Come on in, meet Kloppman, and relax!
With some ratty furniture and a dusty floor, this is the perfect newsie hang-out!
((locked for borough war purposes))

Jack sat down on the old couch, one hand to his temples. He had no idea how he was going to explain this to his kids. How was he supposed to tell them that they were in a war with the other bouroughs? They had friends through-out New York. How were they going to react?

Sweets stepped in and quietly closed the door behind her. Finding only Jack in the room, she went over to the sofa and sat down, leaning on the arm. "Hiya Jack," she said somewhat meekly. She was still quite intimidated by the Manhattan leader.

"Erm, Jack?" Hawkeye walked into the lodging house, and ran a hand through her hair nervously, "What's goin' on? I got word ta come back 'ere..."

Two-Bit sat down on the other side of the couch from Jack. She didn't say anything, because he looked pretty worn out. Instead she just waited for the other Manhattan kids to get there.

Rose quietly walked in, noticing the others who had already arrived. She stood quietly, for her nerves had gotten to her, leaving her at a loss for words.

Jewel entered the lodging house, glancing around at everyone curiously. She didn't know what to say or do, so she just took a seat on the nearby couch, Indian-style and awaited what was to come... whatever it was.

Mush came down the stairs half backwards, and quietly, and then turned front laughing a bit but then realized the room was deathly quiet. He quickly stopped and looked around. "Whoa... who died?" he said as a pure joke. He hadn't meant a thing by it, he was just curious what had happened.

"Life... as we know it," Jewel said flatly, pursing her lips together. She tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear and watched as Mush moved to sit down next to her.

"Spike did." Race said, answering Mush's question and walking into the room with a dark look on his face. He took a seat on the sofa and immediately pulled out a cigarette.

"Ohhh..." Mush said. He hadn't acctually been literal when he had asked that question. "So... what's up? What is... gonna happen?" he asked. He'd missed everything, and didn't even known that technically a meeting had been called. Mush walked over and sat beside Racetrack. "Gotta spare?" he asked quietly hoping Race would loan him a cigarette.

Hawkeye folded her arms across her chest and leaned back on the wall behind her. She tilted her head to the side, "Who's Spike?"

Race gave a sideways glare at Mush. "whaddya mean what's gonna happen huh!? Didn't ya heah me? He's dead Mush, a kid, a newsie, he's dead."
He stood up and began pacing, then leaned against the far wall where it was more shadowed, taking a long drag on his cigarette.

Hawkeye watched the Italian pace, then retreat to the other side of the room. She sighed, then walked after him.
"Hey, Race," Hawkeye leaned her shoulder on the wall, a few feet from where Racetrack stood, "Ya okay?" that was dumb, "Er, sorry, that was a stupid question..." she paused then asked, "Didja know 'im?"

Rose looked around at all of the Newsies in distress. She thought about saying something to heighten their spirits, but nothing came out.
She walked over to the couch where Race had been sitting, and took a seat. She placed her elbows on her knees, and held her face in her hands, waiting to be told something.
