Who is this and why the hell are you waking me up.

[sunsetsitter]

Izabel, who else would ask you about ghosts during the only time she's awake.

[starmark]

I don't hassle your ass while YOU'RE sleep.

Who've you been talking to about ghosts?

[sunsetsitter]

That's because I don't have one, genius.

[Also because she didn't feel like being considerate.]

Kakyoin. [And then, after a pause.] I didn't tell him. Not my place.

[starmark]

You're damn right it isn't, because you're wrong.

[Izabel, you may have completely unintentionally hit upon a key to the Thing Jotaro Forgot This Event™, kudos to you for ferreting it out with such speed.]

I never said anything like that.

[sunsetsitter]

[She'll eventually realize he's not sassin' her...probably...]

I'm not an idiot. You might not have come out and said it but I know you've seen them.

[starmark]

What the hell are you talking about.

[sunsetsitter]

GHOSTS YOU DINGUS WAKE UP

[starmark]

I AM AWAKE THANKS TO YOU

WHEN THE HELL DID I EVER SAY ANYTHING ABOUT GHOSTS

[sunsetsitter]

THEN ACT LIKE IT

WHEN YOU CALLED ME PINK

[starmark]

I DON'T REMEMB OH SHIT




shit

ok you need to tell me exactly what i said right now its important

[sunsetsitter]

[She types OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE, deletes it, then takes a deep breath. Alright. Important. Right.]

I asked if you were surprised about me being a ghost or me being pink. You said the ghosts you'd seen hadn't been pink.

And it wasn't about the ones here so don't even try to tell me it was.

[starmark]

ok listen like i said this is really important

i dont remember seeing a ghost. ever.

im not saying im doubting you im saying this is JUST THAT DAMN IMPORTANT so dont be a shit about it ok

are you absolutely without a doubt SURE that's what i meant.

because if you say yes then i need to figure out where i saw one.

[sunsetsitter]

...I can't be 100% sure.

[She'll concede to that because of the whole not being a shit about it.]

But it was something in how you said it. I knew.

[starmark]

ok did i say anything else

where i was who it was i saw anything

i know i probably didnt because im a hardass but if you can remember anything i need to know

[sunsetsitter]

I didn't ask.

[Congratulations, Jotaro, it wasn't entirely your fault.]

Kakyoin and Bruno said they'd never talked to a ghost before though if that helps.

[starmark]

ok im gonna get real quiet for a couple minutes but im still here just hang on im figuring this out

[And indeed, it does in fact take him a few minutes, but the fact that Kakyoin didn't see anything helps to narrow it down a little, because there were very few periods when he wasn't with Kakyoin leading up to the point when they'd split up for good, and then he'd put Dio in the sun and...

...

Hmmmmm.]

OK. I can't remember it. And there's probably nobody here who can help me figure it out, shit.

[sunsetsitter]

[...Oh. It was nice of him to let her know that. She almost feels bad about the capslock now.]

Do you want to try talking it out with me? I know I don't know much about your planet except some Stand and mafia stuff but maybe it would help?

[starmark]

I don't think so. How can I possibly know whether or not I've forgotten something? I can't exactly think back and try to remember what I might've forgotten.

[sunsetsitter]

Yeah. I guess so.

[...]

So you don't know if you know anybody that died? Not that that's a requirement for seeing ghosts, it's just another thing I'm assuming.

[starmark]

That's a really fucked up question.

If I saw a ghost, then it stands to reason that I saw somebody die, right? But I don't remember anyone dying. So what that question is saying is, someone who I think is perfectly fine right now might actually be dead, and I don't know it because I forgot.

I don't want to sit here thinking about who I might've seen die, when as far as I know everyone I can think of is fine.

[sunsetsitter]

Not necessarily. My boss didn't know me before I died and didn't see me die. Maybe it's like that for you, too.

[...Ughhh. She doesn't know what she's supposed to be going around knowing or not. Maybe she'd ask Bruno.]

What would you rather sit here thinking about?

[She probably wouldn't have an easy time sleeping after all this Everything happening if it were her, after all.]

[starmark]

I don't know.

...Why were you calling, before we got sidetracked with all this shit?

[sunsetsitter]

Um

to yell at you about how you should talk to people close to you when things are important. Maybe pressure you into letting me meet your Stand.

[starmark]

...

Who the fuck have you been talking to.
