Dueling Emails

James: The research at Guy's pretty much confirmed what we'd determined earlier. The bag was essentially a magical "spent shell casing", a remnant of a spell effect that had gone off already. And the chess piece pretty much makes us all think that the new unlikely chess megastar Chang is involved. So Becca and Ilke both send him emails (for some reason, perhaps some sort of chick rivalry?) to set up a meeting.

Evil Vegan Library Research

James: Holy shit! Guy's collection is mega-huge. TONS of great stuff on really useful arcane alchemical formulas. After finding out a bit more about Brick's Magical Sack (heh), I delve into some of the books. I find the missing pieces to some shit I had been working on, and I am pretty sure I now have solid finalized versions of some damn useful formulae. Some of it is comes from a pretty dark place, so I'm kinda hesitant to use it. We'll see what happens when the shit hits the fan.

Interviewing with Underscore

James: We meet up with the art student who did the lame-ass sculptures, "Underscore". He's not very helpful.

Becca seems to think there is some angle to the hunky librarian dude, "Conan". I think she just likes him. But a potential lead is not something to be ignored. So we stake out a class of his. Nothing much comes from it, really. Me and Guy try to cause an annoying commotion so Ilke can trail him like some sort of spy, and then we see Chang acting all suspicious.

Basement of the Engineering Building

James: Our downtrodden and subservient chess champion of a captive begrudgingly leads us to the hole in the wall Chinese restaurant. Nothing is there but a decent dinner. Jackass. Then he takes us to the Engineering building on campus. We take the elevator down to the lowest level of sub-basement. Kinda creepy. I wonder what the hell this non-human "entity" could possibly be. A witch perhaps? Demon? Alien? Goddamn, I'm actually a little scared at this point.

Chang indicates a door, and we open it up. It's a damn computer. A big one. And it can talk. And apparently, think. Weirdness. So we chat with it. Chang tries to slip away, but is not allowed. The computer is the famous Deep Blue by IBM, and is in love and is attempting to use Chang as a, ahem, pawn, in a scheme to win the affections of its target. I was NOT expecting this.

Commercial

The commercial for this episode was Nutrigrain. I FEEL GREAT!
