Summer 7 - Game Night

[ It's a rainy afternoon on Norrhamn, with a distant thunderstorm rumbling over the gray sea. Typical Swedish summer, if we're honest, but that only means that the residents on this island know exactly how to combat it: with a game night.

The main dining hall has been cosied up for the occasion. There's plenty of blankets to go around and the tables have been laid out with flickering tealights and a variety of board- and card games of varying difficulty. There's Scrabble of course, and games like Settlers of Catan, Clue, Ludo and many others, along with regular decks of playing cards. There may be a few Witchcraft: The Collection around here too...

Alongside the usual offerings of hot food that's served throughout the day, the kitchen staff has set up a table with tea, coffee and hot chocolate, as well as treats like cinnamon buns and cookies, salty snacks and candy. Perfect to nibble on while in a particularly thrilling game of Backgammon, or just a good setup for a rainy day fika. ]

[Yeah, you lost him like 10 words in. Noel tries, he honestly tries, to keep up...but needlessly complicated is a really great way to word this type of thing, and complicated isn't exactly what he does.

A pastime for bored nobles. He can't help a grin at that.]


Doesn't surprise me that much. I've noticed similarities between other worlds before. Foods, holidays...things like that.

[While Zel takes the king, Noel reclaims the knight, examining it again.]

Not exactly big on games, where I come from. It's possible it used to exist in my world, too, but...not in my time.

[ and that's how these two nerds get stuck forever, staring intently at chess pieces as if they contain all the secrets of the multiverse ]

You've traveled between worlds before, then? [ Zel's not surprised, honestly; a magical dimension-bending island seems likely to draw people who are at least open-minded to dimensional travel.

He puts the king back in its place, turning it so the cross lines up nice and parallel with the board lines. ]
