i think your pattern looks good

you should try a black headband sometime

i never really thought of myself as a purple kind of guy honestly

[manuscripture]

Black suits you much better but it's nice to step out of your comfort zone every once in a while. Despite being made of blue, it does not usually sit well next to it. I need to find out which combination of my paints will make up the color of your scales.

I would like to have a black one but my entire collection is back at home and I am not paying Mana my well-earned coins for a new one.

I have thought about getting rid of it all together with how my hair keeps growing out. Would that look strange?

[starmark]

...

you'd wear your hair long

???

[oh shit he might've just imagined it

oh shit he might've doki'd a little

shit shit shit]

[manuscripture]

[ are you okay jotaro ]

Not long-long. I would still get it cut but with more natural body to it. Long enough wear down without looking like a ragamuffin.

It's a thought. Maintaining my usual hairstyle is getting cumbersome.

[starmark]

you could slick it back

combed back at the sides, maybe

so it falls around your neck

their conversation topic gymnastics are insane

[manuscripture]

I never considered that.

Changing my part would be weird. I've been wearing it like this since I was a kid. You should show me how to do it, Jotaro.

three guesses whose hair he's describing and all of them rhyme with "blockyoin"

[starmark]

you want me to do your hair for you?

why do you do this and make me Feel

[manuscripture]

I'm up for an experiment.

Style. Not cut. I don't trust your hands with scissors. You get a comb and that's it. I'm curious.

[starmark]

what do you mean you don't trust my hands with scissors

you don't think i'm precise like my star platinum?

[manuscripture]

Not with my hair, I don't.

Nice try.

I have to live with those mistakes.

[starmark]

i'm not going to make mistakes

i like the way you look too much for that

[manuscripture]

Oh, do you?

That's sweet. Dare I say that you are starting to soften up.

[starmark]

i'm not

i've just been thinking lately

seems like one of the things i get wrong most often is not saying things i think, when it's not enough just to think them

[manuscripture]

What have you been thinking about lately?

[starmark]

the last thing i said to people

between people living here and people i left behind back home and people who died back then

sometimes i think, "if i never saw this person again, could i be happy with whatever it was i'd said to them, would that be enough"?

[manuscripture]

It's a valid thing to mull over.

It's thought-provoking. The array of answers is vast. Have you come to any conclusions?

[starmark]

i think the last thing i remember we said to one of our group was jiji telling him to burn the whole fucking place to the ground if we were gone longer than ten minutes

i sort of wish he had

i'm glad i met you, rohan

i hope you don't regret meeting me someday

[manuscripture]

[ oh jesus here we are ]

I didn't regret meeting you before. I don't regret it now. I don't know why you would be worried.

Don't worry about that.

I don't like being here but if I didn't have someone like you around I'd be dead in the water.

Or living with Josuke. A fate worse than death.

We have made a lot of things work. Not just me.

[ you and me but mostly me tbh ]

[starmark]

is it weird for you that you're older than me when you're used to it the other way around?

maybe i should start calling you senpai

[manuscripture]

Weird?? No. It's like nothing ever changed. Except your jawline is sharper and a couple of other things.

Start calling me senpai and we're through.

[starmark]

what couple of other things?

[manuscripture]

Superficial ones. Your clothes and how you speak. Normal things.

I'm going to pack up and come home. I want to draw.

[starmark]

do you need me to come pick you up?

want me to i mean

i know you don't need it

if u wanna action, im down to action

[manuscripture]

I don't need it but you can. It's been a while.

I will be outside the tailor shop.

⇒ action

[starmark]

[The unspoken words there are if you want. Rohan doesn't need a pick-up, but he can if he wants.

As it turns out, he wants.

So, with surprisingly artful swooping grace, he launches himself out of the window and soars through the air over the city, navigating via a bird's-eye view until he comes across the tailor shop — and, indeed, the place where Rohan is waiting.

His landing is smooth without being graceful. He simply drops easily, going from soaring to standing in a matter of seconds — and then there he is.]

...Hi.
