Greetings, everyone.

I am afraid I really cannot speak in support of the current movement towards an offensve against the - HIVE, was it? Although I am sure everyone involved has the best of intentions, I am unsure of the soundness of the strategy. Unless, of course, you are all quite intent to go to war with these people, in which case I would urge you to be sure that you are not acting in haste.

Still, such matters are hardly in my hands to influence.

I saw a mention of chess by a previous poster, but I believe she was not a particularly reputable person, so I did not reply. A shame, I rather enjoy the game. It caused me to wonder, in fact, what games all of you enjoy - there are very many people here from different worlds and times. It would be interesting to see what different games we are all familiar with, and indeed how many games spread across worlds. Many games, such as chess itself, are a form of recreational practise in strategy, after all - something vital to the progress of civilisation. Ah, but I am afraid I have brought up the subject of warfare once more. It seems impossible to avoid at times, given human history and the influence it has upon all our lives.

Still, if I might return to my intended query, what is your favourite game? Board game, card game or otherwise.

Mr. Stark, if I might have a word? I assure you it is purely a business matter I wish to discuss.

I think that would be wise. Something so serious should be well researched by all parties involved before beginning.

You know, I don't think we've met before. My name is Mary Marvel. What's yours?

[suck-it-irulan.livejournal.com]

I am Leto Atreides II. It is a pleasure to meet you, Mary.

ffff WHY DOES SHE ALWAYS TALK TO THE CREEPERS

[littleprovolone.livejournal.com]

And it's a pleasure to meet you too, Mr. Atreides! How long have you been in the City?

HE'S A NICE CREEPER REALLY.

[suck-it-irulan.livejournal.com]

Oh, only around a month or two. I am currently in the desert some distance from the City itself, actually.

SHE ALWAYS TALKS TO THE NICE CREEPERS. :\

[littleprovolone.livejournal.com]

Golly! What're you doing in the desert? I didn't think there were any towns or cities out there... Isn't it lonely?

HEY MARY WOULD YOU LIKE TO HELP HIM PROTECT HUMANITY FROM THE ENCROACHING MACHINE THREAT >_>

[suck-it-irulan.livejournal.com]

Oh, it is a little isolated, but it reminds me of home. I come from a desert planet originally, and one without so much... technology of convenience, as it were. I am sure I will be able to find some company even here, though.

SHE ALWAYS WANTS TO PROTECT HUMANITY

[littleprovolone.livejournal.com]

Oh, I sure hope you do. I just can't imagine being all by myself for such a long time!

What was your home like?

EXCELLENT *slowly hands over a Golden Path membership card*

The planet Arrakis. Originally, it was entirely desert - that is how it was when I was still a child. Now, it has been terraformed and has many forests, lakes and even oceans, but there remains a small desert, called the Sareer, that is surrounded by rock walls. I visit it sometimes, when I wish to think, and remember how things were.

Soooorrryyy, I'm behind on tagging and I seem to have missed this one!

[littleprovolone.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I don't think that exists where I come from. But... that's amazing, that they can convert an entire desert into lakes and forests!!
