🐚snailmail: TRIUMPH happened

𖣘fan_death: SECRETLY there is a seventh dan go player in legal. apparently. I'm not bitter.

🌙moon'n'joon: we agreed no handicaps for the tournament :) :)

yoo-min-max: what's a dan

KangJaeha: A rank in go

🇺🇳 glob: yeah 1 dan is like a black belt and it goes up from there.

🐚snailmail: we ANNIHILATED themmmmm

𖣘fan_death: okay you personally don't deserve the credit for it, I creamed you

yoo-min-max: oooooh
yoo-min-max: also hi @KangJaeha! welcome to chat!
yoo-min-max: these degenerates won't be able to thirst over you anymore now that you're here

taegun fan no. 1183: no one was thirsting over him with @traceless here

yoo-min-max: shhhh you didn't have to say that
yoo-min-max: it would've been funny to pretend

KangJaeha: You already knew I read chat

yoo-min-max: oh right

🇺🇳 glob: I remember being impressed at how professionally unthirsty the interview on traceless's blog was

𖣘fan_death: oh hey do you legal department dishonorable cheaters happen to know why the bell. I want a prize

🌙moon'n'joon: a) no b) if we did why would we tell you b2) especially if you're calling us dishonorable cheaters because you didn't check anybody's ELO in advance c) he probably doesn't even have a prize in mind, like what would that even be

...

"Uh. Not that it matters but why the bell?" he asks, failing to mask his intense curiosity.

"Oh, it's a pun on my first name."

"...Masaharu?"

"That's my middle name. I hate my first name and have no idea what Ren was thinking, but I don't hate it enough to resist the temptation to tweak people's noses about it."

"Oh. ...may I ask what it is...?" Wow he hates the fact that he didn't know this a lot more than he'd have expected.

"It's Bellamy."

"I will literally never call you by it but I am inordinately happy that I know things about you that most other people don't."

KangJaeha: I know why the bell

🐠nemo: you don't count

🔔traceless: might get a prize anyway though.

🍉melonmelon: get a roooooooom

KangJaeha: We in fact are in a room!

🔔traceless: we're even alone in the room :3

Jaeha is going to die of how adorable this man is.

🚫do-not-jin: ........I really feel like there's some kind of moderator warning I should give the two of you here but my handbook of allowable moderator warnings does not cover this kind of stuff at all

taegun fan no. 1183: lolololol
taegun fan no. 1183: perish

🔔traceless: I am too clever for your handbook

No he's already done a lot of backscroll reading and if there's anything Haru wants to do with him he wants to do that more than being in chat.

After all, guiding dick is widely reputed to be bomb.

And they're on the home stretch of a sprint, too.

They are.
