[ 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.................. ]
[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?]
[ 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 ]
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. ]
ya calling me easy or something? [ wow don't hugslutshame him ]
look, of course i want you to be able to use your stand. and i don't want you passing out from low chroma, either. we gotta look out for each other, y'know?

no subject
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?
no subject
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
no subject
well, if you think she's cool i'll definitely go talk to her [ he respects you that much, jotaro. ]
no subject

i moonlaced a little
no subject
you can't bring star platinum out?? i'm right here, dude. if you need more chroma you can always tell me
no subject

like that's normal
what a fucking pain
no subject
if you tell me i'll come
no subject
you're really okay with that
you must be pretty popular around here then
no subject
look, of course i want you to be able to use your stand. and i don't want you passing out from low chroma, either. we gotta look out for each other, y'know?
no subject
just do what you want then
just don't make a big deal out of it
you'll just embarrass yourself
no subject
come to think of it, we never did stuff like this back in my time ...
