BLACK PAWN C: Retrieve spellbook on LEVITATION MAJYYX from the LIBRARIUM.
The book on LEVITATION MAJJYX is not in the librarium, due to an embarrassing incident the BLACK PAWN C doesn't really wanna talk about.
BLACK PAWN C: Cut chute, fall into skybox until you loop around to the top of the board. Try to aim for the ADJUDICATOR.
Oh, the skybox doesn't loop. The BLACK PAWN C found that out the same day it lost the book on LEVITATION MAJJYX. It dropped it over the edge hoping to measure how long it took to come back, and it just... Never did. It doesn't know where the skybox goes, but it most certainly does not come back around.
ROARING KNIGHT: Retrieve TEXTBOOK on NEGATIVE LUMINANCE from the LIBRARIUM.
NEGATIVE LUMINANCE? What, like DARK MAGIC? It already knows the basics of DARK MAGIC by heart, same as every BLACK PIECE, and the same way WHITE PIECES are naturally gifted at LIGHT MAGIC. Those are the magics that allow for basic MOVEMENT, CAPTURING, COMPLEX THOUGHT and SUMMONING, what gives chess pieces that special spice that lets them move and act independently of any PLAYERs. Didn't you go to school?
The BLACK ADJUDICATOR is getting impatient and pushy! It asks if there are any more candidates who want to step up to plate before applications close.
The WHITE PAWN E begs the WHITE QUEEN for the means to DISGUISE ITSELF AS A BLACK PAWN, to little avail.
