Chris awoke drowzy and tired. "what, where am I? this doesn't look familiar." Chris said aloud. He slowly sat up from the carpeted floor, and took in the area. Four walls, so a room....one door, sealed(no handle or apparent lock).

"so Im a prisoner" he thought.

3 sofa's, "Maybe a Comfy Prisoner then?"
4 chairs, and a glass table, with a chess set on it. "hmm, chess, yep...that settles it, I'm in a rendition of breathing room meets, chess meets, cube. this could be trouble."

"Everyone knows 'breathing room' without the people is just a room, so that explains all the sleeping bodies on the floor." he kept musing.

he spots the bathroom. "Oh thank god, there's a bathroom. I really have to go." he walks around the people quickly, and puts his hand on the doorknob of the bathroom, opens it and walks inside.

Garsin woke up and stared at the ceiling for a few minutes. He sat up, looking around. He saw a bunch of people sleeping the same way he was.

"What the... I could have sworn that I was at home when I went to sleep," he said while looking for a way out. He pulled out his flask and took a swig from it (7/8 remaining). He placed it back when he heard the toilet flush.

Chris walks out of the bathroom, wiping his hands on his jeans. "Hi, your awake too then." he said more as a statement then a question.

Chris walks over to the chess set, the nervous knot in his stomach making him uncomfortable. "What's your name? Do you know why we're here?" he says while glancing at the LCD bracelet that's strapped to his wrist and featuring a chess board. An identical chess bracelet was on Garsin's arm as well. A single blip appeared in one of the lower pawn spots.

Ganrsin nodded toward Chris, "My guess is as good as yours. My name is Garsin, and you?"

"My name is Alex Avalon." said chris lightly. "As far as I can tell, we are (trapped). Not completely sure why we are here, but it might have to do with the invitation to play chess by our unknown host."

"invitation to play chess?" Garsin thought out loud. "I had a friend who was goin' on about how he was invited to some prestigious chess tournament. Last thing I remember was reading the invitation and then waking up here." He looked around the room for moment then smirked. "Ya'know, it is probably better that I was sent instead. He may be a heck of a lot better at chess, but he would have been scared stupid in a situation like this."

"Chess is one of those many-meaning games. Take the royal family for instance, they appear in chess, cards, stories, and songs. We should expect the unexpected here." Chris said while talking to Garsin casually, not really understanding why or when his figurative "bubble" popped. "Why us?, that's a good question. There I go, rambling again, your very easy to talk to. So, what's your ideas?, being that we 'seemingly' have time, and nowhere to go."
