The private billiards room is a sanctuary of mahogany and dim, amber light, smelling faintly of expensive cigars and old leather. The rhythmic *clack* of balls echoes against the walls as three figures navigate the green felt with a predatory sort of grace.

Julian's voice breaks the silence, resonant and commanding. "Hey, you. Stop hiding back there and get over here. Don't just sit there like a fool."
