Alright. [ He pops the white ball onto the top of the table, and grabs the... wow I don't play billiards that little blue chalk thing and rubs it over the end of the cue. ]
You gotta hit the white ball into the coloured ones, and knock them into the pockets. Colours are world different amounts. I think there's an order you have to go in, but I don't actually care.
... [ Ash’d say it has a little weight to it, but it’s still pretty easy to shift around. ] Games wouldn’t last long if you were hefting and balancing a huge stick all the time. There’s gotta be some concession, right?
Mm, that's true. [ he's aiming for a pool ball now except ash didn't show him the proper way to hold it so i guess that first attempt is honestly a rather pathetic bloop of a tap. hm ]
[ kanesan would have been proud. THAT BEING SAID, HE TRIES AGAIN AND WOW, WOULD YOU IMAGINE THAT. spite actually does work and with narrowed eyes and perfect aim, it bounces into a hole...! ]
[ which is why with murder eyes, Horikawa aims for the ball, and with a sharp snap, STRIKES-! while colored ones do roll properly into the side holes but that white ball certainly is ricocheting back at them now. ]
[ nothing like a little murder to make the game fun. however, being the one currently being targeted, hori at least enough sense to duck at the ball flying at them. ]
Oops-!
[ congrats we've officially embedded one (1) ball into the wall. don't ask me how the physics of that works just roll with it.

Simple in concept, tricky in execution. Best kind.

[ aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat least he's honest. ]
I can take some potshots, give you an idea though. It'll kill some time.
no subject
Oh...! Well, in that case, do whatever you wish then.

I see... [ he doesn't ] It sounds rather simple but I assume there's something that makes it more challenging?
no subject
....
He just flips the cue around and holds it out. ]
Try it, and see what you think that is.
no subject
It's so light...! [ google says the average is roughly 18g and hori's body is theoretically over 600g. ] I didn't expect that.

Give it more oomph.
[ this can only go well ]
no subject
anyways, Hori tries again and well, the ball certainly goes flying-! Off the table.
...........Huh. This is surprisingly more difficult than I thought.
no subject
More like this.
[ he gets the cue in his grasp and knocks one of the balls across the table, clacking into the sides and bouncing off. ]
Somewhere in the middle.
no subject
Hmm..... I think I see.
[ he copies Ash's pose this time, aiming for one of the balls and smack! it bounces!! .......but doesn't go into any of the holes, f ]
no subject
... So, try again but do it better maybe?
no subject
Haha, I seem to have spoken too boldly.
[ kanesan would have been proud. THAT BEING SAID, HE TRIES AGAIN AND WOW, WOULD YOU IMAGINE THAT. spite actually does work and with narrowed eyes and perfect aim, it bounces into a hole...! ]
....!! Oh!!
no subject
Huh, you did it. [ hold up, he's gonna dig that ball out and pop it back on the table, and then tap it with his fingertip. ]
Now do it without bouncing.
no subject
I think I'm getting a feeling for this.

ash isn't gonna tell horikawa what could happen if it ricochets too hard. experience is the best teacher, right? ]

no subject
[ dnw he'll call her later and apologize on the floor ]
no subject
Okay. More strength than your first try, less than your last.
no subject
This is far more complicated than I realized.
[ at least he seems to be getting the hang of it ]

[ at least he's actually hitting them in like. relatively decent strength now. still not doing Great but it's only day one ]
