WE'RE UNDER ATTACK AND COULD DIE AT ANY TIME

[digiorno]

[Okay first of all: ahhhh??? Hierophant is touching him? He goes wide-eyed and follows along obediently, a little clumsy with the movements at first because what the actually fuck is this.]

I can't imagine Polnareff doing this . . .

THERE IS ALWAYS TIME FOR A SECRET HANDSHAKE, JOSEPH

[lapidarius]

Really? He was pretty enthusiastic about it at the time.

[gio you small adorable child you]

[digiorno]

I'm so angry with him, he should have told me.

[Maybe he would have if you didn't act 45 years old all the time??? Also, when the first walkthrough is done, he taps Hierophant lightly on one of his ribbons and wiggles his fingers. Hel-lo.]

[lapidarius]

If he shows up here, I'll have to give him hell for that.

[oh hello there indeed. Hierophant wiggled slightly in what might have been appreciation, Kakyoin apparently realizing for the first time that he'd kind of been all in Giorno's personal space with it.]

Ah--sorry about that. I wasn't really thinking. [Hierophant pulled back, wrapping around Kakyoin's arms instead.] That wasn't too weird, was it?

[digiorno]

[The disappointment when Hierophant pulled away was one hundred percent visible on his face. He smiled all the same, though, after a moment.]

No, no - it's fine. It was nice. I like him, and I don't really get to see him much.

[lapidarius]

Oh--really?

[A little hesitantly, Hierophant snuck back out like a snake moving along the table.]

I just thought it was probably weird; I didn't want to assume either of us could just come right into your personal space like that. I'm just used to using him as a second set of hands.

[digiorno]

It's fine. It's just--

[Well. He snuck his fingers across the table right back, stopping precisely at the halfway mark.]

I'm used to Pistols? And they don't ask before they climb all over you. So I think sometimes I sort of expect it from other people without thinking.

[lapidarius]

[...handholding is go, because hierophant does not mind being a sneaky snake around people's hands thank you very much.]

Mista's is really a remarkable one, isn't it? I don't think I've seen a Stand with that level of independence, and I've definitely never heard one actually talk before.

[oh jesus christ you got him started.]

[digiorno]

[Oh no oh no oh no this is cute. He's just going to hold very still and maybe squeeze a little. And double oh no, these are his two of his three favorite topics, Mista and Stands (the third one is Passione, obviously).]

I've never seen one anything like them, either. I don't know if you've ever seen him in action, but they work together really strategically. It's surprising at first, given the way he talks, but they work together seamlessly, even though the Pistols operate on a separate conscious level.

[lapidarius]

I haven't seen them work yet, but I'm really interested to see what they can do together. I mean...okay, I've seen some unusual Stands, but I'm pretty sure Pistols has to be the most fascinating one I've come across so far.

[shame he's constantly on the verge of beating the shit out of its user, man.]

I got to see Buccellati's Sticky Fingers a while ago, as well. He's really impressive, too.

[digiorno]

[He opens his mouth to say they're my favorite, but no, that's rude. Oh but Bruno now. Ahhhhhh.]

Did you fight him or just see him? I fought him once, when we first met. He was really clever.

[okay but giorno he tortured you are we just not going to mention that?? oh okay]

[lapidarius]

We had a short sparring match. He's definitely impressive, I was caught totally off guard.

[look at this excited child, no one's ever been so happy to talk about losing]

Polnareff told us about a Stand that fought with...negative space might be the phrase for it? But Sticky Fingers is something definitely different, I couldn't even guess what his actual range is.

[digiorno]

He used it to keep a cell phone in his face once.

[HIS MOM IS SO FUCKING COOL!!!!]

[lapidarius]

[....how creepy and yet so functional]

That's...efficient.

[holy shit bruno]

[digiorno]

He's very efficient and creative. Just like Mista, but in a completely different way - you wouldn't necessarily expect it to meet him once, because he's so kind, but he can use Sticky Fingers to really excellent [and deadly] effect.

[hyperventilates about bruno]

[lapidarius]

A Stand like that seems to lend itself well to unconventional uses, kind of like mine. I definitely wouldn't want to be on the wrong side of it in a real fight.

[digiorno]

Well, I wouldn't want to be on the wrong side of Hierophant, either.

[who's the best weird tentacle stand oojaboo]

[lapidarius]

[heeee's the cutest tentacle kamen rider]

I'm sure you won't have to worry about that, anyway.

[digiorno]

Probably true.

[He's still kind of staring curiously at Hierophant coiled around his hand - which reminds him.]

Oh. You haven't really seen Gold Experience since that first night, have you? Do you want to? [Since we're being fucking nerds anyway.]

[lapidarius]

...If you wouldn't mind, I'd love to.

[huge nerds.]

[digiorno]

I don't mind at all.

[Clearly not, because - when Gold Experience manifests, it is s t a r i n g at Kakyoin. Hello, friend. But chill. (It doesn't.)]

[lapidarius]

[look he's seen a bug-eyed kamen rider every day of his life, this isn't all that bad.]

...Hi there.

[digiorno]

[Giorno is just going to keep snuggling Hierophant with a little smile on his face. Meanwhile, Gold Experience tips its head and pauses, like it's trying to decide whether to be shy or not. Big decisions. Tough choices.]

[lapidarius]

[Okay then. If that's how it's gonna be, Kakyoin would just cautiously hold out a hand and let Giorno, his Stand, or both of them decide just what to do with it.]

[digiorno]

[In the end it's hard to tell who makes the decision in the end. Giorno doesn't make eye contact with or even look vaguely in Gold Experience's direction; however, it looks at him as if waiting on some subtle sign, then carefully takes Kakyoin's hand.]
