Denver glares evily at the two as if to say 'stop staring at me' and returns his gaze back to the pool table.

Fire looks at Denver strangely as he glares, but when Denver looks back down, Fire turns his attention back to the task on hand.

Denver sighs and sets up a similar shot on the oppisite side of the table. "Go ahead and try... if you nail this, that's the basics of pool really."

"Okay," Fire says softly, and he carefully aims.
He shoots it, and it just barely goes in.
"It's a start," Fire says, "I guess. Thanks a lot.... I guess this could come in handy even if I don't know any fancy stuff. I'm going to go take a break, I think."
Fire stalks off into a corner.

"No problem," Denver grunted shooting the remaining balls into various pockets. "What's your name anyways?"

"CoolFire," Fire shrugs. "Fire for short. Yours?"

"It's no problem," Denver nodded absentmindedly. "I've never seen ya around the city 'for. You new here?"

"Euh...unfortunately, no. I've lived here all my life as a wanderer...." Fire sighs. "Not all who wander are lost," he adds. "I've always wanted to get away from here, but I don't know what's out there. I want to make some money so I'll be somewhat prepared when I do leave this forsaken place. That way, I might be able to find some stand or something with food. Heaven knows what I'll find...."
Then, embarassed that he had revealed such a part of himself, he falls silent.

"I know the feeling. 'Member when I first got to this lousy joint. Learned to get used to the back life. Couldn't find a decent job and I defintly didn't wanna flip burgers for a living. Resolved to make cash the old fashioned way. Gambling. Live in New York for a time, Bronx to be exact. I had gotten used to street life and stealing. I'm part vermin. I don't deny it. But I'm darn proud."

Fire sighs. "Yeah...but I don't steal; more like I scrounge. Trash cans, the whole bit." Then, more resolutely, he whispers, "I'm going to break free someday." He leans back against the wall. "Seems like for now, gamblings the only way. I don't care if it's wrong or not. I've got to live somehow, and someday, it's going to be better and I won't have to...I hope."

Aeri looks away, asking for another bottle. Deryck sighs again, then spins around in his seat. "Whee..." he mutters, rolling his eyes and looking over at Aeri. "I'm bored... I'm gonna leave..."
"Fine with me then," Aeri answers, sipping some beer. "Just don't get yourself lost of anything."
"I'll be sure I won't."

"They said that to me back home. My folks I mean," Denver sighed leaning against a wall. "I think I remember a singer writing something like 'They can't tell me who to be 'cause i'm not what they see, yeah the world is still sleeping while I keep on dreaming for me. And their words are just whispers and lies that I'll never believe'. Can't recall the artist. All I know is that he's darn right."
