“ i couldn’t tell you over the phone. ”  @debtswon speaks, instigating a surprise visit. 

who else could be there?    kaiji’s genuine suggestion nourishes an uncomfortable thought, a justified measure inevitably beckoning some degree of paranoia.  it was healthy, for now—-  the industry giorno fist-fought his way into required a clear mind, sharpened by vigilance; yet, one must remember it is poison first and foremost, that surrender to madness is to accept unfounded suggestions as truth. it was no slippery slope;  it was a crumbling edge, plummeting a vulnerable mind into its untenable abyss. 

thus, giorno approached this concern with compassion.  telephone line hijackings, radio-wave takeovers, computer viruses;  there were a plethora of ways for an enemy to interfere, and although the odds were in their favor, keeping important details of their objective hidden for the sake of public secrecy was dangerous.  transparency was key. the large, wooden doors are shut, and the sound of their joining echoes throughout the room, signalling their privacy.  it’s silent, oddly so.  the slightly opened window lets in a pleasant breeze, and the sun’s rays, spanning a blush gradient, illuminate the room.  what a shame this subject is so sensitive, giorno thinks, as he rises from his chair and maneuvers towards the framework, locking its dark wood panes and pocketing its key. 

one brief peek outside, an examination of their environment, was the last thing giorno granted it before shutting the voile curtain and reducing them to mere silhouettes through mesh. 

silent footsteps, at a glacial pace, stick to kaiji’s trail.  stoicism subdues all visible emotions simmering underneath giorno’s youthful features, save for a hint of concern, which stubbornly clings to his gaze.  kaiji is now sitting on one of the twin sofas placed at the end of the room, and giorno follows his example—- taking place opposite of his guest.  elbows press onto his thighs, spine bends, and his body angles down; half-folding, leaning forward, all to listen.

🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE NUMBER ONE BOY IN THE WORLDDDDDDDDD🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉

[determinazione]

"i’m not going to let anyone hurt you ." from bruno.

meme + accepting!

unacknowledged, unmentioned, yet universally understood:  the pact between the two, an agreement of mutual protection.  it’s a fundamental aspect of friendship, but never before has this care been vocalized; and as such, giorno didn’t expect an affirmation of their dynamic.  

how… strange, it was, to hear that someone valued him.  ever since his guardian left, the “i care for you”s have been scarce.  what’s a teenage boy to a mother who didn’t want him?  just another worthless mouth to feed. 

thus, as the bond between his companion and him grew stronger, giorno assumed its impermanence. the dissolution of diavolo’s reign produced an avalanche of change, during which he imagined bruno being swept away, another inevitable loss amidst the chaos.  bruno remained, reconnected, challenging giorno’s unjust assumption then and there;  forcing him to reexamine what produced this lack of faith.  never had bruno implied his heart was corrupt, and giorno’s trust in his judgment endured… so, why?

what an uncomfortable query.  the mere seconds it took for giorno to respond were spent pondering it, before finally dismissing it, stuffing it away in some far corner of his conscience—  so that he may acknowledge bruno’s righteous sympathy.

as paradoxical as it may be, that stern care brought an earnest, gentle smile to giorno’s lips.  it, however, couldn’t force a meeting of gazes. a brimming fear of weeping whispered to him, and he was determined to follow its unhealthy advice. 

“  no need to worry,  i will be alright.  ”  another beat is spent in silence, disrupted by the rustling of leaves, the song of a bird, the disruption of branches…  clearing the boy’s mind.  “  but your concern is appreciated, bucciarati.  but... perhaps it’s best if you focus on yourself, and empty your mind of such anxieties.  ” 

a brief glimpse is shot at bruno (how long ago did he leave that hospital bed? it feels like yesterday.. his recovery is far from over), a fleeting moment of eye contact permitted, before giorno’s head turns toward the window, beckoned by nature’s melodious ambience.  

“  it’s a beautiful day, don’t you think?  ” maybe... they should go for a walk together.

we have always lived in the castle.

dialogue prompts from we have always lived in the castle by shirley jackson.

i have had to be content with what i had.

keep well.

a pretty sight, a lady with a book.

i wish you were all dead.

never let them see that you care.

if you pay any attention, they'll only get worse.

it's wrong to hate. it only weakens you.

they tell me you're moving away.

i wish you would not sit so close to me.

did you ever hear anything like the gossip in this town?

i have a little house, all by myself, on the moon.

you go pick on someone else.

you go along home.

there won't be any peace around here until you go.

i wanted them doubled up and crying on the ground in front of me.

can't you make them stop?

i'm always so happy when you come home.

i'm always happy to get home.

was it very bad?

i'm getting better all the time, i think.

is there anything you need? anything we can do?

are you frightened?

sooner or later, i will have to take a first step.

you have a right to be happy. come back into the world.

you've done penance long enough.

no one would recognize you in the city, you know.

you'll need some clothes.

i don't listen to their gossip, and i hope you don't.

nine-tenths of that feeling is just your imagination.

it could be said that there is danger everywhere.

there is such a thing as good taste.

you mean you remember?

i'm sure i don't think of myself as suffering.

you say you have never tasted arsenic? it is not agreeable.

i cannot remember when i have taken to anyone as i have to _____.

____ wants to reform you.

i can't help it when people are frightened; i always want to frighten them more.

maybe there will be a tulip open today.

it's terrible to be old, and just lie here wondering when it will happen.

we'll always be here together, won't we?

don't you ever want to leave here?

the world is full of terrible people.

look, you've got to let me in.

shall i brush your hair?

go and look. ____ isn't there.

can't it all be forgotten? there's no point in keeping those memories alive.

i never feel quite comfortable when you're away.

i have not been doing my duty. i have been hiding here.

how long has it been since you combed your hair?

i have decided to ask you to please go away.

please will you go away?

you are the silliest person i ever saw.

i should have done everything differently.

don't blame me.

don't go around taking other people's things.

you are evil. you are a ghost and a demon.

i see no cause for this hysteria.

i'll be back as fast as i can get help. don't panic.

don't watch. don't watch them.

can they see me? is anyone looking?

why not let it burn?

we have to run.

it's all over. it's all right. all right now.

i am going to put death in all their food and watch them die.

we are on the moon at last.

i thought i dreamed it all.

i'm glad to be here. thank you for bringing me.

what are we going to do?

it was all my fault. somehow it was all my fault.

come and talk to me. i want to see you.

everything's all right. really, it is. we're going to forget all about it.

are you hurt? sick? do you need help?

listen. no one's going to hurt you.

you can't just let people go on worrying and worrying about you.

i wanted you to forget about it. i never wanted to speak of it, ever, and i'm sorry i did.

we'll never talk about it again. never.

it is not quite as i supposed it would be.

i must say you never looked so bright before.

no one knows for sure if there's anyone inside or not. the local people tell some tall tales.

i wonder if i could eat a child, if i had the chance.

poor strangers. they have so much to be afraid of.

[notmorbid]

the largesse of the sea maiden.

dialogue prompts from the largesse of the sea maiden: stories by denis johnson.

i don't love you anymore.

don't talk. you'll ruin everything.

i want to forgive you so badly.

you repent the things you've done, and regret the chances you let get away.

you're either from heaven or from hell.

the only painter i admire is god.

my dreams exhaust me.

i can't imagine why i said that.

don't tell me god doesn't have a sense of humor.

you look just like your dad.

i am a prisoner here.

if you don't remember, it wasn't very good.

i have more to remember than i have to look forward to.

i wouldn't mind forgetting.

do you like me, or love me?

these years have absolutely kicked my ass.

i need somebody to remind me to stay in my lane.

you've always got something wise and reasonable to say.

i've got about a dozen hooks in my heart.

i'm through explaining this family.

i want to be able to look people in the eye.

my noble young petunia.

don't blame your family for your own miserable mistakes.

is that a real song, or did you make it up?

i've never gone to vegas, but i've woken up there.

i don't listen. you might as well shut up.

you can't be the second coming, because i am.

i know i don't know what's good for me.

we thought we were so tough.

what could be worse than a messenger of god?

i was tiny, but i remember.

what has to happen, has to happen.

there's something very familiar about you.

most people have never heard of me.

you always bring to mind the phrase 'sweet sorrow'.

so this is the end?

how long? and please don't shit me.

nurses know more than doctors.

i only ever really loved you.

i wanted to see you again.

night night. i love you.

there's something i didn't want to say before.

i couldn't tell you over the phone.

i'm the only one who knew?

you have this frail quality. like your childhood terrors aren't done with you.

i know when you're lying and when you're telling the truth.

do you know how long i've been waiting for you to ask that question?

screw the question. what's the answer?

[determinazione]

how exactly does giorno handle those who do not immediately conform to the 'new' passione? are there differing levels of retaliation against 'traitors', or is everyone regarded the exact same?

that’s an excellent question, and i’d argue an important aspect of how giorno handles them depends on two things: their reasoning and their former occupation within passione. 

those who oppose because the financial / practical uncertainty of their role changing (i.e. those who helped with warehouse functionality relevant to drug trafficking; people whose role demanded some form of complacency in terms of drug production; and, eventually, anyone whose work relied on the gambling industry) would be guaranteed similar positions with improved pay.  a lot of menial tasks can be transformed into similar tasks for different outcomes, meaning these people aren’t forced to adapt their work technique in any significant way. this transition is simple when it does occur, and it’s likely a majority agrees to these new terms. the minority that does not, cannot fathom betraying their now-former employer.

those who oppose due to a breach of trust (a new don is a major change, after all) are allowed to question giorno (not directly, i must say) and these renovated policies.  it’s not like most of these people cared about their boss, anyway:  they’re just another invisible force guiding their life. giorno’s lucky that diavolo’s obfuscation led to insufficient loyalty.  but what people do care about is losing stability amidst great changes. if they are guaranteed stability for the foreseeable future, they are willing to let a majority of infractions slide.  this can be both beneficial and disadvantageous—- in this case, it’s useful for building a good “bond” with his “employees”.

those who oppose in the name of conflicting morals are troublesome, to say the least.  profit over life; addiction in their problem; i’m not giving up on my lifestyle to fix others’ failings. a sadistic world is one they thrive in, making egalitarian efforts adversarial. by avoiding blatant tyranny, keeping their support for vicious policies subtle, wrapped in a soft, worn blanket, muddled by artificial concern—  their assimilation is excellent, having spent years upon years perfecting their arguments.  their position in this brutal hierarchy mustn’t be threatened, and it’s oh so simple to convince the uneducated that “these people” are “taking from [them]”. unfortunately, these politics have no easy “cure”; firing them with severance  payment (read: a silencing tactic, the kindest one there is) will result in this martyr-pretense, “they fired me because i knew the truth”; giving them ammunition in this one-sided fight, enough to convert potential colleagues. 

it’s a reward for their treachery, which giorno absolutely cannot allow.  

these cases are handed to his cruelest men, the mind-breakers, who will tear their ego to pieces and reduce them to what they are: weak, pathetic, worthless people. their delusions of grandeur will be torn out of them, like an excess limb, silencing them for good.  they will be an example of what happens to the wicked.

of course, there’s a handful of in-betweens, whose solutions require finesse;  but their numbers are few, making giorno’s policy fairly simple:  opposition is allowed, perpetuating corruption and harm is not.  if you choose the latter, you will be dealt with.

[determinazione]

“why work when you can take the day off? you’re the boss, ya’ know. you can set your own hours!”

oh,  wouldn’t that be wonderful?  a day, perhaps a handful of them, where giorno’s expertise and guidance aren’t needed—- where crime ceases, and following morals is more gratifying than filling empty stomachs. diavolo’s defeat happened a mere dozen weeks ago, and restructuring is an arduous, continuous process.  giorno’s absence might scatter whatever broken pieces of morale which remain, as his delicate hands bleed from handling its fractured shards. soon enough we’ll be spending time together was a sincere promise, although the deliberate omission of a specific date was frustrating.  every choice forged a different future… and unfortunately, lives were on the line. an ever-shifting calculation couldn’t spit out a solid conclusion,  there were too many equations at play.

thus, okuyasu’s statement is a little callous, a little out of touch.  despite this, it manages to make giorno smile.  his gaze rips itself away from the stack of documents before him, and finds those soothing lavender hues he’s oh so fond of. affection blossoms in his chest, its petals brushing against the bottom of his esophagus, and it forces an already-brimming chuckle out of him.

“  you certainly have a way with words, darling.  ”  what an admirable trait it was, his emotional honesty.  one might call it foolish, but it fostered a sense of trust giorno desperately needed. no obfuscation of the heart,  no slow estrangement,  no reason for skepticism.  their sewn-together souls required no separation.  if the words made it past okuyasu’s lips, there was truth to it—-  and their candor sways his romantic heart.  

a drawer creaks as giorno peels it open, storing the paper bundle within its confines, and closes it.  an entire day without the don could be disastrous, but… perhaps they could spare a few hours?  

fuchsia heels hit marble underneath, and the soft clicks accompanying each step echo across the enormous, hollow room, as giorno slithers towards okuyasu.  one hand places itself at his nape, fingertips burrowing past that thickening silver and mingling with the slick strands—-  while the other seeks its kin, yearning for familiar rough digits ‘round its form. chin tilts upwards, turquoise optics eager to find contact now that they’re face-to-face, to guarantee his full, unbridled attention.  the warm, deep scent of okuyasu’s cologne causes giorno’s heart to flutter, soothing that visceral need for companionship.  he’s lovesick, borderline obsessed.  

“  if i were to temporarily pause my activities here…  ”  his inflection manifested a few octaves higher than usual, granting okuyasu a peek into pure, raw glee.   “  how would you like to spend that sudden, free time, hm?  ”

what do you want most in the world ?

oh my god oh my goddddddddddd

[determinazione]

the path to here is long and winding.  one must pass through corner after corner, slip between ancient walls and traverse archaic cobblestone avenues. dim incandescent street lights illuminate these hidden neighborhoods, keeping the entrance to their headquarters out of sight. without directions, one will never find it.

past the giant doors, one would be greeted by a long, colorful hallway, a variety of plants across its marble floor. beyond the second set of doors stood the don himself:  a smile on pink-painted lips, contagious delight spread ‘cross his youthful features.

“  welcome, mister kishibe.  ”  his monotony is broken by goodwill, mirroring an excitable heart.  giorno extends his hand towards @thusspoke in a western attempt at greeting his friend.  how could he ever forget what rohan had done for him? when his mother abandoned her teenage child, giorno felt as if the world could swallow him and no one would notice. his absence wouldn’t leave a hole, for he had no place in anyone’s heart.  that boundless desolation couldn’t have been chased away without the mangaka’s kindness, the effort invested in giorno’s interests, his well-being—-  it made him feel seen,  valued.  someone listened to him, when he needed it most.  how could he ever demonstrate the extent of his gratitude?

“  i am grateful you came. ”  there’s a slight pause, wherein giorno gestures for his bodyguards to return to their previous posts.   “  please do not be intimidated by my men—-  they are at your service, and will not harm you.  i know your time is especially valuable, therefor i will not waste it. is there anything you wish to see first?  anywhere you want to go?  we can leave immediately, if you so desire.  ”

[determinazione]

for reference, giorno isn't just going to give anyone a position in passione. he's awfully selective about who would fit in its ranks, as there's a certain moral standard one must conform to before it's even considered. if someone applies to join after his takeover and restructuring they'll receive a series of mundane tasks; these tasks are not the point, however - rather, an informant will be sent to surveil said applicant, and observe their methodology. how do they treat those around them? how do they spend their free time? what are their motivations? can greed consume them easily? do they respect human life, and avoid unnecessary violence? once these question have been answered, they will either be welcomed... or refused.

[determinazione]

giorno doesn't really talk much about his emotions or what he's been through, but when he does tell - he describes every detail, right then and there. it won't be in snippets, or bits, and you won't have to dig or pry; if he's ready for honesty, the whole story will be yours.

[molabuddy]

a little personal response / tribute to "here's the life i've always longed for" by Anna Haifisch. the original means so much to me, and even though it's hard, I feel like every day i'm making more steps toward finally being on the other side of that fence <:)

yes, giorno is one of the most "lethal" of jojos; yes, his tendency to end someone's life in a swift-yet-brutal is alarming, however... he isn't mindless with his killing, and the value he sees in life is the motivator for merciless execution. how many more people would've died to cioccolata's compulsions? how many have suffered due to diavolo's greed? polpo's status was significant, but which families no longer have children because of him? missing persons posters are a bitter sight, knowing melone may have invoked his parasitic stand and consumed them - how long could this have gone on without anyone interfering?

it may be extreme, yes, but it is justified.

that tidbit the anime added of the two tourist girls bumping into giorno never fails to amuse me because it makes him look SO TALL.... but he's just 5'7"/170cm!! he is TINY!!!!
