it’s better this way, trust me
If we leave a large enough gap in time my dad’s gonna freak out in that special way he does

Besides it’s not like it’s anything we need to get fancied up for
btw I’m outside, I’m the girl on the motorcycle with green hair

Ah, yes. I see you. You're very. Visible.

[ Well shit. He'd have liked to be able to- how the fuck do you prepare for seeing your closest friend's daughter from the future who never knew you because you don't exist anymore? He doesn't even know which tense to word that question in. It would have been nice to be able to- fuck. Rehearse? Stand in front of the mirror trying to figure out the appropriate way to say 'Hi, I don't know if it's too presumptuous to think that I should probably have been a part of your life.'?

It is too presumptuous. Jotaro - the future one - has a life that he has no place in. She probably didn't even know he existed before she came here and that's for the best. ]

It's good to meet you. [ He extends a hand, when he comes out to meet Jolyne. Pleasant. Formal. Defensive. ] Noriaki Kakyoin. I'm a friend of your father's.

[ Which she already knew but. What the fuck else is he meant to say? ]

[ as far as jolyne was concerned it wasn’t too presumptuous to be thinking this way at all, she would hope that if things worked out differently he would be there, everyone would be there.

Jolyne isn’t completely sure how to handle the situation either, she’s just winging it figuring that it’s best to handle things sooner than later. so when he makes his way over and holds out his hand in greeting she forgoes that’s route and just hugs onto him, it’s the regular way she’s been greeting jotaro anymore and it felt it should be the same for kakyoin ]

It’s nice to finally get to meet you...

[ pulling away at arms length she looks up at him ]

I’m sorry if that was a little forward... I just... I probably know more about you than my dad realizes, so I felt like this was the better way to greet you.

[ Ah. Hmm. This was unexpected. He raises his arms in a confused alien counter-hug but doesn't quite think to bring them inward until she's already moved back again. Okay. Jotaro's daughter, significantly more huggy than her father. ]

It's- perfectly fine.

[ It feels like he's trying to think his way out of a pool of molasses. ]

I'm afraid he hasn't told me much about you. I think he's trying to-

[ ...he interrupts himself, falling quiet for a minute, and then allowing the one thought that shoved its way out of the sticky, uncomfortable, unsanitary sugary mess to burst out of him because what the fuck else is he going to say. ]

-did he show you how to do the cigarette trick?

... you really are close, that’s one of the first things he asked me too.

[ she couldn’t help but breathe out a laugh at this familiar line of questioning, moving back closer to the bike now she picks up the helmet and holds it out to kakyoin ]

It’s okay though, I know this is a lot all of a sudden... and I know he’s not very good at talking about anything that might be too difficult for others to handle. It’s why I didn’t want him interfering since it could harsh the vibe.

The arcade is a nice neutral ground for us to enjoy and get chill enough to get to know each other— by the way, how are you doing with prismal crossing?

I'm going to pluck that fucking owl and throw him into his own piranha tank before putting his bow tie and his feathers onto the velociraptor skeleton, is how I'm doing with it. He has disrespected grasshoppers for the last time.

[ Wait, he was trying to be respectable. ]

-and I bought a hat that looks like a frog.

[ Nailed it. He takes the helmet and stares at it for a moment. ]

...shouldn't you be wearing this?

[ jolyne couldn't help but laugh over the outburst, giving a nod out of complete understanding ]

Yeah, that guy has consistently been a wimp about insects throughout the franchise. Have you tried standing in front of the museum and unleashing a bug into it? It's petty, but a great way to let out some steam.

Personally I'm a bigger fan of his sister, she at least gives you recipes to make cool ass shit.

But the frog hat is cool, I like wearing the imp outfit with a butterfly backpack. It makes everything feel that much more dynamic.

[ looking down at the helmet in kakyoin's hand she shakes her head before beaming proudly at him ]

Nah, I'm good, Stone Free and I have really great luck when it comes to handling surprises on the road. Besides, it really messes with my hair.

I used the catapult to launch a flea onto him. He closed the museum for a day. It was a disaster.

[ He looks down at the helmet, then up at Jolyne. Then, with a frown. ]

If you're not going to ride safely, you don't get to go to the arcade.

[ Kakyoin she's older than you are. You can't 'You're not going out dressed like that, young lady' her. ]

Ayye that's some good terrorism there, just wait until you complete the bug collection. He goes on a rant over how it displeases him and all that shit. What a fuckin' whimp.

[ there was that look down at the helmet before looking back at kakyoin. it was just a moment of consideration before leaning in that much closer ]

You don't want to play this game with me Kakyoin, not when there's boba tea with little frog shaped tapioca pearls on the line.

Although I have to admit this is a good attempt at fathering me, but I feel confident enough that we're evenly matched.
