It was a nice day in Shirotsume, not cold yet not hot, clear weather with minimal clouds and the nice golden sun high in the sky. It was around noon, now, or rather 1pm, as it was exactly 12:38 but no one pays attention to specifics anyways. The sounds of birds could be heard chirping, and one could say it almost seemed perfect.
Almost.
Of course, since this was a feudalistic society, there were military leaders patrolling around and watching over the serfs who slaved away in the fields while the prissy rich got to stay inside and enjoy their games of chess. Well, most of them at least. One specific noble in one specific mansion got his ass handed to him in a game of chess. He was a short, pudgy man with an extremely large moustache, and his face was scrunched up so hard you could see the anger through every one of the folds. He yelled and screamed at his opponent, then got his personal Guard to throw the winner out, literally.
"I WILL NOT LOSE IN A GAME OF CHESS TO SOME SLEEPWALKING PANSEY!!!"
The man yelled, and waved his fist at the body laying in the middle of the dirt road, face down and not moving. The purple haired girl, as today she was a girl, Alexis Hata's coat just comforted her too much and she didn't want to move. She just raised her hands in a thumbs up, and curled into a ball and went into her dreamland, still half conscious of what was going on around her. She never woke up, even after being thrown out, but now she is out cold for the most part. The serfs around her gathered in a group and stared, muttering amongst one another about her being crazy. Alexis turned her head on the ground, not really caring. She was in bliss, until a sharp pain caught her in the lower back. Her chessboard struck her from above, a projectile thrown by one of the guards out one of the windows of the mansion. Alex yelled in agony, and rubbed her back after shooting upward and grabbing the board. Luckily, it wasn't broken, and every piece was still inside it. It was a board that had a little drawer inside of it to hold the pieces, as well as checkers pieces too.
"Hmm... Time to find a partner..."
