忍び泣く

      “I can agree with you. Though as we advance we need to find a way to rat them out. What if direct confrontation isn’t part of their particular style?” He observed the coin, furrowing his brows. He would then look past the people that walked by. There was a large fountain up ahead that a young couple would approach. Dropping their coin and making a wish.

        “Hm. By any means, let’s not loiter here any longer.” He said, making his way towards the fountain. A small flick of his thumb caused the coin he once held, splash into the water. However, as the droplets of water sprung out; it contacted to the bare skin of his forearm. “AH–!”

         It STUNG and sizzled against him. It SEEPED into him to plague the Young Joestar. It seems like he somehow lost sensation of his arm. It felt numb. and static. Smeering the substance off would do him no good since its effect had already commenced. 

      “J-Jotaro–!” He blurted as his fingers curled up to form fist. The sparks of Hamon layered around as he swiftly turned and took a swing at his grandson. It wasn’t his own doing. He swears!

Despite his initial shock Jotaro is thankful for Joseph crying out as he alerted him just in the nick of time, allowing him to dodge the stray swing. It’s obvious to him right away that some outside force is controlling Joseph. It must be the person that stole his wallet. An enemy Stand. He really couldn’t catch a break for just one day, could he? 

“Yare yare daze…” he mutters, readjusting the hat atop his head. He figures trying to fight Joseph will likely be futile since the enemy can just keep this up until one of them gets hurt. Aside from that, he’s not sure how this Stand’s powers work. It’s clearly probably remote, but will it take control of Jotaro too if he touches Joseph. Joseph did touch the coins and fall under the enemy’s control shortly after…

He’ll have to avoid every blow thrown at him while trying to find this enemy. But there’s so many people that he doesn’t know how long this will take. 

“Joseph,” he calls out, maintaining his distance and keeping Star Platinum by his side just in case. “What did you do right before you lost control of your body’s movements?”
