The twins had just broken the billiard balls when the door burst open and a man wearing a cowl tumbled into the rec room. Instantly, the girls had moved into defensive positions, the cue sticks across their bodies. Once he removed his mask and cowl, however, they realized that they had seen him around the grounds before, their bodies relaxing simultaneously. “Don't worry about it,” Dani said, turning back to the table to take her turn.

“Yeah, you just gave us a bit of a scare,” Lexi added, her usual smile on her face. “Congrats on beating your time though. That's gotta feel pretty good.” Almost as if he was proving her statement, he jumped in the air and clapped his heels together, eliciting a chuckle from both of the twins. He was certainly a pretty goofy guy, an impression that was only reinforced by how he plopped into the recliner. Dani tapped the table to alert Lexi that it was her turn, pointing at one of the striped balls to let her know what she was supposed to hit and keep from interrupting the man, who was telling them his name.

“I'm Dani and that's Lexi,” Dani said simply, Lexi offering a wave from behind her. “Before you ask, yes, we're twins.” With Lexi wearing a ruffled green shirt and Dani wearing a large blue t-shirt, it would be easy for the other members of the Alliance to tell them apart, at least for the day.

“Dani, your turn,” Lexi said, stepping aside so her sister could analyze the board and figure out her move. “I'm going to grab a drink. Do you want one?” Dani nodded a bit absently as she prepared to hit the nine ball into the three to send it into the pocket. Lexi returned after a moment at the fridge with two bottles of Coca-Cola, one Vanilla Coke for her and a Cherry Coke for her sister, to find that her sister was preparing another shot, this one aiming at setting the five ball directly into the hole.

The door to the rec room opened right as Dani took the shot, causing her to hit it just a little too lightly. Sighing, she stepped aside so that Lexi could take her turn, grabbing the Cherry Coke and taking a drink as she did so. The woman who had entered returned after a brief time in the bar area where the drinks and food were stored, introducing herself and asking if she could play the winner. “I don't mind if Lexi doesn't mind,” Dani said, indicating her sister. Lexi shook her head to indicate that she didn't, focusing on the board. “I'm Dani, by the way.”

Another man with dark hair entered the room just after Lexi finished taking her shot, heading for the couch with little more than a glance at anyone else in the room. Once seated, he continued to virtually ignore them, tapping away at his glove. Before too long, but after Lexi and Dani had switched turns again, another woman, this one with dark brown hair, entered the room, heading straight for the guy on the couch and handing him something with the explanation that he had dropped it earlier in the week. Her arrival didn't phase Dani like Jessica's had, however, allowing her to sink the eight ball into the side pocket to win the game.

“Do you wanna break?” she asked Jessica as she and her sister went about grabbing the balls from the pockets and assembling them in the triangle to prepare for the next game.
