FHR: Chess maneuvers (Ao3 Link) Pairing: Sidestep/Wei Chen (featuring @mihqorio's Caleb 💜, Chen POV) Warnings: Chess Word Count: 566 Summary: Chen and Caleb are playing chess and feeling each other out while being on opposite sides of the law.
In this low stakes game, you see the higher stakes racking up. The hard cant of his lips as he frowns, his brilliant green eyes glued to the board, to your fingers plucking up your bishop and forcing his rook from its square. You take the piece, intricately carved marble weight registering where cold stone and sharp corners can't against your prosthetic hand. But your memories can make it real, even if your synthskin can't.
"Fuck," he bites off quietly as you set his rook amidst your growing collection of his forces.
Your lips curve in a smile that's more than a little smug. "Your move, Basri."
There's indignation in his eyes, in the sharp huff of a breath, at his own lack of forethought on his last move. Stupid. Sloppy. He can't afford a mistake like that when it matters. You know the feeling all too well. His long delicate fingers slide up his face as he cups his own bearded chin, brows narrowing in consternation.
Your eyes return to the board before your mind can wander into the distraction of memories of the previous night, of those nimble fingers and their skillful manipulations. The pieces are scattered in a puzzle of what-if's and what-could-be's. If you count the pieces, the game is still in your favor. But you both know that means nothing in the grand scheme of things. The lone agent Mercenary has achieved far more than anyone anticipated against a full board stacked against him, sliding through defenses from unexpected angles to strike hard and fast.
His eyes dart from piece to piece, calculating angles of attack and potential retributions like the one you just gave. He's grown more cautious over the years. More deliberate in his play. Less willing to sacrifice his resources in a high stakes gambit. Sidestep was bluff and blunder, a diamond rough and unshaped. Mercenary is honed, matured, sharpened by need and experience you can't fathom. It's still him though, deep down, you felt it at Carter's mansion. You were certain in Vincent's recounting of events at the hotel he was guarding. Does Caleb know just how much he's changed since Heartbreak? Does he know just how much he hasn't?
He finally settles into on a move, his hand sliding down from beard to board to pluck up his knight. His lips quirk up on one side, and you scour the board to find what he sees. There, by your king, an opening you hadn't realized you were creating in taking his rook.
"Check," he says, sitting back from his focused hunch with smug satisfaction.
"Shit," you mutter, examining the rest of the board. Your king is hemmed in by his queen poised to strike. Only your own queen is able to take the knight, but it will be at the cost of her as well. The end game is approaching far more rapidly than you anticipated. "Well played," you admit as you try to puzzle out his new plan, and craft one of your own.
His smirk grows wider and his posture relaxes, all confidence that he has this one in the bag as he watches your next move.
Does he see the little pawn you have lying in wait amongst all these heavy hitters? As you pick up your queen to set off the chain reaction, you know there's only one way to find out.
#kitbug writes things#fhr#steelstep#wei chen#sidestep#caleb basri#mihqorio#just a chess came... or is it#maybe the real chess game is trying to figure out who's really your enemy#anyway lol happy bday mih mwah you're lovely and i hope you had a great day

Attack on @mihqorio
Tried to go for a in a tavern kind of feel. Also gave Fiala a huge hood on his cloak because I both wanted to draw that and thought he'd look good in it :D

Ortega in the second suit of the suit video. Or, really any of them. I am sooo mad I can't draw right now because both Ricardo and Julia would look so good with that.
YESS!! It gave a bunch of good references and handy tips. I don't have an excuse to draw Ortega in plain white dress shirts now lol 🤡🙈

🎵🐰🦉?
🎵 Last song you listened to?
My playlist just ended and it's shuffling randomly, and I've got American Blood by Dead Poet Society going
🐰 What do you think says the most about a person?
Hm. This is hard, because there are so many different things that are important. I think the way they treat service industry workers, be it retail or food or what have you. There are people that will treat animals so carefully and lovingly but turn around an scold a cashier for a perceived slight, and, like... I don't know, maybe it's the service worker in me bitter at the way people see us as beneath basic respect. I hate being in public with my sister because she acts nice, but she can turn on a waiter or cashier so quickly.
🦉 Are you a morning person or a night owl?
Absolutely a night owl. I have no problem staying awake until or past 5am, but god help me if I have to wake up at 5am, no matter how much sleep I've had.
#ask game#unemployed me was sleeping at like 4am until 1 or 2 in the afternoon#would have been even later if I wasn't stuck with my parents and had my dad being an ass anytime I woke up later than 9am#thank you for sending these mih <3<3#mihqorio

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

Creator vs Creation
@plushchimera tagged me, thank you! 💜
-> pixiv <-
That was fun, it's been a while since I play with picrew. Over half of my characters has now black eyes, I have no idea why, but I kinda think it's neat ^^ tagging @mihqorio @griever-receiver and @snarkspawn if you want of course, no pressure 💜
#picrew#tagging game#I didn't really have any character in mind#but almost all of my recent characters have pitch black eyes and almost white hair#no matter if it's a guy or a woman#soooo yeah#a random oc :D

Character questions: 11, 17, and 42 for Riley and Nox?
11. If someone was impersonating them, what would friends / family ask or do to tell the difference?
Riley has no faith anyone would be able to tell she is not her, so... no idea there, but!!! I will tell you... I have a fic in my head about an imposter scenario for Sidestep days...
For Nox... Hmmmmm... Unless one of Orin's Bhaalist doppelgangers, it would probably be fairly obvious if the imposter shied from violence/gore/killing. Otherwise I think Orin's dopples would go Too Far in the Bhaalist leanings. Nox has some decorum.
17. What do they notice first in the mirror versus what most people first notice looking at them?
Riley would prefer not to look in a mirror at all, ty. But the first thing people allowed to perceive her notice on her is her bright silvery eyes.
The first thing Nox sees when she looks in a mirror is her own eyes, she's patently aware of how different they look compared to most everyone in Faerun. Even tieflings have some color in their black eyes, not so for her. The first thing most people notice about her is how large her presence is, physically and personality. She didn't just become the head of the cult by being good at murder.
42. If invited to a TED Talk, what topic would they present on? What would the title of their presentation be?
Riley: Direct Action: Removing obstacles to achieve your political agenda
Nox: Getting To The Heart: a hands-on presentation for efficient vivisection
