(Oh my god did Varian send him some chess memes............. OKAY, this is actually really cute, but also Peter has no idea what he's looking at right now.
He brings out his reading glasses for this one.
.....And then goes to ask Luna because yeah, he has no fucking idea what any of this means, he is so lost, holy shit.)
So I asked Luna about this and she thought it was really funny, so it must mean that this makes sense to smart people??
So basically congrats dude, you have successfully memed!
( YOU DID IT, VARIAN... even if it's about chess. )
[Holy shit, it's SERIOUS business when the reading glasses come out! You know what, even if he has to ask Luna, Varian will take it. Things between the pair still aren't great, but he'll accept her opinion on a carefully found meme! ]
Maybe if you learned chess better you'd get it. You don't have to be THAT smart for it. But good, glad someone found it funny.
[MAYBE YOU JUST NEED TO CHESS BETTER, GRAHAM!!]
Great! There's a first time for everything, I'll have to show it to some other people, but you're the most far ahead future person I know so I trust your opinion on this.
( Peter agrees easily. HOWEVER, NOTICE HE DOESN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT ACTUALLY PLANNING TO LEARN CHESS BETTER....... )
Yeah she really loved it! She keeps looking at it again and laughing about it
( It's really cute.... Honestly, Varian and Luna are very similar in their "learning about modern teenage culture" experience, and it's forever "sending Peter", as the kids say. )
I am? Oh man, this is a really powerful responsibility.... I'll support your new life as a Meme King by sending you a funny chess joke I just found that I actually get!
I totally get this one It's because the horse knight boys move really weird
Oh man I know you're hella busy so I wouldn't ask you to spend your time helping me learn more
( Weaseling out of work... Peter's favourite hobby.... )
But yeah, she totally loved it. I haven't actually seen her laugh like that in a long time so you made my day too, dude
They DO, right? Why do they have to move like that, it's so confusing I think I've come to the conclusion that my favourite piece is the king Because he doesn't really do much Just kind of stands there until someone shoves him over
Don't be silly, Peter. I've always got time for my friends.
[He knows what you're doiiiiiing :)]
I have to admit, I wasn't expecting that. Happy to be of service.
I'm not actually sure why they move that way. Maybe because it's a horse moving two and then the knight attacking with their lance? Maybe. Are you saying you have a close emotional bond with the king? What is it you say? Vibrating?
( Similar to how Peter behaved when he was actually playing chess with Varian, he is 100% not a fighter here, either. He crumbles so easily in the face of such matters........
.....it seems that he's going to be learning more about chess. )
Looking forward to it....
( He does, at least, use a crying emoji to convey his woe. ...Though it really is cute that Varian vibes with a chess piece at all, especially considering it's no doubt taken much more seriously on his end than it is on Peter's. )
Oh god those things scare me the most I think They just rush at you No stop No mercy
( ....He remembered what rooks do??? That might be thanks to Paimon, admittedly. )
Oh wait I think I understand some of those memes now Since the rook like slams at you Ohhhhh

Really?
[He's genuinely surprised he's indirectly amused Luna so much. That's sure...some kind of feeling. He's not sure what, yet. ]
It's a SUPER important responsibility! It's good you're taking this very seriously!
[Okay but that is funny, both the meme and Peter's words.]
Horse knight boys, Peter, please. But that's genuinely a funny one, I liked that! You're correct they DO move really weird.

[Vibing. He means vibing. ]
no subject
( PETER... IS GIVING IN.... even if it's still very reluctantly. He's too easy to grind down.
...But give him a minute. What's... what's Varian asking, here? Vibrating?
A close emotional bond.... wait. )
Vibing?
Yeah! I'm vibing with him for sure
Which one do you uhhhh vibe with?
( To be asking this in regards to chess pieces....... but he is here to support Varian's Modern Teen journey. )
no subject
[FOOL! He knows he's winning now. ]
...
Yes? That sounds probably more like the word! And I guess I vibe with the rook more than anything. Straightforward and to the point.
[You are a good friend to him, Peter!]

[Just a little light-hearted ribbing, it's fine.
And then a miracle happens!!! PETER GETS IT!! ]
YES! That's exactly it. Because the rook slams at you. Well done.
[Genuinely, he's so proud of you!!!]
