2nd Hand

[nightfowl]

Characters: Haken Browning and YOU
Setting: Various floors.
Format: action brackets i usually go for.
Summary: Time to do some exploring. And to shoot some pool.
Warnings: Usual Haken Flirting


FLOOR 88

[Haken was actually rather surprised to see a bar here, of all things. He wasn't too heavy of a drinker, so the lack of alcohol really didn't bother him too much. Though the pool table certainly caught his eye. He's certainly up for a game if you are, though he's got a deck of cards on hand (Thankfully, these don't explode) if your interests are elsewhere. What better place to have a game of poker than a smokey bar?]



FLOOR 61
This tower gets weirder and weirder every day. I'm the one who's supposed to be watching large mounds bounce around, not the other way around...Nice weather though.

[He's still obliged to explore though... until he gets to a pit and almost falls into it. Though, the weather is perfect and he feels like he could use a little nap. So he lays down, and places his hat over his face to block out the sun. Nothing like a siesta now and then. Bother him, trip over him. Some shenanigans will happen, for certain.]


FLOOR 74
[What would a JRPG character be without the obligatory random battle sequence? Looks like Haken's in the middle of a tough fight here, facing several monsters at once. The sounds of his gunfire echoes through the cavern, might not be too hard to find him.]

Can't a guy get some exploring done without being hassled by monsters every two steps? Feels like this is a thing everywhere I go...

Floor 88

[alephbet]

[Aleph's often found in bars, usually to chat up those who are also found there.]

Pool? I've never learned to play, but it looks interesting.

[nightfowl]

It's pretty easy once you get the hang of it, pardner. Just gotta know where to shoot.

[alephbet]

Are you offering lessons?

[nightfowl]

Don't see why not, pardner. Grab a cue.

[alephbet]

[Aleph does so!]

I'm guessing you hit the balls into the holes, for starters.

[nightfowl]

You're right on that.

[Haken sets up the balls in the triangle.]

Hit the cue ball with your best shot. What you sink first will determine what you're goin' for, pardner.

[alephbet]

[Aleph aims the cue at the triangle and takes a shot. They go all sorts of directions, but the first one to sink is the four ball.

He has no idea if that's good or bad, but at least he sunk something.]

[nightfowl]

Well, looks like you're going for the solid balls, kid. Not too bad. Careful, though. Watch for the 8-ball.

looks like I'm going to go for the stripes. I got this.

[And, in a display of daredevil tactics, Haken does the exact opposite of what he just said, and takes a shot towards the 8-ball. However, he's using it to sink the 12-ball behind it into another hole...Yeah, it was a bit of an attempt to show off, but these methods are just how Haken rolls.]

So, how long you been here?

[alephbet]

About six months. What about you?

[Aleph shoots towards another solid ball, but nothing sinks.]

[nightfowl]

A few months here, so I'm still pretty fresh to this whole place...

[and Haken also whiffs a shot. He shrugs.]

[alephbet]

[Aleph sinks another ball on the next shot.]

Probably better not to stay too long.
