Spacious, with a ratty old couch and a few throw rugs. Not the most elegant of places, but the Bronx call it home.

Lukas walked in, hesitant, confused and uneasy about what was going on. He went streight for one of the couches, and plopped down causing a cloud of dust to form around him. His eyes searched the room for Ace and anyone else.

Ace stood off in the back, his eyes downcast and furious. He held up a hand before Lukas could say anything, "When everyone gets here, ill explain."

Cheater sprinted inside and missed the entrance, running into the stairs and backing up. She was still afraid that Spot Conlon would assault her... but she doubted that now, as she plopped down on the couch and put a pill into her mouth, causing the sick feeling in her stomach to pass.
Her eyes scanned the room, and fell on Ace, who looked like he was about to explode. "Ace, does this have anything to do with Spot scaring the crap out of me in the library and telling me to go back here?"

Fancy ran into the Bronx lodging house, nearly colliding with Ace. "Ace... Whats going on?!" she said in a paniced state.....

Ace sighed and ran a hand across his eyes, "We're at war. With Hattan and Queens." He said finally.

The look of calm totally slid off Cheater's face, leaving her with a scared/dumbstruck look. Her eyes were like saucers. "With Manhattan and Queens?" She whispered, her voice going up a few octaves.

Lukas' eyes widened and he scanned the room, not sure how to react to this. He was not personally in trouble as he thought but it sounded like the whole city was. He looked at Cheater but directed his question to Ace. "Why the hell did Spot go aftah her then? He's Brooklyn.." He flipped off his bowler and twirled his greasy hair thinking.

Ace frowned and shook his head, "It was nothing personal, i think Spot just wanted to get everyone out of the firing range for the time bein...He is having it rough, it is over Spike." He looked at them for a moment, "Here's the deal- Its us and Brooklyn against Hattan and Queens. As far as going places- stay in either Brooklyn or here, all right?"

"Fance, forget about you being my role model." Cheater said and leaned her head back. "Can't beleive there's a borough war. That's just... wow..." She eyed Fancy warily as she scooted a little farther down the couch. Drunk people were one of the items on her 'things I hate most' list, friend or not.
Her head turned, and she looked out the window, biting her lip and thinking... and trying to block out Fancy's hysterical laughter. Finally, unable to do it, she turned around and said, loudly mind you, "Fancy shut up for a sec!"

Peem walked in and sat down, quiet. "Wow. First day as a newsie, already I'm going to be in a brawl." He smirked. "My kinda place..."

Fancy closed her mouth a dorky smile still on her face. She rolled her eyes over dramatically "Oh Cheater! Your soooo funny!" she squeeled. "Cheater! Did you cut you hair?!" she spotted Ace and Lukas standing a little farther away. "Ace! Hi!" she shreicked then to Lukas "Have we ever met?! Your hot.... I'm Fancy!" she shreicked with delight and began laughing again. "You.." she said pointing to Ace "Your a keeper... Yes you are!" she stuck her tounge out at him....

Cheater stared at Fancy, her eye twitched. "Fancy, darling, you've got a fiance..." she said through gritted teeth, her eye twitched again.
"Please excuse my drunken idiot friend... she's... well... being a drunken idiot, and no Fancy, I did not cut my hair, and I don't plan to." Turning to Peem, she smiled. "I think I saw you over at McGinty's, near the fireplace? And there's going to be a lot more... brawls... to come I think..."

Lukas' eyes widened even further as he watched the biligerent girl. He let out an awkward squeek. This was all too much. He sank further into the couch, uncomfortable with everything going on. The crazy drunk engaged girl, the possibility of fights- he knew he doesnt stand much chance against a lot of the other newsies- and the eegerness of the new guy.
He looked up at Ace, his face wrinkled with confusion "Um, are we sellin' da Journal now? Cause i belive the World distrobution is in 'Hattan..."
