JoJo's Bizarre AU

[ripetuto]

Cascada: A hamon wielder who resides on Air Supplena Island. She largely isn't involved with Joseph and Caesar's training, since her focus is on the healing side of the practice. Looks up to Lisa Lisa a great deal, and treats the boys like they're her rowdy little brothers.

Zappa, Turner, Joplin, & Garcia: A quartet of Stand-users who work for the Speedwagon Foundation.

Lucrezia Stelline, Sara Canestrelli, & Natale Amaretto: A trio of back-alley doctors who work at a clinic in Naples affiliated with Passione. All three have Stands.

Lia Brooks: An American sixteen year old stuck in Italy after a vacation gone horribly wrong. Shot by some assholes, saved by Bucciarati, subsequently joined Passione and his team. Stand name is Astral Romance, which grants her some batshit durability and also shoot-em-up mechanics via flower petals.

Prompto Argentum: Another child of Dio's, he and Bucciarati meet when Bucciarati stumbles into his hideaway after a fight. Stand name is Paparazzi, a Stand that looks like a camera that allows Prompto to affect anyone shown in the picture.

"Nines": A teenager of unknown origin who seems to be anywhere and everywhere at once. Formerly a member of a group of twisted Stand users, recently left this group to wander around and learn what he can on his own. Stand name is Puppet Loosely Strung, which allows him to take over another person's actions for a time; however, the longer he stays in the more psychic backlash he feels when he leaves, and if he is in for too long, he risks losing himself.

Yuu: A transfer student who attended Giorno's school up until being stabbed by Black Sabbath's Stand arrow, and is then left with little choice but to join Passione. Stand name is Jar of Hearts, which allows for the collection and storage of others' injuries, thus healing them. These injuries cannot be stored indefinitely and have to be inflicted on something or someone within a certain amount of time or else Yuu will take the brunt of the damage themself. Has a sub-Stand ability called Heartbreaker, allowing for Yuu to weaponize their own physical and emotional pain.

And even now, if there's a son in my future, he'll be Anthony. He'll just get to meet his "uncle".

[bolledivita]

[Okay, that's it, he needs to (carefully) pull Joseph into a kiss--]

[andnextyoullsay]

[And Joseph will go!

Suzi comes in at that point, and she just smiles.]

When you both have a moment, they want to move Jojo to a private room for long term patients. It's a bit more like an apartment than a hospital room!

[bolledivita]

Ah-- really? That's great!

[It means Joseph will be out of this damned room.]

[andnextyoullsay]

Si. It will make it easier for us to take care of him and for you to rest like you should be, Caesarino.

Hey, that's my nickname for him! Get your own!

[bolledivita]

[He cracks up.]

Perhaps-- perhaps another nickname, cara? It's strange to hear that one from someone who isn't Jojo.

[andnextyoullsay]

Oh? But it's so cute...

Yes, and it's mine. Call him something else!

But what else can I call him? Jojo is your nickname, not his!

[bolledivita]

I wouldn't be terribly opposed to either of you using "Cae," if that helps? And given how many pet names I use, using them for me are fine too...

[andnextyoullsay]

I think we both know it's best if I use the Italian names, bello. Jojo's accent is so bad!

[Sulking! Now!]

[bolledivita]

Sorry, Jojo, but she is right.

[Kissing his cheek.]

... I will not say no to English ones from you if the mood strikes?

[andnextyoullsay]

Asshole. How's that?

[bolledivita]

[POUTING.]

[andnextyoullsay]

[Suzi just giggles.]

You two are so cute! I am the luckiest woman in all of Europe.

[bolledivita]

[That did genuinely sting a little but...

... whatever, he'll deal.]

And we're definitely the luckiest men. Right, Jojo?

[andnextyoullsay]

[Joseph's never had a relationship before, he's learning.]

We absolutely are...though obviously I'm the luckiest, with my Caesarino and my Suzi.

[bolledivita]

[Oh, look, Caesar's blushing again-]

[andnextyoullsay]

[They tease each other a little longer before Suzi goes off to help prepare the new room.

Joseph reaches for Caesar's hand.]

What's wrong, Caesar?

[bolledivita]

[Caesar lets Joseph take his hand, looking up at him.]

Huh?

[Eloquent.]

[andnextyoullsay]

You got upset earlier. What did I say?

[bolledivita]

Oh.

[...]

... It's stupid, but I was kind of hoping you'd use a real pet name.

[andnextyoullsay]

Oh, Caesar.

[He kisses his hand.]

I will use so many pet names you'll hate me. I was just teasing.

[bolledivita]

[As he glances away--] It still kind of stung a little.

[andnextyoullsay]

I'm sorry.

[Another kiss.]

Next time, just smack me. I'm still learning how to navigate all of...everything.

[bolledivita]

Alright. And I'll try to get better about talking about things. This is my first real relationship, after all, so I'm learning, too.

[andnextyoullsay]

Oh? Are you telling me Suzi and I are the first to tame the infamous lady's man?

[And right back to teasing!]
