It's a combat training school, run by a friend of mine. [...josuke you aren't subtle. then again, he has shit he wants to know too.]

We met back at home, in Tokyo. I transferred into the same school as him, and we got to know each other after we realized we were both Stand users.

[none of this is a lie.]

[the90s]

[The name of the game isn't subtle today. He just wants to know who the heck this is and he wasn't going to go behind his back to figure it out. Because that didn't even occur to him.]

huh
that's a lot like me and okuyasu that's kind of cool


did you guys fight?

[He knows how Stand meetings work. He met all his friends by fighting them and he's going to assume the same.]

[lapidarius]

You could say that, yes.

[thanks, dio]

[the90s]

it's yes or no man
i fought with okuyasu when we first met too you know but i realized pretty quickly that wasn't what i should be focusing on since he's a good guy and all

what did you fight over?

[lapidarius]

Believe me, you don't want the answer to that question.

We fought, I lost, we ended up on pretty good terms. Let's leave it at that.

[the90s]

i wouldn't have asked if i didn't want to know the answer

i fought with mr jotaro when we met too even when he knew i wasn't a threat
he talked shit about my hair though so that was his fault in the end

what im saying is that most meetings between stand users end up pretty bad so it's not like that big of a secret yeah?

[lapidarius]

[for christ's sake, josuke.]

I was mind controlled by an immortal vampire and tried to kill him.

Happy now?

[the90s]

[this teenager has no sense of boundaries. sorry for your lots, kakyoin.]

so you ARE from the dio thing
i was pretty sure but just making sure

so you must have been one of the guys that traveled with him to egypt

[lapidarius]

[you're gonna get elbowed in the face, kid]

You could have just asked that outright.

Yes, I went with him to Cairo. Why?

[the90s]

i didn't know if you met him before or after all that okay
plus i don't know much about it so i don't want to get any of the facts wrong and all

like i said i'm just trying to get to know you since mr jotaro wasn't big on talking about the past and all
you could ask me questions too if you wanted

[lapidarius]

[GOSH I WONDER WHY]

We both came to this city straight from Egypt, as far as I know.

I take it you probably know him fairly well. What's he been doing in Morioh, exactly?

[the90s]

that kind of sucks you travel around the world for like months and then when it's finally over you can't even get back to japan for like a day before this

guess so he was pretty busy and i was still going to school though
he was doing work for spw that's pretty top secret i don't know if i can share it even if you're a stand user they're the best kept secret in the universe you know
and studying the bay sealife or whatever

[lapidarius]

I know about the Speedwagon Foundation already. What kind of trouble's he getting into with them?

[...he at least knows the joestar blood attracts chaos.]

[the90s]

whoa whoa
they're the best last and only line of defense against rogue stand users and you know about it


are you a secret agent too?
didn't know they started all the way back in the 80s

[this was supposed to be a more serious gathering of info.]

[lapidarius]

I'm eighteen, I don't work for them. They just helped us get to Egypt.

[the90s]

and i'm 16 that didn't stop them

okay, so you were just a normal student on a mission to hunt a vampire
that's pretty interesting too i guess

[lapidarius]

Effectively, yes. As normal as Stand users get.

I notice you didn't answer me. What's he doing with the foundation that far in the future?

[WHAT IS HE UP TO, JOSUKE.]

[the90s]

[he's assuming that jotaro shares everything he learned with kakyoin already so he hopes he doesn't go too off script. it's a good thing he mostly told the truth.]

just like i said man last line of defense
he was hunting criminals who use stands

it was just shit luck that we had so many in my town you know cause like we really did not need that much grief

[lapidarius]

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope things are looking a little better over there now.

[because it sounds goddamn bonkers]

[the90s]

we managed to clean everything up before this went down so it's good
it's why i was so surprised to see mr. jotaro again in the first place you know

like dude you just left why are you randomly in this crazy place too? except it turns out he's from the past and all

[lapidarius]

I think we were pretty shocked to see each other here, too. I got here a couple of months before he did, but from his perspective it had barely even been a day since we last saw each other.

[the90s]

that's really... i don't know whether that's a nice thing or not
nothing should mess around with time this much

[lapidarius]

I can't really disagree with that--you're right, time shouldn't be bending backwards over itself like this. But it's difficult for me to call it inherently bad for a few different reasons.

[the90s]

yeah you guys seem really relaxed about it so i haven't thought too much about it but i guess there's nothing we can really do now since it's so far after the fact
what would those reasons be?

[lapidarius]

I think if this was going to have consequences on a larger scale of the timeline, we'd have been able to tell by now. It's probably something we'll need to worry about when we get back home.

Some of the people here don't have a lot left to go back to, you know what I mean? Timelines be damned, it's a second chance for a lot of people that wouldn't have had one otherwise.
