The Hands of Fate [JJBA]

Reader mode
So, I have a theory.

Our Stand's power, one fully evolved, will be conceptual splitting.

As in, it will be able to do things like split the the speed of pursuing enemies, or split the distance from one area to another to get somewhere faster.

Perhaps, at full power, we'll be able to do things like split seconds to slow down time, and stuff like that.
 
Does the stuff we separate fly back together or does it teleport back to its previous spot?

Also @Nathaniel Wolff considering the music video I thought it would have the power to set liquids on fire or turn water into other substances?

As this happens, your companion draws back its arm and slices at the buggy with one finger outstretched, with a sharp cry of "SHAU!" Its nail leaves a faint, glowing blue line across the buggy, which is suddenly split in half horizontally. The ruined engine immediately stalls, and the remaining lower half of the shambling zombie of a car tumbles end over end before skidding to a halt past you.

It's true. He's still alive, his internal organs protected by indestructible glass. It's simply how your Stand works. All it needs to do is scratch a line across an object to split it, but no damage truly occurs. Rather, the split parts remain connected. Something on the inside of one part can move directly into the other part without exiting it.

Why would the Stand's ability ruin the engine if its internals are still perfectly fine? As far as the vehicle is concerned, it is "intact" and the lower half should move as if everything is normal.
 
I HAVE AN IDEA!
Let's take his head with us!
His body will be fine as long as we feed it and give it water and the boss will probably come for the general location, and in the meantime we have a talking companion for us!

Maybe the guy driving the ruined car panicked and slammed the breaks? Or the jumbling of the car falling in half knocked something loose.

You know these powers remind me of Law from One Piece...
 
Dang I wanted to pull of a KISS. But good idea Dumbo

[X] Let him live
-[X] Put the car back together and scavenge for useful parts
--[X] Check how banged up our motorcycle is
-[X] Demand he take us to his boss or at least a hideout.
-[X] Take only his head
-[X] Pick up remains of radio

Because it only split the engine near the top. The reaction was all happening at the bottom of the engine. The pistons moving on the bottom piece won't affect the top piece, since that's not an internal thing like an electrical signal to the nerves in a limb. Thus, the engine didn't work.

The guy's boss is either our starter villain(soon to be Jobro) or he is the main villain.

Can you elaborate on that explanation? Because by that logic, the car is not considered as a single abstract object (and thus everything inside it being considered internal) but a group of physical objects that have different physical objects inside it. If what is considered to be "internal" happens at the point of the split, then our Stand could lethal when splitting people because it would prevent blood (and thus oxygen) flow for 5 minutes.

Its probably one of those living things react differently then dead deals

To be honest, I didn't think super hard about it when I wrote that part. Consider it an Araki-style early part plot hole.
 
Also, in terms of how votes are structured, I'm one of those QMs where common sense actions being done are an implicit promise. You don't need to vote for Alejo to scavenge for parts or check the state of his motorcycle because that's common sense and Alejo would obviously think to do that.

Nonono, here's how it works, force can't propagate through the split in a split piece, only things inside of the split piece will be transported as if the object is still a full piece, thus, when we cut the engine along the top of the pistons became disconnected from the engine, throwing the whole thing out of whack because you ended up with disconnected cylinders of metal slamming up against the remainder of the piston, loosing too much energy to continue the cycle!
Depending on what engine you're using, I guess, there are way too many types, but my general idea still stands.

If you apply that explanation to a person, then they will die because the heart won't be able to maintain a blood pressure to pump blood any further than the split as the other side of the split is effectively seeing no force coming in.

my dude

it is the john johns

the jim jams

it's all good
 
Thats why I said it was a living dead divide so that we don't lose our heads trying to explain why it works? Plus it's supernatural and you know how much supernatural stuff likes saying FU physics.

No, I said only the things on the inside of the split object can move as if the object is one whole object (Objectobjectobjectobject), it's just that if I pushed one half of a split brick, the other half wouldn't move, although if there was a ring of constantly circulating water on the inside then the water would act as if it had never split at all.
It also explains why the car acted as if you had actually cut it in half rather than moving as if it was still one car.
