no i mean like if he helps you jump like i don't know fifty feet in the air what's to stop you from breaking your feet once you land or does he do the landing too
shit jotaro you gotta show me that sometime soon i didn't know you could do that or well i guess i knew the fist thing i just didn't think you could do it with your feet can you do it with your eyes too like read a book across a room or something
[So much of the fight between Jotaro and Dio was invisible to the outside eye, the two men stuttering and jerking too fast to follow. But he can understand the fight a little better now-- why they had stayed suspended in the air for so long, why they'd seemed as if they were practically flying.]
maybe he just adapts like he couldnt ever do it until you needed him to so he figured out a way
impossible means nothing, right? that's what you told me
i know you did with jolie and that was pretty casual, so
[It feels strange, asking after it. Not that he can't; he knows he can ask Jotaro anything, because the opposite is true. But there's being able to ask someone something and knowing the right time to bring it up.]
actually i think the first time i used it was on accident
sometimes it happens if i get startled, but that's because it's like...star feels my startled and takes that as a cue to make everything stop so i have time to figure it out, you know
and it tires me out to do it, i can't just keep using it and using it or anything
but i decided a while back that i wanted to try to...make it mine, i guess
to not be afraid of using it
but to use it in the way that i think is right
so when i do it's usually to try to prevent something, like saving you the pain of dealing with jolie yanking on your earrings or picking someone up and carrying them out of the way of something that's falling
anyway like i said it's not just me bruno knows a TON about boats so the uss codfather is going to be a work of art which by the way i really mean a TON he had a whole little model of what we were going to build and everything its pretty cool he's pretty cool
i mean not yet probably i will i mean we're not gonna just sit in silence while we make it i already know some shitty things to say but nothing real last time we talked about the ocean you'd be proud he knows almost as much as you
no subject
i wonder if i could just jump to the top of the pyramid
maybe i could carry you guys and just jump it
no subject
not even on the pyramids just
in general
no subject
my feet touch the ground???
no subject
what's to stop you from breaking your feet once you land
or does he do the landing too
no subject
no he does the landing too
it's pretty cool it's like i just summon him in my feet so he takes all of the shock and none of it gets to me
kind of like when i summon his fists over mine so i can punch shit
no subject
or well i guess i knew the fist thing i just didn't think you could do it with your feet
can you do it with your eyes too
like read a book across a room or something
no subject
back home
you know that night i just kind of
sometimes it seems like star is always able to do what i need him to do
what i ask him to do
no matter what
no subject

impossible means nothing, right? that's what you told me
no subject
that's what it is
you know when people ask me what star platinum's power is i don't tell them about...you know
i tell them it's self-preservation
that he's independent the way he is because his power is to protect me even if i'm not outright telling him to do it
so if you think about it that's not really a lie
and it might be how he developed time stop anyway
no subject
but that's a good way to put it
hey
can i ask you something about time stop
or we can go back to fucking around
no subject
you can ask me anything you want
no subject
i know you did with jolie and that was pretty casual, so

so when i do it's usually to try to prevent something, like saving you the pain of dealing with jolie yanking on your earrings or picking someone up and carrying them out of the way of something that's falling
and i try to ask beforehand if i can help it
no subject
i didn't know it was that exhausting for you
[A long pause, and then:]
well if you want you can use that around me sometime
itd be interesting to experience when its not
you know
or getting my ears half tugged off
no subject
and then i think i can do three probably but
i mean i'd probably be down for the count after it so it's not really a good strategy long-term
but if like a bomb were going off and i needed fifteen seconds to carry a bunch of people to safety in stopped time i think i could probably do that
i mean and then collapse but
no subject
no subject
but you're right about being safe thanks to me
no subject
no subject
it's like you don't think i have any carpentry skills at all
no subject
[But OH RIGHT, carpentry reminds him:]
hey did i tell you
youre not the only one with a building project
bruno and i are going to build a BOAT
no subject
that's really cool actually
notice how i didn't just say OH WOW THAT SHIT'S GONNA SINK right off the bat
unlike SOME PEOPLE
1/2
what a champion friend
believing the minimal amount in me
no subject
bruno knows a TON about boats so
the uss codfather is going to be a work of art
which by the way i really mean a TON he had a whole little model of what we were going to build and everything
its pretty cool
he's pretty cool
no subject
sometimes he's way too serious for his own good but i bet hanging out with you would help him lighten up and shit
...
so are you learning italian
no subject
not yet
probably i will i mean we're not gonna just sit in silence while we make it
i already know some shitty things to say but nothing real
last time we talked about the ocean you'd be proud
