I felt lots of people had to urge to do Egyptian Happy Dance by now.

I like it, and I appreciate you doing it because we barely get any Moka stuff otherwise.
It's one of the high points.

He is not an average Joe(taro), that's for sure.
I bet it makes the best beer.
Is it that guy who played Luke Skywalker? And voiced Joker in one of the cartoons? I've heard he's quite an enchanting actor.
I can also do the serious proof-reading and typo-catching thing if you ask.
No, the guy who make dinosaur zoo.

so almost the end of the cold war.
if it's not too much in the way of spoilers how much does the Speedwagon foundation know about monsters?
was planning on doing an omake with Jospeh meeting up with the speedwagon foundation about an increase in stand users and possible Dio sightings.

Enough to be considered a "significant faction" in the monster world, though they don't have the reach or power that Fairy Tale and Judas do.
Avdol is part-Witch, as you may recall, and they do have a couple of other monsters in their employment.

Neat I'll start up my Omake tomorrow then.
Heh and to think the SWF was only created because Johnathan Joestar was so noble he turned a hardned streetthug into a good hearted gentleman business superstar just be being kind and kickass .Johnathan might be the least " interesting" Jojo but her certainly knew how to pick his friends.

Kept you waiting, huh?
As the two of you near the Shirayuki resort, you decide on a course of action. "Is there somewhere I can make a call in private?"
Tsurara raises an eyebrow at you, before idly gesturing at the wilderness around you.
"....without freezing my ass off?"
The woman elegantly raises a sleeved to cover her mouth, but not quite fast enough to keep you from noticing her cheeky grin. "Picky, aren't you?"
As much as that behavior pisses you off --
ORR- fucking Christ!
...if teasing you helps Tsurara to deal with recent events, then you suppose you should allow it. What a fucking pain...
"Once we're back, I'll let Mizore know you need some time to yourself -- feel free to make use of any guest room you like."
...that works.
The remainder of the hike passes in silence.
Mizore's waiting for you by the door, with a small smile on her face. "Welcome back."
You observe for a moment, and can't help but wonder if she's been practicing that in front of a mirror. Not because it in any way seems fake or insincere, but because... well, because you caught her browsing a magazine for wedding dress designs the other night. It wouldn't surprise you if Mizore tried to practice "acting like a wife". Or at least, whatever she imagines it might be like.
Tch. All she needs to do is be herself....
"Good to be back."
You step through the door, ignoring whatever the mother and daughter duo might be saying to each other. First order of business is to grab your phone. You're in the human world, so logically you could use any phone in the building... but if you used a different phone, Joseph might just look at the caller ID and decide to ignore it if it shows an unfamiliar number.
Before long at all, Mizore starts following you. Her footsteps are soft enough that you can't hear them for the sound of your own, and she's not radiating any cold... but you just know her well enough that you can tell she's there, behind you.
"I... have some stuff to try and deal with. I promise I'll tell you about it later, but..."
Your Stand bursts out from your body, and it's all you can do to keep it from barreling into your girl at full force.
"It's best if I'm alone right now. For everyone's sake."
"I... I see. I'll see you later, then."
She might be walking away, but you're sure she'll be poking her nose into your business far earlier than you want her to.
Well, that's just who she is, you guess.
Stepping into the comparative privacy of your room, you make sure to put a fresh battery in the phone before making the call.
After about a minute or so, someone picks up. "I thought you'd be too busy enjoying your summer vacation to call, Jotaro. I assume something serious has happened?"
This is going to be such a fucking pain, but you'd better tell him everything, or else anything you try to hide will come back to bite you later.
"...the short version is that I have a Stand now, and I'm struggling to control it."
There's silence, on the other end of the line, and what sounds like a muted 'Son of a bitch...', until eventually he replies. "I've summoned my resident expert. Until he gets here to talk to you, I want you to tell me everything."
So you do. You talk about Terada; what he'd try to do to you and your mother, what he did to your girlfriend's parents and an unknowable number of innocents, and a summary of how you and Tsurara sent that son of a bitch right back to Hell where he belongs.
"...I see."
Bizarrely, he almost sounds relieved. "Under those kinds of circumstances, it doesn't surprise me that you awakened a Stand. That it seems unruly is quite troubling, but my resident Stand expert just entered the room. I trust this man with my life, and you should consider his advice as if it were my own."
Not even in your top 20 things you'd care to be listening to, but.... as much as it angers you to admit it, you need to. For Holly's, Mizore's, and everyone else's sake.
When your Stand interacts with something, you feel as if you're doing it with your own hands. The idea that your Stand could break your own mother's neck, or cripple Mizore or something, all because you weren't able to control it, is.... terrifying.
The hell with losing someone you love in the first place, but especially fuck losing 'em like that.
The next voice you hear is a rich, deep baritone. "My name is Mohammed Avdol," he begins. "I understand you're the type who prefers action over words, so I'll try to keep this brief."
...huh. Actually, you do appreciate that. "Fine."
"My insights will be limited until there's a chance to witness your Stand in person, but for now..."
There's an extended silence of several seconds, with the distant sound of calm breathing as the only sign the call hasn't dropped. "I have the impression that your Stand is strictly humanoid in form, and that it either stops moving or dramatically loses power at a range further than three meters or so. Based on what I can gather, it appears to be astoundingly powerful in terms of speed and brute force. I also sense that it has some manner of hidden power, though I can't imagine how to draw it out at this stage."
"The hell are you, some kind of psychic?"
The words come out of your mouth almost before you realize it. Given that the old man described Stands as a form of ESP, that would technically make you a psychic as well. You get the sense that the man on the other end of the call, this Avdol, is grinning.
"You might say something like that."
Good grief....
"In many ways, a Stand is like a muscle. It takes training to learn how to use it to its fullest, and it seldom happens overnight. In your case, I would recommend meditation as your first step. Focus on materializing the Stand all at once, and then practice exerting your will on it daily, one body part at a time. It's more of an art than a science, but this should help you to get started."
"I see."
"A Stand is an expression of one's own self," he continues. "Above all else, follow your instincts."
A moment later, Joseph's on the phone again. "Jotaro... I'm sure you remember from Witch Hill, but I'm going to ask you again: please, don't tell your mother about any of this Stand business. As much as possible, I want to keep her out of it."
You're not entirely sure about the point of that, given she already knows about youkai, but.... for all that you've seen him act like a goofball driven by whimsy, he's serious. You almost feel like there's something specific about Stands that he wants to keep secret from her.
[]Sure, you'll keep quiet about Stands. The old man has his reasons, and it's not like you were planning to make a big deal out of it in the first place.
[]....both her father and her son are Stand users, now. Is the old man worried about Holly developing a Stand of her own?
