Orvos had stood up and moved to keep pace with her, his drink in hand. He placed it down on a table near the game area. He moved to a rack of pool cues, selecting a very specific one. It had rubber-like grip on the end with swirling blue tendrils that ascended the shaft. He moved to grab some chalk and took care of the tip. He then took notice of the others as they arrived and selected their own cues. He was after all, a listener. He observe as much as possible.

With an economy of movement, Stark followed. He surveyed the wooden cues and made a mental note not to leave scratches in them. He wasn’t often around wooden things on the starship but once when he’d carved his initials into a wooden desk S’Raal had installed he’d discovered that people frowned on such things. Then as he looked at the whole table, also wood, he decided that resisting the impulse had just got a great deal more difficult.

OOC: I’m laughing so hard right now. lol!

Jessica came up next to Nightstalker to survey the offerings, noting that he seemed to be particularly interested in the devices as well as the table nearby. She bumped her hip against his slightly with a smirk as she reached to select a cue at random and then sashayed over to the table. “Does someone want to explain this?” she queried with an innocent grin as she mimicked the motions of the CE with her own cue.

Stark watched her closely, if he didn’t know any better and perhaps he didn’t, they were about to get hustled.

Jessica merely smiled innocently at Nightstalker as she felt his gaze on her.

Dr. Lemann

Orvos was not unaware of the interplay between the doctor and Stark. He could see Stark’s reaction and perhaps Stark was thinking right along the same lines as Orvos. Unfortunately, in such scenarios, Orvos was often times the one to fall right into the trap. Was he weak willed? Or did he believe too much in to what people shared? Anyone’s guess, but he would treat her as a newcomer to the game regardless, unless she proved otherwise.

The Vulcan had followed the others, oscillating between talkative and shy. He now was listening to the banter as he chose his own Cue. Noting the shape of the cue stick, he laid one on the table and rolled it gently to see if it was in ‘true’, then picked it up and tested the weight of the heavy end. “This should suffice.” He said half to himself, eyebrows raising gently. He looked up to see Jessica bump into Stark, and was somewhat puzzled by the interaction. However, he said nothing and mentally went over anything he’d heard in the past about the game. Quiet or no.. he was having a good time.

-Va’rek

Stark raised an eyebrow but then smiled slightly, it seemed there were players and then there were “players” in this game. He was still having difficulty keeping his claws in and made a mental note to give himself some time in the Arboretum. He had a standing deal with T’Pon to trim and tame some of the trees if and when the need to shred came upon him.

Orvos noted Va’rek’s test of the cue. For having never played, the man sure seemed to start having a solid grasp on it. Few newcomers, if any, ever thought of testing the cue the way he had. Was Orvos in over his head? Perhaps, but he didn’t care. The opportunity to know them and listen was well worth the loss of a little pride.

“We can play in pairs if you like. The goal is to sink balls into pockets. Teams go back and forth making shots. The black 8 ball is the final shot so if you sink it before sinking your other balls, your team loses. Each team will end up selecting whether to sink solid balls or striped balls.”

He then set one ball out and the cue ball opposite it. “For those who have never seen a shot and would like a practice shot, since we seem to have some newbies here, just watch.”

Orvos leaned forward, his left hand resting on the table as pointer finger nestled the end of the cue onto the crook of his thumb. He kept his right hand at the opposite end, using it for thrust. After 3 tests, he pushed the cue forward sending the white ball careening into the black 8 ball he placed at the end. He then stood back up right and looked to the others curiously. “Any of you care to make a test shot for free?”
