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.

Comments

[esperienzadoro]

[He startles, summoning Gold Experience before realizing it's just Panni. Giorno sighs.]

You scared me. Is everything alright?

[infezione]

I came in to check on you.

[As he starts rubbing Giorno's back.]

How much more do you have to do?

[esperienzadoro]

[Giorno looks at the stack of paperwork nearly three inches deep.

Yeah. Yeah.]

[infezione]

[...]

... Nope, you're done for tonight.

[esperienzadoro]

Panni, I can't. I need to sort out these reassignments sooner rather than later, and get that presentation on what we will be doing to "compensate" for the loss in profits since we no longer have a narcotics division.

[infezione]

You need food and sleep, GioGio.

[As he moves to drape on Giorno, resting his chin on top of Giorno's head.]

[esperienzadoro]

I ate.

[A bag of chips Narancia left about three or four hours ago.]

[infezione]

How much and how long ago?

[After a few moments of consideration, Fugo pulls out the hair tie keeping Giorno's braid together and starts combing that braid out with his fingers.]

[esperienzadoro]

[Oh, and he melts as he always does when someone plays with his hair.]

When was Narancia here?

[infezione]

I asked him to check on you four hours ago, GioGio.

[And now that the braid's out, Fugo starts gently scratching at Giorno's scalp...]

[esperienzadoro]

Oh...

[God. God.]

Did you? Well, he had some chips he left.

[infezione]

[Hmm, yep, gonna keep at it, then.]

A bag of chips is not a meal, caro.

[esperienzadoro]

But it is food.

[Giorno lets his eyes slip shut. This feels so good, he's had his hair up all day and now he has a headache.]

[infezione]

You still need more than just that.

[But this is clearly helping, at least a little, so. Continuing to gently scratch at Giorno's scalp, especially in the spots where it'd do the most good.]

[esperienzadoro]

Mmm...you're not going to let this go, are you?

[infezione]

Absolutely not. C'mon, GioGio. I'll make you dinner.

[esperienzadoro]

Wait, you haven't eaten yet? Panni...

[But up he gets with a sigh.]

[infezione]

I wanted to wait for you...

[But when Giorno gets up, Fugo takes his hand.]

[esperienzadoro]

But it's so late.

[A small squeeze to that hand.]

Panni...

[infezione]

[Just... silently squeezing Giorno's hand back.

He has no defense.]

[esperienzadoro]

Next time I have to work late, why don't you just bring dinner into my office? I don't want you not eating because of me.

[infezione]

... alright.

[He would prefer if Giorno worked late less but...]

[esperienzadoro]

[Giorno can hear that slight disappointment, so once they get closer to their rooms, he pulls Panni into his arms.]

You want me to work late less.

[infezione]

... yeah. I worry.

[This isn't healthy, Giorno!!]

[esperienzadoro]

[A tight hug, and then he continues on to their rooms.]

How can I help you worry less? Once things settle down, I should slow down, but until then what can I do, vita mia?
