I get that your intentions are good and that you want to protect me.

Does that help?

[starmark]

so you understand but that doesn't mean you're happy about it?

[manuscripture]

That isn't what I said.

[starmark]

you didn't say if you're pissed off at me or not

[manuscripture]

I think the choice you are making is stupid and reckless. Mitsuhide is unstable.

I'm saying it for your own good.

[starmark]

i know he is

i don't like it any more than you do but i don't know what else to do

[manuscripture]

Don't get involved.

That's all you can do. He goes away when he's ignored.

I

Don't want something to happen to you either.

[starmark]

he found somebody new to be pissed off at lately

maybe that's a good thing all around

it'll distract him

do you want to listen to me play the guitar tonight

[manuscripture]

If you get yourself killed, I'll kill you when you come back.

Also: Yes. Always. Have you learned anything new?

[starmark]

i can think of a lot of things i'd rather have you do to me than kill me

also

don't laugh

i've kind of been trying to write one

a song, i mean

joTARO

[manuscripture]

Have you? What about?

And what would you rather have me do, huh?

\o/

[starmark]

it's not really about anything, it doesn't have lyrics

so i guess it's an instrumental?



i'd rather have you draw me

or fall asleep on me

or y'know

[manuscripture]

Even instrumentals have meaning or stories. It must be from somewhere.

Sleeping on you sounds nice. It's beginning to get so cold out.

[starmark]

i don't know about that

but i guess if i had to come up with something i'd title it "kallisti"

[manuscripture]

And why would you pick that one?

[starmark]

because it's for you

i'm not talented with this the way that you are with art or anything

but i figured if it were one of a kind then that'd be kind of special

[manuscripture]

I would like to hear it, Jotaro.

[starmark]

okay

just us?

[manuscripture]

Just us.

I'm in my room.

[starmark]

I'll be there soon.

[AND OFF HE GOES.]

[manuscripture]

[ Make that a cue for a sign-off and Rohan sliiiiding his laptop to the far side of his literal Floor Blanket Bed Monstrosity that has evolved since they moved in. Ten thousand blankets and there is a very obvious dent in the middle where he sleeps under most of them.

He burrows.

He literally burrows. Ain't that precious?

By the time he hears anything resembling coming to his doorway, Rohan has his chin on his hands... Comfortable and placid. ]

It's unlocked.

[starmark]

[And indeed, in wanders Jotaro, wearing a set of worn-in sweats that have become his around-the-house comfortable clothes and brandishing his acoustic guitar with a vaguely eager look on his face.]

Hi.

[...]

You look comfortable.

[manuscripture]

[ He picks up his head, tilting it. ]

I am. You came to play me something?

[ Even he looks excited to listen-- his swishing tail gives him away. W i g g l e. ]

[starmark]

[THE TELLTALE TAIL]

I did. Where do you want me to sit?

[He glances around elaborately, looking for a comfortable and unoccupied space to settle in.]

[manuscripture]

[ Well he can't stuff it under a floorboard ok ]

The bed is fine. There's plenty of room. I don't keep chairs around...

Let me be the judge of "Kallisti".
