scene xxv
ACTION;
A) [In the morning, Charles can be found living up to his actual age, being an old man and setting up a chessboard in the park!Someone save him before he starts feeding pigeons and wearing sweater vests. He doesn't seem to have a partner to play with. Not until you walk by, that is, at which point he smiles and gestures to the other side of the table.]
Why don't you take a seat? Let's have a match. [SUSPICIOUS... No, he's just that bored and in a rare social mood.]
B) [Or maybe you catch him a little later on, after he's packed away his chess set and is out walking his, uh... Horace. The giant beast actually seems pretty tame, all things considered, only stopping to sniff moving things (like you, whoops!) and occasionally making gross growling noises and drooling on the ground. So majestic.
For the unfortunate citizens, these two losers can also be found in much less docile situations - Charles trying to shoo his droolbeast away from a drone it's attempting to gnaw on, or perhaps Horace lolloping down the road with a few geese in its mouth.]
PHONE;
[And carrying on with the trend of being utterly unruffled by everything that happened over the weekend, Charles will pick up his phone in the early evening with a question for the masses.]
I'd like to know your opinion on concerts. Proper orchestral performances, I mean. Who here enjoys them? If something with that sort of music happened to be available in the city, would you attend? [His little fancy cultured self is starting to feel more deprived than usual okay... Having at least one other star performer now, all that's left is to gauge the interest of a potential audience.]

no subject
[He knows he's being mocked, but it's in a way he can deal with, by pretending that he's the one doing the mocking.]
no subject
Will you be kind enough to vacate the seat so that I might invite someone who knows how to play by the rules I'm aware of?
no subject
Of course, if you can find someone else who knows such archaic rules.
no subject
It's to my good fortune that most people in this town seem to be from roughly the same year as myself.
no subject
Then enjoy your games, Just Charles!
no subject
but he'll raise his free hand, nodding lazily. he isn't even going to gripe about that dumb nickname this time!] I'll be certain to do so.
