"Good!" He says with a smile of satisfaction.  I'm sure you'll enjoy the game!<br/><br/>As he says this, another non-descript young woman comes up to Ibly, but he turns to her with a smile. "Ah, my dear June.  You have come in time.  You are my wager tonight.  Please show my guest's companion to the dressing room, and get both of you into the chess dresses."<br/><br/>The young woman looks intently at you and Kasumi a long moment, then nods without speaking.  She guestures then for Kasumi to follow her.<br/><br/>Kasumi gives you a short glance, then follows her into a side room.<br/><br/>Count Ibly is sitting back, enjoying his drink, and apparently te song the band has begun.  He nods his head along to it, his eyes closed.<br/><br/>Before the song ends, Kasumi has returned... twice.  Two women emerge from the room, dressed in a slightly archaic but pretty dresses, bustier's, gloves stockings, low shoes, and even bonnets, matching in style, if opposite in color scheme.  One has a black dress and skirt, with white accessories, the other reverses this.  The one with the white dress stands next to Ibly, the one in black comes over to you, squeezes your arm, and says in a breath in your ear, "I haven't spoken yet, so you'll know it's me from my voice until she can hear it.  After that, I'll talk about a Breland Howler monkey, if there is any doubt between us. I doubt they'll try to switch us, but I don't want you to worry about it."<br/><br/>Ibly has opened his eyes, and he quickly sets up the board.  Taking the last two pawn, he hides them in his hands.  He holds both his hands out, and says simply.  "Left or right?"
