headmaster was sitting in his "office". it wasn't anything more than a spare room with 1 table 2 chairs 2 oil lamps and a almost empty filing cabinet holding his diaries.
the border meeting was comming up in just a few days, and in that regard he was a fairly new leader.
Hoboken didn't get involved with the other boroughs for the most part, so he didn't have a clue as to how it would go. his predecessor was much better in this kind of stuf.
Marquis was ruthless as far as the borders had been concerned, but he worked somewhere in the Bronx now. no, it was all up to him now, he sighed, got up, and walked toward the common area.

Ace had just finished a late shift at the Clam Broth House and was entering the lodge. He raised an eyebrow when he spotted his leader. It wasn't too surprising to see Headmaster up late, though it was not common for him to stay at the lodge almost all day after selling. Ace had seen him before he left for work and would have thought the leader would have joined the other boys to enjoy the evening and keep an eye on the younger boys.
"Still up?" he asked curiously.

"Still up?" he looked up.
"evening Ace." he said tiredly. "yeah, i have alot on my mind, leader related stuff."
he yawned, while looking at two younger boys, playing a game of some sort.

"Evening, Ace. Yeah, I have a lot on my mind, leader related stuff."
He nodded in understanding. Being the leader of a borough was a big responsibility. "Don't think too much on it." Ace gave Headmaster and encouraging smile. "Rest well and ya can concentrate better in the morning. Don't overwork yourself."

"Don't think too much on it." "Your'e right Ace, its easier said then done though."
"Rest well and ya can concentrate better in the morning. Don't overwork yourself." "I'll go to bed in a couple of hours, you feel like playing a game? Not chess though, something light on the mind."

"You're right, Ace. It's easier said then done though."
He cracked a small smile. He knew that all too well.
"I'll go to bed in a couple of hours, you feel like playing a game? Not chess though, something light on the mind."
Ace shrugged. He was tired, but he didn't mind playing a short game before hitting the sack. "I don't mind. What you feelin' like?"
Mr. and Mrs. Martin had been gracious enough to create game rooms in both lodges. They had all sorts of little games the boys and girls could play on rainy days. Mr. Martin had somehow managed to get a billiards table. Ace often played pool there when he wasn't busy.

"I don't mind. What you feelin' like?"
"we could play some pool," Headmaster started. "al i know is that the black ball goes last though. and it might be a bit loud, at this time of day."
he looked through the pile of board games "we could play GO if you'd like." he didn't know anything about the game, but as "Goats" (one of the youngest boys) had told him, he should explore new things.

"We could play some pool. All I know is that the black ball goes last though, and it might be a bit loud, at this time of day."
Ace nodded. The balls clacking together could get rather loud at times.
"We could play GO if you'd like."
"Sounds fine with me," he agreed. "Just one quick round though. Don't want to stay up too late."
Mr. Martin preferred the boys in bed early before Mrs. Martin arrived. She trusted her girls enough to stay with her husband for the night.

"Sounds fine with me," he nodded, as he looked at the instructions. this was not going to be a quick game. the hand written note he found was much easier to read, albeit short and very basic. "Just one quick round though. Don't want to stay up too late." "then lets begin," he said setting up the board. "we'll see how it goes."

"Then let's begin. We'll see how it goes."
Ace nodded as he helped Headmaster set up the board. He hadn't actually this game, but he had seen some of the other boys play. The game did seem like it did take some time though... but who knew? They might be able to make the game a short one.
