Riven & Alucard
Alucard
Ever wonder if the universe is just a chessboard and we’re all pieces moving along a hidden script?
Riven
Maybe. If the universe is a chessboard, I’d still play my own game.
Alucard
Even if the universe's a chessboard, every player writes their own story. What's your opening move?
Riven
I’d open with e4 – a classic that claims the center and gives me options. It’s efficient, not flashy, and lets me control the board from the start.
Alucard
e4, a steady claim to the center, like a quiet storm that leaves room for whatever comes next.
Riven
Exactly. From there I can fork the game into a quiet study of patterns or a storm of tactics, whatever the board demands.
