[Junna grins sheepishly at that. She's trying!] We'll get there.
[She nods her head, then, at the request. Even if she's seen how to shoot pool on TV, it's different to hold a cue and do it. So Junna pulls the rack off the balls, setting aside. Then, she leans over the table, lining up behind the cue ball. She does it slowly -- fingers cradling it just so, and she runs the pool cue between them.] Hold it like this. And the first shot is to break the rack.
[She sucks a breath in. It'd be silly to miss the shot, here. So, she takes some care -- and then hits it. The white ball goes rolling into the triangle of balls. That sends them flying about the table. Junna stands back up, then she smiles.]
So... now the field is open. That means either of us can hit the white ball into stripes and solids, until one of us sinks a ball into a pocket. If you sink a solid ball into a pocket, you can only do solids after that, and I do stripes. Or vice versa, or any other combination. [She breathes out, then, and stands back.]

So... take your shot, Imai-san!
