A Shark's Chum
As you walk into the Billiard room, you see an angry-looking spectre drifting around the table. It spots you and begins stalking toward you, hissing "Sharked! Hustled! Cheated!"
"Sounds like someone's a sore loser," you smirk.
The ghost howls with rage and rushes at you. Looks like this is your cue, if you've got the balls.
Grabbing a triangle from the wall, you start racking up the balls. "Double or nothing?"
The ghost stops short, looking unsure of itself, then grins and hisses.
"I'll take that as a yes."
A pool cue levitates off of its stand and floats towards the ghost, who takes it and steps up to the table to break. It's noticeably calmer now, its eyes -- or rather, the holes where its eyes used to be -- narrowed in concentration.
It turns out to be a better pool player than you are -- much better. It wins handily, but at least you pick up some valuable pointers from watching.
With a satisfied sigh, the ghost dissolves into nothingness, and its pool cue clatters to the floor.
Occurs at The Haunted Billiards Room, semi-rarely.
