Unit 6 - Where in the Hotel gains access to a pool table. No need for a bar.

[namedforcat]

[Early one evening, if one happens to walk through the hotel lobby, they may notice something that hadn't been there when they had left through those doors.

A pool table.

Thanks to that odd offer of the powers that be to give them back something from home, Gaignun (somewhat jokingly) asked for the pool table from his office, and got it much to his surprise. It's a well loved pool table, well made with a few nicks and scratches in the wood work that speaks to the fact that it actually got used.

So there it sits, in the side of the hotel lobby, fully decked out with a sign posted saying "Free to play, just take good care of it."

It's owner, a face familiar to mosmt is right now just happily noodling around on it, making random shots. Feel free to join him, he's always up for a game.]


[[ooc: So the hotel now has a pool table, which is free for anyone to use. It's now a fixture there until he finds somewhere else to put it so feel free to appropriate it for other threads and what not.]]

It's, ah, not that kind of crossbow. It's designed to fire bolts of Ether energy.

*There, everything set up properly.*

I'd suggest asking for something you can't get here. I managed to get my Connection Gear back.

[namedforcat]

[He won't comment on the smoke, but inwardly he's making a face.] A couple of months I'm afraid. This place doesn't get any better the more you stay here, that's for sure.

[namedforcat]

...Mmm, maybe a bottle of Miltian brandy or something. Something expensive and that I know Helmer will miss if it comes from his stock.

[tolettheworldbe]

[Hey, don't knock it till you try it.

...On second thought, knock it.]

That's what we're here for. A small step closer to figuring out just what the hell is going on around here is better than not making any progress.

[namedforcat]

That's very true. Every step forward we take is a step home. I have to admit, charming as this place is, I will be more then happy to see the backside of it.

These two will make great friends. They're equally sarcastic!

[tolettheworldbe]

Why would you ever want to leave a vacation spot as good as this?

[Snake chuckles after that, taking a drag from his cigarette and blowing it out away from Gaignun.]

Sarcasim, it's a universal language XD

[namedforcat]

Call me a bit of a homebody. Besides, people have things to do back in their respective universes.

Re: Sarcasim, it's a universal language XD

[tolettheworldbe]

Yeah. . .

[namedforcat]

[He leans over the table, eying up shots in his head.] You sound like you're one of them.

[tolettheworldbe]

Otacon isn't exactly the best person for solo ops.

[namedforcat]

Ah...yes, if that is the case then I can see your concern. It will be alright, I'm sure we'll have this figured out soon barring any horrendous hiccups.

[All said hiccups, he knows they're coming.]

[tolettheworldbe]

When have operations ever been easy?

[namedforcat]

When they haven't been planed by someone in brass. [He's...been around enough soldiers to follow Snake's wording. Yeah. That's it.]

[technologic]

[April will just watch him for a while with a slight tilt of her head.] ... What's that?

[crouching_sin]

[And Naoya will be leaning against the table, watching him and mentally calculating the angles just out of boredom.]

[tolettheworldbe]

Good to know someone else has experience around here. Military?

[monohoshizao]

Ah, greetings to you, Sir Gaignun. [Staaaaaaaare.] If only I am capable of saying such thing. [SO STONER.]

[namedforcat]

[Blank stare? Really? That's all you have Assassin? Oh well.] Did you want to play? [He will offer to teach should Assassin say he doesn't know.]

[namedforcat]

Close enough, but mainly I have worked with many soldiers over the years, seen what they go through.

What about you?

[Yeah, not admitting that he was born and bred for a private army. However, he has worked with regular army guys so he's not lying either.]

[namedforcat]

This? It's a game called 'pool'. Did you want to learn how to play? It's really rather fun once you get into it.

[namedforcat]

If you're going to lean there, you may as well have a purpose to it. [Gaignun is just going to hand him a cue]

[crouching_sin]

[He chuckles and rubs the cue chalk on the end.]

Hm. It's a good distraction from programming, in any case.

[And once Gaignun's taken his next shot, Naoya will just line up his own shot and sink one of the balls with ease.]

[namedforcat]

[Good, that will make things nicer if he doesn't have to tone down his own level.]

Well, it's always good to have a break from staring at a computer screen once in a while. [This at least he understands. Paper work in his century is all computerized and boy does he have a lot of it to do.]

It was rather nice of the hotel staff to let me store this here for a while.

[crouching_sin]

It is. I assume this was your 'gift' from home, then? Mine was my computer.

[Mmm streamlined processing power and custom upgrades.]

[technologic]

Um, sure, okay. [So she'll just be walking over to him, still looking at the pool table curiously.]
