[Don't you mean that he's going to hamon it up? But as soon as she sees the bow, she couldn't stop giggling. In fact, she couldn't help but curtsy right back!]

Then shall we get going, Mister Jonathan? [She said before pointing to a door nearby] I think better hurry before our carriage leaves without us! You're the only one who can drive us out of here!

[Don't making her making beeping noises of a car!]

[immobileyes]

... I was hoping you wouldn't say that.

[cryptologic]

[ He opens his mouth - but, well, he can't really argue with that. And if there's one thing he's learned from his various ventures outside the colony, it's that he shouldn't pretend to be a fighter when he's not. Even if he couldn't really "die" in Cerealia, it would still hurt if a monster popped out and decided to munch on him. ]

Okay, fine. Lead the way.

[atlasrising]

[ Hearing that glitchy codes were effecting his body was spooky enough. But holy hell, it was messing with his head, too? That's unsettling.

Rhys frowns, shaking his head. ] I, I can try to fix it. I've got...experience with this kind of stuff. [ Illegal experience with data mining, more like it. But at the same time, this could be different code, right? Something different than what he's used to.

He'll look over to Zer0. ] That'll work, right?

[atlasrising]

[ Rhys notices the whole open-gown-butt thing, but he's more worried about the fact that his ass is probably hanging out instead. Why did they have to steal their clothes? What if you had a million dollars just lying around in your pockets, and it all disappeared? There wasn't anything funny about that. It was kind of a jackass move, to be honest.

But hey.

...Did Rhys ever introduce himself? Hell if he can remember. From the very moment he woke up, this video game has brought one disaster after another. Rhys can barely keep a hold on his sanity right now, let alone anything else. He clears his throat and tries to actually, y'know. Talk. ]

I'm, um. I'm Rhys. S-Sorry. Guess I didn't think to actually introduce myself before.

[ He blames the fact that this guy looks a lot like Handsome Jack. That kind of took him back a bit. ]

Are we going the right way?

[beatofmyblood]

[Hey, those are barely even a thing yet! Have mercy.]

Yes, we mustn't delay! How else are we ever going to get to the ball?

[In all seriousness, though, he is going to open the door just a crack and peek around for any danger before heading through.]

[beatofmyblood]

[That's fair enough - he responds to the first statement with a nod of acknowledgement. Past that, though, the tinge of concern that came along earlier is back in full force. That is more familiarity than he's comfortable with, and flashes of Dio come back to his mind - their youth, that fateful night where humanity was lost, the night on his honeymoon where he admitted he respected Jonathan enough to--

He gulps. He's getting carried away with his own thoughts here.]

I think I might know how you feel. It wasn't exactly the same, and the situation wasn't always like that, but my own brother acts similarly.

It's...complicated, to say the least.

[beatofmyblood]

[Jonathan listens patiently, trying to grasp at least the basics - and as bizarre as this situation is, he thinks he's accomplishing that at least decently well. At the very least, he's grateful that he didn't have to figure things out on his own once (or if) he managed to escape the bodybag on his own.

That is, until a toetag is thrust towards him. He reaches down so he can look at it, and his expression immediately contorts into a mix of confusion and...disgust, maybe? Mostly confusion. For one, that cause of death surely isn't accurate, and he has no idea what half the terminology on the tag means, but there's one thing that's certain.]

They aren't mistaken. I am Jonathan Joestar.

[He furrows his brow. From the way he's talking, he's making it sound like there's some kind of mistake inherent in that.]

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Brothers are a pain in the ass, huh.

[He mutters the next part under his breath, though perhaps a bit too loudly.]

Especially when they come back from the dead as psychopaths...

[johnnyjoestar]

[The confusion he could definitely relate to. He'd felt it himself over and over through the games they'd put him in at the start. People had tried to explain and he'd stubbornly ignored most of their advice. Not that he was always so charitable with his, but the guy seemed to get it. Or accept it. Same thing.

But when he spoke, it was Johnny's turn to wear an expression of open-mouthed confusion.]

The hell you are, I'm Jonathan Joestar!

[He'd blurted out the words before they had a chance to filter through his thoughts, but even then, he wasn't sure he regretted them. This guy, this giant mountain of a man was supposed to be Jonathan Joestar? It wasn't bad enough his own family wished he'd died, now he had some imposter who looked a hell of a lot more respectable than he did stealing his name. Great.

He narrowed his eyes before remembering the exact same thing he'd been asked after someone else had heard the Joestar name. He shook his head, wheeling back a step to give the man space.]

Your birthmark. If you're really a Joestar, then prove it.

[faceplate]

...maybe.

[ he can try. zer0 isn't quite willing to be his test subject, however, and doesn't volunteer. ]

[beatofmyblood]

[...if Jonathan was unfortunate enough to be drinking anything at this moment in time, he'd be spitting it out everywhere. As it is, though, he's just going to take a shuddered gasp as every god damn muscle in his body tenses up like he's just been shot.]

D-Did you say...?!

[No, no no no, this cannot have happened.]

[beatofmyblood]

[Jonathan nods at Dipper and starts walking, his expression turning grave. He needs to anticipate anything and everything so they both get out of here alive, but...well, that's a little difficult in his situation, so he's going to turn back to look at Dipper before too long.]

That being said, I would still appreciate your help. What sort of traps have you seen in levels before?

[beatofmyblood]

...that means yes, then?

[Jonathan sighs, briefly stopping to look more closely at their surroundings.]

If our hunch is correct, then we should find our way out of here as quickly as we can manage.

[decoyhero]

[Rhys, Rhys...The name is familiar for some reason, but for the life of him he can't remember why. Probably because he's far more concerned with getting out of this nightmare hospital.

Well, it'll surely come back to him eventually.]

Eh, you've done it now. No big deal. [He shrugs, and pauses momentarily as he steps back into the t-junction he'd left in order to pester Rhys.]

I...have no idea, honestly. But I hope so. Feels like I've been down here for hours.

[He turns left to resume his interrupted search for the exit, shivering a bit as he does so. He really, really can't wait to find some pants.]

[rejuvenate]

[ Sorry...Keigo. Giorno's going to be rather blase about what he did. He did say that he creates life, didn't he? However, Keigo's reaction reminds him of something someone else told him—how it might not be well received by certain others.

Something along the lines of "playing God". ]

It has it's limitations. [ He just doesn't know what those are but he's almost without a doubt sure that there will be things that he will not (should not) be able to do. But then Giorno's still learning the insides and outs of his Stand so maybe that wall might be a lot farther out than he suspects it might be. ]

I'm sorry if it makes you uncomfortable.

[rejuvenate]

[ There's definitely something watching them but Giorno's not going to say a word and instead keep up the light conversation. ]

Italy. [ Giorno answers simply enough and makes sure that he's completely calm about the something that seems to be following them. However, he also gradually starts to pick up his pace a bit. There's no reason for him to panic (or keep panicking) Rhys whenever it wasn't exactly necessary. ]

Have you heard of a place like that? It's on Earth and I feel that it's beauty and food are unmatched.

[ He's also a youngster who hasn't exactly done a lot of traveling just yet in his life. But it's better to talk about good things instead of the looming monster... ]

i wish i had an icon to use for jonathan's birthmark

[beatofmyblood]

What?

[His initial reaction is shock. Two people with the same first name isn't unusual at all, but he knows Joestar is far from a common surname. Not to mention that he was supposed to be the last of his family - a fact he had internalized by now, no matter how difficult it was - and hearing a complete stranger challenge that directly, no matter how strong his resolve has grown, shakes him to the core.

How?]

My birthmark...

[It hasn't featured nearly as prominently in his life as some of his descendants, but he's seen it on his father and had it pointed out at dinner parties casually. Jonathan knows well what Johnny is referring to, and turns around while he pulls down the collar of his hospital gown.

That sure is a star birthmark on his shoulder, alright.]

This is what you mean, isn't it?

[Jonathan knows what he's referring to, but how does a stranger know about his birthmark? Is he actually...?]

[immobileyes]

...

So we should run?

July Intro

[frozentear]

Shigeru

[frozentear]

(continued from here)

...Is there really a lot of bad stuff that happens here? I thought this was like an immersive haunted house. You know, the kind you'd have to sign a waiver for.

[Okay, so he's never actually been to one of those, but it always sounded like it'd be a really interesting experience.]

[johnnyjoestar]

[Johnny was really hoping that would put an end to the conversation right there, but his stomach twisted as the man reached for his shoulder and sure enough, the family's odd little birthmark stood like a taunting reminder.

His expression was sour, not that it was much different from what he normally wore, as he reached up and slid the neckline of his shirt aside, revealing the same mark. There had to be another explanation for this. He'd been through enough confusion when Kakyoin told him about another- Joseph Joestar. Was it possible this giant of a man was his namesake? He was fairly sure there hadn't been any Jonathan's before him...]

Yeah.

[He cursed a few times under his breath. What the hell was happening?]

Hey... The year, what was it? The last date you remember?

[forgeabettertomorrow]

...You uh...

You heard that last part, huh.

viridi

[atlasrising]

[ Rhys, for one, is a little perturbed, but not enough to the point where he's ready to book it down the hallway. If it's a game they'll just get the game over screen and call it a day, right? He really didn't pay attention to any of this stuff.

He moves a hand upward to brush some of his hair back, raising an eyebrow at her selection of ghost stories. ] That's...not what I was expecting, but fine.

[ With a nonchalant shrug, Rhys settles a little more into the bag. ] I'm listening.

[atlasrising]

...Italy? [ It's not like he spends his free time studying maps of Pandora all day, but that loses him pretty dang easily. At least until he's told about what planet it's from.

Alright, any panic he's felt is pushed to the side. Rhys is centuries in the future; the fact that there's someone he's talking to that's from Earth is pretty great! Did they even cover Earth in classes anymore? It was literally one of those planets that people knew about, but it had been gone for so long that people really didn't care anymore. Or at least, those not interested in the fascinating history of the universe.

Rhys wasn't a space guy or anything, but still. That's pretty neat! ] You actually came from Earth? That's pretty impressive, actually. I remember learning that most people from Earth could barely walk on two legs, let alone try and function. If that's the case, you're doing pretty great!

[ he means that in a good way ]
