voice; open to everyone

[billionboy]

OH, SHIT, CAESAR-- [ The voice sounds panicked since he is accesses the telepathy first to get obviously Caesar's attention before -- ] FUCK -- shit -- rocks! Ah! That hur-- ow! How long is -- goddamn hill! Ack! Ow-ow-ow-- shitfuckass!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

...Oof.

[ Long pause, muffled. ] I tripped.

[billionboy]

It's over...

That can't... that can't... well... maybe, it's for the best...

[ He's not crying. Shut up. ]

[billionboy]

Jotaro-san fought a vampire, too! But I don't think he used Hamon!

[songbird_slayer]

Well, I don't know if this place can house a primal. Or if someone possesses the power to create golems.

Though I think if he encountered a golem or Titan we'd be hearing the aaAAAAAIGH WHAT IS THAT WHY DOES IT HAVE A FACE...

[tropism]

[ WHAT IN THE GODDAMNED -

but that doesn't prove anything. a man has the same birthmark as he does and a stand as well. all stand users are drawn to each other, and this is a fact - so why does it matter if he had the same mark?

facts. stick to facts. giorno grits his teeth. he remembers the coliseum, still. not too long ago he had promised narancia he would bring him home. and he'd seen buccellati ascend like in those paintings in sistine chapel.

he doesn't really believe in fate; but inevitability is -

("i've got to tell my friends back in japan - !")

he can't breathe. ]

Is that mark really so valuable?

[ facts. stick to facts. ]

[billionboy]

O-Oh.

[ Long pause. ] I... My bad. I'm sorry, Caesar. I wouldn't know what to say to that, either, man. Um, I could ask someone else to take me back since ya got a lot to think about...

[girasole]

... [...Joseph Joestar, what the fuck did you do.] ...well, it's family business. It's in the blood. Tradition. Destiny?

[fivefingerdeathpunch]

I'm sorry.

[That's all there is to say, really.]

[girasole]

No, that's fine. Thank you, but...I can tell you about it, if you'd like. [...] Once I find you. Not over...this.

[billionboy]

Destiny, huh?

Maybe...? I'm not sure about something deep like that, but I believe in them a lot. Ya know? The Joestars and their family.

[songbird_slayer]

Smack it until it stops moving, mostly. Some golems have a soulstone that you shatter to paralyze it temporarily.

Ah, but that's neither here nor there! Have you broken anything? Do you need someone to come find you? I can't heal per se, but I can try a little something.

[billionboy]

Why are you apologizing...?

voice

[billionboy]

A soulstone? Like a weak point that glows or some shit like that, yeah? [ Pardon his language. ]

What would you try? My friend Caesar is lookin' all over lots of mountains to come get me, but if ya can do somethin' when we would get back. That'd be real appreciated!

[billionboy]

Mmn. Sure.

That... somethin' like that... shouldn't just stay with a person. Yeah, I'll listen to you, Caesar. [ A beat. ] Sorry about fallin' down a hill.

[girasole]

To be fair I've seen...

[There is a pause large enough to fit Ifrit through.] Well. Some of these powers. It's likely a matter of time before we have someone scream something like you said.

[girasole]

Yes.

[Not Jotaro, but yes.] My friend had it, as did his grandfather before him, and, apparently, if what this Jotaro says is true, his daughter as well as his grandson has it. Why?

[girasole]

You have nothing to apologize for, Okuyasu. All of this means that it works out in the end and really, that's all I can ask for.

[tropism]

[ why, he asks. "well it just so happens that my father had it. and he was blonde and he died in egypt. egypt, where all those arrows came from. do you know what those arrows are, caesar? remember when i told you about the mafia? what i didn't tell you was that i became the don just before i left, because i killed diavolo. my stand. it turned into requiem. it can manipulate time, just a fraction of it, and now you're telling me that all of this is a part of - a greater destiny.

all i need to know is whether or not you know dio brando. but given what i've heard, how can i trust any of you? you have some power beyond stands, and yet you are part of our world. okuyasu and jotaro have stands. what am i supposed to make out of this - " ]

It's just curious.

I know a very important man who has the same mark. [ a pause. ] But he died in Egypt.

[fivefingerdeathpunch]

[--Ah, yeah, he's heard a bit about this in whatever simplified version actually got told to young Joestars at all the family gatherings, so this gives him a better idea of when, exactly, Caesar was pulled from. Haha, sorry about your death?

They're gonna have to have a long talk after this. Preferably with beer, if someone has the power to make that happen. For now, Jotaro switches back to voice.]

Her name is Holly. Apparently Jiji picked it.

[billionboy]

[ That's...?

He goes quiet. ] Um. I am going to do somethin' that'll make ya mad but ... I can't say it. I think this is one of those times. Yeah, I think so. [ That is, when he sees Caesar, he'll attempt to link their pain. Sure, he's all bruised up from falling down a hill but it's minor aches and bruises really. The pain of hearing that ya died has to be weighing real hard -- yes, this is one of those time to attempt to alleviate the pain by sharing it in more than just hearing what Caesar has to say. ]

[fivefingerdeathpunch]

[JESUS FUCKING--what is with this place? There's exactly one person Jotaro knows of with that mark who died in Egypt and stayed dead, so:]

That man was a curse on the Joestar family and nearly killed my mother.

[girasole]

It's a good name. It's the sort of name he would pick. Hopefully he raised her well. I'd be mad if he didn't. [...they're never going to have that long talk.] What am I saying, of course he spoiled her.

[girasole]

I'd say you must be joking but at this point I wouldn't rule out you being my cousin a thousand times removed if what everyone said was true, and, given that we're both Italians, and, thus, our family bonds are the strongest in the world, we were drawn together just to deal with this shit.

[tropism]

[ a hundred million hopes were placed on that photograph and here you are. ]

Then we need to talk, because he's important to me.

Who are you to him ....? To - [ let's face it. there's no avoiding it now. THERE'S NO QUITTING THIS RIDE. ] Dio Brando.

[fivefingerdeathpunch]

Because I can't do anything to help.

[tropism]

[ .... ]

If what Jotaro is saying is true, you wouldn't want to be my family.

Don't forget what I told you of Naples.
