01; Video... sort of.

[trickstar]

[The video feed starts with the face of a young man looking... very confused at the phone in front of him. Squinting, almost. Soon followed by a...]

HELLO?

[...He is literally yelling into the communicator, and pressing it to his cheek. Entirely unnecessary, since this is a video post... But whatever. Say hello to Joseph's cheek, fellow users of the Network. This is all you get for the rest of the video.]

There's no receiver end on this thing, how am I supposed to know where to talk into! Or who I'm talking to?

[Yeah. You're getting one of these guys again. Sorry. He's from 1938. This has been a rough journey for the technologically inept.]

Whatever! I have to go back- it's really important. I'm going to be done for in six days if I don't get to Switzerland! It's a really long story but I don't have time for another adventure, I'm already in the middle of one right now. I don't want to hear any of those excuses I've already been told! I'm being really serious here! I should have memorized Lisa Lisa's phone number...

What??

How? It can't be removed with surgery, you know!

[diociopath]

Rest assured, it can be done.

But it won't be a comfortable experience. That is why you should seek out alternative methods first.

[trickstar]

[An idiot would just accept this help without suspicion, especially since the other isn't saying how he does things. And Joseph's no idiot, but ... If he can't find a doctor who could find a proper cure in a few days, this is probably his only choice.]

I'll think about it.

[Ehhh, what's his name tag say...?]

Dio.

[diociopath]

If the government won't lend us their assistance in matters like this, then we only have each other to turn to. Wouldn't you agree...Joseph Joestar?

[trickstar]

[ Ugh, he hates how creepy it sounds when this guy says his name. Like he drawls it out for no reason.]

I guess. Do you really think the government won't help?

[diociopath]

[...

HOLD UP.]

You did ask, didn't you?

[trickstar]

...........

[What do you think, dio]

Uh.

1/2

[diociopath]

[Jojo.

Jojo it's been like five minutes and he's already so done with you.]

[diociopath]

They might help you.

But you have to ask them to first.

[trickstar]

So what, I have to go back there? I just left!

[diociopath]

You're going to die. I think it's worth a short walk.

[trickstar]

... I think I'm going to go get a soda first, then. Maybe a burger. Do you know any good places around here?

[diociopath]

...no, I don't.

Don't you think you should get that checked on first? How can you be sure it won't break early? Or have detrimental effects of some kind?

[Like on yOUR BLOOD.]

[trickstar]

It's vampire magic or something just as stupid. If it didn't break after all the Hamon training I did, it's not going to break from eating a burger.

[OR MAYBE IT WILL FROM ALL THE CHOLESTEROL]

[diociopath]

...very well then. I'll leave you to your search, Joestar.
