[Since Genesis has been feeling very cheery, he's in the mood to talk to the city. Usually, he'd be a bearer of news as part of the Watch or a mouthpiece for recruitment. But today, he's in the mood to talk about something else.]

Did you ever have a feeling-- and impulse, more like, to do something dramatic? Sweep someone off their feet, or run off on an adventure? I didn't think I'd feel such a thing, but perhaps it's about time to revel in a little happiness. Do something beyond the fighting, the training, and the daily hubbub.

What I mean is...

Yako Katsuragi, would you like to go flying with me this afternoon?

[He ends his feed with a great big grin.

Oh, and if you feel like assaulting him in person or something, he'll be a sitting duck at the agency's reception area.]

Comments

[unbreakably]

Well, yeah, none of us are! [ That's not exactly what he meant, Josuke. ]

I mean, in my world there's no sun as fucking weird as this one! Not to mention it never drools!

[ He thinks it's gross, okay.. no gross drool all over his designer clothes, please and thank you. ]</small.

[recitings]

No, no, no... I mean... my world is very different from this one. There is no America where I come from. I grew up in a town called Banora, on the Mideel Continent.

[unbreakably]

.. Wait, no America at all? Not even Japan?

[ Not like he recognizes a name like.. Mideel or whatever, either way.. ]

So there's probably other weird stuff then, right? Faeries, aliens-- Godzilla?!

[recitings]

No. No America, no Japan.

[He laughs.]

And yes, there are weird things where I come from.

[unbreakably]

But not Godzilla?

[ JOSUKE... don't focus on the one weird thing if the other guy is not even bringing it up, okay. ]

[recitings]

No Godzilla either. What is that, anyway?

[unbreakably]

It's this huge lizard.. dragon.. dinosaur kinda thing that just runs around and squishes buildings in the city beneath its feet since it's just that big! [ He sounds rather excited about this, mind you. Granted, it's since it's a movie, but he forgot to mention that fact.. ]

[recitings]

... does he actually exist where you come from?

[Although Genesis was aware that there are such beings who could deal that much damage, he finds it pretty... odd... that this guy was talking with so much excitement about a being of destruction.]

[unbreakably]

Huh?

[ ... now it's slowly catching up to him.. ]

Ah-- no, not like that! He's from the movies, c'mon!

[recitings]

Oh. I used to be able to summon something similar to that.

1 / 2

[unbreakably]

.. Oh, so you used to..

[unbreakably]

[ Hoooold on a second there. Summon that?! Sure, people summon Stands like it's nothing in Josuke's world all the time but they're usually not Godzilla-size.. ]

How would you even control something that big?!

[recitings]

A strong knowledge of the use of magic is crucial to reining in a powerful summon.

[unbreakably]

...

That almost sounds like something Jotaro-san'd say.. [ Aka it's almost like he's being lectured here. Almost. ]

[recitings]

Jotaro-san...?

[unbreakably]

Oh, he's someone I knew back home. He taught me a lot of shit. [ Not necessarily about magic and all that, but.. about Stands, so it's close enough.. ]

So it's not hard to imagine him sayin' something like that.

[recitings]

I see.

[Genesis is pretty amused. It's the first time he had been compared to a teacher.]
