Joan and Esther are playing a game of checkers with each other on their respective computers over a video feed. Indecisive Joan takes her time making her next move. After Joan finally makes her move, Esther, tired of waiting, decides instead to use her turn to do something else involving projecting an image to Joan over the web camera. Esther is hoping that their sedate game of checkers will morph into a more lively game of another variety.
