[Um. Like, okay, if his mother had died on his birthday or something, that'd be understandable, but four isn't unlucky. It's like . . . probably actually pretty lucky? Like, four leaf clovers, right?]
okay well im still getting you something FIVE of something maybe bad luck doesnt stand a chance against me
[Yes, it does. Bad luck finds you in the end. Fours get you too. But of course he doesn't say it. Doesn't say anything for a while, just plays around with his watch listlessly.]
if you feel that strongly about it
i don't really, i've never done anything for my birthday before so it's not terribly important to me
[But it's your birthday, he wants to protest. It's your day, the day where everyone pays attention to you, the day when you get cake and gifts and everyone says how much they like you. It's the best.
He's going to get him something. But he's not stupid enough to keep insisting on it, because that's not going to work. So, instead:]
we should have cake like not birthday cake just cake on the last day of march
[Which is . . . 3/31. Seven. No fours, which is apparently important. Good.]
i took the turn into the driveway too fast and too sharp so i shot up the side of the driveway and into the front gate my mom really liked that gate i never heard the end of it

unlucky?
no subject
for lots of reasons
but you can tell from the date - the 16th day (4 x 4) of the 4th month
i didn't always know that meant it was unlucky but it always has been so it makes sense
no subject

all right
i'd like that
no subject
[He'll get him a gift, too. Not a birthday gift. Just a casual, because-we're-friends gift. A gift of . . . something, god only knows what.]
why is four unlucky
i mean we dont have to talk about it if you want but where im from its pretty lucky
no subject
and he's the luckiest person i know so i believe him
besides
[. . . well.]
four in japanese sounds like the word for die
jotaro is a good person so he probably didn't tell you but my mother is japanese so it makes sense that four would be bad luck for someone like me
no subject
[Well, that's ominous. Also! Explains a little more about the mysterious relation between Jotaro and Giorno, if he's partially Japanese.]
well anyway then its good well have cake on 3/31
seventeen is also way better than sixteen
for the record
no subject
is it? i didn't know
how is it better
i knew jotaro when he was seventeen and he just seemed like a disaster
no subject
seventeen means youre older and your voice doesnt break anymore and you start to get muscles
and maybe taller
also you start getting to drive
also one year away from not being restricted on what you can buy
no subject
well sort of

please just have a driver all the time
for the rest of us on the road
[NOT THAT HE HAS A CAR, which he's a little sore about, but not a whole lot.]
why were you driving anyway
was it here or home
no subject
i had to steal a car to get away from a stand user
i used to drive taxis before that but i mean
it's harder when you're in a high speed chase
no subject
we had a front gate once when i was your age
and then i learned to drive and we didnt anymore
no subject
no subject
so i shot up the side of the driveway and into the front gate
my mom really liked that gate
