An actor, and a party...

[Shidani]

Kalte, the god of chaos, enters the crystal palace, his typical look of insanity in his eyes and in his smile. Not bothering to look to see if he has an audience, Kalte announces his presence in a loud voice, "Ladies, Gentlemen, and anyone else, presenting the great master of magic himself, me." Kalte bows, in his mind's eye, he might as well be receiving a standing applause from five hundred adoring fans.

"Alas, that I may not stay for ever, for a scoundrel's lands are ever-shifting, and a scoundrel I have been called." He falls to his knees and feigns crying. Rising again, Kalte smiles, and again speaks, "But this is not a time for crying, but a time for naught but cheer and laughter! For today begins the week of celebration! It is the Week of Games!" Of course, there was no 'week of games', but it seems Kalte has randomly decided to start one...

Leaning against a nearby wall, Zaph watches Kalte's display, a bemused smile playing across his lips. As Kalte finishes his speech, Zaph applauds loudly and even whistles. "Tell me, sir," he says, "what sort of games do you have in mind?"

[Shidani]

"A grand game worthy of the gods to play, a game the mortals, with their infantile minds, call Tic-Tac-Toe!"

[chaotixdivine]

Zaph bursts out laughing. Such a grand entrance for such a simple game? When he finally stops laughing and manages to regain control of himself, Zaph says to Kalte,

"Well, I was going to take a nap, but I suppose I'd be up for a game."

[Shidani]

"And after that, we'll see what other games we can conjure up between us, and perhaps before and end of the week, we shall have a grand game none but the combined greatness of gods could create! A game with~..." Kalte keeps rambling on and on, obviously enjoying the sound of his own voice.

[chaotixdivine]

Zaph listens to the other god, enjoying Kalte's ramblings almost as much as he is. Finally, Zaph interrupts, saying, "I have an idea for a game..."

[Shidani]

Kalte stops his speaking, surprised by the announcement. "Oh, is that so? You must tell me of this game of which you have an idea of!"
