i'll give you a clue then

it's not the kind of power that sounds impressive when you first hear it described, but it's remarkably versatile

[lapidarius]

oh no, those are the best kind

[#biased]

something that sounds unimpressive...can she manipulate something? is it tied to a specific object

wheel of fortune was a car, it was probably completely useless without an open enough space to move around so i can't imagine she'd have something like that

[digiorno]

mm, no, it's not tied to an object! it has an effect on other objects

not punching really hard. a different effect

[lapidarius]

does it turn things inside out

that would be unimpressive and also slightly disgusting with the right application

[digiorno]

. . . you know, that's a really interesting question

i think it's most accurate to say that that is not its primary function, but it could probably be used to make turning things inside out much easier

[lapidarius]

okay, now i'm at a loss

i can't think of anything that would sound unimpressive and also make turning things inside out easier

[digiorno]

noriaki this is so disappointing

you're still my second favorite though

spice girl makes things softer

[lapidarius]

hey, come on

i would have been here for hours before i guessed something like that

[digiorno]

excuses, excuses.........

also she talks

[lapidarius]

WHY DID YOU NOT TELL ME THAT FIRST THAT'S AMAZING

[digiorno]

i told you TRISH was amazing

surely you should have guessed

[lapidarius]

how do trish and mista have ones that actually talk i'm almost jealous

[digiorno]

becaaaaaause

i don't know

because they love me probably and i am also amazing

[lapidarius]

yes of course, this goes without saying

i'm just stunned that you attracted two people with independently talking stands and i'd managed to never run into one until i met mista

...star doesn't quite count. close, but not quite.

[digiorno]

star communicates more creatively

i love star

another possible reason is that i'm just lucky and blessed

besides they both have to talk to balance out gold experience since he doesn't talk

[lapidarius]

oh, star's my second favorite. i always appreciate 'creatively'.

[Three guesses which was his favorite. Kakyoin thought for a moment, twisting the chain of his pocketwatch around his finger.]

I really like that--when Stands match each other that way. Hierophant's never said a word or made a sound once in our entire life, so meeting the near-complete opposite like Star was kind of surprising.

There's probably something meaningful to be said about that, don't you think so? Having people and Stands that balance each other so well, I mean.

[digiorno]

mmhm, jotaro talks about that a lot

about how your hierophant and his star platinum are perfect for each other

and about how much he likes it that sometimes you just know what he's thinking without him having to say anything

i like that too, it can be a real relief

[lapidarius]

Does he? That's not surprising, I'd bet he knows how important that is to me. It's the most important and significant thing about both of us.

I've never been very good with people. Learning to read Jotaro just came naturally; I've never had that happen before. I want to call it just an extension of thinking strategically; basic observational skills, something like that. Obviously that isn't all it is--either way, I think I've managed to improve just a little.

I told him a while ago that I needed him the same way I need Hierophant. I don't think we're really 'ourselves' without each other, not anymore.

[digiorno]

see and it was the opposite for me

i've always been very good at reading people but i've never met someone good at reading me before all of this

it was very unsettling

that last thing is a thing for me too though

[lapidarius]

It's surreal, isn't it? I never thought it was possible to just be understood by someone, least of all like that.

If it's any consolation, both of you are just as good at reading me the same way.

[digiorno]

what really?????

[lapidarius]

Of course. Was there ever any doubt?

[digiorno]

i know i am perfect kakyoin but i am not jotaro

[lapidarius]

Like you said, you're good at reading people. I really don't think I'm as hard to figure out as he is, at least.

[digiorno]

he's not hard to figure out either

he's easier than you
