[ Welcome to memoir billiards at the murder game universe casino! Do not ask how it works, as it's a place in between realms and worlds. Do not ask how it works, either. We are not going to be technical, but it's by point system graded by the board that calculates each technical move. I will also not write you a bunch to save you from needing to read a lot.

Losing some points will force them to share a fact or a story. Losing a lot of points will force a memshare. What they win would be a small miracle that they can give to someone else, not themselves. It's a unique and rare event, likely not to be hosted again for some years.

Jacopo is modern and holds the cue stick with confidence and care. A lopsided smile plasters along his face, laid-back yet carrying swagger.

Heard around here that you're quite the gambler. [ He offers a hand for a handshake. ] Jacopo Bearzatti.

[ i will not ask how it works. it has simply come to be.

And it's not as though Aventurine hasn't found himself in odd predicaments before. This one suits him just fine, an air of casual professionalism to him as he regards the board for just a moment before turning his attention to his opponent. He observes the lopsided smile, the confident line of the man's shoulders, and he breaks out into an easy, charming grin of his own as he extends his hand to accept the handshake. ]


Just a humble merchant passing through. [ And maybe it was the gamble that had called him here. ] A pleasure, Mr. Bearzatti. Call me Aventurine.

[ Their handshake lasts the appropriate amount of time before he lets go. ]

[ why did you indicate their handshake lasts an appropriate amount? is there a slutty amount? like a second longer? i guess jacopo would know if that's kind of forward

But Aventurine gives him a solid shake that would satisfy any man of stature, not that he is one. He preps his cue stick as the board assembles itself. The billiard balls roll and shape themselves into a triangle without the need of a rack. Technology..... Which Jacopo finds wondrous and tries to mask it, but there might be a glimmer in his eyes.

You have good taste in scents, Aventurine. [ Guess who noticed your cologne? ] The vetiver base tone rounds everything else out. Somehow it's luxurious yet approachable.
