[CLOSED] PARK'S HAUNTED Y'ALL
WHO: Suzume & Hol Horse
WHERE: One of the local parks!
WHEN: Sep 17!
WHAT: Sometimes you have a past life and unfortunately the only one who won't spill on it is five
WARNINGS: Does Hol Horse being an idiot count
Rumor has it, for some, that one of the parks of Kaisou is a site of ~Paranormal Activity~. It's the kind of rumor that anyone with the Libra App ignores. It's just those little things that people who can sort of see the supernatural end up saying- the sort of little things that get completely passed over by anyone who can't see at all, that get blinked at and shrugged at by anyone used to it.
It's the sort of little thing that a Ghost Hunter/Ghost Hoax Hunter can't pass up during a dry spell- least of all when they're looking for a distraction.
So.
Saturday. Broad daylight, the park. It's a gloomy, cloudy day, the sort where most parents keep their kids at home so that they don't risk being rained on.
Suzume is not one of those kids, because frankly neither nanny nor babysitter nor Probably God is going to keep her from zooming on the potentially hazardous merry-go-round, or running up the slides, or zooming along the monkey bars, or-
...
It's a wind month.
As it is; Hol Horse comes to the park early, no doubt expecting to film nothing and no-one, save the occasional park goer getting their last swings in before a rainstorm.
What he gets is a kid being pushed by nothing on the swings, a kid being floated away from running up the slide (again), a kid clearly being held by............Something? Something that isn't there, to go across monkey bars...
...
Was that a flash of purple?

Behind her, 'Hoshi' is no doubt staring with the same dry frown he's had for pretty much this entire conversation. If even a single flash happens, that's what Hol's getting. Judgement. Imposing judgement. Judging-
"...Is it like...a hole in the ground? Do you make lots of holes, like in um...in sandboxes..?"
No wait, more importantly- "You have a nice hat Mister Hole..."
no subject
But Mister Hole sounds. Increasingly stupid. As do the questions. Oh man, maybe there is a better option.
"... You know what, just go with Horse instead. Hol ain't exactly the most friendly way of saying that." Oh, the hat, change the subject. "Well, thank you, it's one of many I own."
no subject
NO!
And before she will even Hear any protest, the girl just gasps. "There's more hats...?"
no subject
"No, that's not..." You know what. Why is he wasting his breath.
Hats, right. "Sure is, kiddo, got a different hat for each day of the week. Such is the life of a cowboy turned paranormal investigator."
no subject
The other thing is too long and tricky sounding, she's not even touching that.
no subject
"... Uh. Basically someone that works on a ranch, herds cattle, things like that. A little less glamorous than TV would have you think." Unfortunately.
no subject
OH!!
"Oh..! Mister WholeHorse, did you come from...from 'India'? There was a lot of 'cattle' there..!"
no subject
"... Exotic, but no. More like mundane ol' Texas here in the States, sorry to say."
no subject
So, really, India feels more mundane than Texas. "Um...is it near 'Florida'? Haha said that niisan and niisan's family live in Florida."
no subject
"So, this is Florida..." Just gonna point at that and show it to her before scrolling to the west and pointing to Texas. "And that's Texas. So not really?"
no subject
"Ohhhhh..." Well, that answers that. "Is....Japan far away too?"
