Who: Leliana
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Aboard the Iskaulit
When: Now!
[She knows everyone is hard at work on deciphering the texts they have been given. Leliana would help, were she given a word. Instead she has found herself focusing on other worthy pursuits. The game room was intriguing but she liked to make her own fun. Using pieces of wood scrapped by scavengers on the planet surface, Leliana has fashioned herself a chess board. There were some familiar figures to those of Thedosian variety - The Queen might just look like Andraste, for example.
When Leliana appears to the network, she is holding one of her crudely made pieces between her fingers.]
It has become obvious that so many are either under duress or worrying over the distress message once more. I think a break would not be out of line, no? Should anyone care for a game of chess, I will be here. Please, do not let the happenings down below cause each other more stress than needed. We will sort this out in time.
Should anyone need further introductions: I am addressed as Sister Nightingale to the fleet at large. If you seek a game of challenge, you may call upon me.
[What most will be unfortunate to find is that Leliana had every intention of cheating.]

Action
[Riona strolls up alongside of Leliana, glancing down at the chess board. She can barely remember the last time she played.]
Chess was never my strong suit, believe it or not. Father always trounced me in it.
Action
[Leliana looks up at her when she arrives.]
If it makes you feel better I wouldn't dare cheat you at Chess?
[Hey she's totally being honest alright. She'd definitely cheat Alistair though. And has tried to cheat Cullen more than once. The damned pretty boy was too good at it to lose, though.]
I could even teach you to improve your game if you like.
Action
[Really now, cheat when cheating is the name of the game!]
A lesson would be good, I think. Though, I think I must resign myself to the fact that I'll never be good at it.
Re: Action
[Excuses, excuses.]
Besides, I only ever win against people who aren't actually good at chess.
[Cullen beats her every damn time :|]
You'll be fine. I can teach you to better recognize different strategies.
Action
[Stern look ahoy. She loves you, Lels, but you deserve to lose if you cheat. Tsk.]
Then by all means! I'll gladly take a lesson.
Action
[She grins playfully, gesturing for Riona to set up her side of the board.]
Should the two of you ever cross paths in the fleet I imagine he would be a better teacher, but for now I will do nicely.
Action
[Cullen is an uneasy subject to broach. She's heard from Leliana about how he's gotten better, but all she sees when she thinks of him is that broken man in the Tower, hateful and enraged.]
It would be interesting to talk to him again, outside of such... drastic circumstances. [She begins to set up her side, laying out the pieces.]
Action
Yes, I imagine he'd feel the same. You two aren't so different in your ideals. It is merely the paths you took that diverged, no?
[She'd smile if it wasn't such a sad topic, which is why she adds as a jape -]
Just don't play him at Wicked Grace. You'll find out exactly how easy that armor comes off.
[Poor, poor, Cullen.]
Action
Are they? He... I suppose I shouldn't hold anything he said about the mages against him, given his state. But that conversation still haunts me.
[She snorts.]
Not a good bluffer or liar, I take it?
