i don't know

somebody who's wrong about biology i guess

but look at the chest on that guy, man!! he could actually look like that underwater, who knows

[ probably not but he's feeling annoying ]

that's stupid
an aquatic creature would never evolve like that

legs are totally useless in a deep water environment
so is the upright position it's not hydrodynamic at all

where are the fins
why would it need a flexible muscular abdomen
none of these adaptations make any sense

[ Jotaro's random knowledge about everything makes him look really cool and capable as an adult, but kind of ... nerdy, as a teen. No, he's just knowledgeable!! Josuke can't think of his cool ass nephew as 'nerdy'. ]

even as a kid it's like you've got the national geographic channel playing in your head 24/7

maybe he just likes being ripped as hell. if i turned into a merman, i'd wanna keep my abs for sure

who the fuck are you calling a kid

anyway it's about how things work
you don't think about how things work ??

[ Oh shit, did he make Jotaro angry? He's still figuring out how to speak to him. He's used to being fairly respectful, but he thought he could goof off a little now that Jotaro is a teen too.

It doesn't sound like he's angry, at least. He's just a little more crass now. ] if we're being real right now i can't even remember the last time i paid attention in biology

what you said makes sense though, i guess. he's totally gonna sink with no fins. that's what happens to sharks when people, huh, cut their fins off or whatever, right? damn that's rough ...

did your teachers suck or something

anyway you didn't really message me to talk about biology though
did you

some of them suck, some of them were nice. i never thought it was that important? you're probably going to say something about how we need to understand the world to know how to act in it, or something.

[ or some kind of sage advice he can see the adult jotaro giving him. ]

no way man, that'd be boring. i texted you just to uh ... talk to you? [ he's an extrovert. he just likes talking to people. also, maybe he wants to be better friends with jotaro? ]

...wait
do i really say shit like that in the future

yare yare i sound like avdol
what the fuck am i doing

oh
do i talk a lot in the future

[ Seeing younger Jotaro dunk on older Jotaro is pretty funny. Hey, he likes the sage advice! It makes Jotaro look very cool and wise. ]

actually ... no. not very much at all, unless there's important business to discuss. that's why i was kinda hoping that since we're closer in age now, we could ... chat more or hang out more or whatever. we're family after all.

sorry if this comes off weird [ he just wants some family bonding.................. ]

oh

[And maybe in a different time and place, he would brush that off as annoying him. It would be, wouldn't it? Some random person pestering him for his time and attention. Even coming from family —

Family.

...Oh. This is what his mother does, isn't it. It's the same thing. We're family. Once he would've scowled and huffed at his mom's stupid insistence on giving him a goodbye kiss before he left the house.

Now he feels like he'd give pretty much anything just to feel her do it, and know that she's okay and alive and not dead.

Maybe Josuke isn't any different than that. Trying. Wanting to be family because that's just what family does.

Does it really matter, then, if he himself is too early to remember?]

okay
what

[...Uh.]

what do you want to talk about

[ Ah what wholesome introspection that Josuke has no idea just happened. All he knows is that the onus is on him now to strike up some riveting conversation when he really texted Jotaro with no actual goal in mind. ]

uhhhhhhhhhhHHHHHH

shit man, now that you've asked me that, i can't actually think of anything i wanna talk about [ josuke sweetie what do you even want ]

...

so you want to talk but you don't have anything to say

are you sure you're really jiji's kid
i don't think that damn old man has ever been speechless in his life

dude, just because i'm his kid doesn't mean i gotta be anything like him. i actually don't think we're very alike at all.

[ Of course, that's what any kid would say about their more embarrassing parent. Anyone who knows the both of them might beg to differ. ]

you like games?

you mean video games
or some other kind of game

i played a video game once

well, any kind of game

wait, only once????

it was a baseball game

what do you mean only once
why would i need to play it more than once

was it Oh! That's a Baseball? it's pretty retro at this point but i think that came out around your time

because they're video games!! there's so much you're missing out on!! can't believe how depraved your life has been!!!!! though i'm not that surprised either ... [ He can't even imagine adult Jotaro playing a video game. ]

i think you mean deprived
depraved means something different

i mean or maybe you think i'm depraved i don't know

yare yare i bet you and kakyoin got along really well while he was here
he was the best at every video game
at least that's what he said anyway

...actually
there's a girl here who mentioned video games i think
maybe you should meet her

i ... might've typed too quickly there. [ He respects Jotaro too much to call him 'depraved'. ]

we did get along, though i didn't get to meet him more than once before he, y'know ... [ Disappeared. ]

oh! you made a friend already?

it's fine
that keeps happening to me too
it took me a while to figure out the left arrow can erase things
pretty useful

she's not my friend
i just made sure she didn't get smothered in a pile of those screaming creatures

you know the ones that cried if you yelled at them
she got buried so i dug her out

oh yeah! the hugbugs! i found them hanging off my friend okuyasu too. they're pretty cute actually

well, if you think she's cool i'll definitely go talk to her [ he respects you that much, jotaro. ]

yeah those
they all kind of piled on her so i pulled her out of it
that's all

anyway she seems fine

you made any other friends so far?

[ jotaro: i don't make friends
josuke: so what friends have u made ]

why does that matter

are you worried about my chroma or something
