The one climate I have not been in is a desert.

You mentioned you went to Cairo?

[starmark]

yeah. we went through the sahara part of the way

we got held up when i had to fight a guy but

i guess what's weird is that they're both so vast and so...lonely

but the desert is just empty

the ocean is full, and there's nothing in a desert that can compare to the feeling of warm saltwater holding you up

[manuscripture]

Don't you find it funny how people consider the ocean to be empty and lonely?

It is part of why people never go sailing. Part of why they don't swim. There is nothing there, and yet underneath them, it is teaming with more creatures than anyone could ever grasp in both hands.

They are afraid of both what is and is not in it.

It's almost a paradox.

[starmark]

it's a different kind of empty and lonely. it's deceptive. empty without ever being empty at all.

you sound like you're starting to like it

the ocean, i mean

[manuscripture]

I like the things I cannot put a finger on right away.

The things that make no sense or have a way about them that is not easily identifiable.

I do like it.

The ocean.

It makes me wish I visited more often or went sailing.

[starmark]

sailing sounds like

like it'd be interesting, i mean




i like reading about boats too

[manuscripture]

It's too bad taking a boat around here would be ill-advised.

Imagine how nice it would be if I wasn't 500% positive we would be eaten, Jotaro.

[starmark]

i'm imagining




so i'm invited too, huh

to go sailing with you

[manuscripture]

Of course.

I wouldn't want to go alone. That's far too dangerous.

So if there was anyone I would want to pick, it would be you.

[starmark]

because there might be danger

and you know i'd keep you safe

?

[manuscripture]

That's part of it.

I wouldn't take someone with me who I didn't, you know, actually like.

[starmark]

josuke says we act like a married couple

speaking of people you do or don't actually, you know, like

[manuscripture]

Since when have I ever cared about his opinion?

Do we?

[starmark]

i'm pretty sure you asking me that is literally the definition of caring about his opinion

[manuscripture]

Am I not allowed to be curious?

I was trying to enjoy talking about a vacation and you dragged Josuke into it.

[starmark]

i'm not really an expert on married couples. most of the ones i've known actually spend a lot of time apart.

tell me more about the vacation then. tell me what you'd do and what i'd do, while we were on it.

[manuscripture]

Neither do I.

Anyway, you never told me where you would like to visit. I would prefer to have legs and a normal body temperature again so I can actually enjoy sunbathing. I don't miss my chronic sunburn.

We can do the looking for dolphins thing.

[starmark]

oh

...i mean i guess florida would be cool to visit but you've already been there

maybe california that's where my mom's grandma lives

[manuscripture]

Surprisingly I have never been to California. America doesn't offer me a whole lot.

I like Italy and Spain the most, really.

[starmark]

i've never been to either

italy might be interesting though my grandmother is native italian so my mom's a half and i guess that makes me like...a quarter? or something

[manuscripture]

Mister Joestar is your grandfather and Josuke's father. You two have quite the diverse family tree.

I wouldn't have guessed.

[starmark]

yeah

and since josuke's mom is japanese that means jiji cheated on my grandma somewhere along the way so the next time i see him i'm gonna have to beat his fucking face in

they live in new york most of the time though, mom's the one who moved to japan with my dad

so mom's american italian and i'm a half

...

japanese, i mean

[manuscripture]

He isn't really right in the head anymore at home. I think you would literally kill him.

That might not look so good.

Still, having a wide range in a bloodline can be fun to dig into.

My family and I are not close. We haven't been for a very long time.

[starmark]

he hasn't been right in the head for fifty years or more

i think you mentioned that once, yeah, you moved away as soon as you could or something?

[manuscripture]

I did.

There are times where I think that it might have been a mistake but I never spent much time with them to begin with. They were more keen on dumping me on my grandmother.

If they were distraught over it, they might call. I've moved around so much I am not sure they know where I am anymore.

It's better this way.
