Makes progress towards some destination, keeps up some kind of defense ( and we don't know if there is some kind of limitation on this stand drawing power in terms of frequency and whatnot) and new things are learned. Seems like a solid plan at the moment.​

    • I started limping towards east once more. I could still see the real sun on the horizon, so it was easy to get a rough approximation of my path.

    Not only that but with the Sun active I had plenty of sunlight and an active defense after me. It didn't automatically target my enemies like I thought, but rather shoot scattershots in the general direction of the things I wanted dead.

    As I walked I experimented a bit, and found out that I could do individual shots at a certain target, but the accuracy beyond 'single target' became more or less random. I couldn't indefinitely scorch a single path of land or the same piece of tree bark, but the spread of the shots was about ten to twenty centimeters from my expected target. It was oddly accurate when I wanted a certain individual shot however, when it managed to hit a small pebble I lay on the ground.

    The damage potential of each shot ranged in intensity from low caliber gun to anti-armor weaponry, though the stronger shots need to be charged in order to deal it's damage, but once charged I could shoot up to ten laser attacks at once. The rate of fire was quite low for a stand, but it made up for it with larger volume of fire on the less stronger settings.

    I could also control how hot the Stand became, being able to dial it up and down to some degree, though it always stayed at least mildly warm, and the changes in temperature were gradual.

    I also found something else that I'm not sure appeared on the manga or the anime. Basically I could feel things nearby, though that wasn't exactly a good choice of words. It's like seeing with a different sense the nearby area, but this sight was blurry enough that I can't make out details further than 'that's a tree' or 'I'm here'. Very useful in the future, but not relevant until someone comes in to figure out why there's a second sun in the sky.

    Hmm... I wonder if people can see the second sun or only stand users can see the actual disk. Food for thought.

    ~~O~~

    Some time later I could see a small party coming after me. I couldn't properly distinguish rider from mount so they looked really strange to my senses.

    Now, how to deal with this scouting party?

    -[x]Default: Stay calm, don't claim you are the source of the second sun in the sky. Ask for help, be humble.

    Runs the risk of being caught, but that can be explained away be saying that he didn't know who was there and wanted to find out if they were friendly.

    I may change my vote to the default option depending on what everyone else thinks of this.

    Revealing powers is probably not a good idea until we know exactly where the protagonist is at the moment. It would also make him seem a bit silly if the stand cannot be seen.

    Agreed. We also need to know just which JoJo is around in this time period, and where we are exactly.
     
    How do you intent to be solicit and ask for help AND stay hidden? SI me isn't a moron to try and do two conflicting things at the same time. At least I don't expect to try it and result in anything more than standing dumbly in indecision.

    I guess I was trying to go for a "take a minute to see who they are first/are they friendly then present yourself" kind of thing.
    If that's still to contradictory I'll just go for the default option.
     
    Because you are copy pasting the default option it sounds like you are doing two contradictory things.

    If you didn't get it, the tone of the default options implies that he meets with the scout party head on. You're saying "I meet with them, but not".

    Yeah, I see the mistake I made.
    Oops.
    Guess I'll just have to be more careful in the future.

    Hopefully I didn't just mess everything up.

    • On one hand I can hide and watch to see if they can actually see the stand, after all you would try to figure out where all that light came from. On the other hand I could simply ask for help since I am injured, lost, hungry and thirsty.

    I pondered those options for a while until the choice was taken from my hand, mostly due to me standing dumbly with indecision while they arrived. I really need to stamp out that bad habit of mine.

    "Hail!" Said one of the braver riders, "Who goes there?"

    Quick, think of something cool! First impressions are important!

    "Er... me? Hmm, hi?"

    Damn it!

    "Who are you stranger?" He tried once more seeing I had fucked that one up.

    Taking a deep breath I introduced myself. "My name is... John Joester", I said, mangling the name a bit. Since I don't have the infamous star birthmark on my back I can't really claim the Joestar name, right? "I'm kind of lost."

    He looked me over, seeing how underdressed I was. "I can see that", he said dryly. "Do you know what's going on here, with two suns in the sky?"

    I couldn't help but fidget. "I don't know? Look, I'm injured, hungry, thirsty and tired. Can I get a ride back to civilization with you guys? When I mentioned I'm lost I really meant it, as in 'I have no idea in what continent I am' level of lost."

    "... you're on the North", he said carefully, "where else could you be?"

    "See, there's plenty of north's out there, that doesn't narrow things down to me."

    "Westeros? In the Seven Kingdoms? Near Winterfell? Are you feebleminded or something?"

    Oh.

    Oooooohhh!

    "Sorry", I said scratching the back of my neck, "usually I'm not nearly this lost. That does tell me where am I, but that doesn't change the fact that I have no idea where I am. The forest near Winterfell is pretty big after all."

    "Look", he said in disgust, "just... we will give you a ride to Winterfell since we're near. You can threat your wounds there and have some supper."

    "Thanks!" I gratefully said, "that's really nice of you all."

    "We're just going to scout the nearby region a little bit to figure out what's going on here then we will head to Winterfell."

    Changed a bit the latest update, should be more readable than the mess I had written before.

    Still doesn't really sound like a great idea to reveal things too soon, especially while injured and not knowing how the card/stand drawing stand works.

    Westeros, lovely. A setting I have zero knowledge of or interest in. Still, this is JoJo...

    Same here, so we'll kind of follow the lead of others on some things. That doesn't mean that we can't provide input on things, though.
    Also, JoJo is like dakka, because you always need more.

    • I waited for them to be done, standing near one of the riders. It took somewhere between five to ten minutes (I think, I don't have a watch with me) for them to figure out that nothing else but me was in the vicinity, or they simply thought it was too much of a bother to continue searching the notably wide area my Stand illuminated. Range A baby!

    Still once I got on the horse, and wasn't that an embarrassing event when I tried and failed to get into it several times, I deactivated my stand, letting the second sun disappear from the sky.

    Well, I said deactivated but it wasn't exactly what happened, the stand coming back to my body or just fading away like a normal stand. Instead the SUN shrunk back into a card and flew back to me, where a pair of ghostly arms grabbed it mid air.

    I don't know exactly why, but I felt like I understood more or less the nature of my stand.

    I shall name it 「Tarot」, since it can summon famous stands look alike for myself, in homage to the first few stands being named by the Major Arcana of the tarot.

    The riders were startled by the sudden disappearance of the second SUN, except my own rider. He just gave a glance to me before continuing his march towards civilization.

    Guess the chances of me being annonimous was shot in it's infancy.

    Still, who needs to be annonimous? If I wanted to make a difference in this world I need to make a big impact on it, and besides there were several corpse parts to find. Speaking of which, I pulled my shirt over and looked at my chest.

    For a moment it was just the ugly thing right above my fat belly, until something started to show itself near my heart. It was the 「Heart」, probably what gave me this potentially broken and utterly uncreative ability. Wasn't Funny Valentine D4C a product from the 「Heart」, or did he simply got his stand from the mysterious desert like so many others?

    Either way it's a moot point, as I would eventually leave this forest even if I had to endure more cold. At least I would be away from this stupid forest.
