Board Games
Who: Rose Tyler, Will Stanton, Clara Oswald
What: Board games book!
When: Orientation
Where: Board games book world :T
Warnings: Rose will be campy, I don't even apologize.
Notes: Starting with checkers!
Rose braced herself for a tough landing, and maybe even some foggy memories like being transmat beamed somewhere, but to her relief it was like none of those things, and she was crouched down as if she'd dimension cannon'd back in the earlier days before they could stabilize it even a little, back when it really was like getting shot out of a cannon; down on a perfect red square, lined with black ones on all sides, and red ones going diagonally. "Checkers?" she mumbled quietly, blinking, and taking it in.
The desire to laugh warred internally with her desire not to underestimate the danger of anywhere. Especially after the time with the Anne-droid and the Weakest Link, she wanted to take it seriously. And things were their most dangerous when they seemed nonthreatening, a joke. Although that said, she still couldn't help grinning. ADVENTURE! A CHECKERS ADVENTURE! Even nearly getting sucked into the void, she couldn't help but grinning, and this was probably a little less dangerous. She hoped.
"All right then," she laughed, bracing herself in her square, careful to make sure not to step out of line. "Let's see our opponents, yeah?" she gestured to the opposing side, already mentally running through strategies --
"Oh shoot," she bit her bottom lip. "Please don't have weird Gallifreyan alien rules or something." She almost wished Mickey was there. He was better at Checkers than her, but at least she would give it her best.

Rose watched Clara's chess-like manuever, and tiled her head.
She had ideas.... but all of them involved something completely reckless, dangerous, foolish, and would put her with the captured pieces. Which was a very Rose Tyler™ thing to do, but by definition, probably not very wise or smart. "Um, I could get captured...." Rose suggested lamely, "But you might need me for later stuff." Oh and the captured thing, it wasn't like she wanted to be, given that she wasn't sure how much the pieces would talk back to her and/or needed her emotional support. "Do you think we need to win, or just make it to the other side and get crowned?" She shook her head. "Nah, not the right question." It didn't matter, either way it would become evident quickly enough and better to focus on both trying to win, by getting to the other side and upgrading. "Let's see if we can get you crowned first, yeah? More manueverability." Clara would make a good queen. If a bit terrifying of one.
