[it's okay he has no idea what that means in the usual context anyway]
But you can't push the topic, either. You need to understand that--not everyone is comfortable being as forward about their Stand as I am. He might not want to volunteer that information now or even in the near future, and if that's the case you need to respect that.
i'm not pushing it! he'll come to me on his own terms, when he realizes that i'm right and he's decided to help me out. i get that people have different comfort levels, that's not unheard of
You really shouldn't assume he will. But if that's what you're going to do regardless, all I'm going to ask is that you not pressure him. Be patient, and don't talk to him like information on Purple Haze is the only thing you're engaging with him for.
i'm as patient as patient can be. and, besides, he seems to have a lot of stories to tell that aren't stand-related, and that's always fun! even though he is a bit rude sometimes

No, I wasn't. Sorry, I know it's difficult to communicate tone like this.
My current status as well as the way I ended up like this is all a difficult subject to handle. I don't want it treated lightly, and I'd just rather not think of myself as 'a ghost' or 'someone that's already dead'. That kind of implies there isn't much point in anything.
ghosts have good intentions but since they're no longer bound to the mortal coil they can go about fulfilling those intentions any way they please. chaotic good/neutral. you're more of a true neutral i think
anyways yes it's the game with the dice but there's a lot of character creation and important decision-making. it's an important cultural game for a lot of reasons. for instance, i like it, which makes it important.

I've never played it before, just heard a little in passing. Honestly, I think I'd prefer video games.
