B-but it's true, I cannot see--

[ kyoshika cuts herself off. before glancing at her waist, then back up at the empty space that theoretically has a horse there. ]

No, do not tell me you see it too...! There's truly only another woman here!

[ the holy jumonji sword might be messing with kyoshika. maybe she also doesn't see the horse. either way, the horse and uma absolutely don't hear the sword saying anything either. ]

[goldship]

... Who the heck are you talking to?

[ Gold Ship and, let's just call him who he is, Gold Ship exchange looks. Gold Ship bellows, Gold Ship's eyes narrow as she looks back at Kyoshika. ]

Oi, you should probably sit down. You're hearin' thi-

[ Her eyes widen, she cuts herself off and looks back at Gold Ship. ]

How the heck can I understand you?!

[believesit]

[ ...she's so confused. she'll sit down anyway? ]

The Holy Jumonji Sword... I'm sure she's playing along, there's no way that that can be true.

[ wait, what?? ]

Are you hearing something as well?! I understand that you may not be able to hear the Holy Jumonji Sword, but a talking horse...

[goldship]

[ Gold Ship proceeds to take a long, hard drag off the pipe that started this problem to begin with. The Everbloom petals smell nice and the repetitive action is calming. Plus the pipe stem gives her something to chew on in her frustration. ]

Dude. This chick's talking to a sword. That's like, the red flag, right?

Gold Ship who from now on will be Gold Ship bellows and nods his head, Golshi who will be Golshi from now on frowns and crosses her arms. ]

Yeah, yeah. I'm talking to a horse, I know I ain't exactly winnin' points in the marble department right now. Don't gotta rub it in.

[ SIGH. Addressing the sword whisperer directly now. ]

Alright Sword Girl, one thing at a time. You don't see the sixteen hand horse standing right in this room, right?

[believesit]

[ sword girl... well, okay. one thing at a time. ]

I do not. There are other patrons, you, your pipe, me, and my sword. No horse.

[goldship]

[ Gold Ship makes a VERY SMUG NOISE that has Golshi's eyes narrowing even further. She lets out a bellow of her own, blowing smoke out of her nose. ]

Really don't like what that's implyin'. Can't be good, whatever it is.

[ Alright, horse in the room addressed. The Confused and Worried Looks from the other people in the lounge kind of confirm it. Next problem. ]

And while I'm over here seein' a phantom horse- [ one could almost say a phantom triple crown, if they wanted to invoke a certain mad scientist at the same time... ] -you're over there, thinking you can hear your sword talking. We still on the same page here?

[believesit]

[ ahhh. the equivalencies. a word kyoshika wouldn't know how to say or spell. ]

I do not think I can, I know I can. [ a brief pause. ] It is understandable though, for you to feel as if I'm not telling the truth. Most people don't believe it when I explain it to them.

[goldship]

[ Golshi considers this for a moment, Gold Ship makes a grunting noise in his throat. ]

Big lug's kinda right. I'd be a hypocrite right now if I just dismissed ya as nuts.

[ She sighs, rubs the back of her neck awkwardly, and sits back down. ]

Alright. So you can talk to a sword, I can talk to an... invisible horse. I think we got a baseline established here, yeah?

[believesit]

[ kyoshika gives a chuckle, arms folded. ]

Indeed. I can think of worse ways for two to learn they're somewhat kindred spirits.

[goldship]

[ Kyoshika's commentary is apparently VERY FUNNY to the invisible horse going by the way he bobs his head and whinnies. ]

The heck do ya mean literally...?

[ SHE DOESN'T LIKE THE IMPLICATION?????

BUT UGH, okay. Ignore the fuckass horse! There's a girl to talk to, you like girls, even somewhat unhinged girls. Heck, Lucy's violent personality from the birthday party was more unhinged than talking to a sword and you tried to get into her pants. This gal probably isn't half bad. ]

Well, ain't sure how long this is gonna last. Pretty sure it's cause of this. [ She gestures with the pipe, then places it back in her mouth. ] But s'nice to meet ya either way. I'm Gold Ship.
