8 - ☆ - VIDEO (BACKDATED TO AGE SWAP EVENT)

[trickstar]

[So everyone's been having a fun time as kids or younger versions of themselves, running around and enjoying childhood again, right?

Wrong.

Some people wound up aging up- a lot. Like almost fifty years worth of aging up. One of those individuals is Joseph Joestar, who for the first few days was originally very, very upset about this. Screams of "OH MY GOD" echoed throughout the festival, as well as various tugging at his own face in an attempt to rid himself of wrinkles.

But now he's finding the benefits. See: Joseph at an IHOP happily enjoying a stack of pancakes- and his senior discount.]

Being old kind of sucks, but you get a discount on like everything! And I can buy alcohol now, no one even cards me! And everyone holds doors open for me, and give me their seat on the bus… Being old isn't half as bad as I thought it would be! And I still look pretty good for an old guy. I'm nowhere near as sexy as I was at nineteen, but I don't look half-bad!

I'm surprised to hear you were concerned with being sexy before!

[trickstar]

...

[Who the fuck is this. Fucking... Hisoka?? ]

I was super sexy before!

[chrysalust]

Did I say you weren't? Must you be so defensive about your appearance? It comes off as desperate, Jojo~

[resipiscent]

I see you're enjoying yourself.

[Nose-guy got small.]

[trickstar]

I am!

-Hey, you're a kid now. I guess I should have said something about being able to help people who got turned into kids. You don't need help with anything do you?

[resipiscent]

Uh, not really. I'm kind of just sticking around home, cause it's hard for me to travel very quickly. Short legs.

[ SHE IS STILL KIND OF GLARY AT YOU, MR. JOSUKE'S DAD you massive massive weirdo

but then wait a goddamn moment. he used to be nineteen? and Josuke's like sixteen, right? so that means....ewwwww ]

You've gotten even weirder than I thought, Mister.

[trickstar]

[SECRETS OUT...]

H-Hey! I'm not weird! What's so weird about pancakes??

[friendshiprocks]

It's not that. It's the fact that you used to be nineteen that's the weird thing.

[by the time Jonathan's got enough free time to be futzing around on the communicator he's probably had his memory wiped. alas. he's leaning on his folded arms and watching the feed with a sort of wonderment at the amount of pancakes onscreen. god damn son, he could go for about five of those.

beneath the childish awe at American breakfast excess, however, is an almost imperceptible air of hesitance. Jonathan's still not entirely certain that he should be on this network at all - he's almost expecting someone to accuse him of stealing the device that's been on him this whole time. it wouldn't be the first time something like that happened.]

Do you know what sort of toppings are on that? It looks delicious.

[That's... Jonathan, isn't it? He saw the other when he first was aged down, but he still had his maturity. This Jonathan... Maybe Joseph's just seeing things, but his eyes look a little more innocent? Is that possible? He must be seeing things.]

It's strawberries with strawberry syrup. Next stack is going to be blueberries with blueberry syrup.

[...a glance. Well, if he needs to test Jonathan, this would be the time.]

Do you want to have some?

[fistofthejoestar]

[ohhhh good lord that sounds so delicious. and he bets you could totally get dollops and dollops of whipped cream on it all if you asked, and maybe chocolate chips or apples and cinnamon or -

his eyes are practically sparkling at the limitless possibilities, and it takes him a few moments to realize that Joseph's said something else. when it finally registers, it's got him sitting up a little bit.]

Is that really really alright? I don't think I could pay for any of it!

[he sounds intensely concerned, but there's also a sort of hopeful air that he's trying with childish inefficiency to bury. Jonathan really wants to be given permission by someone in authority to go have some of these, but he's pretty sure that's not gentlemanly at all.]

[standsproud]

What a pain...

[trickstar]

What do you have to worry about? It's not like you have anything to do with this! And if you say "give me a break, Old Man" to me, I swear I'll find a way to ground you.

[standsproud]

[Do you see that

do you see that smirk ever so small] ...give me a break, old man.

[glampop]

Oh? I wonder if it's permanent for some.

[Sup, boo. Guess who's hot and twenty again?]

video;

[trickstar]

W-wait, you're older again??

[goldenlegacy]

Wow.

[Yeah, that's right. Just. Wow.]

[trickstar]

Don't just wow at me! It's rude!

[Says the authority on rude.]

[acclimatized]

I agree, there are definitely some benefits.

[trickstar]

[sciencelady]

Dude I think you might be the second-best aging person here. [Roxy, in her late thirties to early forties, wolf whistles across the screen.] Were you always this buff?

[trickstar]

I was way more buff before!! I totally lost muscle mass on this!!

[No. Really.]
