[ There are some people in the world who really shouldn't be given any sort of technology or utensil without first receiving some hands-on instruction. Well, even more than is standard upon arrival. Peter Pettigrew, unfortunately, is one of them. The video jolts and even falls to the floor before it rights itself, but upside down. ]

Hn. Owls really would just be easier.

[ It rattles again, and really, wearing a bracelet should not be so difficult. ][ A sigh. ]

Merlin, this is -- well. I... I was just wondering if maybe anyone played chess? I... I don't know.

Something to do, maybe? Besides... well, this thing.

[ He gestures to the bracelet, which only serves to make the video fuzzy and flicker out. Sorry, he's never been very good at introductions, and certainly no good at making many friends. ]

If you actually have a chess board and know how to play yourself, I'd be happy to have a game. I'll even go easy on you.

Well. I don't have a board but... hm.

[ Easy on him? Well, it wouldn't be difficult. Peter isn't the best of chess players, but he finds it entertaining. ]

I could make one -- or find one. I -- er. Didn't think about that.

You don't have a board? ... You asked to play chess and you don't have a set? Well, may I say that you're doing a fine job already.

[The Master finds it hard to go easy on anyone but as it's been proved with Barty, it's always so much more fun when he doesn't win all the time. He could trade a challenge for a bit of fun.]

I made one a few months back, it's mostly cardboard and paper. When I buy myself a proper one, you can have it. If you so wish anyway.
