[. . . ?????????????]

Good.

[Wait. Conversation. With humans. Can he do this? Maybe.]

I didn't help much. I didn't know very much that you liked.

[starmark]

You told him I like dolphins?

[mylegacy]

The ocean. He decided on the dolphins himself. See, it really was mostly him. He's

[actually kind of thoughtful sometimes when his foot isn't shoved all the way down his throat no that's too close to saying something nice try again]

used to giving people things, I suppose, although probably more used to receiving them.

[Literally why do you ever talk to people, Caesar? Stop trying.]

[starmark]

What do I put in it?

It's supposed to be for holding things, right?

[mylegacy]

I don't know. I think so. I'm not an expert in ceramics, Jotaro. Miniature dolphins?

[starmark]

Oh.

...

I was going to put condoms in it but I guess miniature dolphins would work too.

i meant 2 say done. done!

[mylegacy]

You should probably ask your grandfather's advice in the condoms versus dolphins debate. I'm sure he's the expert.

[starmark]

Jonathan already talked to me about condoms.

I already know more than I ever wanted to about what Victorian people put on their dicks.

[mylegacy]

Not the grandfather I was referring to. Surely you could stand to listen to some of Jojo's wisdom on the subject.

[starmark]

I know who you meant.

That's not a subject I'm ever going to talk to Jiji about.

[mylegacy]

Whyever not.

[ w h y e v e r n o t ]

[starmark]

Because I really don't want to hear about what's been on my grandfather's dick.

[mylegacy]

Nothing.

[WOW]

Also because he'd somehow trick you into doing something embarrassing, probably. And/or contracting something fatal.

I really don't understand why you're consulting me on your condom choices if you won't consult him, that's my point.

[starmark]

Yet.

[OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH — wait no he has a point, he wouldn't exist in the first place if — you know what this narration is going places.]

I just wanted to talk about the pot. I don't know how the conversation ended up like this.

[mylegacy]

Because you said you were going to put condoms in it. You said that.

[starmark]

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU PUT IN SOMETHING LIKE THAT

[mylegacy]

Whatever you want. Whatever you have a lot of and need to store in a location. If you have a need for condom storage, fine. Although that really does increase the chances of you accidentally knocking it onto the floor and breaking it.

[starmark]

...

I guess I could put sea glass in it. When I start collecting it again, after the weather warms up.

...

Sorry. Thank you for helping with my birthday present. I like it.

[mylegacy]

[.................. wait. Shit. He fucked up somehow, didn't he. He did something Incorrect and now Jotaro is turtling for some unknown and inexplicable reason and he has absolutely no idea how to fix it because he doesn't know what it is so maybe he should]

[just]

[course correct . . .]

I'm glad you like it.

[Okay, all right, solid start, keep it up.]

I wanted to help more but I'm glad it was [????????????] made you happy.

[KEEP GOING . . .]

You collect sea glass?

[THE JUDGES AWARD IT A 6.5, NOT THE BEST SHOWING BUT CONSIDERABLY LESS OF A FUCKFEST THAN IT COULD HAVE BEEN. AND THE CROWD GOES WILD!]

[starmark]

[Sea Glass™: the new Otters™, as conversational Hail Marys go.]

Yeah. Because of the color. The prolonged exposure to the water and its pH polishes it and gives it a kind of frosted quality, but it's translucent. If you but it near light, a glow comes through.

Like stained glass, but softer. It takes decades, and the glass comes from things like bottles and other glass objects that were lost overboard at sea, or in shipwrecks. Beer bottles. Vases, stuff like that.

Sunset colors are the hardest to find. Reds, oranges, yellows. Purple, because there aren't many things made of purple glass in general. The most common are white, green, and brown. Industrial bottles, clear glass.

I like the turquoise best.

[mylegacy]

I didn't know any of that.

[It's even, like. 10% interesting, and he can easily fake the other 90%.]

Is turquoise hard to find? Since it's green, but also blue.
