[Luckily, it wasn't a very far walk to find a tree, with the river running so relatively close by to where the Emporium had turned up; following a few minutes of walking and an equal amount of casual bickering, our heroes eventually came upon an assortment of trees, any of which would likely suffice for their purposes.]
[It wasn't a particularly artful bout of lumberjacking, but it did the trick; with an audible and enthusiastic ORAORAORAORAORA, Star Platinum gladly took its user's silent direction and launched itself at the tree, starting out with a brutal sweeping kick to weaken the tree near its base, and then hammering a tornado of punches against it until it cracked loudly and began to wobble.]
Make sure you're clear, Kakyoin.
[And, with one final push, Star Platinum felled the tree. \o/]
I'm fine. [Hierophant responded next, unraveling from around Kakyoin's arms to catch the tree before it hit the ground.]
...How much of it do you really think we'll need? Like I said before, there's no way we'd get the whole thing through the front door even if that much was necessary.
[he's not saying 'i'm about to snap this tree in half' but he's not not saying it either]
Easy enough. You might want to step back just a little.
[As much as Hierophant lacked in outright power, it really wasn't hard to cause serious damage when applied correctly. The right amount of pressure applied the right way could break quite a lot of things, up to and including the admittedly inelegant splintering of a tree trunk to break off the amount indicated.]
[am i cool did you see that i'm totally cool right]
[With a nod, he shifted back a little, bringing Star Platinum in front of him to help act as a shield while he watched Kakyoin go to town on the tree.
...
And though he didn't receive outright praise in exchange for his efforts, he did earn himself a low and presumably approving whistle from Jotaro's direction once it was done.]

Look for a maple tree, that's probably easiest.

I'd assume we can just get away with a small one--I can tell you right now that I don't think we'll have to drag in an entire tree.

That much, I guess.
