 ==== Beta Age ====
-Stepping into Fire Bill in its Beta-Age glory, the echo of clacking balls and shouted bets hits you like a blast of hot wind. Lamps glow over slick tables, illuminating faces flushed with hope or panic. The tang of spilled beer and sweat mixes with cigar smoke as Felix Linda presides over the night’s marquee tournament. All around, hustlers whisper crooked odds while brawls erupt in the corners; every victory and defeat is amplified by roars from the gallery. Here, luck is currency — and everyone’s playing for keeps.
+Fire Bill in the Beta Age is a hall of measured tension rather than open chaos. The steady click of billiard balls echoes through the container walls, sharp and final, cutting through murmured bets and low voices. Pools of warm light hover over green felt tables, while the rest of the room remains deliberately dim.
+Steel walls carry the scars of a thousand nights — scratched plating, patched welds, faded tournament markings. The air smells of chalk dust, stale beer, and cold metal slowly warming under geothermal heat. Spectators lean close, arms folded, eyes fixed on the table as fortunes hinge on a single controlled stroke. There is shouting, but never without purpose. Violence is rare — and swift when it comes.
+From the bar, Butler Bots slide drinks across scarred counters, while Felix Linda’s presence hangs over the room like an unspoken rule: luck is respected here, but discipline is mandatory.
