[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?

yea u & me we good

hope ur better w/ words than me if its coming to that but tell ur mystery gang i got self control ok

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]

[Well, she would be happy if she knew.]

It isn't my favorite name but the Pistols themselves are pretty cool.

[Which isn't actually an answer to that question, but wheeee.]

I can deal with that. Say hi to Josuke for me?

[Because...obviously...]

[This is the part where Josuke gets elbowed for a 'hi' delivery.]

he says hey

& im pretty sure thats an english band. kinda weird

Why would you name a band Sex Pistols?

why would u name a stand after a band. idk my bro did that too & it was always weird

[Thankfully... his knowledge of rock bands that sing in English is limited.....]

I don't know how much it has to do with the band. I mean, they're six bullets sorta so it kinda fits?

so

why isnt it called sex bullets

I don't know because they go in the pistol maybe??

haha wat a freak

[like a FREAK freak... filthy dick joke Stands!!]

ok heres a distraction q for u. if u had a stand wat would u name it

[Nooo Mista and the Pistols are sweet... Oh, never mind. Not important right now.]

Uhhh wow that's a good question

Like okay are my Stand powers the same as my ghost powers, the illusion stuff? Or what?

if u want?? u kno wat the hand & crazy d do & i guess the sex guns

my bros stand summoned a tiny army. i kno how that sounds but it was tough

one of our [....... how does one describe yukako yamagishi]

our friends gf can make her hair move??? u can have watever stand u want

I dunno the way I've seen it go on so far is that Stands represent their user in some way so it's not like it could be WHATEVER... Maybe if it's not the illusion stuff it would be a scout thingy? Something that could look around or keep an eye on the situation.

I guess either way half of it would be Eyes? But idk if that should be the first or second part...

[STANDS ARE SERIOUS BUSINESS]

damn is that tru??? nobody ever told us that

[Stands are serious business everywhere but Morioh, where they are cute and fun.]

search me tho. all i got is pink eye but thats like. gross

I'm pretty sure? I mean it'd be some kinda crazy coincidence if all those Stands just happened to be symbolic. Though I'm having trouble with some of them still.

Ha ha but fitting I guess. Or maybe like Hazel Eyes? She's the girl I babysit back home, so it's like my eyes are on her AND I'm her eyes? Or is that dumb? OH Terror Eyes! Like terrorize because I'm a spooky ghost did you know some people called us Horrors back home? Rude as fuck right?

i can get some of em like josukes a nice dude so he fixes stuff yea sure but whats hair got to do with anything???

[Terror Eyes... GROAN]

if u call ur stand terror eyes we cant be friends for like a day. i need to recover from that shit. i think hazel eyes is ok

[...hmmmn discussing symbolism with sweet darling oku might not work.]

I would have to know what she's like but I'm sure I could come up with SOME kind of reason. I'm very into hair these days.

What's wrong with my hypothetical Terror Eyes?

shes a little crazy? were in the same class but shes hard to hang out w/ sometimes

[Remember the kidnapper... they only know approximately 2 girls.]

terror eyes. ur stuck w/ the name forever u kno. like if someone told me when i was a kid id be stuck w/ the hand forever............

id still do it but id think for like 5 min first

Ohhhh my god the yandere?? (Oh do me a favor and nudge Josuke, tell him I may have seen some kuudere after all it's good now.) ANYWAY I could say that she's getting tangled up in all kinds of problems, or when you brush out the knots she's okay, or just that she's unusual and so she's literally one with her Stand so it's very much her STYLE. Her craziness makes you pull your hair out so her hair pulls at you. She takes something beautiful and turns it into something powerful but frightening.

Idk man I could go forever probably.

So do you like ever just go TALK TO THE HAND when you don't want to deal with someone like that's a good catchphrase for a fight right?

[.... well he's not NOT going to kick Josuke again and pass this on, but he'll do it with a "what the hell" included.]

he says the babys all grown upffffffedjfia
.,,,., .m

ive been informed i cant call mr jotaro a baby

[So. Shortly after that...]

honestly id just guess its because hairs in monster movies a lot and shes nuts. but urs are good too. koichi would probably agree w/ u more abt those since theyre a thing

& no i always deal w/ people w/ a sick punch
