The Club's Vow of Silence

It was... blissful. They never once dropped their pieces, you know? It was more graceful than that. Even though chess is a game of war, and thus the knight knocking at the opponent's doorstep, Ne5, was something exciting. When it landed in that momentous moment with the faceless arm it was as a demigod had spoken if you could steal the pieces perspective. The simple and sonorous reverberance was aesthetic. The Thor hammer. The staff of Gandalf. But this was different. This painted an aquarelle of peace in the midst of war. You could think undisturbed. The pieces slid "sshh"..."sshhh"...

😅, I own the Merriam-Webster Dictionary app, and every time I search up a word an index of words pop up on the left (unrelated to the search). That's where I first saw the word 'aquarelle'. It didn't matter what it meant, that word was going in my vocabulary.

Wasn't Aquarella a song by the Jodimars?

It certainly sounds like it could be a song title. The first artist that comes to mind is Sade, for some reason. Jodimars sort of sounds like it would be some fun wacky song... or not.

Acquanetta... I see. And what's that she's got there - a giant ewer? I doubt she can handle that alone. A gentleman would help her.

I still don't get the MWD app. What does it do? I mean it seems strange. Aqua Velva After Shave? Mh. Is it for men? The bottle sort of looks retro.
