Hey, you. You know what happened here?
"I heard there was an explosion here a while back!"
Oh, it was an explosion.
"They still haven't found any corpses or survivors..."
Wait, no corpses? Like, the no survivors bit is kind of understandable, who would want to stay around after that, even if it was an accident? But, no bones or anything? Doesn't it take something real hot to incinerate bones? Hmm.
Red Garland, do me a favor and bend the bars wide enough for me to slip through, will you?
... I asked you to bend the bars. Not brake them off and throw them away! Quick, let's get inside.
...Wow. This place has just been devastated.
Hmm. Looks like the stairs to the second floor have been destroyed. Let's go see if anything's up with those bookcases.
...Looks like only two survived. ..."Stand Notes"? Jackpot!
Huh. Seems interesting enough as a power.
This...This just seems to be blatantly overpowered. Is there a time limit on these things? A range?
...Automatic? Anyway, bugs aren't that bad. ...Shit. Now that i've said that, I'm probably going to get bum-rushed by about a dozen of the things in the future. Hmm, doesnt seem like there are any more notes. Now, for the second one.
The only thing that survived is a photo of some guy and a girl who's presumably his daughter. They look happy.
Looks like this is where the explosion happened. Strange how only this wall was destroyed. *Turns around* Hmm. Is that a book between those beds? *Goes over and picks it up, opens it, and reads.*
"...It's that bow and arrow... That's the cause of this whole catastrophe... It has the power to awaken latent Stand powers... I'd tested it many times to no ill effect, but that day was different...An unbelievable thing occurred. The arrow broke apart, scattering pieces of it everywhere. I don't remember how it happened...It was almost like it shattered on it's own. That was when it all started."
"Bizarre events began occurring around town, one after another. Things that seemed like they couldn't possibly have been the work of human beings. Then, today I received a visitor. He too, was a Stand user."
"The man introduced himself, then, in a detached tone of voice, began to say...'I apologize, but you know too much about my powers. I came here to dispose of you.' That man is my murderer... Using my Stand, Dan Penn, I was able to transcribe my final thoughts into this diary. That arrow has caused many new Stand users to appear, and so has sparked many disasters. This is my penance for my irresponsible deeds. Watch yourself from now on. Watch out for 'Stand users'."
... How horrible. Hmm? What's this?
*Got Bizarre Memo!*
...I think I want to get out of here. Now.
Fuck school for now. Let's...Let's go to the arcade.
Y-yo man. How's tricks?
"Good. You know that if you enter through there, you can get into school without getting spotted by the teachers?"
Yeah. That's something I have definitely never done and will not do in the future.
The arcade. For the life of me, I don't know why the owner called it the Game Center.
The place is as trashy as ever. Huh, I don't remember seeing the girl in the cloak before. Must be new in town. Anyway, I'ma go talk to these guys first.
Hey man. You winning?
Said anyone who has ever played the slots. Hey, how about you guy-
WHAT THE FUCK MAN!?
*Red Garland flicks him in the head with it's finger and he is knocked out instantly*
What the heck was your problem dude? Fuck it. I'm going to go talk to the guy playing Pong back there.
Then give up dude. Take what money you have left and leave.
Yeah? What about her?
"She's a fortuneteller from out of the country. She said she'd pay me, so im letting her do it here."
Alrigh-
Dude. Even if I was into other girls, she is most definitely not my type.
...Hmm. I guess it wouldn't hurt to know what's in my future.
...I've gathered.
"Would you like me to tell you your fortune? I'm still in training, so i'll do yours free of charge..."
Sure. Why not.
"All right. Ready?"
*Nod*
*Mumbojumbo gibberish*
...Yyyeeaahh. That's some real good "fortunetelling" there. I'ma be leaving now.
