...

What kind of beat the hell out of him.

[lapidarius]

[...How to put this without completely breaking Jotaro's brain with very well-founded suspicions.]

The kind where he probably won't die, but he sure as hell won't be happy.

[starmark]

Is it the way I would beat the hell out of you.

[lapidarius]

I am not going to confirm or deny that, because Caesar is not someone I want punching me in the face for assuming things.

[beat]

Yes. Yes, it is exactly that way.

[starmark]

He doesn't hit that hard.

[JOTARO THAT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT THE POINT]

I thought so. He's pretty messed up on Jiji.

[lapidarius]

Yeah.

I kind of recognized that sort of messed up.

[starmark]

I know. You're a lot alike.

...No offense.

[SPOILERS: HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT EVEN HE IS IMPLYING HERE]

[lapidarius]

[...jotaro.]

No, I noticed that too. Probably a little too similar.

[starmark]

He reminds me of me sometimes, too.

The way he fights. I used to fight like that.

[lapidarius]

Yeah, I've seen him fight.

[...firsthand]

This might get a little difficult even without Caesar breaking every bone in his body.

[starmark]

OK well

i told him who i am

[lapidarius]

I'm stuck at the 'fake charming until I figure out what to do next' stage.

If you have any advice for that, I'd love to hear it.

[starmark]

i hate this so much

why the fuck are we so bad at this, every time one of them comes here we fuck it up

i'm saying we but i mostly mean me

[lapidarius]

It's not our fault the city can't pick a single coherent timeline! Even I don't make plans for this time travel bullshit!

[Breathe, Kakyoin.]

We'll figure it out. It can't go half as badly as things almost did with Jonathan.

[starmark]

...shit did anybody tell jonathan

whoops

[lapidarius]

[...]

SHIT, DID ANYONE TELL YOUR MOTHER

[starmark]

fuck

[lapidarius]

i take it back

we already fucked it up

i can not believe we fucked it up this fast.

[starmark]

I CAN

IT INVOLVES JIJI

EVERYTHING GETS FUCKED UP THIS FAST WHEN IT INVOLVES JIJI

[lapidarius]

[you know what you're absolutely right]

[joseph joestar is an alignment entirely to himself and well off the chart]

[chaotic jojo]

You should handle talking to your mother. I'll keep him here a little longer even if I have to tie him to the chair and hang him from the ceiling.

And I'll try to make sure Caesar doesn't brutally murder him on the spot.

[starmark]

look he sort of trusts me right now i think

i'm pretty sure he believed me when i told him about who i am

just

he's really confused right now and all this stupid shit isn't going to help things any

[lapidarius]

Obviously. Which is why right now I'm holding a normal conversation with him. But stupid shit is going to happen sooner or later.

Caesar knows how to deal with him at this age. I'll trust him to handle this, so we should worry about everyone else. Right now I don't see any other viable option.

[starmark]

So Caesar handles Jiji, and we handle Caesar?

...and Mom and Nanna and Jonathan and he's only nineteen, he hasn't even come close to fucking up the entire thing with Josuke yet, jesus.

[lapidarius]

I said it was a viable option, not an ideal one. It won't be easy.

Take a deep breath--we'll manage. We always do.

[starmark]

Maybe we should just...see how this goes.

Don't get involved too early, let everyone else do their shit, and just pick it up once all the chips have fallen.
