*The LovelyAngel nurses a ky070 k0l4 as she watches BB&G fill for an evening. ky070 k0l4s have a lot of caffeine, so one is usually her limit for a night. *
*kyhm takes a seat next to the LovelyAngel and begins a nice conversation.*
kyhm: So, how'd you find this place?
Ah, kyhm... one of the advantages of being one of the (chronological) elders *winks* is that I have an extensive network of contacts and informants. There is very little which goes on that I do not hear about quickly and accurately.
*The LovelyAngel waves back at a couple of patrons who have entered the lounge.*
It doesn't hurt to have some good technology on one's side, either.
*The LovelyAngel nods her head in the direction of the large-screen TV, where portions of the mecha fight in Pullman are being replayed. She winces at one of the brutal attacks being shown.*
Couldn't quite see the value of messing up my own mecha, a Sizzler Black, so I didn't participate. *pauses. takes a sip of k0l4.* But it's fun to see Pullman take a bit of damage -- couldn't happen to a more deserving place. *grins*
*Van has made short work of a 9-ball rack and is trying to interest Chris in a game. Chris seems disinterested -- or at least very wary of the pool shark dressed in black. The LovelyAngel leans over to kyhm.* Please excuse me.
*The LovelyAngel walks up to the two and hears Van finishing a proposal.*
Van: ...awww... c'mon, Chris... only 20 bucks a ball... I'll even let you break!
*Van grins -- or is that just the shark baring her teeth?*
I'll take some of that action, Van, dear!
*The LovelyAngel goes over to the rack of pool cues on the wall. The "Van Special" is gone, of course. There are a few remaining cues which are in reasonable shape. And as might be expected in BB&G, there are a couple of cues with the tips broken off -- and a couple more which are badly warped.*
*The LovelyAngel prefers a fairly heavy cue, and as a high-maintenance gal, she nearly always gets what she wants. After inspecting what is available, the LovelyAngel shrugs -- then in one smooth motion materializes a pool cue from hammerspace. The cue is rosewood and maple with polished inlays of black coral and duritanium polyalloy. At the base of the cue is an inlay of the initials "AKS".*
*Van arches one eyebrow.*
Whaaat? I just happen to like to use my own cue once in a while, and I make sure it's stored in a convenient sector of hammerspace.
*Van mutters something under her breath.*
I believe you said
I could break?
*Still muttering something, Van racks the 9 balls into a diamond.*
Van: Go for it!
*The LovelyAngel unleashes a powerful break and manages to pocket the 7-ball. Eying the mess on the table, the LovelyAngel figures the 1-ball to be easy, but the 2-ball will be tough. She takes aim on the 1 and applies considerable reverse english on the cue ball to pocket the 1 and backup the cue ball 3/4 the length of the table. She then does a difficult combination shot, hitting the 2 to pocket the 6-ball. The 2-ball is now positioned for an easy shot into a corner pocket. The LovelyAngel drops the 2 and then shoots at the 3-ball which is at the other end of the table. The 3 snaps into a corner pocket -- but then the cue ball doubles back and drops into a pocket as well. SCRATCH!*
Ooops!
*The shark grin returns to Van's face.*

Hey, KarmaEnforcer, you have to give people
time to respond before vacating the pool table -- or any other activity! Some of us have day jobs!
Thanks, kyhm, for fixing my post count!
Ugh... I had been using the "Ocean" palette and reverted to the "Default" palette and noticed you can't read my dialog in color, so I've stripped the color out. I may have to change the way I write dialog...
