I've gathered that much from watching Aliza play. Do the numbers on the balls matter?

[leaveofabsence]

Yes, the balls are split up among the competitors. In the event that the balls cannot be equally divided among the players, the last ball you must hit is the 8 ball. If you hit it in before then, you lose the game.

[happydreamed]

Don't hit the 8 ball or don't hit your opponent's balls. Understood.

[leaveofabsence]

Would you like to give it a try? Or see another example first?

[happydreamed]

I would love to see you show off your skills.

[leaveofabsence]

And I would be happy to show them to you.

[ He waits until both Caeli and Alizarin have taken their next turn before stepping up to the table.

He is slow and methodical about it (unsurprisingly) but he manages to line up a shot and sink one ball solidly into a corner pocket.

He holds the pool cue out for Doctor to take. ]

Now. Your turn.

[Carefully lines the cue up with a ball... takes a shot...

It spins a little and bounces off the side like a centimeter from the hole.]

Hm. That's unfortunate.

[ A soft chuckle ]

Probably for the best.

Caeli and Alizarin might be challenging you all night if you turned out to be a natural at the game.

[happydreamed]

I would be very surprised if I did. I'm not experienced with similar games.

[leaveofabsence]

I was likewise not familiar until Hurricane taught me about our own dorm arcade and Caeli frequently took me to the larger establishment out in the city.

If you would like, we could try to learn more about these games together.

I would be delighted to spend more time with you for any reason.
