The Millennium Falcon- Saturday

[thatwaslucky]

While the general vibe of the last day on Anoat had been anxiety, today was relief. They'd gotten away safely, no evidence of their months on the planet left for the First Order to discover. Most of the Resistance members were on the other ship, though Chewie, Leia and Rose stayed on the Falcon. Rey had plotted their course through hyperspace and had put the ship on autopilot, and today was kind of a day to just chill out on a space ship.

There were things to do. There was a lounge area with a dejarik table if you wanted to learn a new game, and another with a mostly empty bar and a sound system that Rey had literally never touched. If you felt like geeking out over tech, someone might put you to work. No, you can't fly the ship. Yes, you can sit there. No, seriously, don't touch anything.


[For le Resistance!]

Much like Barry, Liam had just opted not to sleep last night. One of the perks of being not-entirely-corporeal. So instead, he was just hanging out in the lounge for the moment. He thought about trying to learn dejarik, but he’d heard things about Chewie’s, uh, passion for the game, so... maybe some other time. He liked all his limbs where they were.

You know what you were getting though, Liam? You were getting Chewie waving you over to play.

For some reason no one had come over yet! Look at how cool the little chess aliens were!

[firstofitskind]

... Damnit, they were really cool. And Liam did like learning new games.

Maybe it'd be fine? It's not like he'd be good enough to beat someone who'd been playing for years when he was just starting, after all.

(Ignore the fact that within hours of being born he'd done just that with a game of fu'vlasha.)

He settled in across from Chewie. "You realize I've never played before, right?" he asked.

Chewie nodded, and grunted something along the lines of "Oh yeah, sure."

He even gestured for Liam to make the first move.

[firstofitskind]

Right, okay. Sure.

Liam selected one of his pieces and moved it forward. Not the worst choice he could've made, but still an obviously beginner strategy.

[bigwalkingcarpet]

Easy enough. Chewie moved his own first piece, looking pretty confident in it.

[firstofitskind]

Okay. Cool. He could work with that.

Liam moved another piece to a position that, if Chewie didn’t pick up on the gambit, might be able to attack one of his pieces in another few moves.

Or Chewie could attack it on his next move. One of those.
