[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.

[the90s]

[Man, this conversation took a depressing turn... He doesn't even want to begin to think about how talking to Jotaro right now could affect his past. He was right to assume that Kakyoin was somehow the moodier between the two.

Also nope, Josuke does not know what that means. By his records everyone here is either alive or was already a ghost. He can tell that it's probably something he shouldn't push from the tone of the text though.]

i'm sure it'll all work out in the end

[AND SINCE THIS IS AWKWARD. He finally gives up he is just going to use Jotaro's hints. No one tell him that his communication advice was ever taken please.]

did you know there are like a ton more video games now than in the 80s btw

[lapidarius]

Really?

[SUBJECT CHANGE: SUCCESSFUL]

That stands to reason, but what kind of games are out in the future?

[the90s]

[Can't even believe this worked so perfectly.]

like whole new consoles and stuff nintendo just came out with one that can do 3d now and it only made mario even cooler you know
i don't have a playstation though my mom wouldn't pay for it
