You don't think it's warm ou-

[for fuck's sake]

If we have to fight the sun again, I'm going to be pissed.

What--that really happened, ask Jotaro!

I think I'm perfectly justified in being angry if it's screwing with me. Again.

No, that's absolutely ridiculous.

I can't reach that far. Hierophant has a better chance of that.

My Hierophant doesn't punch things, that's Star Platinum's job.

[...is he being so serious he's looped into sarcasm]

[probably]


We'd just shoot it.

I am the picture of calm. I don't just go flying off the handle at the drop of a hat.

Okay, okay. Like I said, I have something for you. And I want you to have it, but at the same time I'm not sure if it's overstepping some line I'm not completely aware of. So what I'm getting that is I'm going to give you something, and if you want to punch me for getting involved in something that's none of my business, I won't stop you.

...If you do, just give me a chance to take my glasses off first.
lapidarius: (i walked on with drenched shoulders)

[personal profile] lapidarius 2016-01-14 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Without hesitating much more than that, he took an envelope out of his pocket and held it out. Inside was a photograph of a teenage Joseph Joestar, as much a grinning smartass as ever.]

[...Kakyoin calmly took off his glasses, just in case.]
lapidarius: (when I look to the west)

[personal profile] lapidarius 2016-01-14 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
...When I first got here, I was on my own. I know I've said that before.

[He knew it wouldn't make sense on its own, and knew he was taking a risk. Caesar could easily hate him for this, and he might even be right to. But Kakyoin didn't back down, arms held at his sides and a steady look on his face.]

But not long after that, I got back a photograph all of us took together. I didn't really tell anyone, but I was clinging to that thing like it was my last goddamn lifeline to when we were all alive and together. ...I mean, I guess it was. So I just...thought it would be worth having, until he got here.

Don't mistake this for me feeling sorry for you. You're enough like me that I know you would beat the living hell out of anyone that did that, and I don't really care to take pity on people like I'm better than them or something stupid like that.

...You can still punch me for it if you want to. If I crossed some kind of line here. I won't complain, and I won't tell anyone what happened if they ask. I'll take what I deserve and keep my damn mouth shut from now on.
lapidarius: <user name="lintufriikki" site="tumblr.com"> (start bending me; it's never enough)

[personal profile] lapidarius 2016-01-14 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
...

[Kakyoin didn't answer, of course. He just stayed exactly where he was, listening in silence.]
lapidarius: (cause the world might do me in)

[personal profile] lapidarius 2016-01-14 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
...

[Of course it was a lie. At this point, Kakyoin felt like he was just listening to himself outright. Did he want Jotaro and the others to have been able to just move on with their lives? Obviously. If they hadn't--if even one of them had stayed hung up on the memory of a child who died in Cairo (and he knew damn well who would be hung up on it) then what would have been the point?]

[But he was selfish, and he'd desperately wanted at least one person there with him. Because things were easier with him nearby. Kakyoin had always seen himself and Hierophant as two halves of one whole. He'd never known there was a third piece to fit in the empty and lonely space that had always eaten him alive, and having been without that piece was torture.]

[So he expected it was possible that he understood Caesar's problem. More than he wanted to let on.]


...You think he'd forget? [Kakyoin's voice was strained, but he kept his expression controlled and even for now.] Even if he keeps living like he should, with the rest of his family...he won't forget.

[He wasn't sure which Jojo he was talking about anymore. Wasn't even sure there was a difference, in this case.]

You're right. It's selfish and stupid to want anyone to show up here, but do you think he wouldn't want to see you again regardless of that? If this is the only chance we'll ever have to keep living, if we can't get the hell out of here, wouldn't the two of you both do anything for even just ten more minutes together?

I won't say 'don't lie to me', Caesar. But don't look at me and act like he'll just fucking forget, like we died for nothing and don't matter.
