[It's late, but that's to be expected of Izabel.]
Soooo I hear you're also in the "fuck Dio and the prepubescent body he came in on" club. How are things?

She didn't tell me why because that's your business [They love and respect you, buddy.] but I've been checking in on a few people. I saw her talking to him and wanted to her to know what she was getting into. Didn't take us long to realize there was more to the story than either of us knew.
I'm sorry about whatever he did. Or does, whatever. Time is dumb. Everything is dumb.

[He nearly tells her not to apologize, but damn if he isn't tired of every time he says that being followed by a new wave of getting mad at himself.
So.] i dont kno wat anyone elses shits all abt honestly. maybe i should?? idk me n josuke hardly know these guys

If you want me to, you know I'm more than willing to listen. You're my friend.
But I also know that after a while, explaining the same thing over and over isn't great.
So it's up to you.
[The rest can wait a little bit. Just a little bit more.]

man im not made of glass
when dio grows up into an even bigger asshole hes got this thing where he puts like some nasty spore in people to fuck with them or watever?? i dont know i was like 5. he put one in my dad n then went n fuckind ied n i guess when u put ur MONSTER SPORES in ppl n then die it makes em grossass mutants???? u should meet my dad but u really shouldnt bc hes been a rotting frog monster for like 10 yrs n cant do shit for himself
[Sometimes he's not entirely sure his father remembers who he is, he decides not to include. Not now, no.]
then my bro went fuckin insane trying to kill him & not just once. now hes dead instead & ive got a stupid lump dad left for me & dios dead too so i cant even punch anyone in the dick for ruining my shitty family
& hes a fresh little bitch as a kid too like shit. he deserves it

Maybe you're just stronger than me.
[And maybe she thinks that's true in ways, even after all she's seen. There were a lot of times she swore she hated her parents with how focused they were on the war, or for the things they did. But they had never been forcibly turned into rotting frog monsters because of some faceless asshole nightmare when she was too young to understand.]
He does, doesn't he? I made a promise that he wouldn't be harmed for now, or else I'd be right there next to you knocking his teeth out. But I did promise.

[Well that- gives him pause. Not the part about being stronger - let's not get into that now - but the promise not to harm him? He doesn't believe she's here to tell him to back off because someone else said so, but he still can't help the thought. It's not a good feeling.]
ok u gotta listen to me before u keep going w/ watever u wanna say abt that
im being real honest when i say i dont give a shit wat happens to him or whos going around talking abt it. thats not a u thing thats just a thing thats fucking true
so u can do that but if he screws w/ me ill break his face

And no one would blame you.
[He can't see it, of course, but she her posture changes, then, into something more tense.
...She's cutting it awfully close on multiple fronts.]
No one would blame you because they understand just as much as you that sometimes the family you've got is just kinda shitty sometimes.
I can't say I understand entirely where you're coming from because I can't. That's your life. But this is why I can't harm him. My reasons for wanting you to not harm him are different.
I don't want to see you getting hurt, Okuyasu. There are some things even Josuke's Stand can't fix and that just so happens to be the kind of pain that Dio is best at dishing out. If he screws with you, yes. Break his goddamn punk face in. But while you do that I need you to do a few favors to me, too. As your friend. Please?

[There is a part of what she says that doesn't totally make sense to him, but he isn't interested in it now enough to ask. She's doing it, telling him to lay off, and that stirs up his anger from where it had fallen to a low burn. White noise in the background. He could probably live with being sort of pissed off all the time.
Stupidly, because it's a stupid thing to take issue with and he knows that, Okuyasu wishes she would stop saying "harm." It's too mild. The kid earned a punch in the face already even without the merits of his future, so why the fuck not?]
hes like 10. the fuck im not going to break the hell down over a brat who doesnt know who i am
[One hit and he's through, one hit and he'll go back to never talking about this stuff because what good does it do? But. Another bit of her logic catches; some things even Josuke's Stand can't fix. Okuyasu isn't worried about his feelings, but if Dio really does go from shitty brat to psycho while he's here... Nothing that's ever been a hassle to Okuyasu was actually done to him directly. He feels dumb and paranoid anyway because what does Dio even care about him--
Damn it.]
stop making it sound like the end of the world and ill listen. im not promising anything but hearing u out

[Oh.
...Oh.]
Sorry. I just... Fuck this kid, you know? Or the guy he grows up to be. It's frustrating to not be able to do anything about it other than talk. And when things are like this sometimes it's just easier to pretend I was actually MEANT to be the daughter to rebel leaders instead of some dead girl trying to keep the status quo.
[Still, she takes a minute to breathe, stretch away the tension in her ghostly bones, and remind herself that not everyone needs an operative of Don Giovanna. Maybe no one did.]
Okay. I'll stop in a second, but humor freedom fighter Izabel for just a little longer. So here's where we're at. We don't want little Dio finding out what big Dio gets up to. Like you said he's like fucking ten or something so the only power he has is what we give him. He's good with words and controlling people even at this age. If things blow up between you guys it would be really really good if you stopped yourself from telling him why because that would just be another way for him to try and manipulate you.
And the less serious bonus: anger without an explanation would probably confuse the hell out of him.

[Okuyasu wonders a lot about the "we" here and who exactly that's an amalgam of - Dio sure does get around - but maybe he can ask about that later when he's not so single-minded. He'll tell Josuke about it, get some better words for it than "the fuck is you" or something... yeah.
So, then. Cards on the table.]
yea i guess but i dont give a shit if hes confused or not either. if hes getting his dues im down
so youre saying the fuckin cavalry wont come down on me if i take a swing at him for screwing w/ me right because i can put more people on the list of folks im not talking to if i really gotta
dont want to. but ykno. if ur "we" wants to start shit w/ me then fine but im not rolling over & taking it for anyones sake

There are only a few that might and if they do? I'll talk to them. But no, as long as you keep him in the dark while you do it I don't think it will be a problem. Everyone knows he's awful even if they want to deal with him differently.
We good?
We good?
You got it. <3
But man I'm pretty stressed and he didn't even directly do anything to me. Do you want to try touching me as a distraction?
[...wait -- ]
Holy shit that almost sounds worse than the time I literally asked to touch Sex Pistols.
You know what I mean though right?

[IZABEL?? Like the mature doofus he is, somewhere across the city he snorts and nearly drops his watch on his face, as you do when it's Late and you're still texting.
Points for that - he laughed.]
who tf calls their stand sex pistols
but uhhh right now?? im kinda occupied how do u feel abt 12hr rain checks
[He's very busy... sitting with Josuke and texting other people and occasionally saying "man, bullshit, right??" justteenthings]
