myself. If it becomes a debate I'm all for suggestions from the public.
As you no doubt expected, e4. |

Hey guys.
It was the scariest thing I could think of. Sorry if there's already a thread...  |

| There isn't enough room in the last name category for my entire last name.
So I'm guessing it's not in the database. Being as it's, y'know, hyphenated. 1,412,852 people have the same first name as me, though. |

| I've been thinking about this for a while.
If people's souls are recycled, what happens as the population goes up? Where do their souls come from? I believe that death is final and there is no soul. |
