hey signorina

…?????????????

-No sign of slowing down.-

-He’s getting very passionate about something.-

-How does he roll his R’s like that?-

-He won’t let you get a word in.-

-Well, he’s heading out now. Ciao!-

-He departs.-

-There wasn’t a lick of English or Japanese anywhere to be found.-

ilmareeterno liked your post:-Just kind of stretched out at the table….

-Literally the last person she expected?-

-He forgets the other side of the koi pond is Not Italy and he just starts yapping at her in Italian.-

Ita… oh, you mean the…

[She points across the yard, towards the European portion of the property.]

Ichi has not gone over there, but… they have… light hair, as well. And they have your accent, a-as well… and–

[Now it’s her turn to head-tilt? Wonderfully beautiful? W–What is that, a compliment? A compliment for her? She’s not so much flustered as she is just confused? She blinks.]

Z-Zeppeli-sama… it is an honor. I am Oichi… but you can call me Ichi, if you wanted. Most everyone does…

[–Oh yes. Her snunnies (Snow Bunnies) have been noticed.]

Y-Yes…! Usagi is the word. Ichi has not seen many of them around, but… she likes them very much. W-Would you like one, Zeppeli-sama?

-NAILED IT.-

Yes, yes, usagi of the snow! Well...normally, you would only see them in the countryside, but these look just like them! Very real-looking! Very good.

It’s a great honor to meet you, Signora Ichi.

-He is offered a bunny! He looks at them in contemplation, then draws something out of his pocket.-

That is a very kind offer, Signora, but I think it would be best if they stayed with you. I’m not sure how to take care of a rabbit...

Please accept this as my apology.

-What he takes out of his pocket is a small pipe-like object, which he proceeds to blow into, producing a substantially large soap bubble. A little hamon, and suddenly the bubble takes the shape of a rabbit and detaches from the pipe, floating gently towards Ichi.-

Ah! Over there is Italy as well, from what I understand.

If we’re neighbors now, then we should celebrate with tea?

Certainly! I heard Japanese tea is quite good! In return, I’m sure I can find a good chianti to share with you...

Ah, what is your name? I am Caesar Zeppeli. My friend Joseph Joestar is around here somewhere...

S-Shaow…? S-Shinyo… rina?

[Well… he’s not charging at her or shouting? At least? She can’t understand that language, but… well, she’s seen scarier. She tries sitting up a little.]

Y-You… your hair is so bright. L-Like the sun… do you hail from the… the West?

-Thank goodness they can at least fall back on English even if he’s not the best at it. He takes note of her quiet personality and decides he’d better not come on too strong with her.-

Si--yes--I am Italian. My name is Caesar Zeppeli, and it seems that we are neighbors now. My thanks for such a wonderful compliment, coming from such a wonderfully beautiful girl...

-Woops. Right, gotta tone it down a bit.-

Ah, I see you are adept at snow artistry! These are...ah... “rabbits,” no? Wait, wait, I know the word-- usagi?

ilmareeterno liked your post:-All things considered, he is a bit lonely right…

-Well, a new friend can pick him up from his thoughts right now.-

Ah, good evening… You’re from across the way, right?

Ah, yes! Hello! I am from that isle over there--which was, formerly, in Italy...it seems we are now neighbors?

[–oh god a new person? She stops being philosophical right there and just sort of shrinks down into the snow. Become one with the snow bunnies, Ichi.

.........?

-He tilts his head at her? Why is she hiding? Was he really that scary-looking..?-

...Ah...ciao, signora?

-She’s snickering at that.-

Noted.

And we don’t have any bulls here, so don’t worry. I mean, we have–

We are never to let this Joseph meet the sword here named Tsurumaru. All white clothes, white hair, pale skin, gold eyes. That is the most good will I can extend to you.

With that said, Tsurumaru’s currently AWOL with Mitsutada…

...

I have not met this Tsurumaru, but I have a feeling that such a meeting would be a disaster that would end the world.

-She bows a little bit in return.-

I’m aware of Hamon–I’ve actually watched Jotaro and Mr. Valentine train here on my grounds during their stay here. I was told it was deadly… and, well, I have no reason to aggress anyone so long as they follow the rules of the house here. Anything I can do to assure you I have no malicious intent, I’ll do, since we’re so close.

No breaking any of the swords–my primary ability is to breathe life into them and protect history. No taking the horses here without my permission, either. And if there’s a fight night, you repair any damage you cause.

Swords..? Horses? Well, this is Giappone...I will not do any such thing. You have my word. Likewise, please let me know if there is anything that I can do to help build our rapport. You needn’t prove that you aren’t a bad person. I can tell already that you are a delightful signora...

...

I should warn you about Giusep--G--Joseph though. He is, how shall I say it...

A complete idiot.

I don’t know if he will take your horses, since he dislikes the--beefs? Bulls? But please be wary of him. He isn’t malicious, just stupid and incorrigible.

Please forgive his existence.

-He’s not sure if he’s done anything wrong or not? He probably has. Catholic guilt sets in. He starts praying the rosary just in case.-

Oh, I’m kind of a champion at existential crises?

-A blink before she nods.-

And, actually, yes, I am a vampire. As of a few days ago, I was kind of asked to become one, so I did.

...I see. Well, that is not my business, so forgive me for prying. I ask because I and my friend Jojo, who accompanies me here, are trained in Hamon -- which can be deadly to vampires. Though if we have no reason to fight, you shouldn’t worry. We just...have a bad history with certain ones. No offense intended.

That isle over there is where we train. Our sensei, Lisa Lisa, will probably be by shortly to rein us in and hopefully establish diplomatic relations with our new neighbors. I hope that we can have a good and friendly rapport with you, Signora Dankuri.

-He bows.-

“I thought as much.”

“Oh, one thing to mention. There are a couple of vampires around here, but they aren’t hostile. The head of the house is one.”

“On that subject, one of them is actually looking for help in regards to regaining her humanity. Envenomed, apparently.”

#imthesexiestamericanpresident

I see. Well, I suppose it’s fine, as long as they don’t cause any trouble in that regard? Perhaps we have moved to the point where vampire-human relations could be--

Shit, I hear Sensei. You’d better start to pray.

-He sounds endearing, like Mitsutada? Even sort of the same height? … Speaking of, where is Mitsutada?-

It kind of happened–for reasons I don’t understand fully. Naples is over there, apparently. We’ve been kind of calling this place Japantaly and Nihotalia as a consequence… I didn’t think we’d have Veni–Venezia as well?

-There’s also the portal to furry world, but she’s not mentioning space pomeranians.-

And please, don’t worry. My name’s Memeko Dankuri. I live over…

-She turns around, points to the citadel.-

There. On the Japan part. I’m essentially a priestess and owner of that establishment.

THAT’S NAPOLI? UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Well.

Well, it’s fine. I’ll get used to this, I guess, like I got used to living in the 21st century. I-I just...

Please excuse me. I am having a...how do you call it, an existential meltdown.

...

You also appear to be a vampire, Signora Dankuri?

“He certainly could I’m reckoning.”

“Little issue with that though. He hasn’t been back since that weird Jonathan did something to him.”
