[ Hey guys, have a guy with ridiculous hair over the communicators today. He looks a little hesitant, as if he's not used to talking to a lot of people like this, but.. whatever, he's going to do it. ]

So.. uh, I know there's a lot of confusing shit going on, but I just realised there was something I forgot to ask the first day. It was sort of important, so I'm just gonna ask it now..

Do people back home notice we're gone? I mean, that's gonna be a problem, y'know! My mom's gonna flip, she'll murder me if I suddenly disappear! [ Or.. well, the reason is more like.. ] .. and I don't wanna worry her. [ Cute, Josuke. ]

Are those things really that weird? I've heard them talk a lot about how they're shitty and dangerous and we have to beat 'em [ and he's certainly planning on doing so ] but they didn't really say what they're like. I mean, I bet I wouldn't even recognize one if I saw it!

Dude... you'll know. They look like shit outta some horror movie, kinda human but all twisted up. They make the air around 'em real heavy - that's the Madness - and it makes you hear n' see shit if you're not careful.

[unbreakably]

.. Hear and see.. what kinda shit?

[ He's slowly trying to catch up on all this.. sure, there's been Stands that could cause hallucinations and stuff too, but each one was pretty specific.. ]

[topgun_textiles]

Different for each person. Apparently everybody's got a bit of Madness in 'em, and when that spikes ya see shit y'didn't think you wanna experience.

If there's some kinda guilt or somethin' that freaks you out, chances are you're gonna start seein' it.

[ .. Ugh. That does sound pretty bad. Almost reminds him of that guy who used people's fears.. not that he won't try to deal with it all the same, this is Josuke we're talking about. ]

You ever got to see anything from it? It sounds like it's some pretty heavy shit.

[topgun_textiles]

[A pause. Every instance of Madness he'd experienced flashed through his mind, right down to every bloody, giggling detail.]

Yeah. It's pretty heavy. That's why y'gotta up your resistance. Resonating helps drive it off, so get some practice in and you'll be fine.

[unbreakably]

Got it. [ It doesn't sound pleasant, but he'll deal with it. Somehow. ]

Thanks for the warning, man. Always better to not jump into that shit blind or it'd just go wrong.

[topgun_textiles]

Yeah, no problem. Good luck out there, dude.

[unbreakably]

Thanks! See you around for sure!
