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.]]

Albedo, sometimes boring can be relaxing. I put up with a lot of high energy people. [AKA Rubedo, and now you.]

[fractured_white]

Perhaps from your perspective. I simply find it not worth my time.

[namedforcat]

Fine then, you can just watch me play. [And he will. Deliberately hitting Albedo with the balls and being as annoying as he can.]

[fractured_white]

*Well that's getting aggravating...oops, did that ball that just hit him bounce clear off the table? His bad.*

[namedforcat]

[Uh huh, riiiiight. Gaignun of course is quick to go retrieve it, not wanting to loose any of his set.]

I don't mind if your here but would you please get off the table. Besides, it's not built to support weight like that [lies], and I doubt your dignity would be the only thing that gets bruised if you break it.

Most mature.

[fractured_white]

*And the cueball is mysteriously gone when Gaignun gets back. Wonder how that happened.*

Unfortunately for you, I'm rather comfortable here.

URTV's never grow up.

[namedforcat]

[... ... ...! GDIT Albedo, give him back the cue ball! Oh that is it. Never try to out troll a younger sibling. They have special trolling powers unknown to older brothers.]

Oh really. Well, I suppose if you're just going to lay there and sleep I will just have to find something else to do. [He fishes out Albedo's spare key from his pocket]

I'm sure that you have some books I haven't read yet. [bb!Bro is going through your stuff!]

It's just most obvious with the one that literlaly never grows up.

[fractured_white]

*-! Oh no you aren't. He lunges for that key and oh look, there's something round under his cape.*

I didn't let you take that so you could go rooting through my stuff without permission, Nigredo.

Yup

[namedforcat]

[He smirks and hops backwards, out of the way. Oh my, is that his cue ball? Fancy that.]

Pray tell Albedo, I thought we were sharing things now, since you seem to have taken such a liking to my pool table.

[fractured_white]

I'm certain this thing was hardly as difficult to procure as my collection.

*If you leave the room with that key, he will chase you.*

[namedforcat]

You make it sound as if I'd steal one of your books and you'd never see it again. Perish the thought.

[He's not that stupid. He'd hold it for ransom!]

[fractured_white]

As if I'd trust you with that sort of leverage over me, Nigredo.

[namedforcat]

[He knows you see him slowly drifting towards the elevator. To be honest he's just trying to lure you off the table, but we'll see how this goes. It's like baiting a cat with a string.]

So you say, so you say.

[fractured_white]

*Clunk! Roll roll roll. Oops, did he knock another ball off in the direction opposite the elevator?*

Don't forget I know where you keep your things as well, little brother.

[namedforcat]

I don't have as much as you do right now. Why don't you be a dear and share. [Twitch. You had better not loose that one Albedo.]

[fractured_white]

*He's keeping an eye on it. And clunk! There goes another one.*

It's hardly my fault I took better advantage of the offer than you.

[namedforcat]

[Nope, he's standing his ground. He'll probably break if a third one goes though]

You'll have to forgive me if I don't trust some of the things that come from this place. Besides, how was I supposed to know you preferred a hard wooden plank for your bed.

[needsteaplz]

Yeah I'm rather glad I asked for something small. Still it's great we could get something back from home.

Now that I see this, it reminds me when I studied abroad in my world's America. My host dad tried to teach me how to play but that was also the night I learned whiskey and I don't get along.

[sawthelight]

Sure, I'd love to! [she's so eager] How does it work?

[crouching_sin]

[It really is.]

Hopefully you've adjusted reasonably well to it.

[truthsnomiracle]

I'm well aware of the dangers of a false step; to simply propose something of this nature publicly without ample preparation would be to pull back the curtain to reveal an empty stage. The last thing I wish to do is to create chaos in the process of proposing a path to order. However, for lack of a more expedient approach, the only action I've been taking is to persuade people on an individual level. More than one person has noted the obvious pitfall to my approach, though none so far have objected to the basic theory.

I agree that our lack of leadership is problematic. Worse still, there are those among the kidnappees who I fear might attempt to take the role of leader by force if the need for leadership were made too obvious -- Gilgamesh, for example. Subtlety is vital to avoiding all-out war in the process of introducing structure.

[While he's firm, Edgeworth doesn't seem to disapprove of the continued argument.]

[namedforcat]

[Aww Rapunzel, so cute. Anyways, he'll explain to her how to play.]

After you get the basics down, practice is what you'll have to do to improve.

[namedforcat]

[It will have to happen more, because that Icon is adorable.]

For the most part I have. Still, there are plenty of things I miss terribly, just for the fact that they're more convenient.

[namedforcat]

[He has to chuckle a bit at that description.] I don't envy you the morning after if you're not exaggerating how the introduction went.

[crouching_sin]

[There are more adorable icons.]

Tch. Agreed. Unfortunately I doubt that whomever is running this place is willing to provide me with my old server, which would make things much more interesting.
