I thought 'punk' was the way you did things?

[ He makes his jab, triumphantly coiling up to sit up a little higher. Haha, good one. ]

I didn't think you would either. They were meant to be an ultimately failed experiment. I thought you would find the idea of them to be too macabre for your tastes. My rationale was that scales on scales makes for something smoother. Plus, it insulates. Not that you need it.

[ A beat. ]

Thank you for... Liking them.

[ See Rohan, this is how we play nice with others. Please and Thank You are the magic words. He plays it off with a wave of his hand. ]

You're welcome. If you go back in my room, there is another box with a plainer pair of pants and a shirt like the one you usually wear with the back more neatly cut out to accommodate your wings. You can go fetch those now if you want to wear something less silly.

I would have gotten more done but I was busy getting Lorna acclimated to the shop.

[ He doesn't really keep Jotaro in the know about his roster. Maybe he should. Only one of them is actually interesting to deal with. ]

More than an employee. She's my apprentice. I'm trying to make her into someone who can manage the shop should I ever need to take long absences. She has some experience and wants to learn more about the trade.

[ Also-- ]

She was looking for a job on the network about a month ago before Vietnam disappeared. I had pointed her in that direction and now I feel sort of obligated to follow through. A quiet little thing who looks like she stepped out of a Western history book. She's never seen a painting in her entire life before setting foot in the shop.

She's positively enamored with me.

She will be working after hours mostly. A little while before you usually show up. You might run into her now and then.

I would like you two to meet if she is going to be my work duckling until further notice. [ Snakebutt becomes useful again, pulling up his sketch diary and passing it to Rohan's hand. He's gotten VERY GOOD at making peace with it. He flips a few pages. ]

You might like her. She's very sweet and out of the way. [ He turns it outward. On that page is literally what he described-- A young lady who looks like she could have been one of the people walking off of the Mayflower. Soft eyes, twisty horns sprouting from her forehead. Like a photograph, she is gazing around the blank space of the page at something he never drew around her with a clawed hand to her lips and her skirts kicking up in a twirl. ]

Polite too. She could teach you something. [ HE'S TEASING. ]

I never did tell you that our landlord is from early 1830's Paris, did I. [ That probably has not come up in conversation. ]

I think people can come from just about anywhere around here. I spoke to a smartass who can put music AND pictures in his cell phone. I would have thought that Lorna was from around here as a native rather than someone who was pulled up by the Fog God.

Would you believe she knows how to work a loom? I will never have to buy cloth ever again!

[ What the Hell is a loom. ]

[ EXPLOITING HER REALLY

what do you take him for

a con??? ]


She didn't bat an eye at me. I don't see why she would bat one at you.

And give me a break: I wouldn't exploit my employees. Especially not the ones who actually want to do things instead of grab my money.

[ Okay, but. ]

Are you implying that I am one of those people?

[ Hear that knocking, Jotaro? That's a nail being driven into your coffin. ]

[ Rohan taps a finger to his cheek. ]

All the more reason for her to like you. I'm already very fond of her. She reminds me of someone from home.

[ Except he can't place WHO exactly. ]

I plan on keeping an eye on her. I can appreciate anyone who wants to learn something. I should teach you how to sew, Jotaro.

I think so. I have her network numbers here... [ He plucks the book up again and scribbles on an empty scrap: 098.47.164.55. ]

Here you go.

[ If Jotaro were any other person, he would have scooted away. He can keep fronting that it's a temperature thing but they are literally next to the window. ]

Your hands are too big anyway. They'll rip right through whatever I hand you. I guess I can stay as the person who handles any clothing you destroy.

Yes, but I want to do it.

[ His nose turns up in mock offense. ]

You... Are very attached to your Stand, aren't you?

[ Scares him.

That's not something he ever expected to hear. Jotaro? Scared? ]


I have not had Heaven's Door long enough to become so close to it. It feels odd when I hear someone talking about their Stand like it's a person.

So it's--... [ Hrm. ] He is just like you?

I never thought I would hear you say that you are scared of anything.

[ What's up I'm Jotaro Kujo and I shot myself in the head once. ]

... You have got to be kidding.

I haven't seen much of Star Platinum save for the small handful of times we had spoken about it. I haven't been aware of just how independently sentient it seems.

I know that they are meant to reflect their Users in some way, but... [ Trailing off has him shifting a little and placing his fingers to his bottom lip thoughtfully. ] I'm not sure I can articulate what I mean exactly.
