In order to facilitate the creation of new stands and easy bumps here's a handy stand generator;
http://www.pages.drexel.edu/~dft29/Stand_Generator/Stand-Generation-Overdrive.html

And if you want to go the extra mile, replace the ability you get in 「Description」 and write your own description of how your Stand looks and works, along side the song or artist you're referencing in your Stand. That'd be sweet.

Stand Proud!

Whether your new to the thread or have been here since the start and want an outlet for your creativity without undertaking a massive story, why not try your hand at an All Star Battle?

Many stands have been thought of or generated in these threads, so why not have them face against each other and see who comes up on top?
>Pick any stands from these threads and come up with a battle!
>Example: [BENZIN] vs. [Rocket Man]
>And if you're feeling really creative, you could write multipe stand users fighting, either in groups or be a huge battle royal.
>Example: The 「SHADOWBOLTS」 vs The 「WONDERCOLTS」
>And in true Jojo fashion, feel free to get creative with it. Maybe write a conflict that isn't a straight up battle.
>Example: Rainbow Dash decides to prank Pinkie Pie with her newly gained stand, unbeknowenst to the fact that Pinkie also possesses one, and shenanigans ensure.

Now I just feel kinda bad for Jobin. He got beat up for having a faulty memory, was forced to do horrible things to his mom for the sake of not getting assaulted every day, and accidentally gave a guy a contusion when he discovered his Stand. I still feel nothing but disgust towards Kaato, who knew what happened at the shrine and made the decision to bury a middle schooler alive because he was tormenting her son instead of taking him to the cops or dealing with him nonlethally. She to rebel against a "life decided by men" and did so by willfully choosing to murder a child with the aid of her probably 9 or 10 year old son.

I'm far more interested in the fact that young Jobin has Rock Human-like cracks on his face in the flashback and what that could mean for him and Kaato as people.

In addition to that, Dolomiti made it sound like Jobin isn't gonna be the final boss, since he mentioned all sorts of other people out there who're gonna want some of the rokakaka fruit with or without Jobin smuggling them.

I got to say civil war nearly every main character has to at some point deal with guilt and their past and while friendship can try and fix that the power of a stand will literally kill you with the guilt.

If that's the case the lock would literally be the strongest stand in equestria

Like, it wouldn't even be hard for tamami, most of the inhabitants of equestria in one way or another are really nice and caring people, so really, it wouldn't be that hard to guilt trip the main 6 into dropping some bits, especially with somepony like twilight or fluttershy.

Stand Ability: [Vehicle_Intuition] + [Challenge_Creation]
(http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Vehicle_Intuition) + (http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Challenge_Creation)

Stats:
Power - E

Speed - A

Range - B

Durability - A

Precision - C

Potential - A

Description: The user is capable of having extraordinary skills in driving any wheeled vehicle, but as a side effect, any other wheeled vehicle that enters its range will be forced into a high speed race.
The user and the opponent driver do this in an unconcious way, the only sign of having entered a competition is through the non-stop Eurobeat that comes out from the vehicle's radio.
This comes to an end when the competition is completed.
There might be a reward for those who win these races...

>On top of the route coasting the way in the Canterlot Hills, there is a driver awaiting those who dare prove themselves to be "The Fastest".
>Rumours say that anyone that wins against this mysterious driver and survives the race will be granted their deepest wish.
>So far, no competitor has returned, but even so, every weekend's night there is someone reckless enough to try their luck...

To be honest the last time I properly wrote was when you was down thinking of stopping your story because no one was giving you feedback, I stood up saying no and about how brilliant you are.

If I'm good at one thing it's cheering people up, especially you lot of talented writefags, it was putting Erich in my story that would hopefully make you think
'Someone really did care' although he may not be the way you want him as you are his creator it's just a nice tip of the old speedwagon hat that people are watching and appreciate the work you do for this thread.

the ideas of cars in JoeJoe is a funny one as I can drive a car and that's my extent of knowledge on them but it makes an interesting idea similar to SBR that we will see soon (I will write after this weekend so next weekend)

I wish I had dedicated time slots to update my story i started the same time as some of you and as you reach your 15th / 16th chapter I've just finished the prologue / chapter 1 unfortunately personal reasons and my heart putting family first makes it so JoeJoe can wait even if it is 4 months while I make sure
The people I care about most are alright.

What a genius stand it's intentionally named after a meme but something that would test any opponent via driving rather then stand punching or range attacks.

I honestly can't ait for you to update m8,
also question, if we were to compare each of our stories to a part of jojo, which ones would fit the best with said parts? Like JoeJoe's story reminds me of SBR the most, CRBA with jojolion, and staranon's adventures give me a part 4 vibe, but other than that, idk.

After coming up with this, I couldn't help but think which characters could get involved in a race.
>Like Care in his car although it would probably get destroyed yet again, or Pinkie Pie in 「Party Rock」.
>JoeJoe in his Fiat punto 57.
>Zac in his Nissan micra 03 SX.
>Maybe the Hooflers in a Mercedes-Benz W150 770K 'H. Himmler'.
>Indigo and the ShadowBolts on their motorcycles...
But I think it would end up becoming a "Wacky Races" kinda thing... but that wouldn't be bad, right?

What kind of car do you think most characters, human or pony, would drive? Would they have a name like the horses in SBR?

For what it's worth, I think you are an amazing writer, and I thoroughly enjoy your story. And I'm not just saying that because you gave my character a cameo, or because you complimented me. I try not to say anything I don't really mean.

I hope you find inspiration for your story, and sort everything out with your life, and I wish and pray for your well being in your affairs.

I imagine Erich would have a souped up Volvo S90, with custom parts and programs for the computer. His Stand would actually lend itself well to vehicle maintenance, as he can 'feel' everything that's in a shadow, including the inner workings of a car.

I kinda thought it was an odd and funny looking car. Just the one someone odd and quirky would use! Also it kinda looks like one of the cars used by Lupin the 3rd, so those were bonus points.

The sister's car is the one from the GetBackers anime. There was no other choice for them.

Coco’s Bizarre Adventure, Episode 9: Bring on the Dancing Horses

The house strolled like something in a cartoon, like a smiling bucket of popcorn walking across the screen before a movie, but with so many more legs. Standing with the mare she admired and the filly she absolutely didn’t, she tried to count them. At one moment there were thirty-two, at the next eighteen, each one only existing to strike the ground once and then withdraw into some unseen underbelly. The whole effect was unseemly the closer it came.

And there was no mistake, it was approaching them. Coco weighed their chances of hiding, but there were only hills and grass this far out from the town. Even a grass-colored blanket might pop out to this Stand.

This was significant. Already assumptions were being made in the dressmaker’s mind, constraining possibilities. “This was a Stand, and possibly unfriendly.” “There is no way to hide.” These were the markings of her previous skirmishes, the grooves worn by experience. She expected to see another pony-who-was-not-a-pony within the building, staring out with ill intent, marching the way they came to take on Ponyville.

Because of this, she didn’t wait for it to come any closer.

“Stand back, girls,” she said, and then started her slide downwards.

Only to stop completely a moment later, as if she’d been stapled to the hillside.

She looked around swiftly, checking for a hint of the change’s source, before finally passing her eyes over Scootaloo, and 「Go Zone」 floating beside her. The filly was shaking her head back and forth minutely, a stony look on her face.

Coco smiled back at her sheepishly.

When all three of them had descended the hill, the house had reached its base. Coco tensed, preparing to move her companions out of the way before it trampled them, when the strange building finally stopped. Before the three, it withdrew all of its legs at once, and crashed to the ground, suddenly becoming a regular house again. Inside, the noise became muted, distant, but failed to disappear completely.

Diamond called out her Stand, looking for some errant thoughts coming from the building. Her subtitles were gibberish.

“Well, howdy there!” a voice called from the vicinity. Each pony looked in a different direction, and none saw the owner.

Then he appeared on the roof, hanging onto the chimney with his forehooves. Tan coat and frizzy brown mane, tall and lanky and wearing a good-natured smile. As soon as they noticed him, he was already sliding down the roof and landing in the grass with them.

“What brings you mares out here?” he asked.

Coco didn’t know how to answer the stallion, and Diamond looked suspicious more than anything, but Scootaloo marveled at him.

“Cheese Sandwich?!” She put her hooves to her cheeks and stared up at him.

He smiled wider at her acknowledgement, and swept a bow. “The one and only!”

By the time they’d all exchanged names, Coco thought of something to say. “We’re, uh, heading to Canterlot. Is...” she gestured with a foreleg at the building, “Is this your Stand?”

He shook his head. “Ms. Lemongrass is her own pony, through and through. Do you have a Stand?”

Coco nodded, and in a gesture of goodwill, 「Something for Nothing」 floated in the air beside her. Cheese Sandwich looked it up and down, eyes lingering on the sharper bits. After a while it faded back into her, and he let go of his inspection.
>>
>>29940585
“Well, I’m heading to Ponyville, personally. Canterlot’s been pretty exciting, but my Cheesy Sense has been telling me there’s some real cause for partying down over there. Do you fine mares know anything about that?”

“Cheesy Sense?” Diamond muttered to herself.

“It tells Cheese when there’s a party that needs planning!” Scootaloo hissed, loudly enough for all three of the others to hear.

Coco relaxed. “There was an incursion of Stand users, and all of them were agents of King Sombra. When they were all defeated, and their Stands stopped working, a lot of missing ponies were found again.”

“Well, that sounds like a match!” he said.

“There’s something you’re not telling us.” Diamond said.

He turned to her, his expression clouding, as she came to the forefront. Coco stepped back a couple of hooves, and Scootaloo crossed her forelegs. A few seconds later, she threw them up.

“What’s it matter?” she asked, ready to summon her Stand and settle the chain of command in their squad once and for all. But Diamond made no sudden movements, and held no violence in her expression; no, it was only frustration that crossed her face as she turned to the pegasus.

“How do we know that this is the real Cheese Sandwich and not another one brought in by Sombra?”

Scootaloo blanched with alarm, and then took a step back of her own, more hesitant than Coco’s.

“No way, no how. There’s no party pony like Cheese,” Cheese said, and shook his head emphatically, like a young foal swatting away broccoli.

Diamond’s eyes scanned over words that only she could see. “What about the house?”

“Ms. Lemongrass? We met each other a couple of days ago on the way to Canterlot.” Then, sotto voce, behind a fetlock, “Don’t worry. She’ll warm up to you when you get to know her.”
>>
>>29940596
Diamond struggled. There was something wrong with Cheese, but it was more difficult than usual to pull out. Was it the power of his Stand, or his own nature? “But you’re not heading to Ponyville to throw a party.”

“Of course I am! Why else would I go there, you silly-filly?” he asked, and mussed her mane.

Diamond looked and looked, concentrating, and then her ears fell back. “To take the foals. You want to use the house to collect all of the foals in Ponyville.”

Cheese, a little more nervous, was about to say something when Scootaloo beat him to the punch. “You can’t throw around accusations like that! What do you mean? What would Equestria’s super duper party pony want to foalnap anypony for?” Her words directed his thoughts, and the thoughts he tried hiding, and Diamond saw through.

“He wants to protect them from Sombra, and wait for all of this to blow over.” Diamond said, shaking a little despite herself. “Once a pony goes inside of that house, they don’t come back out until he lets them. He’s stealing foals to make sure they sleep through the catastrophe.”

Diamond felt the blood rushing throughout her body with the intensity of the accusation. And then she raised her hoof, turned in a circle, and pointed at herself.

Coco and Scootaloo watched her, looking for some sign of what she was indicating. She stared down at the hoof herself, numbly, as if it were some intruder into the conversation.

And then her back leg kicked out too, and she almost fell over.

“Are you sure your friend’s alright?” Cheese asked Coco in a stage whisper. A look of concern had been plastered on his face since Diamond had started talking, and now it only increased.

“What are you doing now?” Scootaloo asked Diamond, truly uncertain.

“I… I’m not doing anything!” Diamond said, and then her body shook and she started to trot in place. As her breathing increased, it became harder and harder to talk. “He doesn’t want us, leaving with his secret, he’ll want to, to fight us. His Stand is… it’s... guh! I can’t concentrate!” She was spinning around now, aggressively.

Scootaloo assessed the situation, grit her teeth and slid between Diamond and Cheese. Without moving from the spot, the friction beneath the stallion disappeared, and he tripped over himself, toppling to the ground.

She looked at him with something like betrayal. “You can see Stands. There’s no way that you don’t have one. And if there are any foals in that house, you’re going to have to give them back.”

At the same time, Coco summoned up 「Something for Nothing」, wrapping a leg-warmer on each of Diamond’s limbs and holding all four steady with her magic. It was an effort to maintain all four, especially with enough room for Diamond to move, but she managed.

The filly only started to headbang.

“This is, a Stand attack! I know it!”

Scootaloo agreed. “There’s no point hiding it, Cheese. But I don’t want to hurt the stallion who threw Rainbow Dash’s birthday party. That’s going too far! So just stop your Stand, before I have to force you!”

From his low angle on the ground, Cheese smirked.

And then the front door of the house swung open, and it clambered up to its disposable legs. Lumbering, it scooped down to grab Scootaloo, and she slid herself backwards away from it. Now that the ground under him had friction again, he sprang up and shook off the grass in mid-air, landing on his hooves automatically.

And just as quickly, the house was between him and the three Stand users, stomping imposingly toward all of them.

Coco tried to hold Diamond’s head still, worried that there was some risk to her skull, and finally conjuring a headband around her. The filly’s head swam, her eyes adjusting, and her muscles ached from the sudden exertion. She felt her own lack of sleep, and the looming figure of the house hardly entered her consciousness.

As the house dipped closer, Scootaloo froze its legs to the ground and tried to force air resistance against it. Surely enough, within a five-meter bubble of the filly, the building was held in place. She wiped some sweat off of her brow as she held it there.

“Wuh…?” she heard Coco’s voice behind her, and turned. The mare was drawing her hoof over her eye, and then shaking her withers back and forth, standing on her hind legs briefly before toppling backwards.

“It’s in you too!” Diamond said, and at that moment Scootaloo’s shock overtook her! The force of a whole building crashed against her defenses, and she was snatched up, still staring at Coco in horror.

On reflex, she pushed against it, and lodged herself in the doorway, pressing herself to one side. Diamond, for her part, brought out 「Misery Business」 and flung it forward at the doorway, hoping to pry Scootaloo off. The house stepped forward for her, preparing a lunge, and she struggled to move out of the way. The bands that stopped her from dancing also held her in place!

Coco felt Diamond trying to move, and loosened her own magic further, only to find herself backtrotting away from the fillies. Was he testing her range?

“It’s a disease!” Diamond shouted to Coco, struggling to strafe rightward. “His Stand makes ponies sick with something!”

Those words clearing her thoughts, Coco shook her head and threw out a hoof. She cast out a line of fabric in of the air, ready to wrap around Diamond and pull her to safety.

Only for her hoof to wave a rainbow-arc over her head, and the fabric to go flying, uselessly, to the ground.
>>
>>29940609
Diamond’s Stand leveled several close-range shots at the house, enough to hear some groaning, but not enough to slow it down. Without any further ado, it swept down and caught her, leaving her hanging in the doorway with the sharp hooves of her Stand.

Coco could only watch as both fillies struggled in the doorway, trying to think of something to pull them out with. And then the door slammed shut, smacking both of them further inside, and they were beyond Coco’s help.

With a sense of satisfaction, the house turned away from the mare, and Cheese stepped out from behind it, looking conciliatory, but mostly pleased with himself. “I’m not going to hurt them, I promise, but I can’t have you following me. 「Feel Good Inc」 will wear off once you pass out, or sooner if you have some first aid. Until then...”

He concentrated, sticking his tongue out, and then, somehow, snapped his hoof.

“That should do the trick!”

Coco felt her Stand appear next to her as she stood up on her hind legs, and they clasped forehooves. Together, they began to box-step.

Cheese turned to leave, waving goodbye and beginning to climb the house. A glowing piece of cloth, the one Coco had missed with, trailed after him, coiling for his leg.

“Ah ah ah!” he said, turning to look down at it, and then Coco started headbanging until her brain rattled. The fabric fell away.

With that, he headed on his way.

Diamond and Scootaloo picked themselves up inside of the house. It was a cozy affair, not occupied for a while but still definitively lived-in, with pictures over the mantle and everything done in finished wood. It was the sort of house a mare bought when she never expected to buy another one.

Scootaloo’s first instinct was to pull and bang on the door, and she followed it while Diamond caught her breath. She slammed against it, standing on the wood and tugging the handle with both hooves. 「Go Zone」 removed the friction from underneath of the door, and she still couldn’t open it. It was not friction keeping the door closed, but willpower!

She sighed, and tried to collect her bearings, only for the house to start shaking. Crashing sounds echoed throughout it, turning into an aggressive, banging beat. Cringing, she covered her head and waited for the house to attack.

After a few moments, she raised it again, and behaved like nothing had happened.

“What’s that noise?” she asked.

“We’re walking.” Diamond said, monotonously, now taking heavy steps toward another doorway. She kept casting glances at the bands on her legs, knowing that unless Coco did something, they would wear off soon enough, and the Stand would work her to exhaustion.

“No, it doesn’t match up.” Scootaloo said, and put an ear to the floor. Diamond listened herself, still making her way to the next room, and heard two patterns distinctly, the freestyle footsteps below and the continuous thumping. Then, as soon as it came, it faded away.

“There must be somepony else trapped here!” Scootaloo said. “They’re trying to tell us to find them!”

“I don’t think so.” Diamond said, now in the doorway.

Scootaloo came over, more casually. “Why’s th-”

And she saw. Stacked next to each other like sardines, forty foals their age, each asleep and expressionless, none squirming or adjusting, none on the verge of waking. Scootaloo rushed toward the nearest one, a yellow filly, and shook her. There was no response. Breathing harder, she tried the next one, and the next.

“It’s useless. We can’t wake anypony up inside of this house, it’s part of how it works.” Diamond said.

“Then I’d better go check out the noise and investigate,” Scootaloo said, not making eye contact. “I’ll be upstairs.”

“Wait, don’t-”

But Scootaloo was already gone.

* * *

Cheese rode atop Ms. Lemongrass, looking out onto the horizon. Ponyville wasn’t very distant, he knew from his own travels, but the hills made it harder to see in the short term.

So many things conspired to cloud the mind in the short term, he knew from experience. If not for happenstance and its long consequences, he never would’ve gained his cutie mark and become the super duper party pony planner premiere of the land. He wouldn’t have survived the vision of himself, alone without a crowd of ponies to make smile, trotting without a destination, and come back with the power of a Stand in his grasp.

No, Cheese Sandwich believed in a very simple philosophy: if willed by fate, a stupid plan could work! Strange chances and long odds existed in every life, but only those with the right drives could take them and bear the risks that they came with. To progress, one must throw caution to the wind, strike at random, behave indiscriminately! A true pony must dare to be stupid!

And so many things had nibbled at him lately, driving him towards a party planning project bigger than any other. If Sombra was defeated, or even if he wasn’t and they all had to wait a gazillion years, Ms. Lemongrass would probably keep a whole mess of kids sleeping like logs through the whole thing.

He lost his Sense the night it happened, and only gained it back several hours earlier. This was a sign, he was certain, that he was trotting on the right path! One day the foals would reinhabit Equestria, or even be returned to their families, but for now they had to be gathered like streamers or confetti, or treasure. It was their existence that decided the outcome of this giant mess!

And they’d continue to be later today, probably in mid-afternoon. No matter how the town had changed, he’d be ready to sift through the rubble and rescue the future.

He settled in for the wait.

Then something appeared around his barrel and pulled, and he slid backwards off the roof.

* * *

Scootaloo flew up the stairs, looking through the tight rooms lousy with bric-a-brac and old pony stuff. It took less than two minutes to confirm that the only ponies in the building were in the kitchen, but she searched for a little longer just to keep her distance from Diamond. There had to be some way to escape, Coco was in danger!

Suddenly, a picture-frame flew off of its perch on a shelf and smashed against a wall. Scootaloo almost suspected an attack, except it wasn’t anywhere near her. An imprecise aim, maybe?

Then a clock she’d half-registered flung itself off of the upper wall, clanging to the floor. A couple of stone pony figurines knocked together, spun, and then hit the wall again. More noises came from the rest of the upstairs, each slowly gaining in volume. Amid this sudden movement, a rhythm started to establish itself, and she stepped back and out of the room as errant paperweights and dull coverless books cascaded to carpet.

Under the rickety, jangling beat building around her, rattling the thin bones of her pegasus wings like electric toothbrushes, she could make out an epicenter. It was back the way she’d come, below her. The kitchen?

She dashed back down, finding relative peace on the plain, plush stairs, and then reemerging into a great mass-clattering. Diamond was still in the kitchen, still covered in bands and not far from where she’d been left alone, only now her Stand was stiffly throwing silverware at a single, circular window.

She noticed Scootaloo. “Good of you to come back. Anything upstairs?”

“No, but you’re setting this whole house on edge!”

“So?” Diamond asked, hurling another spoon at the glass, which rebuffed the blow without cracking. She grunted, and then her Stand started striking at it, ineffectually. “Isn’t the point to make it spit us back out somehow? We have to try something, or else we’ll end up just like them!” She pointed to the multitude of sleepers without actually looking at them.

“Not something that’ll make it try to kill us instead of putting us to sleep! If ponies could just break through a window to get out, don’t you think they’d have tried it already?!”

Around them, the crashing became more enthusiastic, more relished. Things broke in distant rooms, leaving only the winceworthy impression of damage.

“I have to try something, even if it’s something dumb! Time’s running out!”

“What do you mean?” Scootaloo asked.

Diamond waved her fetlock in the filly’s face, slowly. It glowed a faint blue, like the magic was sewn in. “「Something for Nothing」 is going to wear off if Coco gets too far away! Even if she’s following us and staying in range, these are going to go away sooner than later. Then only one of us will be left!“

Scootaloo saw that there was a point to this, which is why it puzzled even her when she next shouted, above the increasing noise around them, “Yeah? Well, why are you so interested in helping Coco anyway?!”
>>
>>29940643
Diamond stopped, her Stand withdrawing a little, still facing away toward the window. She turned to look at Scootaloo, surprised. “What?”

“You heard me! What are you really out to do here? Because I know you aren’t in it to save the world, or for friendship, or Coco, or any of that crap!”

Diamond blanched. “Sh-she saved my life. I don’t have anywhere else to go...”

Scootaloo acted like she hadn’t heard. “Wasn’t it enough that you tried to mess up everything that the Cutie Mark Crusaders ever did, without also trying to screw with the mission to stop the evil overlord of the Crystal Empire?!”

“Well, I can’t change what I did in the past, okay?! The world was a different place then! My parents didn’t care about me, and neither did anypony else, even Silver Spoon!” With that out, Diamond calmed a little. “Coco showed me that ponies really could care about each other, even if they’d never met! And that’s the truth!”

Scootaloo nearly spat on the kitchen floor. “I don’t believe that for a second! There’s no way that a pony like you could mean something like that! Coco’s my friend, do you get that? And you’re not going to manipulate her just because she doesn’t know what you are!”

Diamond looked at her, and after a few seconds she responded, voice quieter. “What am I?”

Scootaloo yelled as much as Diamond had hushed. “A bully, a wannabe tyrant, a downright evil filly, and a spoiled BRAT!”

Around them, the sounds of the house pounded toward a breakbeat crescendo, like a hundred hooves stomping in sequence, like the entirety was tearing itself apart around them in one single, violent act. Scootaloo realized that she hadn’t been breathing, and took a deep inhale, readying another thesis. Ponies didn’t really change overnight! Diamond wasn’t something completely different just because she was making nice all of a sudden to an adult. That was how she acted all of the time, and she just needed to drop the act! Drop it!

Finally, Diamond said, “I’m sorry.”

Scootaloo’s eyes tightened. “That’s not gonna-”

“No, I mean it! I’m sorry! I know I treated you horribly, and I wish I hadn’t done it! I don’t want you to hate me for it, or think that I’m trying to sabotage your plans, or Coco’s, or- or anything! I just want to help her! I want to do something with my power that actually matters!”

After the shout, neither said anything. Scootaloo’s gaze stayed level, shook with a breath, and then relented. Diamond rubbed the inside of her foreleg back and forth against her eyes, swallowing words.

“Alright. Sorry.” Scootaloo said. “Maybe I shouldn’t hold everything against you, if you’re trying to help save Equestria. But we’re not friends. I’m not forgiving you for all of the stuff you did.”

Diamond understood. “Yeah.” She blinked a few times, looking away, nodding softly. “Okay.”

Scootaloo found it hard to keep her expression static. In her mind she imagined Rainbow Dash, but she couldn’t fully make out an expression. Were her forelegs folded? Was that a line of disapproval, the motion of a head shake, a frown on her hero’s face?

And why, then, was her own conjured-up image of Coco as passively benevolent as before? And why did that pleasant, almost placid look cut into her just as much?

Diamond’s ears perked up. “Did you hear that?”

Scootaloo shook her head. “What?”

“The noise. It’s died down.” She was right. As Scootaloo listened, it faded away completely.

“Do you think… we did that?” she asked.

Worry entered Diamond’s face.

* * *

Cheese landed on the ground on his head, but was no worse for the wear. His hooves were under him from a lifetime of well-executed pratfalls and recoveries, and he was back up before he could inspect the white sheet tied around him like a longer version of his vest. His eyes ran up its length to the Stand holding it, and the user still attached.

Locked together, they continued to boxstep, as best as they could. But now they were in mid-air, bouncing. Beneath them was a minimalist, one-color trampoline, and several more beyond, each quickly dissolving into the air.

“You should really learn how to cut loose and just let yourself dance already,” he said, and then took a deep preparatory breath.

“I’m not going to stop until you give back my friends, and I stop what you’re doing to Equestria!” Geez Louise, this one was as serious as a heart attack and twice as shrill. He’d met a fair share of fuddy-duddies, stuffed shirts and sticks in the mud in your travels, but never somepony who would build a series of magic trampolines just to ruin somepony else’s party.

“I’m sorry you feel that way,” he said, as politely as he could while he was limbering up, taking a few different stretches.

“If this were really about helping the foals, why wouldn’t you take their families with them? Why take ones who don’t want to go, but leave me outside?” she asked, and then, harder, “Or is there something my Stand can do that could stop your house?”

Cheese sighed. “Ms. Lemongrass isn’t mine. I found her, but she’s a sovereign pony. And no, she just doesn’t get along well with adults. It winds up hurting them to stay very long.”

Coco looked at him, levelly. “You’re still not going to get away with this.”

“Oh? What about Ms. Lemongrass?” he smiled. And Coco saw the house, still moving, a good distance away already. The enchantments she’d cast before, on Diamond, flickered.

She grit her teeth and focused more energy onto them, sapping away the rest of the trampolines except the one bouncing her into the air. It was pointless to keep the others around anyway; there would be no retreating from this position. Especially not since she’d caught him.

“In fact, I can make it even trickier!” Having cracked his neck and stretched out, he spun in a chestnut whirlwind, and suddenly he and the white fabric were separate, the latter drifting to the ground like a handkerchief. “Dojyaaan!”

Coco stared.

“You should’ve seen me do that for a wedding table. It was a smash!” Cheese said, and then tapped into 「Feel Good Inc」 again.

The mare and her Stand both kicked out back hooves the next time they landed, spinning at an angle away from their little platform of safety.

* * *

“A house that works on emotions?” Scootaloo asked, mulling the idea over in her head.

“No. It’s not just doing that. It was causing damage when we tried to damage it, but not to us. It was just…” Diamond trailed off.

“Making a bigger version play out.”

“Yeah. Amplifying us.”

“So, what, if we do anything to hurt the house or get upset, the whole thing starts turning into dance music?” Scootaloo glanced at the ceiling.

Diamond put a hoof to her muzzle, thinking. “You’re right, it’s like it’s turning what we do into a party. It would make sense why it would get along with a pony who’s devoted to parties.”

“But how do we use that to escape?” Scootaloo asked. “I mean, if we just stay calm, we’ll just last a little longer, not get outside!”

“Well, breaking things doesn’t work, and neither does panicking. Maybe if we’re really nice, it’ll let us back out.”

“I think we’re a little late there.”

Diamond scowled to herself. “But there must be some way...”

Scootaloo felt herself starting to panic, her blood pressure increasing, her heartbeat becoming more noticeable and her wings eager to flap and fidget away from their tucked-in position. She was about ready to throw herself into a wall to get out, and she had to resist the need.

“Maybe we should try… a tea party, or something like that. Make it calm enough that it’ll just open the door for us,” she said.

「Misery Business」 tore open cabinets, revealing dust. “There’s no tea around here.”

Scootaloo, who had never participated in a tea party in her life, opened some nearby cabinets of her own and produced a pair of small china cups. “We can pretend. That’s what tea parties are all about, right?”

And then her hooves flung themselves upwards, and the cups went flying. They crashed, pulverizing themselves on impact with the floor.

“Uh, alright, I can still-” Scootaloo turned toward the cabinet again, and found herself backing away from it even as her hooves moved forward. She looked down at them in horror, then at Diamond, and then back. “But - but I didn’t touch you!”

“His Stand must be airborne!” Diamond said, only just realizing it herself. “It got to you because we were close together for so long!”

Scootaloo’s wings flapped, and she started to drift out of the room and away from her ally, but in the doorway she stopped. The not-very-reassuring but sturdy pincers of 「Misery Business」 held her tightly and deposited her back on the ground, keeping her in place for a while longer.

It didn’t stop her hooves from moving against the floor, kicking and trotting in revolving patterns. Behind her, the sound of hoofbeats echoed through the house, and began to coalesce into a rising melody.

Diamond struggled to keep her still, and then stared, shocked, at her own fetlock.

The white band was disintegrating right in front of her.

* * *

Coco rolled with the punch in mid-air, generating a long rolling handle of fabric and a triangular kite atop it, curling up under her hooves, with her Stand clutching below like a spider. The hang-glider took her closer to Cheese, until he forced her to throw her front hooves into the air, and it fell away. She made a parachute, and he kept his distance.

When she landed, she threw out a hoof to point at him, still mirrored by 「Something for Nothing」. “Your Stand doesn’t have any defensive capabilities. If I can hit you just one, you’ll be finished for good!”

He smirked, and then jumped out of the way of the hangglider as it spun in the air and crashed where he’d been standing. She said nothing as it shredded itself back into oxygen.

She and her Stand continued the box-step, now that they were on the ground, but the parachute began to blanket over them, providing cover. Before it obscured her vision she saw Cheese pulling out a small cannon from nowhere, and then everything was cream.

From underneath the lumpy fabric, Coco came quickly galloping into the open air and towards Cheese. Behind, he could still make out the lump of her Stand in the parachute, standing still and waiting for orders. Coco’s body was covered with yet more fabric, an opaque hazmat suit without a single flaw or opening, encasing the entire body except for some sort of combination helmet and mourning veil.

As if a measure like that would help an infection that was already present! He fired his party cannon, blasting her backwards in her tracks with an explosive burst of confetti, and then forced her to start doing the macarena.

Back under the parachute, her Stand followed through the motions with her. She tried to inch closer to him between the motions, and then he forced her to do the worm, and she wriggled against the ground at his hooves.

There. That was the final trap he would need to set, the final position he needed to shove her into so that she wouldn’t come up with some new way to throw a wrench in his plans. He’d be able to catch up to the house in due time, and then he’d move on to greener pastures and brighter hopes for the future.

Now, just to finish her…

Cheese picked up the party cannon and held it overhead, trotting to her on his hind legs and keeping an eye on her Stand. It still squirmed pointlessly under the parachute.

“Looks like this is your canon ending,” he said.

Then, without further ado, he brought it down onto her head.

Scootaloo struggled to stop moving as Diamond’s strong Stand kept her pinned. Even it was starting to twitch as the bands flaked away into air, returning to dust.

Desperately she searched for something happy, something that wasn’t just noise or shouting or fear or sickness, and her eyes were drawn only to the sleeping foals they’d shouted in the company of.

She summoned 「Go Zone」 to hold her own hooves to the ground, and Diamond’s too. It worked, for a moment, before it started to twitch too, and then it was beginning to pose and step in mid-air, the uninhibited version of Scootaloo’s willing imprisonment. The friction became harder to hold with so much movement, and with the range bobbing up and down weirdly she lost her concentration.

Okay, then, a party. Not a tea party. A birthday party? What kind of parties even were there? She hadn’t realized that her life was going to depend on this information one day, or she might have asked Pinkie for some pointers.

With one band gone, and the others slipping away, Diamond’s hoof started tapping. Scootaloo felt the corresponding hoof of the Stand squeezing against her wing involuntary, and she closed her eyes.

While she waited for motion and exhaustion, she heard the breathy, measured sounds of crying. Even as the music returned, Diamond was making small staccato sobs under her breath.

Scootaloo shut her eyes tighter, and tensed up for the moment she lost control completely.

Cheese felt a mix of satisfaction and revulsion when the veiled head of the suit wrinkled at the edges and fell inwards. Either way, he was finished with the cannon, and he junked it, tossing it in a random direction.

Then he prepared to play a grand game of tag with Ms. Lemongrass. Surely he’d need to do some serious hopping to get to Ponyville at the same time, but there was always the option to launch himself in something. Not to mention the incredible potential of those trampolines, if they didn’t all vanish back into thin air!

Just then, something closed around his whole back left leg! Until then, he hadn’t felt or noticed it, so clouded with his feeling of victory! His way forward had been overtaken by a single, determined dressmaker!

The hazmat suit had an opening freshly made on the veil, and it was slowly swallowing him. The interior was, in actuality, empty!

“Th-that’s impossible!” he said, and he felt silly for the words as soon as they arrived. “But how!?” He rolled it over for a moment, and then it came to him. “Under the parachute!”

In that moment, Coco had the opportunity to create confusion about which was the real pony and which was the Stand! If she or her Stand had run out, they would’ve been ineffectually trapped by their dancing. The hazmat suit which seemed to have Coco in it was really empty, a simple trap. What he’d thought was her Stand was really her, truly being affected, while the suit did its best impression through her magic.

He turned as it absorbed another leg, taking full form around him. Panicking, he tried to tear at it, to think of some way to break her concentration, but it was too late. He spun again, and it spun with him the whole way.

It swiftly enveloped his head, and then shut completely, and there was no outside air. He tried to force Coco to headbang against the ground, to simply smash her skull, but each hit she made landed on a plush cushion.

Eventually, breathing harder, sweating and overall woozy, he gave up. “F-「Feel Good Inc」...”

The Stand retracted, and Coco found herself able to stand up again. She did so, emerging from the fabric above her, which began to fray immediately without her touch. She made her way over to the stallion, hovering an inch off the ground under her pseudo-telekinesis, and she took a deep breath.

“「SOMETHING FOR NOTHING」!” she cried out, and the Stand was next to her, already lashing out with its hooves. Its kicks careened him through the plate-glass window of consciousness, and only with him out for the count did she let her creations fully diminish.

Then, for a minute, she stood looking down at his prone form. Sighing at herself, she increased her concentration and wrapped him in a sheet she could levitate.

Then, she went back towards Ponyville, in the direction of her wards.

...

No, Scootaloo knew in her gut that something wasn’t right. What was it…?

The noise. Not the sound getting louder behind them, which was different than before, not swelling up to full volume like earlier. The sound of Diamond crying.

It wasn’t that.

Scootaloo opened her eyes and read her expression. Relaxed, open-eyed, even smug.

Diamond Tiara was looking at the disintegrating band on her forehead and laughing as her hooves began to kick around. No fear or despair existed in her features!

“What? What is it?!” she asked, and then as the music grew quieter and quieter, she realized. Then she couldn’t help but snort herself. Was it really that stupid?

As 「Misery Business」 let up, she let the dance carry her away.

And the two fillies celebrated, fervently and honestly, the gradual deactivation of a Stand.

Throughout the house, the music died down. The legs roving on their way suddenly wobbled, and then retracted like snails to electric fences. The house’s magic was disrupted, its Stand powers diminishing, if only temporarily.

The two took their opportunity, moving whatever hooves they had available toward the door. Scootaloo slid both of them along, and Diamond used her Stand to pull at it. This time, it opened with a minimum of complaint.

Then, before their good luck could run out, Scootaloo froze the door in place and leapt out into the grass. Diamond followed her close behind, the last of the bands now truly gone. The two rolled into the grass, still pirouetting, but in a good mood despite their exhaustion.

Then, the disease disappeared from them, and the world seemed to clear as they were capable of stillness once again.

After a while sitting in the grass, missing their sleeping bags and the night sky, Scootaloo smile and said, “That was a pretty smart move back there.” She said it only because she felt somepony needed to.

Diamond smiled herself. “Well, without you, I never would’ve seen that chance.”

Scootaloo nodded, mostly to herself. It felt good to be an instrumental part in saving somepony’s life, she really had to admit it. And maybe, if she could admit that, then she could also admit that Diamond Tiara could have something noble and self-sacrificing in her after all.

Maybe.

When Coco arrived, with Cheese in tow, they’d all gotten a good walk further away from Canterlot. Removing the foals, still sleeping, was another task altogether, but accomplished succintly and simply.

Behind them all, for a few minutes at least, the house sat peaceably.

Deep in the Royal Archives, a single student still studied, searching like a lighthouse in long sweeping motions as she rambled down the shelves. She would run, but that would be loud, and she was trying to avoid that more than anything.

So much had happened recently that she hadn’t been able to document, analyze, graph, report. She was an important member of unicorn academia, a prodigy for her age to be sure, and yet this had thrown her completely for a loop!

Star-Swirl would’ve known how to react to all of this. But then again, Sombra and Star-Swirl were contemporaries, so he probably had a better sense of the tyrant’s history. Deep time had already conspired to take away most of that sort of information, and despite her attempts to learn Pony Latin, Griffon Latin and even the much-simplified Dragon Latin, she was still stuck with the same run-of-the-mill vocabularies as all of the other day-to-day metropolitan ponies.

But, but! There! She saw what she was looking for, finally, recognizing it from the long-ago week spent reading the table of contents of every unforbidden book in the Archives. It was bound in black, but the spine was special, fluctuating in and out with ruffled edges like some kind of deep-ocean worm.

She looked at the gold-embossed font of the cover, which had no art on it. This was a serious book, with a serious three-line title like Relic Hoarder’s An Esotericist’s Guidebook to Those Things Which Must Never Be Bargained For or Won. She cracked it open, flipping fussily and looking to reawaken old memories.

There! She found it, overshot it, cut back a sheaf of pages to find it again. One of the only illustratiions, an odd-looking piece of jewelry forged in the same colors as the dark King himself. An artifact of incredible power, without which he could never be complete.

“The Alicorn Amulet,” Moondancer read aloud, and shuddered.

I've almost run out of compliments to give you man, this adventure just gets harder and harder to top the more you post it and each post tops the previous one. I think I'll go so far as to say this is the most well-written story in the whole thread right now, and the entire confrontation between both Coco and Cheese and DT and Scoots was incredible. That was some serious Part 6-8 shit right there.

Nice job, Ditherer.

My favourite thing in jjba is how Araki makes Dio a character from part 1 still be relevant by part 6 so in the space of 124 years the infamous Dio Brando or DIO still has as much of a main antagonist role in parts 2,3,4,5,6 as he did in part 1 (mainly part 1, 3 and 6 but he does have some involvement in the events and story of 2, 4 and 5)

>>29940720
Cool episode Ditherer. Picturing Coco doing box step with her stand while chasing Cheese Sandwich on trampolines is now one of my top moments in the story.
I liked Cheese, the way he appeared, used his powers, got tje upper hand, we saw a glimpse of his motives from his point of view, and then the turnabout with the protagonist were handled great. Still, I feel unclear about his motives, like he was doing something wrong but with the best of intentions, but I dunno, perhaps we'll see more of it or the consecuences of his actions later.
Also, was his stand supposed to be called [Get Down With The Sickness] at some point? I know you used that one for Limestone, but somehow in my mind it does seem to fit with the theme.
Oh, and I loved the name used on each post's picture.
Keep it up man!

Not necessarily. I think he meant do what you feel is the best way to flesh out your story, and don't rely on other stories or authors to give you ideas. Only you know for certain how your character acts and behaves in certain situations, and all you really need to do is place them in that situation.

This Stand's been set aside for Cheese since I took Coco up again, name and all, although 「Down With the Sickness」 would definitely fit it. My next best would've been 「Blue Haze」.

Care Root’s Bizarre Adventure, Episode 10: The Weeknd

SATURDAY
>Be Silver Spoon, early morning on a Saturday.
>This is one of the only times you get the TV to yourself, while everyone older than you sleeps.
>Or it would be, if you weren’t already needed somewhere.
>Being a Stand user is tough work.
>You’re still at Diamond’s house from last night, having turned the evening into a pretty strong sleepover.
>She told her dad you’d both wanted to come here instead after you missed the bus.
>It was the first time you ever saw her explain herself to Mr. Rich.
>He looked a lot more worried than you remember him being.
>He was nice to you, of course, although...
>Well, he tried to shoot you, and he looked around the same, so.
>But you’re over it.
>You’ve been shot at twice, now, and you’re starting to get used to it.
>Now that you’ve woken up, checked your phone and got the message, you send out an ETA.
>Then you get out of the mini-bed they wheel out to save you a sleeping bag, and stretch.
>You try to do it loudly enough that Diamond wakes up, but she doesn’t.
>Should’ve known.
>You wonder if she still dreams about all of the different versions of herself, like you saw.
>For some reason, it doesn’t sound likely.
>She’s got a Stand now, although she’s had a hard time trying to quietly tell you what it does.
>Probably she’s getting cooler and cooler under pressure now.
>You’re glad to see your best friend get stronger, and rest after an impossible victory.
>But.
>You nudge one of her shoulders, exactly enough to wake her up.
>She stirs, dreams cracking and turning back into void.
>Her eyes open already looking at you.
>”What time is it?”
“Seven. I need a car.”
>Diamond blinks at that, like details will hit her if she mulls it over a little more.
“It’s to help out Care. And Trixie.”
>She nods, then stops.
>”Trixie? What’s she got to do with it?”
>You shrug.
>>
>>29956283
>Be Diamond Tiara, staring out a tinted window.
>Getting mesmerized by the familiar parking meters and too-tall buildings.
>Being driven to CHS on a Saturday dampens your mood a little.
>Not that school stresses you out or anything, you’d rather be there than at home.
>At least, until recently.
>Your grades weren’t fantastic, but they were only as bad as your tutors would let you get away with.
>You weren’t thrilled by the occasional visit to Luna’s office, but it didn’t hurt much.
>There’s just a time and place for things like that, an etiquette to scheduling.
>No one wants to go to high school at 7:30 on a Saturday.
>”Diamond?”
>Silver’s next to you, not looking out of a window.
>You stop and turn to her.
“Yes?”
>”Why didn’t you tell your dad about your Stand?”
>That’s...
>A good question.
>You could say that you just didn’t want to be punished for lying about the sleepover, but that’s not all of it.
>You frown, and try to answer her.
“I don’t know how he’s going to react. I’m worried it’ll end in him locking me up in my room with a bunch of bodyguards, or something like that.”
>She doesn’t say anything.
“I’m going to tell him, I am! Just not yet. ...Plus I don’t want him getting involved in this if he doesn’t have to.”
>Your Dad’s done a lot for you recently, and much more in the long term.
>Silver doesn’t run to hers whenever she needs something.
>Her parents are there to love and support her, but not carry her through life.
>You can’t use your family name as a raft through stormy waters.
>At least, not while you have other options.
>”What about the gem?”
>Damn, it’s still in your room.
>It might have been a good idea to give it to Care, actually.
>But you’re not in the mood to admit you made a mistake there.
“We should keep it where it is for now. No one should be able to break into my room and take it.”
>”...But are we going to tell him about it?”

>Well, of course.
“Why wouldn’t we?”
>She fidgets a little.
>”Because he’ll probably tell Derpy.”
>Oh.
>You think to yourself.
>Could you make up some excuse that would make the whole thing seem less dangerous?
>No, because then Anonymous might show up again, and Care wouldn’t know to watch out for him.
>When you don’t answer after a while, she hangs her head a little.
>A girl on death row.


>Be Silver.
>You get out of the car, parked in front of Canterlot High.
>Tromping up the sidewalk, half-expecting Derpy to be around at any minute.
>But it’s just Care and Trixie, nonchalant in front of the school, eyes peeled for cars.
>His own is one of the only ones in the lot, along with the ones that never seem to leave.
>Trixie has something metal jutting out of her leg, but no real wound or blood.
>You activate 「Tin Cup Chalice」 while you walk, and the wall opens up behind her.
>She turns to it, startled, eyes passing around the opening like she’s checking for traps.
>Diamond follows behind you, still quiet.
>You arrive and put on a pleasant smile.
“Just step through and I’ll handle the rest, Trixie.”
>She gazes, appraises you, and then enters.
>The curly hunk of metal enters your awareness proper.
>You close your eyes and feel out its exact shape.
>It’s lodged straight through her, alright.
>But the skin’s not broken.
>What sort of Stand could do something like that to someone, and why was she fighting it?
>”Care.”
>”Diamond.”
>You let it start to degenerate.
>Then realize you’ll be letting rusty metal into her body if you do.
>So you speed up the process.
>You’re worried about what’ll happen, but if you’re right, she’ll be fine.
>>
>>29956323
>In a flash, it disappears, and you suppress the shockwave as best you can.
>Then you stop the process, leaving the weapon unreformed.
>Trixie pulls her leg up, grunting in pain and hopping on one foot, and then sets it back down.
>Taking deep breaths, making fists, she stretches it back out.
>And then, finally, she speaks.
>“Trixie thanks you, Freshman.”
>There’s not a trace of malevolence in the way she says that.
>She really means it, or else she’s really bad at this.
>Either way, you reverse your face’s souring and turn to Care, neutral.
“What’s going on?”

SUNDAY
>Be Derpy, out.
>Yesterday wasn’t as relaxing as you’d hoped.
>Silver and you aren’t talking very much right now.
>”You can’t stop me from helping! I’m not going to be dead weight!”
>Care and Trixie only showed up for a minute with Silver and a cut-down explanation.
>You sent your Stand out to gather the stone in that area.
>She seemed really interested in getting you to scavenge for all of them, but…
>Well, you need to know where they are or what they look like to do that.
>Otherwise you’re just a jewel thief.
>And, well.
>What’s all of this about, really?
>Is Care really getting involved?
>And if he is, how should you feel about that?
>It’s better than being twirled around on someone else’s strings, of course.
>”Of course I did! Would you have let me do it for a second if I HADN’T lied?!”
>At least, you thought so.
>You’re just worried about him, really worried.
>He shouldn’t be risking his life to keep you afloat, he doesn’t deserve that.
>Neither do you.
”No, Mom, it’s nothing. We’re just, uh... you know. Dumb argument.”
>...
>Your walk’s led you out of the neighborhoods and back into the sprawl.
>A car stops beside you.
>It’s your dad’s.
>The window rolls down, and Golden's driving.
>Her eyes are as intense as always, but she has an easygoing smile.
>”Hop in.”

>She takes you downtown, further than you’d expect, and you stop at a little Indian place.
>It’s a single room affair, with enough booths for about ten people, but it’s close to empty.
>Golden orders, and you order, and your food comes out, and you eat.
>At some point during it, she finally speaks up.
>”Silver told me you had it out. Told me all of the things she did, for Care Root.”
>You grimace.
>Almost unknowingly, you trace a finger aganst the wedge of lemon in your water.
>”She went through a lot.”
“Yeah. I know.”
>That’s why you yelled at her.
>In that same position, you wouldn’t expect to have made it out yourself.
>You definitely wouldn’t have gone in without any plan because the Crusaders told you so!
“It’s not Care’s fault.”
>”I didn’t say it was. I don’t think it’s Care’s fault at all.”
>That stops you.
“You don’t?”
>”No, he didn’t know anything about it until afterwards. For all anyone knows, the idea could’ve been planted in her head by a Stand!”
>That thought makes you uncomfortable.
>The whole way she’s acting is nothing like you expected.
>You thought you’d be discussing ways to make sure Silver stayed within earshot at all times.
>Has your sister changed?
“Are you asking me to go easier on her?”
>She nods without contesting your wording.
>”I think she’s proven that she can take care of herself.”
>What?!
“She almost got shot in the face by someone people haven’t seen in months, and you think that we should pat her on the back for making a good decision?”
>She holds up a hand to placate you.
>”You’re right to protect her, but not like that. If you hold her back, she’ll just get more reckless.”
“She’s my little sister!”
>”And you’re MY little sister, Derpy. That doesn’t mean I get to control your life much.”

“This isn’t about controlling anyone, it’s about stopping Silver from doing something she can’t come back from because she thinks she’s invincible! There are guns out there, Golden!”
>You realize how high you’ve raised your voice.
>The two girls who came in after you are trying not to look in your direction.
>Golden sees them too.
>She leans in a little closer, and lowers her voice.
>”Do you think she doesn’t know that? I nearly had a heart attack when she saved her friend, and she had a gun pointed to her head then, too!”
>You...
>You sigh.
“I wasn’t there, I didn’t know everything that happened.”
>”Well, she lived! Not only that, she stopped everyone in that room from dying. She’s tough enough to have a Stand, and we both need to put some more trust in her.”
“I’m not going to let her just… just go off on her own like that!”
>”Of course not. But… you have to be there to catch her without her realizing it. That’s the secret of being an older sister.”
>You… don’t think you’d be very good at that.
>Even if your Stand was more reliable, and better at long-range defense...
>Golden reaches out to grab your hand.
>”I’ll be here to help her, too. And so will Diamond, and Care. We need to give her a little bit of a hard time so she knows not to charge into things, but we also need her on our side.”
>She looks at you, and you break eye contact.
>If she hadn’t grown up with you, she might not have noticed.
>She presses, gently.
>”Can’t we do that?”
“...Yeah, okay.”
>You let out a small breath.
“Okay.”
>”Um, excuse me, Miss...”
>You realize someone’s standing next to the table.
>It’s one of the two girls, around your age.
>Golden stops holding your hand, and you both sit up, sizing her up.
>Yellow, pink hair, freckles, wearing a bad-fitting smile.
>“Is your name ‘Derpy’?”
>>
>>29956415
>She’s falsetto, downright cooing.
>It’s the voice of a half-dozen bad teachers making bad first impressions based on your bad eye.
>You resist the impulse to twitch and tell her off.
>Golden speaks up.
>”Who wants to know?”
>The new girl doesn’t look at her.
>”We would really, really appreciate it if you’d come with us. There are a few little boo-boos we need to clear up, and you’d be an awfully big help.”
>Her expression does nothing to mask the menace in those words.
“Why’s that?”
>With the hand that’s under the table, you grope for one of your Stand’s gifts.
>”Well, we’ve heard that you’re good at getting back things that are stolen, and someone took off with some very valuable cut rubies belonging to our mother.”
>She hooks a thumb over her shoulder at the other girl, who looks up and smiles too.
>She’s red-skinned, with hair colored like lemon-lime soda packaging.
>Your uneasiness increases.
>How did they find you?
>You’ve never been to this restaurant before.
>”「Fineshrine」.”
>Golden summons her Stand under her breath.
>The tree springs up a half-foot away from her, and she flinches, stepping to one side.
>Then she looks at Golden, and at you, and sighs.
>Her face darkens, like she lost twenty hours of sleep in a second.
>”Look. Come with us or we’re going to make things very painful for you.”
>You meet her eyes again, and this time there’s just irritation.
>They’re open much wider, now, to take all of you in.
>The girl in the booth gets up and treads closer.
>Did she get startled by the tree?
>You can’t remember, but she must be a Stand user.
>What interest would she have with you otherwise?
>You consider playing dumb, then choose against it.
“What do you really want? What are the stones for?”
>She doesn’t answer you, but the other one does.

>”We don’t set the goals, lady.”
>She sounds like an 80s rocker stereotype.
>Now that she’s closer, you can see the giant headphones more clearly.
>They look like earmuffs, but they aren’t playing anything you can hear.
>The angry yellow one speaks again.
>”We won’t hurt you if you come with us.”
”Where?”
>”Wherever we SAY!”
>She slams a fist onto the table.
>You breathe harder as she looks down on you.
>”「Fineshrine」!”
>The tree whips a bough around towards the back of her head.
>She doesn’t turn around, just grunting the name.
>”「Message Man」.”
>Suddenly it catches on fire, recoiling.
>Golden cries out as it starts smoking and tearing into the outer bark.
>A Stand that sets things on fire?
>You don’t wait for a chance to test that theory.
”「Spinal Tap」!”
>You crack the popsicle stick in half, and your Stand materializes from under the table.
>The two girls take a half-step back as it draws up to its full height, and then you stand up and fling your water onto the fire.
>”Tch. 「Message Man」!”
>Her Stand appears, only a little shorter than yours.
>Its face is a curved black screen, like a biker helmet.
>The rest of it’s a series of black strips separated by the sort of little knobs watches are set with.
>In the center of its otherwise gray-chrome body is the red shape of a heart symbol.
>It’s split vertically down the middle by an arrow, pointing up at its featureless face.
>「Spinal Tap」 launches a volley of punches straight at it, and it braces itself.
“AD-AD-AD-AD-”
>Its arms block the first few, but then you adjust and your Stand picks up speed.
“ADADADADADADAD--!”
>It’s knocked backwards into the nearest booth, and the owner goes flying onto an empty table.
>You look at Golden, who’s already up.
>Both of you dash for the exit.
>>
>>29956448
>As you pass her, you hear the red girl fuming.
>”「Lemon Demon」!”
>Something small, flat and impish appears, yellow-green, designed to glide and hover in the air.
>You don’t get a good look at it, because you’re already heading for the door.
>But the girl picks up speed like she runs marathons in her free time, leaping and cartwheeling the rest of the way to the door.
>She slides and spins around, only to see 「Spinal Tap」 in front of her.
>Her small Stand tries to hold back the punches, but it only takes three to exhaust her.
>You throw her backwards, stumbling through the doors, clutching at one arm.
>You walk outside onto the street.
“Who are you working for? Why do they need these gems so badly?”
>She frowns.
>”Hell if I know, man! I’m just here following orders. Once I capture you, and we get all of the stones, you’ll probably just go home.”
“You’re not going to capture me.”
>She smiles at that, and cracks her neck.
>”We’ll find out. Now, let’s see who can really punch the fastest.”
>You sigh, but 「Spinal Tap」 rises to the occasion.
>Behind, you can here the other one getting back up.
>The girl shouts over your shoulder.
>”Leave this one to me, Sour!”
>Golden enters, summoning up 「Fineshrine」 and sending something winged toward “Sour”.
>”You’d better stay down, lady, unless you want to pay the full price for bothering my sister.”
>No answer.
>You let out a series of punches with 「Spinal Tap」 while you try to keep track of time.
>It’s been out for more than a minute, but not quite two yet...
>Thankfully, you brought a handful of gifts with you this time.
>After being caught empty-handed, you never want to risk it again.
>But one of them could be waiting for an opening while you switch.
>You reach for your second popsicle stick when you realize that you’re Stand’s not hitting her.
>>
>>29956468
>She’s hitting it with an even faster barrage of punches!
>Her small Stand isn’t even throwing them, it’s perched in the air beside her head!
>As her fists rebound against your Stand, you can see they’ve started to glow with some yellow-green aura all their own.
>She smirks.
>”Looks like that’s the end of your Stand. Rest in peace.”
>She points straight at you as 「Spinal Tap」 fades out.
>You grit your teeth and pull out another stick.
>It’s already broken.
>Did it snap in your pocket when you weren’t paying attention?!
>You reach in for another, and then the bubble wrap, and the toothpick, and the folded-up sheet of notebook paper.
>They’re all shredded in your pocket, just tatters.
“Th-that’s impossible!”
>Her hardset eyes and aggressive grin double.
>”Not for the Shadowbolts!”
>...Shadowbolts?
>Weren’t they the Crystal Prep students playing in the Friendship Games?
>Why would they be here?
>”She’s right!”
>The shout comes from behind you, where Sour’s standing over Golden, laying on the ground.
>What on Earth is happening?!
>Golden speaks from under Sour’s boot.
>”She tripped me… without touching me.”
>Sour chuckles, then the sweetness and light voice.
>”Oh, you’re right there. The trip was meant for someone else.”
>Shifting, darker, gleeful.
>”You just took the fall.”
>The obsidian, spiky bird, still airborne, swoops for her.
>Without her even registering it, 「Message Man」’s fist obliterates it.
>>
>>29956480
>Nice:
>”Why don’t I tell you what just happened, so you don’t feel like fighting to the death.”
>You stare at her, trying to calculate under the pressure of seeing your older sister in such a defeated position.
>”My Stand lets me push events into the future, wherever I like them to be. The fire you put out really came from a match I lit this morning. The fall was an honest mistake when I sat on a bench a little earlier and put my legs too far out into the sidewalk. And earlier today, I took a bunch of small things and broke them apart all at once.”
>Malevolent, proud:
>“So all of your secret weapons are useless. Time’s run out for the first one, so it’s up for all of them. And even if it weren’t, my Stand can just absorb your attacks. I only had to keep you occupied long enough for it to disappear.”
>She crosses her arms and looks smug.
>”Now. Time to go.”
>You look from her to the door, where the other girl’s standing, hands on hips.
>She’s right, all of your gifts are useless.
>How, though?
>How could they know all of this, and be so well-prepared?
>How could two Stand users you’ve never met understand your power so well?!
>A voice cuts through your rising panic.
>”「FINESHRINE」!”
>Then, a flurry of motion.
>The tree releases all of its birds, flapping angrily in concentric circles.
>In the chaos, she pushes herself up, knocking Sour off-balance and back into the booth.
>Golden throws her phone at you.
>You stoop and catch it.
>”I was going to make you and Silver make up after this. She’s at the library. Get there!”
>With those words, her birds swarm past you, their wingbeats mussing your hair, and hit the other girl.
>She stumbles herself and tries to bat them away, her Stand blocking the beaks from in front of her face.
>The way out is open.
>”No!”
>”Run, Derpy!”
>“「MESSAGE MAN」!”
>THUMP!
>You’re already outside.

>The library’s to your right, a few blocks down.
>But you run left.
>Towards the car.
>Golden had the keys, but the doors don’t lock.
>Quickly, you throw yourself into the passenger seat and shut the door behind you.
>Where, where is it?
>”Golden, are you alright?”
>That voice...
>It’s faint, but it’s Silver’s!
>You look down at the phone you forgot you were carrying.
>It must have been dialing her number when your sister threw it to you.
>You put it to your ear, still rummaging quickly between the seats.
”Silver!”
>”Derpy?”
>Shock, then silence.
“Silver. I’m in trouble. Golden gave me her phone.”
>You find it!
>Figures she would take it off of the dashboard where your father keeps it...
>Golden’s so self-conscious sometimes.
>”Trouble? What- what’s happening?”
>Fear.
>The door opens behind you, but you’re already most of the way out of the passenger seat.
>You scramble into the driver’s, only to immediately see the lemon-lime girl standing outside.
>She opens the driver-side door and cracks her knuckles.
>You scramble back toward the passenger’s side, only to find Sour leaning in.
>”Derpy? Derpy, what’s going on? Who’s there?”
>Sour leers at you.
>「Message Man」’s fist appears next to her shoulder, and lets out a single punch.
>You put up your hands in front of your face.
>In one is a pair of fuzzy dice.
>A gift for your dad.
>The punch pulverizes it, and sends you flying into the other girl.
>She catches you around your armpits like a wrestler, both of you sliding backwards into the street.
>She stops much sooner than she has any right to, completely avoiding any errant cars.
>”This would have been so much easier if you’d just cooperated.”
>And then, she sees her friend go flying back herself.
>From that pair of fuzzy dice, 「Spinal Tap」 emerges into the car.
>>
>>29956524
>It climbs out, not wasting time, bearing down on Sour while she’s knocked down.
>You make no move to bring it closer to yourself.
>Sour’s already dodging hits by saving them for later.
>One.
>Two.
>Three...
>And then the fourth punch gets through!
>The barrage opens up after that, some limit to her Stand being reached.
>”Shit.”
>Your assailant spits, and her Stand punches you in the stomach.
>It’s a strong jab, and it leaves a spiderweb of pain in your abdomen.
>But then she lets go, and dashes for Sour.
>You run away from both of them, heading towards the library.
>「Spinal Tap」 will keep them occupied for another ninety seconds, which is all the lead you’ll get.
>Around you, you see candystores, bakeries, knick-knack places, antiqueries, thrift stores.
>You catch her up to speed while you run.

>Two lucky crosswalks later, you can see Silver standing by the side of the library, phone between her shoulder and ear.
>She sees you coming, and then she waves.
>”Hey!”
>You wave back, and then she points.
>”No, behind you!”
>You look over your shoulder.
>The red girl, with messed-up hair and a couple bruises standing out against her skin, runs for you.
>The aura covers her legs down to her shoes, and she’s sprinting at you without breaking a sweat.
>Silver ducks behind the library and hangs up.
>You have to get to her, or you’re doomed!
>You put on more speed, but she only gains on you faster.
>Is that it…?
>You can tell from here that she’ll get to you before you can.
>You prepare yourself.
>Then you duck and throw out a leg to one side.
>>
>>29956578
>She registers too late that you’ve stopped running.
>The aura burns strong, and she collides with your leg.
>Tripping, she flies a solid few feet and then hits the sidewalk.
>You stand up, seeing Sour jogging for you in the distance.
>Nodding to yourself, you get up and keep running.
>Lemon-lime’s already pushing herself to her feet, and you kick her on your way.
>She rolls, and then she’s out of your peripheral vision.
>C’mon, Silver...
>”「LEMON DEMON」!”
>Her Stand makes her much faster than you are, whatever it does.
>You hope you can overcome that speed boost…!
>But then she’s overtaking you, side by side, neck and neck!
>She doesn’t even hit you as she starts to pass ahead.
>Yes, that’s it!
>That’s the secret of her Stand!
>You take a deep breath, and stop completely.
>As soon as you stand stock-still, her aura wears off.
>She’s just walking.
>She looks at her feet, then back at you, as you level a punch at her.
>It catches her off-guard, and she gets knocked down again.
>Her Stand needs you to be doing something for her to do it faster.
>It’s why she can’t hit you while she’s racing you with it, you’d slow down!
>She needs you to be running!
>The only problem is that you can’t reach Silver first without running.
>Sour’s still coming, much closer now.
>You keep moving.
>If you can trip her up again, you can keep her on the ground long enough to make it the rest of the way.
>You run until you sense her about to pass you again.
>Then you pile on speed, reaching the front of the library.
>Sidestep, throwing out an arm, fist out, to clothesline her...
>In a blur, she guitar-slides under it.
>And then, swiftly, she’s reached the corner.

>Still kneeling, she turns to you.
>”I know your sis’s hiding back here. She might be able to keep that up, for a minute, but she won’t be able to run from me. This, right now, is your last chance to save her.”
>Her yellow eyes meet yours like a negotiator’s.
>You say nothing.
>She shrugs.
>”Alright. So long as you’re keen on putting your own family in danger, I guess.”
>No.
>No, you just... trust them.
>As your enemy rounds the corner, Silver slams the blunt curve of a crowbar into her face.
>She goes reeling, and you close the distance, shoving her away.
>She falls woozily, wetly.
>Unconscious.
>You come upon Silver standing as close to the wall as possible, cradling the crowbar.
>A few feet back, two portions of 「Tin Cup Chalice」 have been laid out in the broad brick alleyway.
>From what she told you, before your row, she destroyed that crowbar.
>It was lodged in Trixie’s leg.
>You knew her Stand could recreate the things it destroyed, but you didn’t realize it could do it across distances!
>And speaking of that...
>”「MESSAGE MAN」!”
>She summons the Stand from a few feet away, face flushed with exercise and anger.
>You duck behind the wall, rummaging in your pockets.
>But she’s on you like glue.
>Her Stand punches through the brick to hit you, sending out clouds of chunky red dust.
>You’re knocked back a few feet, scuffing your legs on asphalt.
>Sour steps into view as the dust falls, and Silver lunges for her with the crowbar.
>「Message Man」’s hand grabs the rod and holds it like a baton, picking your sister up with it.
>A flick of the wrist, and she hits the far wall of the alley.
>Sour breathes heavily, slouching like Quasimodo as she lumbers toward you.
>>
>>29956616
>You pull out everything you had in your pocket.
>The splintered wooden sticks, the deflated bubble wrap, the torn paper.
>This is your last, long shot!
>The only way you and Silver can make it outside!
>In one last, desperate act, you throw the whole fistful at her.
>Her Stand’s fist appears, catching it all in a single motion, crushing it, and dropping the remnants to the ground.
>Then she comes for you.
>You back up.
>She’s not fast, but you don’t have a hope of taking her hand-to-hand.
>She speaks, and her voice is deep and rumbling, almost demonic.
>”I’m going to break your arms, and then your legs, and then make you win this all for us whether you want to or not. I’ll break every part of you that isn’t necessary to use a Stand.”
>She steps closer, and now you’re up against a wall.
>”You might be asking, which arm am I going to start with? Or maybe a leg, instead? I’ll tell you. I’m going to be reaaaal nice and use my speed to break all four of them at once.”
>Her voice sounds like she’s enjoying herself, but there’s no smile on her face.
>”I saved three of your punches the last time you summoned your Stand, but I blocked each one while I was running here. In fact, I took the chance to save three of my own. So I’m going to hit you in four places at once! How do you like that, you cross-eyed BITCH?!”
>You keep eye contact, for a moment, and then smile.
>And, softly, laugh.

>You’re standing up straight, face free from fear.
>She all but roars.
>”Why are you--”
>Behind her, there’s a flash of light.
“The gifts my Stand gave me fell inside of my sister’s 「Tin Cup Chalice」! You dropped them right in it!”
>Sure enough, some of them made it between the two pieces of tile propped up in the asphalt’s imperfections.
“Its power is an endless cycle of destruction and creation, decay and rebirth! It destroyed the gifts, and rebuilt them again! And now it’s breaking them down all over again! That’s the hidden power of Silver Spoon, my amazing sister!”
>You laugh, louder!
>Sour bellows.
>”WHO CARES?! You repaired a couple fucking wooden sticks! I’m going to rip out your tongue for stalling me like this!”
“Stalling? I’m not stalling. You’ve just been defeated.”
>She looks from your easy smile to the gifts being broken back down.
>Then she realizes it.
”「Spinal Tap」!”
>Your Stand appears from the gifts behind her, and this time it’s inexhaustible.
“ADADADADAD-”
>”M-MESS--「MESSAGE MAN」!”
>Your Stand’s punches are relentless, borne on the constant cycle of rebirth and resummoning!
>DUAL HEAT ATTACK: Just Begin Again!
“ADADADAD-”
>Three of her Stand’s fists appear from nowhere, zooming for your Stand.
>It brings its tail around, blocking all three.
>Then its fists connect, and Sour hits the wall.
>You don’t stop.
>Not until she’s not getting back up for a few hours.
“AD-AD-AD-AD-AAAAD!”

>Golden’s picked herself up at the restaurant by the time you arrive, but she’s not doing hot either.

>But after a run to the hospital, where she stays overnight, you and Silver make it back home.
>You have to tell your mom that your older sister was reckless and got in a really bad fall.
>But… you made it.
>One more fight, with the help of your little sister.
>And one more clue.
>If you can find out what the Shadowbolts are after, maybe you can figure all of this out...

MONDAY
>Alright.
>It’s morning, and you’ve done everything you can in a quick sweep of Canterlot City.
>And Derpy spent the last day fending off the same people who seem to want Trixie.
>Trixie, who’s hiding out on your couch for another night.
>You get dressed in your usual.
>Say her name a few times until she wakes up and gets in the car
>Talk about a night-owl.
>And when you’ve arrived and parked, you make your way through CHS grounds.
>With Trixie covering your back, you approach some other early arrivals.
>The Rainbooms are mostly assembled, and in their midst is one girl.
>Purple-skinned, like Trixie said.
>You hold your Stand at the ready in case things get ugly.
>Sitting and listening to the others on the steps of the school.
>Her hair has a streak through it, and it’s tied in a loose bun.
>Thick glasses, and purple-blue clothes.

Sure. There's a full list of the thread stories at >>29911161 with descriptions. If you still can't decide, just let us know what you like in your green / JoJo and we'll narrow it down further.
>>
>>29957039
Well, everyone's stories here aren't really connected, the pastebins are at the top for each writer and story, there's really no place to start. Personally I'd start with fuckface's story since he's the guy who started all this shit in the first place, But you really don;t even need to start there man, just read whatever catches your fancy. It shouldn't be hard either, everyone writefag here is amazing excluding me, I doubt you won't find at least one story that'll blow your mind, honest to Dio


by the by, no one here has completed their main story yet, so just saying.
>>
>>29956679
I don't even know what to say anymore. This was an absolutely mind-blowingly incredible update and it gave me chills in all the right ways. This chapter could have been an arc unto itself in the manga, it's seriously that good.

I gotta admit, I'm jealous of your creativity and prolificness. Really jealous.

Additionally, what Stand does your waifu have? Make her one if you haven't already, or a new one, or talk about why you designed the one you did.

Adagio's got both 「Gold Guns Girls」 and 「Orange Blossom Special」; 「G3」 is based on her natural ability to make other people desire things, and her endless desire for power and adoration. 「OBS」 is a Stand for her if she makes it back to Equestria, and it's supposed to celebrate her return by forcing things to arrive automatically, reversing the thousand-year struggle she'd take to get back home.

For a new one, I'd have to go with

Stand: 「Shakira」
User: Adagio Dazzle
Ability: When activated, so long as the user is in motion, no one who sees her is capable of looking away. Additionally, the generals stats of 「Shakira」 increase proportional to the total value of everything the user is wearing or touching at a given moment.

Worry not friends for I can assure you I am not dead.
A couple things:

1.I mainly phone post, if only because I find it easier to write when I'm walking around. That and my computer acts up sometimes and I have NO skills with hardware. I figure I'd better get that out of the way to explain why I take a while to post each part of a chapter.

2.Thanks to work tiring me the fuck out and Persona 5 consuming me like how Lord Smooze shall consume Equestria, I haven't had much time to write. However, with some self control and my parents kicking me off the TV for the day I can finally bring myself to write, which I will.

But first, an upcoming Stand

Stand: 「No Scrubs」

User: Ms. Harshwhinny

"You're a princess of the night, yet you can't make one simple dream go away."

For Sunburst I always saw him as a very quick learner, if not at Twilight and Starlight levels. Just as well, he spends most of his time researching more magic.
So I decided to give him a Stand that not only allowed him to easily learn new abilities, but utilize them easily as well, if at a reduced power.
Also, I have this idea that every pony has a sentient Stand so that they always have a friend around, even if nopony else is there

Also goodnight bump

>>29966548
That's a really cool Stand idea. And the filename is from pg. 139 of Finnegans Wake, given as a description of ALP, or Anna Livia Plurabelle, the character who plays the part of all the archetypal wives and mothers in the book. She's also the river Liffey that runs through and supports Dublin (represented by HCE, or Humphrey Chimpden Earwicker, the character who's also all of the fathers, progenitors and tragic fall-victims). The section, which got cut off by my computer, is actually a poem if you read it out loud, and since the book is about mixing up a thousand years of language and culture, and references the 1001 Nights, and it's all named after an endless song of celebration, it made a good fit for a millennium-old siren. I also could've gone with the end of The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, but it's much more >she's not real.

>>29966995
>>29967010
Glad you're still among us! It's interesting how the Anons in this thread have all turned a little dark at around the same time. And yeah, Sunburst's main talent seems to be colliding preexisting magic into something new and useful, and 「Renaissance Man」 fits him pretty well.

>>29967961
I was going to name the Stand that originally, but then I realized most Shakira songs are like that. And even the ones that aren't, like Octavo Dia and Dreams for Plans, also fit into the siren-misery-desire motif.

But yeah, those hips speak true across the language barrier. youtube.com/watch?v=3QPb42Wpraw

You guys know what feels good? Saying goodbye to thots. I've let a good friend go. I'm free.

Good progress happening here, which is weird because I'm working on both Kira's story and Anon's story one after another right now. When I tire of writing for one story I switch to the other, and when I tire of that I'm ready to put a little more effort into the other one, and all this with a few minutes between each switch. It's a surprisingly productive technique.

Power - D

Speed - B

Range - C

Durability - C

Precision - D

Potential - C

All the user would have to do is nick someone with a pointy stick and they'd lose horribly, or they could exploit flaws in the combat area to bring a house down by just expanding hairline fractures in the supporting beams, or they could just expand the target's greatest personality flaw until it consumes them.

I'm keeping this for later.

The battle would rely entirely on how many of the target's flaws [Wish Upon A Blackstar]'s user would know about and exploit, which puts Harshwhinny at an advantage if she knows more about the target or was able to prevent [WUAB]'s user from gathering intel on them or harming them.

Anything else is probably a slow and agonizing death so long as the target remains within [WUAB]'s range
>>
I can't believe I just discovered this today considering how long I've known about the song, but apparently before Planisphère was ever the background song to the Dior Homme Spring 2009 show, it was a dinky little WIP that Justice released on their Myspace all the way back in 2005.

Here it is, in all its unfinished glory.

Stand Name: [D.A.N.C.E.]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sy1dYFGkPUE

Stand Ability: [Guilt Empowerment]

Power - Varies

Speed - D

Range - A

Durability - C

Precision - C

Potential - B

Description: It is a group of up to four little skeletons, each with a jolly personality, that attach themselves to a target and gain weight and power from their guilt until crushing them completely. The skeletons can act independently from one another, but always follow the stand user's orders. If prompted to, they can come off from their target and engage in a regular brawl. They are easily distracted by happy music.

Well, it's not quite the ending, but it might as well be. I meant this scene where the hero's backed in a corner, and destroys the villain with his very last magic wish by giving her empathy. She explodes violently, and then reforms as a nice woman who calls the whole thing off.

>Are you really sure you’re in another world and not just honestly dead? Normal horses don’t look like that!
>Unicorns belong in the realm of fairy tales and make-believe! They’re the hopes of little girls given form, but they’re not actually real!
>As you struggle to stay on your feet, the white…unicorn hesitantly walks up to you, then brushes its hair back over its head
>”Pinkie dear, is he um, alright? He seems a little… sick.”
>You were completely wrong: there’s no way this is actually happening, surely you’re hallucinating from such a heady victory
>[Bites The Dust] did its job and you’re just imagining things from finally ridding yourself of the biggest obstacles to your happiness
>Then you glance at the map
>>
>>29985808
>There’s something there in a little circle that not twenty-five minutes ago you thought you’d never see again, something that confirms your existence and purpose in this world
>[Killer Queen]’s skull, suspended above rotating marks identical to the ones on the backs of the thrones
>Scrambling past the white unicorn, you fixate feverishly on the image as you rush up to the map for where it might be in relation to Ponyville
>Here!
>This small cluster of houses around a tiny version of the crystal castle must be where you are, but there’s an entire mountain range and hundreds of kilometers between you and your Stand! You’ll never get there without some sort of help or transportation!
>”Hello, Mr. Human? Are you interested in our map?”
>The purple one clip-clops up to you, and you swear you can see some kind of vestigial wings on its sides, but that DOESN’T MATTER
>Pointing at the map, you duck down to its eye level and inquire in your most perfectly and completely calm voice
“Where might that particular circle be indicating? It seems rather important.”
>It backs away from you before walking over to the map itself
>”W-we’re not sure, that’s why we were preparing an expedition. We’ll take a train and then trek overland to get to that location and try to figure out what that symbol means, and hopefully resolve whatever conflicts might be occurring there.”
>That’s a good enough answer for you, and you can feel the manic grin stretching out your face
“Fantastic! I’d love to come with you and discover a little bit more about this world in the process!”
>She, at least you think it’s a she, scrutinizes you for a few seconds before her face lights up
>”I think it would be a wonderful learning experience, and while you learn we’ll deal with any friendship problems that are occurring there!”
>That might be the most uselessly sappy thing you’ve ever heard, but for your Stand’s sake you decide to play along
>>
>>29985818
“Yes, learning about friendship and helping others with it, I’d love that a lot! When do we leave?”
>The others who have been hanging back this whole time step forward to address your question, and based on the tone of their voices and their long eyelashes, they’re all female
>The blue one steps forward, unfurling her wings
>WINGS-
>…Eh, it’s just like your Greco-Roman history books
>A pegasus, you think?
>Certainly not the strangest thing you’ve seen in the last two minutes
>She gets up in your face and gives you what probably passes for an intimidating glare here
>”We’re gonna leave right now, but I hope you can keep up. And that you don’t do anything to mess with our expedition!”
>The subtle challenge to your physical abilities just stretches your smile wider
“My dear, I’d never dream of such a thing, though I don’t believe I’ve caught your name yet.”
>She straightens up and looks you square in the eye
>”I’m Rainbow Dash, fastest pegasus in all of Equestria! Good to meetcha, mister human!”
>You nod and grunt your acquiescence before addressing the whole room
“Anything that any of you might need me to do to prepare, I will. That said, I do believe I brushed you aside very rudely, Miss…?”
>You turn, addressing the white unicorn to save face and offering her your hand
>She walks right up and takes it with the bottom of her hoof
>Disgusting
>”Rarity, Mister…?”
“Josuke.”
>It’s getting easier to tell that lie every time you introduce yourself
>>
>>29985830
>As you finish shaking her hoof, it takes every ounce of will in your body to not wipe your hand off on your suit
>”I must say, Mr. Josuke, you have impeccable taste in fashion. Where ever did you get that suit? It’s simply divine!”
>May as well play along, try to get on their good sides early on
“Why, I commissioned it myself from a tailor where I’m from. It cost a pretty penny but the effect and elegance have been completely worth it.”
>”I’ll say, you look amazing in it. Though I bet I could make something just as grand!”
>That earns your full attention. Though you’d only just arrived in this world, it was nice to know there was a local clothing shop you could reach out to for new outfits
“Oh? Are you a seamstress?”
>She feigns a gasp, mock-offended by your remark
>”Why sir! I am so much more than just a seamstress! Tailor work, stitching, and inlays are merely part of my repertoire! I am an artiste, a creator of all things clothing, and most importantly a fashionista! What I seek to create is nothing less than the future of fashion itself!”
>She’s slowly coaxing a genuine smile out of you
>Finally, someone who knows the importance of keeping up appearances and looking good while doing so!
>You may have just found yourself a fine asset for your stay in this world
“When we have the free time you’ll have to show me just what you can do, Rarity.”
>She nods before turning back to the map, engrossed in some mundane task
>”I will be sure to do so, Josuke. It’s been a pleasure to meet you and I’m glad you’ll be coming with us on this journey.”
“Likewise.”
>Ecstatically, Pinkie bounces over to you from her conversation with Applejack
>”EEEE! Josuke, I’m so glad you’re already making friends here! I knew it’d be a good idea to introduce you to them!”
>The notion of friends is not something you’d ever really considered, especially considering what you’d occupied yourself with before arriving here
>They just weren’t something you needed, and still aren’t
>>
>>29985840
>Still, if you’re going to be out in the open from day one, you may as well play your part
“Yes Pinkie, it was much easier than I thought it’d be. Thank you for bringing me here. Now is there anything I need to do before we leave?”
>She opens her mouth like she’s about to say something, but then she stops and sniffs the air before putting her hooves around her mouth
>”Psst, Josuke! You need to take a shower! You smell like something died!”
>For just a tiny fraction of a second, her statement gives you pause
>Then you laugh it off, deflecting her criticism with a hearty chuckle
“Well, sure slept that way! I ah, I have no spare clothes, Pinkie. Do you know where I can get some?”
>She pauses for a second, hoof to her chin, before springing up with an idea
>”We could get Twilight to magic your suit clean! That way you get out of the shower and there’s nice warm comfy clothes waiting for you when you’re done, AND we won’t have to bother Rarity about putting something together for you before we take off!”
>MAGIC?
>Okay, you’re not letting that one slide, but by the time you’ve regained your senses enough to question Pinkie’s explanation, she’s already dragged the purple unicorn over to you
>Twilight nods and smiles, and introduces herself
>”Josuke, I’m Twilight Sparkle, Ponyville’s resident princess of friendship. I’d have introduced myself properly sooner, but your arrival caught us at a bit of a weird time. Sorry about that. Anyway, Pinkie tells me that you need me to magic your clothes clean, is that right?”
>Not wanting to press the issue of MAGIC too far, and trying to retain what tenuous grip you have on your diminished sanity, you simply nod
“Please.”
>”Great! I’ll guide you over to a shower, and you can just drop your suit off outside the door when you’re ready. I’ll have it dirt-free, pressed, and nice and warm in no time at all! It’s incredible, really, that you wear clothes. Does every hyoo man wear clothes?”
“…Yes.”
>>
>>29985850
>With that, Twilight trots quickly out of the map room, leading you through a veritable maze of crystalline corridors to a nondescript door slightly smaller than doors back on earth
>”Here we are! When you’re all ready just drop the suit outside and I’ll take care of it!”
>You take a second to walk inside and inspect the bathroom
>It’s moderately sized, outfitted in the western style instead of what you’re used to, and seemingly hewn from the same crystal as everything else in this place
>There’s a shower in the corner which has a curtain and looks to be just roomy enough to support you hunched over
>Tenuously, you remove your grass-stained and sweat-ridden suit jacket and pants, followed by the rest of your garments, and knock on the door
>”Yes?”
>You clear your throat
“Here are all my clothes, Twilight. Thank you again.”
>They are wrapped in a purple aura and levitated out of your hands and into the hallway
>Whoa
>”I’ll have them waiting outside by the time you’re done in there, Josuke. Go ahead and get scrubbing!”
>Ear to the door, you hear her hoof steps slowly fade into the distance, and only then do you stand up, lock the door, and turn on the hot water
>As the shower heats up, you take a second to review everything that’s happened so far
>That bastard Jotaro Kujo killed you, then Reimi Sugimoto killed you again, and you somehow ended up here with only a small part of your Stand left
>Pinkie happened by and took you in, and despite the dominant form of life on this world apparently being brightly-colored miniature horses of varying races, you had little trouble with comprehending and accepting all of it, which strikes you as very suspicious
>As steam vents out of the shower you decide it’s time to step in, and find it stocked with an assortment of shampoos and soaps and even a washcloth, which you take
>>
>>29985855
>There’s still a possibility that you’re just holding all your emotions back, though your near collapses upon meeting the unicorns and grasping a faint sliver of hope really make it seem like you’re going to snap soon
>That would truly be terrible, because as excited as you are to have located [Killer Queen], you can’t let anyone see the “other” side of you
>You can’t show them the truth of your being
>To lose your composure now would be to jeopardize this mission and any chance you’d ever have of getting your Stand back, and that must not be allowed to happen
>Only when [Killer Queen] has been retrieved will you express your true emotions, and probably not even then
>For now you’ll rely on your hopes and desires to buoy your facade of friendship, then you’ll get your Stand back and figure out what to do from there
>Satisfied with your plan, you begin scrubbing, trying to figure out exactly how magic might work here, now that Twilight has shown you that it’s real

>After what felt like a heavenly eternity but was probably just fifteen minutes, you stepped out of the shower, dried off, and retrieved your suit, pressed and gently warmed, from where Twilight left it next to the bathroom door
>Following that, you ventured out of the bathroom, then spent five minutes trying to remember the way back to the map room before coming across Pinkie again, who led you there
>Then you were properly introduced to the six young lady horses who had so kindly decided to take you along with them
>They had a dragon too, which was yet another freaky thing you had to cope with, but he seemed like a decent sort of kid
>A little weak-willed and malleable, but decent
>After all of that, you’re finally ready to move out on the train, and it’s not even ten in the morning yet by your estimations
>>
>>29985864
>As the seven of you board the train, Twilight and Rarity take a seat and gesture at the seat across from theirs
>”Josuke, this is gonna be a long ride. You wanna chat a little now that we’ve got all the work out of the way?”
>Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash take the seat behind you, and Pinkie and her orange friend Applejack take the seats across the aisle
>You see no way out of this situation, as the ride is going to take hours to get you to your destination
>Once again, you have no choice but to play along, so you take the seat across from the unicorns
“Yes, let’s chat. What would you like to talk about?”
First half of this update. I'm not particularly satisfied with this but I'm not gonna spend a shit-ton of time worldbuilding just yet. I need to get the setup of the plot out of my head before I can relax and write the rest of this, don't wanna drag it out day by day.

I've thought about that, too. Round robins are interesting, but they work only if everyone involved is interested and they all follow the rules of improv (no one can declare that the last guy was wrong and revise that version of events to tell a story they like better). I'd consider a volunteer setup, maybe with multiple posts per person if it's more than a straightforward 1v1 fight.

You're back! I was worried French's return had banished you to the ether to hold equilibrium.

And I think it's awesome that people have shared and discovered music as a minor side-effect of JoJo. I've definitely listened to a lot of new songs and gained a handful of new favorites because of it. I've still got ethereal hipster plebshit on lock, though.

>>30001753
[Saturn's Children], [METROPOLIS] with -The Dreamer-, Care Root could probably find a way out of the situation regardless of whether or not his Stand could defeat Baoh, Lemon Zest could probably use her Stand to actually overpower Baoh if he wasn't able to figure out her power in time, and Sonic Youth's [Act 4 Rend] would probably be able to take him down if it was able to charge up all the way, but I think the only way to beat Baoh is to just straight-up overpower him. He's way too strong otherwise and most Stand users in general probably couldn't do more than slow him down.

Great ending, made me laugh, and awesome development for Harshwhinny. I don't know what's so inspirational about the Storm Sisters, but they just seem to write themselves sometimes.

>>30002835
Don't know much about Baoh, but my rule of thumb is that, not counting the costs, if a nuke would kill it, Care can kill it. As for other characters, if Lemon could overpower him with luck, Ace's Indigo could manage it too, and Erich would at least be able to get to safety. Most other characters I'd group together for safety in numbers.

this

like real shit, all of the MC stand users in this thread would fucking die if they had to face him, added to the fact that all the MC users in this thread don't really have a stronk AF punch ghost like star platinum or crazy diamond which saddens me because I honestly love punch ghost more than any other type of stand, mainly for design reasons, but also because I just love how simple they are, yet can be incredibly complex if used in one way or another.

Coco’s Bizarre Adventure, Episode 10: Captured City

Canterlot, midday. The streets were bustling, but only at one point at a time, and with one patient throng. The rest was ghostly, empty, quiet. Ponies were at work maintaining the electricity, or acting as servants, or trying to scrape by. It was easier than other places - burning up the luxury eased the fall a little more than most of the higher-ups would’ve guessed. Ponies weren’t going missing here.

At least, not for the time being.

The process was easy, and they got it down pat in a couple tries: Coco knocked, they endured the reluctant stirring inside, and they had a brief, awkward conversation. The ponies at the door never made eye contact, really, all of them drawn with surprise to the ground, where one of the modest sea of foals would separate and present itself, rested and relieved. A few minor questions, nothing which seemed important to the ponies inside, and then the group set off again.

Other times it would take more work. For some of the children, their parents were still unconscious, the doors locked. The first of them panicked at that, but Scootaloo shoved the door off of its hinges to let them inside. From then on, she had to force them open without breaking them, which took a little more control and was a tedious eye-rolling chore.

“I still think we should have thrown him inside,” she said, once the parade of foals was much smaller. Not all of them were from Canterlot, but all were taken nearby.

“She’d probably just spit him out again.” Diamond said next to her. They were speaking to each other out of necessity, because both of them had to be side-by-side to lead the train along and not get lost in one of the dozen conversations in the mass behind them. She didn’t enjoy Cheese’s freedom either, but after his defeat he’d been… more agreeable.

Coco had stood over him as he returned to consciousness, and offered him a hoof up. Diamond had been on standby, monitoring him for any sign of malice, but… there didn’t seem to be one. It was like something in Cheese Sandwich had been knocked loose, or put back into place.

He was quiet, now, standing in the back of the group and away from the foals, who did their nervous best to ignore him. He hadn’t spoken a word to Scootaloo or Diamond since Coco had pulled him up. The only times he spoke were when he got the house to tromp to the city outskirts and when he trotted from the back of the crowd and sealed each foal-return with a brief, head-bowed apology.

Most times the parents would just stare at him, like they didn’t know what language he was speaking in. Other times they would try to say something, the sort of thing they would’ve rehearsed better over a dozen sleepless nights, dulled by the freshness of their wounds. The brief moment of eye contact he made was only to ensure they weren’t about to hit him, and even then it was half-hearted. When the doors wouldn’t open, he seemed to relax a fraction, and as the streets went onward and he continued his mute trudge, some of the color seemed to leave him.

There was something lost about him, disabused. It set Scootaloo on edge.

“Well, we could at least have tried,” she sad. “There’s no reason he needs to be out and walking around with us, even if he doesn’t have anything bad planned.”

“I think Coco’s trying to give him a second chance.”

Scootaloo grimaced. “She’s going to give somepony one too many of those before long.”

Diamond frowned herself, but kept talking to fill the silence. “Maybe she will. But it’s better for her to try, in a time like this.”

“No maybe about it. Even the Elements couldn’t make friends with everypony they fought. She’s being too nice.”

“Am I?” Coco asked.
>>
>>30003821
They each stopped and looked up. Coco had stopped for a moment and turned to them, still smiling gently. Both of them looked at her, then at each other, and then Scootaloo spoke up.

“Yeah. You shouldn’t trust ponies even when you know you can beat ‘em. And there’s no reason why we couldn’t have made this trip while you went looking for Rarity. The sooner we find her, the sooner we can get on to stopping Sombra.”

A handful of confused complaints came from the crowd behind them, and everypony started walking again. Coco slowed to become level with the two, and continued.

“I wanted to make sure that she was still in the castle, and everypony I’ve asked has told me exactly that. I’ve also got a little information about the agents here.”

“You mean Sombra’s...?” Diamond asked, then trailed off. They weren’t ponies, but she couldn’t remember what they’d called themselves.

Again, a nod. “They’ve got a lot more control here than I thought. Much more than in Ponyville. They’re using the castle as a base.”

Scootaloo blanched. “Then they’ve already got her.” Her wings fidgeted at her sides.

Coco interrupted her panic. “We’ve got to hope they’re not doing anything to her. If Sombra wanted the Elements gone for good, he probably could’ve just destroyed them.”

“There’s no way we could know that!” the filly said, increasingly agitated. “We might need to get to her right now!”

Coco pointed to the spire of the castle a few blocks away. “We’re nearly there. I don’t want to go in alone, and I can’t bring these foals into it. ...Rarity would want me to finish this first.”

Scootaloo saw her friend’s tight expression, and the cadence of her words, and realized that it was just as painful for her to hold back from storming the castle. Her ears folded back, and she inspected the paving-stones.

“Go on ahead.” Diamond said.

Coco and Scootaloo glanced her way.

“There’s no reason for all of us to do this. I’ll get them where they’re going and meet you there.”

Coco, for whom splitting up was not a very favorable idea, considered her. “Are you sure you’ll be able to keep them together without our help?”

Diamond smirked. “You have no idea how good I am at keeping ponies in line.”

Scootaloo cast a nervous glance away from the filly and past the foals, to the rear of their lineup. She lowered her voice a little further. “Do you think you can handle somepony like him getting rowdy?”


“He’s not trying to do that stuff any longer,” she said. “「Misery Business」 will tell me if he ever changes his mind.”

“Then what’s he really trying to do?”

Diamond shrugged. “To show he’s sorry, really. He’s just caught on recently that we’re going after the Elements of Harmony, and he’s biding his time to ask us about one of them.”

“Rainbow Dash?” Scootaloo asked, remembering the hedonistic explosion of the party.

Head-shake. “Pinkie Pie.”

Coco puzzled at that. “Is he a fan?” His behavior would definitely make a little more sense, then.

“No, they met, once. I can’t get anything else out of him without asking questions directly, and he’ll know what I’m up to if I do. It’s better to let him keep his privacy for now.”

Coco weighed that quietly. “Then make sure to meet us at the castle.”

Diamond nodded, and Coco started trotting away from the group. Scootaloo surveyed the now-meager group, looked to Diamond, nodded once, and trailed after the mare.

From many familial islands, word started to spread. It may have taken a day or two, given how isolated the average Canterlot pony was. It was only the web of them, connected together, the sighs of relief, the excited chatter among each other that mattered.

In a carefully-set hideaway, Twinkleshine’s ears perked up.

“「Star 69」.”

Voices flowed in, singled out one at a time from a giant stream of noise-data.

“I can’t believe it!”

“It was the most amazing thing, as soon as we thought we’d lost Windy, she came back with him and made the stallion apologize!”

“Yes, yes, her name was ‘Coco’. I think she did it alone, there were only foals near her.”

“She’s making a run of the same path he took, I think. If only repairs were that easy for the rest of us, eh?”

Twinkleshine’s brow furrowed as she quieted her Stand. What was this? It was the talk of a whole district of ponies, just about, the same one that was just devastated. Could it really be good fortune coming their way?

She immediately hoofed it for the nearest communicator. 「Star 69」 showed her that the leader wasn’t speaking, at present, which meant she was either resting or meditating over some meal or other. Or maybe just watching hawkishly in the kitchens… The thought of those appraising eyes made her wince, but she took up the small metal contraption anyway.

“Come in, HQ, this is 「Star 69」 trying to contact 「Chop Suey」. There’s been a development in the West District, not sure if it’s friendly or hostile. Please advise.” Then, she listened for any incoming reports with one ear and awaited a message with the other.

There was moment of tense silence that drew out into half a minute. “HQ, this is 「Star 69」 trying-”

“I heard you.”

The dry, upper-crust voice didn’t come over the communicator, cracked and mangled by imperfect machinery and unkind airwaves, but purely through her Stand. It was also in a rough mood. Twinkleshine knew that the makeshift radio was really a one-way street, when it came to a pony only satisfied with the best.

“Go on, then. Tell me what’s happening before I have to send out reconnaissance of my own.”

“Somepony named Coco has been returning the foals that were just taken. She’s forcing Cheese Sandwich to apologize to each of the families, and he seems to be doing it. They’re moving along the West toward the castle.”

“You can hear him?”

“No, he never got in my range.”

Pitiless silence, dressed up for the hero of the revolution in plans and guesses. “No. No, that’s far, far too convenient. It’s a con game of some kind, I’m sure.”

That made Twinkleshine uneasy, but if it was true she had every reason to be. She’d learned not to pose very many questions since her first hour on the job, so instead she elected to ask, “What should we do?”

“I was preoccupied the last time he came through, but if he thinks he can rough up these ponies a second time, I’ll have to visit him personally and let him see what’s what.”

“Who do you want me to send with you?” Twinkleshine asked, after another long pause.

“Yes, come along and bring the nets. Do keep up, now.”

“Nets? I don’t think I have any...” she started, and realized that Zesty had simply walked away from the communicator and gotten to gathering ponies. She sat and grumbled, “I hate when she does that.”

Canterlot’s castle was visible from almost any point outside of the city, but hidden from view all too often within it. Here, though, even a block away, it felt like a pony could hug the sides of the buildings and face away from those spires and towers, and still wind up seeing it.

Coco knew that Rarity was in there somewhere, or that she had been, but very little else. Nopony she’d spoken to seemed able to tell her who exactly was running things behind the scenes here, only that there were plenty of agents around and that they patrolled to maintain curfew.

It was disturbing to see a city like Canterlot so empty, but there was at least the comfort of the occasional pair of eyes darted out from behind shuttered windows and closed curtains. She wondered if this was what became of Manehattan during her journey to Ponyville, or if some other fate crash-landed into her home-city.

Would the park where she’d made costumes as a filly still be there, if a half-dozen ponies like Berryshine wandered into it?

She tried to clear the thoughts from her head. She was closer to her goal than ever before, now. The only trick was getting inside.

There was no apparent movement around the perimeter, which she found odd. There were no real gates or locks in between the castle and the city that coexisted around it, but there were clear positions where guards should’ve been standing.

Scootaloo tried trotting forward, made it a dozen meters, and then bumped her snoot against a wall of solid yellow energy. Coco saw it ripple, the light shimmering in a wave until it revealed its full geodesic shape. Face scrunching, the filly stood back a little, spectated the light, and started to feel out the edge of the dome with her hooves.

“Opening. There’s got to be an opening.” She said to herself, and Coco agreed.

Together, counterclockwise, they started tracing its edge.

From his twenty-sixth apology onward, Cheese Sandwich had exhausted his ability to feel worse. It wasn’t a muscle he’d stretched very much, even before he had his cutie mark, and usually he saw that as a blessing.

He’d been certain of his righteousness. Completely, totally certain, that his Cheesy Sense returning was something he’d done.

Celestia on a soda cracker, other ponies were trying to save the world. And they were doing a better job than he was, which meant that they might actually pull it off! At the leastest of the least, he was in no position to call shenanigans on them.

Had he really done the wrong thing? Wasn’t his backup plan the best thing somepony could’ve done, in his position? It hadn’t been easy, it had taken sacrifice and work, even just starting. But now, the weight of each apology, the looks, assailed him more than any dressing-down from the ponies who’d outwitted him. If most of them spoke to him, he might’ve been able to argue his point, to reinforce his retreating position, but even the ones who did would’ve turned uglier still if he’d done that.

“It hurts when no one trusts you, doesn’t it.” Diamond said, and it took him a moment to realize she was talking to him.

He trotted forward, past the under-a-dozen kids still present. “A-are you reading my mind again?”

She oriented herself so that she could keep an eye on them. They’d been well-behaved so far, or just cowed by all that had happened to them. “No. I just know from experience.”

“Must’ve been an experience and a half.”

“Yeah. It only happened a few times, and every time I became stronger and tried to stop it from happening again. Whenever ponies didn’t like me, I tried to make them do it. Now, I guess it’s just not meant to be.” She huffed, resigned.

“Come on, of course you can make ponies like you!” he said, voice raising a little. “That’s why comedy was invented, to grease the wheels of the friendship train! You just have to pick the right time, and knock ‘em dead!” At the last phrase, he motioned a boxer’s jab with one hoof.

Diamond blinked. Had he tried too hard to be enthusiastic there? “But… it’s really not a pony’s choice, if they’re likeable or not. Not everypony can get along with others.”

“Pshaw,” Cheese said. “If there’s anything I know, it’s that there’s something likeable inside of everypony. You just have to dig it up sometimes, and let other ponies know what it is!” Yes, all things considered, this was an extra-excellent distraction from the way he’d just been feeling.

Diamond chewed on that as they kept walking.

Zesty Gourmand passed the plain, samey, civilian residences one at a time. Her own mental and spiritual home was on the other side of the city, in the district of restaurants which now were so much dust and disuse.

There was always more work to be done, more things to be perfected. Only a pony with vision could lead a resistance, not to mention charisma.

The reassuring heft of her coat carried her forward, the three unicorns and the net nearby.

Suddenly, she smiled to herself, wryly. She had recognized the name “Coco”, she was certain, but only now she remember from where. It was a small article in a trite magazine, the sort of thing she was occasionally given to reading for a moment’s relaxation, about the “ten rising stars of Manehattan fashion”. It made a great hullaballoo over her industry, and the size of her ouevre.

Well, she supposed it was a very equine temptation, to go for quantity over quality.

The route to the West’s terminus was uncomplicated, and she passed through it at a brisk trot. The bare sun was a little more than she would’ve liked, but on the whole the day wasn’t completely unsalvageable. A few captures and interrogations might make a world of difference.

When she stepped into the intersection of the castle and the district, it was with some hesitancy that she threw her gaze in all directions. There was no sign of enemy activity just yet, but signs were a blase and obvious way of discerning the world. She could feel, with the same certainty and straightforwardness that had made her the head of the Canterlot restaurant industry and the head of its underground guerrilla militia, that there was more ahoof.

Nopony was fighting right now, in all of the city. This was a necessity; her own forces were sorely lacking, and most required much more training than they’d been able to receive thus far. But when her intuition presented her that impression, it was with the same whallop as the entire city being at war around her.

She considered asking her silent, obedient companions if they felt any twinges of apprehension themselves, but it would’ve been pointless. Nopony ever felt what she did, and to drag out the fact into the open would be a garish waste.

When she first heard a door shut around the corner, she knew she was in the right area. Coat billowing, she dashed into the street and around the bend.

My, Coco was a young thing, wasn’t she? A bit of a tragic mane, perhaps, but certainly better than expected. The cutie mark was only proof that destiny was a harsh mistress. Next to a stallion like Cheese Sandwich, she looked like polished jewelry.

Both turned to her, startled, as they were departing the doorway of some mean home. They were foalless, which was just more work and investigation to be done later. She might have to round up the foals personally, which was something she’d rather not have done. Young Coco might win some grudging respect for her youthful drive in the fashion industry, but on the whole, Zesty would rather swallow greasetrap fare than interact with children.

“Hello.” Cheese said.

“「Chop Suey」.”

Coco and Scootaloo headed around the castle in search of an opening, and navigated its whole circumference without finding one. As the quest became more and more fruitless, Coco’s expression clouded over with worry. She didn’t even notice the gardens or hedge mazes, or the rest of the city revolving around them as they circled.

Several times, Scootaloo tried to hammer her hooves into the barrier, only to shake them off a moment later and continue skulking around the edge of the grounds. When they made it all the way back, she groaned loudly and hit it with a useless barrage.

Coco was hardly in a better mood. She couldn’t even pass her Stand through or create fabric on the other side. Nothing would help pull her in. As they both stood in front of their starting point, she rubbed a hoof on her muzzle and regarded the whole dome.

“We could always try climbing it.”

Scootaloo grunted. “I just thought of that.”

“Stay right where you are.” A withering voice called from a ways behind them.

They both turned, and saw, some distance away, an older, almost lichlike mare. Her eyes were thin, and her pallid skin supported a pronounced horn surrounded by white hair. She wore a full white shirt with actual sleeves and buttons, which Coco’s mind quietly noted as a bold choice, and a long curving black coat that evoked something of a saddle in her mind. Behind her, Diamond and Cheese were laying in a repurposed fishing net. Both were bruised, held inside of a force field maintained by a quartet of strong-built unicorn stallions standing in easy formation.

Coco started. “Who are-”

“I go by Zesty Gourmand. As you can see, I have your allies here,” she said, telekinetically raising the net to bring it in plainer view. “And it’s no use relying on that Stand of his. I’ve instructed my good associates here to go straight for both if any of them feel a little too giddy.“
>>
>>30003979
Cheese looked at Coco in a silent apology. Beneath the scuffs, Diamond stewed in negative emotions.

“Why would you do that?”

“Because I’m here to nip this farce in the bud. It’s one thing for a King to conquer and rule, but to pretend to make nice with these citizens is a step too far! The ponies of this city will never succumb to such cruel tricks!”

Coco softened and shook her head a little. “Oh, no, I’m afraid you’ve got it all wrong, Ms. Gourmand, we’re not here to help Sombra at all. We’re just trying to make sure the Element of Generosity is alright, and find a route to the Crystal Empire.”

Zesty snorted, a dry sound like a spittake without water. “Even if your story were plausible, your acting leaves many things to be desired. Why would you arrive here so quickly after a crisis, or show up at all? Where’s the train that brought you?”

Scootaloo fumed and cut in. “What reason could we have, lady? Do you think we had Cheese take the foals so we could bring them back just after?!”

Not so much a laugh as a puff of air, ruffling the coat. “How should we know that they’re really the ponies who were separated from their families? And why should we believe that ponies like you won’t come bearing gifts in order to convince us of your good intentions? Do you think we’re completely unaware of the subtleties of strategy?”

“That’s ridiculous! What if we really are the good guys here? You’re throwing away a chance for us to help out this city together!”

“I’m not about to believe a pair of ponies who just came back from the Castle occupied by Sombra’s forces. If you aren’t going to come quietly, I’ll be happy to show you why I’m not so easy to fool. Besides,” Sniff. “Even if you were telling the truth, I don’t think I need the help of a handful of vagabonds, thankyou.”

“Oh, yeah? Well, why don’t we find out?” Scootaloo said, and stepped closer. Above her, 「Go Zone」 formed, hovering and staring out through the aisle of the street.

Seeing the Stand, Zesty drew herself up and stared the filly down across the gulf. “If you want to settle this in the basest way possible, be my guest. 「Chop Suey」.”

Equidistant from both of them, bits of pavement, asphalt, brick, wall, glass, rubble and metal broke off from the structures around and coalesced in the center of the street, hanging in mid-air. They took the shape of an odd, composite sculpture of a pony, multicolored and hairless, perhaps a stallion. It stood a full pony’s height off of the ground, unmoving.

From the sidelines, Diamond and Cheese looked on at the Stand, concern growing. Cheese’s eyes searched the ground for something. On the opposite end of the street, Coco kept to the sidewalk and kept level with the filly, trying to size up the Stand and think of some way out of her

Scootaloo kept her eyes steady, locked with Zesty’s. The older mare beckoned her with a brief wave of her hoof, and she charged.

Zesty’s Stand stayed perfectly still as she advanced herself, almost marching. Her features were soggy with relaxed confidence. The filly was nearing the Stand much faster, eyes fixed on it in case it made any sudden movements. But it didn’t, and neither did the mare. Coco tried to keep an eye on both, herself.

Scootaloo realized that she was a little too far right to charge straight into her opponent. Was she trying to avoid running underneath of the Stand? It did seem like an opportune chance for it to attack, and she had no idea of its power. If it could beat Cheese and Diamond, it had to be something nasty.

She decided not to take any chances, and veered a little further right to circle by it.
>>
>>30004004
No sooner had she done that than the Stand split apart into its constituent elements and swirled into a vortex, like a cyclone. More bits of the street and buildings dislodged themselves and added to it, and parts of itself shot out like bullets.

Scootaloo realized she’d activated it. Was it that she’d come too close? She dodged and backpedaled, darting away from the minor projectiles, but they only circled and weaved themselves.

In front of her, Zesty continued her steady march forward, coming closer to the Stand now. Scootaloo’s own dodging grew desperate as the mare reached the

“To win in life, you must go after your passions in a straight line. If you allow your heart to dissuade you, you’ll never accomplish anything. Those who change direction are aimless, and 「Chop Suey」 eats them just like the world does.”

Then that was it! The change in direction! Scootaloo turned back toward Zesty. “「Go Zone」!”

A smattering of brick dust, sharp tokens of concrete and brittle glass froze in the air, dusting the ground around the filly’s hooves.

“It’s useless! Once you stray from the path, my Stand won’t forgive you! Those who turn to the side are useless!” She was standing right in the midst of it, still facing forward, only her eyes following the filly. If 「Go Zone」 could get close enough to trip her up, then--

A line of debris swept behind Scootaloo and impacted, piercing into her side and biting into one wing. She yelped, and tried extending her Stand’s power, concentrating all around her at once. The sudden exertion was exhausting, and a cloud of cutting dust stuck to the outside, falling inwards and piling around her, sealing her further.

Just as her barrier flickered and died completely, Coco barrelled towards her, coming diagonally. “「Something for Nothing」!”

A sheet of white materialized in the air and swept up the toothy rubble into a bundle. Her Stand stood over the filly, wrapping her in layers and layers of soft material.

Zesty frowned, and the attack paused, rubble drawing itself back up into her Stand, now three times larger than a pony.

Coco, who was at a sixty-degree angle to the mare, pleaded with her without turning her head. “Stop! We’re not enemies, we can work this out and make sure that everypony gets what they need!”

“I see you know diplomacy when you’ve already lost. Unfortunately, it’s not going to be enough for you. To be frank, common ponies like you are in no position to be making offers at all.”

Coco’s head reeled as she tried to think of something. “Please, just help us save Rarity, and leave my friends be! After that, we’ll leave and never come back!”

Before Zesty could respond, a rock flew into the back of her head, skipping off of it and onto the ground. She began to turn around, and then seized up and stopped herself, half-shuddering. Another whistled through the air, and she ducked as it sailed past and landed on Coco’s side inside.

Back in the net, the unicorns reestablished the force field, tightening. 「Misery Business」’s arm was constrained by it, and then vanished entirely, leaving a small pile of rocks unthrown.

Zesty checked the back of her head with a hoof, making sure there weren’t any bad bruises. The skin was sore, but the rest was “If you don’t have the strength to win in the first place, it doesn’t matter how you act when you lose. I don’t believe you.”

“But I’m being honest with you! Don’t you want to save the ponies of Canterlot?!” Coco shielded Scootaloo with her whole body, her heart beginning to race.
>>
>>30004055
Zesty laughed, then. It was brief, and vampiric. “You really don’t know me, do you. I’m here to maintain Canterlot, and its culture. The fact that ponies need to be alive to that end is no help to you.”

Coco blinked, mouth open. “W-Wuh?”

“I said I won’t be threatened or cowed,” Zesty said, coolly. “If this city is the last bastion of true progress in the world, the work of only a few of the finest and most ingenious of truly thinking ponies, then I must defend it! But I won’t be painted as some gauche unrefined storybook moralist who does it for the lives of peasants.”

Coco seemed barely comprehending at those words. “What did you just say?”

“It’s clear your group sent because your lord thought I’d have a soft spot for a young dressmaker who saw me as an idealistic champion. It’s far too transparent, but he never was one for subtlety. No, there’s nothing about the ponies I meet that makes me want to save them. Only a few matter, or ever have, and the rest are free to live their meaningless little lives and die their pointless deaths. In the end, it doesn’t matter.”

That was enough, the end, the limit. That was the point where Coco had heard enough. Something inside of her changed, and her heart raced onward with new passion!

“That’s not true!” she shouted back, looking at Zesty through the periphery of her flashing eyes. "Do you hear me?! That’s not true at all! We're all here because of the ponies who came before and gave everything for us! Ponies spending their lives working for a future they’ll never see themselves…” She lowered her head, eyes closed, seething.

Zesty’s eyebrow arched.

And then, she turned!

Coco Pommel turned her entire body!

She faced Zesty head-on!

“As long as I have the power of Stand, I'll NEVER let you call that generosity a lie!"

“Then DIE!” Zesty called, casting a hoof out, “「Chop Suey」!”

The debris flew at her in pelting waves. She threw up a sheet, and they burst through it with raw knifing velocity. She leapt out of the way, levitating Scootaloo in the opposite direction, and galloped for the revolutionary as soon as her hooves touched the ground. By now, the Stand was generating wind with its spinning, halting her progress as she ran into it.

A volley circled around her, and she threw up shield after shield, weaving as best as one pony. But it wouldn’t be enough!

Zesty smiled, staring her down from only a few hooves away. Another sweep of the projectiles was coming from behind her, hitting her in a blind spot. It was an inevitability!

Suddenly, Coco began to dodge. She threw herself down, and sprang up to one side. She moved one leg away from the razor wind as it swept along. She craned her neck to the left as another flew past. It was as if she had eyes in the back of her head!

Zesty became alarmed, stopping herself from backing up. “Impossible!”

Coco, at first shocked herself, realized herself what was happening, and smiled. Having so recently succumbed to it, there was no trouble identifying the sensation of 「Feel Good Inc」. It had been on the second rock Diamond had thrown with her 「Misery Business」! Now she could dodge for a little while longer!

Finally, with a burst of energy, she threw out her Stand. “「Something for Nothing」!”

The Stand hooked a foreleg against Zesty’s cheek, solid enough to knock her off of her hooves and onto her side. She rubbed the wound, waiting for another hit, but none came.

Coco looked down at her, no longer dodging, as 「Chop Suey」 began to redirect itself. Her eyes were serious, cold. Above her, the vortex swirled angrier and angrier.

Coco’s guess was confirmed with Zesty cringed, and covered her head with her hooves. 「Chop Suey」 was a double-edged sword. Anypony who changed direction could be targeted.

A hail of street zoomed for the cowering critic, and she felt a tightness in her barrel as the wind increased around her. But there was no impact. Instead, she felt weightless!

When she opened her eyes, she saw a silken tether tied around her barrel, the other end of a long line of fabric held by 「Something for Nothing」. She relaxed her body, ready to hit a wall of some kind, but only collided against a giant, pillowy chair.

Once she left range, her Stand disappeared, the animating intelligence evaporating and the bits of debris falling to the road. She felt almost relieved, and her breathing let up as the tether dissipated around her. She was unharmed.

She could’ve been eviscerated by her own power, her own folly, and yet she was still breathing. The weight of that hit her in waves, and she realized that she may have labored under a misapprehension.

Then, above her, Coco Pommel trotted into view, blocking out the sun.

Zesty coughed, politely. “Ahem. Yes. Let’s talk.”

This was a much calmer and simpler update than the previous stuff, and I liked that you were actually able to de-escalate the story from the previous entry by turning things into a mostly 1-on-1 Stand battle with a standard resolution that still totally worked for the story. Good shit as usual and I liked the idea of an automatic Stand that can hurt the user as well as the target. We don't see too many of those.

Nice episode. I liked how Cheese thought back on his actions, realizing he did wrong but still not fully grasping it until faced with the consecuences of his actions. That was the thing I felr missing from the previous chapter and I'm glad to see it here.
Coco and Zesty's battle was great. Automatic stand aside, I loved how it is mostly a battle of ideals between the two of them.
Looking forward to what might happen with Moondancer.

th-thanks

I've already made Stands out of songs in two of these, so here are three more.

youtube.com/watch?v=lXj4HiwQFtM
Stand: 「Mutants Again With Leafling」
User: Mr. Cake
Ability: Takes the form of a replenishing pack of cake decorations. When they touch something edible meant for a target, they personalize themselves, becoming permanent sugared images of things the target likes, wants, believes or is proud of. If the pony eats the food while the Stand is in contact, they rapidly heal any damage not caused by breaking skin or bone. Eating the decorations alone has no effect - in fact, they taste bitter. Only so many decorations can exist uneaten at a time.

youtube.com/watch?v=W834GF7yKjQ
Stand: 「Azure」
User: Zephyr Breeze
Ability: Fully controls all clouds in sight of the user.

youtube.com/watch?v=VELx-QbVnwo
Stand: 「A Trialogue」
User: Coloratura
Ability: Sets the bounds of the user's skill levels on any activity they've witnessed in the last month; they are at least as good as anyone younger than themselves they saw doing the same task, but no better than anyone older. If these contradict each other, the upper limit is removed.

>>30005354
Yeah, they're wonderfully iconic, and a lot more memorable than their canon counterparts.

>>30005385
>making me feel straight hatred for a fucking imaginary horse in an autistic JoJo green
Well, when you put it that way it just sounds silly, don't it. Really, I just try to give my pones philosophies, even if they're kind of superficial. Zesty's a caricature of some of the more misanthropic shit I can remember thinking a few years ago, brought into the open to be properly dressed-down. What's freaky is sometimes they'll come up with the arguments without me, like when Cheese says there's something likeable in everyone.

Only joshing you, brev.

And yeah, the characters. For 6 years, I thought writers were just being poetic when they said characters had minds of their own, but now they sometimes seem to present ideas to me which fit the story better than mine and run against whatever executive decision I was making. This is why writing JoJo's so exciting to me, because even without a grand plan for a battle I can throw the characters into a corner I have no way out of and a solution springs, fully-formed, out of the ether.

Last year I wrote an argument between Sunset and Adagio which Adagio was fated to win, and Sunset won instead, using an argument that convinced me which I'd never even considered. I handed Silver a throwaway Stand in CRBA so I could drive the plot and pull Mr. Rich in as a villain, but she became one of the most powerful, central and important characters in the green while my back was turned. In fact, she's one of the most important characters in the larger view I wasn't writing and hadn't outlined yet.

Of course, I could probably waffle on about the subconscious doing all the heavy lifting while I'm writing, but there's no fun in that.

You could've just said "it's my stand", no one would've questioned it

For real though, that's fucking amazing. It's outstanding what tge human mind can really do with enough practice in one field or another. Dith, you could legitimately write best selling novels and shit, you know this, right?

“Alright, let’s eat.”
>Armed with only your decorum and manners, and Pinkie Pie’s apparently invincible stomach, the pair of you begin to chew through each muffin, trying desperately to keep it all down, but after just five more your stomach gives out and you slump onto the table, feigning tiredness from the trip and leaving it up to Pinkie to finish the job
>Though she does so eventually, she’s literally green with sickness and can barely walk straight
>Just what the hell was in those muffins?
>”Well darn! Ah can’t believe the two ‘a ya ate all our muffins! I guess we’d better go git some more!”
>With that delightful piece of acting from Applejack you all slip into the baker’s house and quickly head down the stairs into the basement
>It’s very dim and creepy down here, and your instincts are screaming at you to summon [Killer Queen] and make a quick getaway, but then you remember that YOU CAN’T
>You settle for summoning [I Want It All] onto your left hand and preparing to strike any assailants that might be in the room with you
>Suddenly the baker, a pegasus, and another unicorn emerge from the shadows, too-wide grins on their faces, and you instinctively take a step back towards the girls
>Rainbow Dash assumes a defensive stance, wings flared wide, and you can see Applejack and Twilight doing the same
>Forcing yourself to ignore your ingrained nature for a moment, you also drop into a combat stance, shoulders down, knees bent, Stand hand in front

>”Wow, you’ve all got such unique cutie marks! Do you have a cutie mark too, Mr. Josuke?”

>She doesn’t seem threatening, so you relax your stance a bit and answer her question
“No, humans don’t have anything like that. We choose what we’re good at, and sometimes we choose incorrectly, but there’s always a chance to try something new.”
>”Wow, that’s incredible! It must be tough to do something for your whole life and realize you were wrong! With cutie marks we know what we’re good at, and I honestly wouldn’t mind having my special talent back. B-but don’t tell anypony I said that, okay?”
>”Well go get them, then. What’s stopping you all?”
>The other unicorn speaks up
>”Well it seems a bit extreme. Besides, after all the effort Starlight went to with the Staff Of Sameness, it seems like it’d be a slap in the face to just go get mine back. I just can’t.”
>Staff Of Sameness?
>Is there some ancient relic that Starlight nabbed, Indiana Jones style, from an old unicorn temple or something?
>Is that what made all these ponies have the same cutie mark?
>Twilight comes to the same conclusion, because she asks the same question
>”Oh yes, the Staff Of Sameness casts a spell that removes our cutie marks and makes us all equal. No worse than each other, but also no better. We’re all the same…”
>Twilight seems to be seriously horrified by this concept
>”But your cutie mark is what makes you special and unique, and without it your special talent can’t flourish. How could you ever want to live a life without them?”
>The baker speaks up again
>”Oh, we don’t live without them, they’re kept in a vault, where we can visit them every day to remind ourselves of the burden of fate we have been relieved of.”
>A… a cutie mark vault?
>So there’s just butt tattoos floating around somewhere around here for everyone to look at?

>The entire way there she makes a rather Orwellian speech about how “in the future every pony will want to come live in equality with us and will donate their butt marks to the vault” or something, you don’t really pay attention
>As soon as the opportunity comes though, you’re going to relish taking her down a peg, maybe shut her the hell up
>At length the hill you were all hiking up smoothes out, revealing the mouth of a rather large cave
>Cautious, you summon [I Want It All] again and mentally prepare yourself for battle
>Starlight beckons you further in, and from the darkness looms a massive wall with cubical slots carved into it, each covered in glass and hosting a different cutie mark, utterly astounding you with its strange display
>But wait, aren’t the marks just printed on their flanks?
>”By the way, how did the topic of the vault come up?”
>For a split second you think the entire group is going to clam up and force you to tell a baldfaced lie, but Pinkie opens her mouth and that plan goes to hell
>”Well there were a couple ponies who were talking about wanting their cutie marks back and-“
>She’s immediately cut off as Twilight shoves her hoof into Pinkie’s mouth and gives Starlight a sheepish grin
>”…Is that right? Well, if you wanted to know about the vault then perhaps you’d like a firsthand demonstration as to how we fill it.”
>With that, dozens of townsponies creep out from the shadows, forming a tight ring around the whole group to fence you all in, and Starlight takes what you assume is the Staff Of Sameness off of a little pedestal near the back of the vault

Kek.

I'm excited to see Our Town here, because it's a perfect JoJo location. And I see what you mean by being inspired to watch S5-6 Kira's development is interesting, and the fact that he can feel his Stand in the vault is something I definitely wasn't expecting. Plus his line about humans living without cutie marks was pure Araki. I'm hype for how his presence affects the conclusion.

That said, even though the plot has to stay mostly the same, I'd have liked there to be more differences from canon. I feel like these preparatory scenes are a great chance to stretch Kira out and show that things really are going to be different because of him. Having a radically altered conversation with someone, setting the townsponies on edge by being irreconcilably Not The Same, struggling to stuff the muffins into his pockets to save Pinkie from eating them, stuff like that. Maybe that's just not in his character, though.

>>30007843
I really don't think I'm there yet, but I appreciate it. Care and Coco are the longest single stories I've ever worked on, so I'm hoping that what I learn from them will bring me closer to breaking the million-word barrier and writing for profit.

>>30009984
I may have been sticking too close to the original episode, but part of the reason for that was to show just how little the townsponies were willing to freak out over Kira in order to preserve the "peace" they have. I also felt that having Kira maintain a steady facade was something he would do if for no other reason than to try to blend in, maybe pretend that he's following Starlight's ideals, which he sort of does,
wanting to be unremarkable from all the others and whatnot,
so I figured that having him play a passive role until the revelation in the vault would be a good fit for his character. The Not The Sameness comes later, once things have kicked up a notch. Not everyone's going to be happy to see such an alien being in Equestria, after all.

Also, you're a good guesser.

This implies the Power Ponies have the opportunity to make an informed decision before they throw down the gauntlet. If they know about Stands and can't see them, they'd probably want to engage with users they can defeat. If you like, let's say that their loved ones are being held hostage if they can't win or something.

>>30020153
Considering how comics like to build up two characters with the same powers as "the only ones able to face each other equally" or something like that, I'd say that Stands would probably fall under the category of a shared superpower, which only other similarly empowered beings or seriously lucky or strategic characters could battle effectively.
>>

Comics also work with the idea of "machines that works against magic".

I just wish either dream had shown me what it did, and chances are that i won't find that out for several months if at all
>>
>>30038906
Although, there might be clues to what it does in the times it's shown up
In the first dream, it seemed to keep trying to change shape (notably, the length of the blade and handle), and in the second, i felt a wave of heat when i said it's name
Any ideas what that could mean?

Also, does anyone lnow where thisis from? I found it by searching "fantasy sword" on google images, and the webpage link was pinterest
>>
>>30039632
I may be wrong on this, but I think that sword is from Fate/Stay Night.
Which has a cool green going on from a while in the Alone in Equestria thread. Check it out if you like that kind of stuff.
>>
>>30039720
I've never seen the show, but i've heard a lot about it, might check it out
Also, possible idea for [Brave New World]'s power
The sword can change shape to a degree, but seems to have a mind of it's own at times, but that may just be due to the wielder's mind wandering
Some stats may increase with the strength of the user's spirit
How would you guys go about statting this thing?
>>
>>30039885
STAND NAME: [BRAVE NEW WORLD]
STAND MASTER: ANON

POWER: D-A
SPEED: C-B
DURABILITY: C
RANGE: E
PRECISION: USER'S
POTENTIAL: B
>>
>>30039933
Wow, double dubs have confirmed [Brave New World]'s stats
>>
>>30039885
Personally, I like the idea of a sword that morphs to a certain degree to adapt to a certain situation. I do believe that there must be a definite trigger for these changes.
>>30039933
The stats changing is a good way to balance it.
Say, there could be a certain amount of "base" stats, but as it morphs they could change between themselves. Say the sword becomes more lithe and longer, then it would lose durability and power, but it would gain speed and range.
As for it having a mind of its own... that is where the idea becomes very interesting. You could have bizarre thing happening like the sword "choosing" what things to cut by itself disregarding what the user wants or where it is swung.

I actually have a Stand that I can't use in this story, but still want to test out. It would be a perfect fit against 「BRAVE NEW WORLD」. As soon as I'm done with the update to my chapter (which will be soon) I can have this Stand face off against this guy. Keep in mind, he's gonna be late teens during the fight.

Stand Name: 「REPTILES AND SAMURAI」
Stand User: Button Mash
Stand Description: By user, “It’s my Zanpakuto, summoned to me by sheer force of will! It is made from Glorious Japanese Steel folded over 1000 times! With it, I can cut through anything!”
Power - B
Speed - C
Range - E
Durability - A
Precision - C
Potential - E
Stand Power: 「REPTILES AND SAMURAI」 allows it’s user to cut through any physical object, so long as that object is not a Stand. It also allows it’s user to regrow missing limbs in a matter of minutes, or simply reattach the missing limb instantly.

In one swoop you've jumpstarted a plot, made Kira fully sympathetic and established a great villain. This is a wonderful set-up, and I felt a lot of what Kira felt this update. The image of rushing forward with one Stand-wielding hand is a great one, and the way that damaging Double Diamond both works and returns to bite them was creative and unexpected. The posting-gods should not have frowned on you.

Care Root counters Erich Rammstein for as long as he can make light constructs.

I guess [Scissor Sister] would counter [Something For Nothing] pretty damn hard unless Coco pulled some traditional JoJo trickery.

[Fire In The Church] hard counters EVERYONE if it can get close enough, able to incapacitate all male combatants and heavily arouse all female ones, but could be countered by any mid or long-range Stands such as [BENZIN], [METROPOLIS]' -The Dreamer-, or even [Planisphère].

[I Want It All] is countered by any Stand that can quickly construct something between the user and Kira, causing him to waste his bombs and forcing him into close range without an advantage, which leaves him extremely vulnerable.

[Saturn's Children] counters any projectile-based Stand and would probably put a quick stop to both Rainbow and [ANONYMOUS] and [Go Zone].

[Starman] could probably counter anyone if Ziggy tried hard enough, but the karmic backlash could be anywhere from mild to severe depending on how much he abused his luck-altering stars.

That's all I can think of for now. I'm going back to sleep.

I think Care may be the only one who could take 「BENZIN」 in a straight fight, although that's only because he has no real power ceiling.

Also, if taken to its logical extreme, could 「Scissor Sister」 amputate Stands?

>>30059017
>[Starman] with its fabulous and tight outfit and its bulging crotch.

From all the things to quote... although I'm glad after all this time you guys still remember [Starman]oh, and Ziggy too I guess..

>>30060272
「Scissor Sister」 can cut anything, so it can amputate a stand's limb, thus dealing the same damage to the user. This of course isn't the case if they had special properties like [Benzin]'s shadows as seen in https://pastebin.com/Z9YauLdb.

As for [Scissor Sister]/Material Form, it could completely sever the connection of the stand from its user since "Severing" is the extreme form of cutting.Even abstract things like "concepts" could be severed if the weilder so desired it..

Jesus Christ. Wanted to get back to yall sooner but moving out of my college dorm took longer than I expected and my place for the summer has no internet for the next few months. You can thank the coffee bean for providing me the means to type this.

The idea I had for the lood stand story was that the stands themselves are manifestations of people's kinks. I already have some ideas for impact play, pet play, hypnosis, and a few other fetish based stands but I want to add more.

Anyway, most fights would either be the fighters trying to knock each other out or get the other person off. Each fight should also allow the characters to explore things they might not have known they were into otherwise and further explore their sexuality. This also develops their stands. The strength of the stand is directly proportional to to both how aroused they are by their kink and how they feel about themselves as a result of their kink. In my head it's less boring than it sounds and I'm hoping it sounds at least slightly interesting to someone.

Some stand ideas I have:
[Mr. TORTURE]
Appearance: A polished black coffin with a red plush interior.
Power - B
Speed - B~C depends on what's called out of it
Range - D
Durability - C
Precision - B
Potential - E
Stand Power: [Mr. TORTURE] allows it's user to summon various impact toys (Paddles, Whips, Floggers, ect) for use in battle. The coffin can hold a seemingly infinite ammount of impact toys and more can be added if the user acquires them. Toys stored in [Mr. TORTURE] can harm stands, but damage they take is not reflected to the user. However, if the coffin itself is damaged the user will be harmed.

People harmed or hurt by toys produced by Mr. Torture feel compelled to obey and submit to him. The more pain they feel, the stronger the urge to comply. People who have strong wills or high pain tolerance are less effected by this stand.
>>
>>30069659
[SWEET NOTHINGS]
Appearance: A black fountain pen
Power - E
Speed - D
Range - E~C
Durability - C
Precision - C
Potential - A
Stand Power: [SWEET NOTHINGS] Think [ECHOS ACT 2] Combined with [HEAVAN'S DOOR]. When a sensation is written on someone with [SWEET NOTHINGS], that person will feel the written sensation. For example, if hot wax was written on a person's arm that person would feel hot wax being poured on their arm. The more vivid the description, the more intense the sensation. This effect is limited to sensations that can realistically be felt by the human body. Additionally, if a person is aroused by a given sensation, subsequent attacks by [SWEET NOTHINGS] are more powerful. This also works in reverse; if a person is turned off by a sensation [SWEET NOTHINGS] future attacks are weakened against them.

[MENAGERIE]
(I couldnt find any music related to a zoo that wasn't a children's song so I settled for a book title)
Appearance: A black leather collar. Once attached to a person it's appearance changes based on their personality.
Power - D->A
Speed - D
Range - D
Durability - A
Precision - C
Potential - D
Stand Power: Once secured around the neck of another individual, [MENAGERIE] begins to convert the said individual into one of it's users [PETS]. In this state they are compelled to answer any question asked by the user and will follow simple yes and no commands. Strong willed individuals can attempt to remove the collar at this stage and will suffer no ill effects. If an instance of [MENAGERIE] stays on for an extended period of time, the obedience to it's user is increased. Over time this results in an affected person becoming completely devoted to [MENAGERIE]'s user, at which point the collar becomes near impossible to remove.[MENAGERIE]'s user can have multiple [PETS] at a time but can only manifest one collar and [TRAIN] one individual at a time. [PETS] can be summoned for defense at any time, even using their stands if they have one.
>>
>>30069943
However, this strains [MENAGERIE]'s user. Furthermore, multiple [PETS] can be difficult to order around at once.

I have a few more ideas but I think this is enough for now. How does it sound?

That is an interesting concept and I encourage you to write more about it.
All these stands you've come up with are quite creative.
[MENAGERIE] sounds terrifying if it were used on someone who isn't a stand user, slowly losing their will to an unseen force around their neck.

I wonder what kind of stand a person who is only into vanilla stuff would end up with.
>>
>>30070312
Glad to see someone liked the concept!
>[MENAGERIE] sounds terrifying if it were used on someone who isn't a stand user, slowly losing their will to an unseen force around their neck.

[MENAGERIE] is the stand of one of the big bads so I wanted to make it as [MENACING] as possible without making it too OP. Also, stand users are the only guys who get time to panic since the first thing [MENAGERIE]'s user does is command them to be calm. [MENAGERIE] is of the main reasons for the plot in general since the main story is going to revolve around [SWEET NOTHINGS]'s user getting roped into the stand world and tracking down missing persons. [MENAGERIE] and two other stand users are just some of the reasons people are vanishing. To say any more would be spoilers.

>I wonder what kind of stand a person who is only into vanilla stuff would end up with.
More vanilla people get weaker stands but have larger development potential as a result. [SWEET NOTHINGS] is one example of this and once he matures he'll be very, very, powerful.

I wrote some rough ideas down for other stands and I can shove em in a pastebin when I get the chance. The more structured stand ideas I got center around vore, inanimate doll transformations and Size changing so those will be the first new stands in there. Also, I'm trying to think of more humanoid designs for the stands since most of them are just objects right now. I'll shove what I got in the future pastebin but I'm always open for stand design and fetish stands in general.

Sounds like an interesting and properly bizarre Stand theme. If I were using it I'd treat it more like the Tarot cards or the Italian food names than a fully-fledged roster-builder, but there's so much potential in it I think there are plenty of places to go. Plus I'd like to see how long it is before my fetish appears.

I have a plan to include a hypnosis stand but I don't know how to go about it since it's so broad. There's your bimbo tf, drone tf, master pc type stuff, ect. I have a rough idea on how to go about it but it needs some work shopping to be different from [MENAGERIE]. I'm thing the main big bad will have whatever the hypnosis stand turns out to be, but that's an idea for a later date.

I'm thinking of sticking to the album name theme from the original anime but I might pick up some movie and book titles if I have too.

Given the breadth of your knowledge, I think you're certainly the right person for writing this sort of thing. And if I were making an archvillain hypnosis Stand, I'd base it on those stores of hypno-curse mp3s people buy to turn themselves into cows or lose the ability to read.

Attempt to create a stand based on the last song you listened to

>>30093562
Stand Name: [Don't Rock the Boat]

Namesake: https://youtu.be/FfBwsG8ubFw

Description: It is a golden ship rudder that attaches itself to any surface.
It allows the user to change the direction of any place where the rudder is conected thus making it mobile. The bigger the place, the slower it will move.
>>
>>30093562
Stand Name: 「Rockabye」
User: Button's Mom
Ability: Creates impenetrable globes of force around anything the user finds sentimentally valuable and acknowledges is in danger. These balls of force can still be moved, but they are equally impenetrable to the user.

>A group of non-users breaks in to rough her up for some reason.
>One gets knocked out when she throws Button's first haircut photo at him.
>Blocks another one with the macaroni art ornament he made for their Hearth's Warming Tree.
>Scattershots the rest with his baby teeth.
>>
>>30093562
Stand Name: [Courtesy]
Forces one target of the user's choice to be polite and respectful to them over the course of up to 1 hour. This includes usage of honorifics like sir or ma'am, holding doors, maintaining perfect posture, and even fighting without resorting to underhanded or unusual tactics. This politeness only extends to the user, and the victim will treat all other beings like dirt until the effect wears off.

From Derpibooru:

Stand: Basket Case
User: Sour Sweet
Namesake: Basket Case (Green Day song)
Manga Debut: Dawn of the Games! (silhouette) Archery Battle chapter 3 (Full appearance)

Stats
Destructive Power: C
Speed : D
Range : E (Later A)
Durability : C
Precision : B
Developmental Potential : C

Appearance
Basket Case is a humanoid, shadowy stand bound to its user’s shadow. It has its user features, albeit more exaggerated.

Ability
Basket Case main ability was to stole other people psychological balance, which was manifested in the real worlds as their "shadows". People whose "shadows" are being extracted slowly lose their sanity, and when the process is completed, they will become mad. This process is reversible should Sour granted the "shadow" to comeback to its owner. Sour Sweet horde these "Shadows" in order to balance her own self, who were suffering from several problem mental on her own.
Later on, Sour Sweet figure out a way to attach the stand into the shadows of object that she had a bond with, such as her archery gear arrows, increasing its range stats from E to A.

DB:

Stand Name: 「 SPACE JUNK 」
Stand Master: LOVE ROCKET
Namesake: SPACE JUNK – WANG CHUNG
Stand Ability: Friction Manipulation / Telekinesis
STATS
DESTRUCTIVE POWER: C
SPEED: A
RANGE: B
DURABILITY: D
PRECISION: A
DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL: C
Quick Summary: A very fast and accurate stand that can move quite far away from its user. It is not as big as most stands and therefore harder to hit with weapons and attacks, HOWEVER, due to its smaller size, it cannot take harder hits than most other stands, and its main strengths lie in attack and abilities rather than defense.The most common use for 「 SPACE JUNK 」 is to use it as a scout, or to use it to find and bring items to LOVE ROCKET. Its friction removal ability also lets her run faster than any other pony due to the absence of wind resistance.LOVE ROCKET obtained this stand when she was shot with the BOW AND ARROW during a rogue stand users rampage.

What should the next OP pic be?

Here's my suggestion.
>>
This is a stand i came up a couple months ago, figured you guys might like it
(It's totally possible i may have mentioned this one before)
[Mr. Brightside] takes the form of an enormous eyeball and eyelids
The eye itself is separated into hexagonal screens
If a stand is within it's cone of vision, it can shut down the stand's powers
As it develops, the screens can separate and the user can sit inside the eyelid
The screens can then show the user the exact location of any user they're aware of and, if they choose, remotely shut down that stand's powers
>>
>>30095663
Oh, i forgot to mention
The ability to monitor and shut down other stands remotely is called [Eager Eyes]
Also, it has no way to directly fight, so it's best used in a support role

Stand: Less I Know The Better https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBzrzS1Ag_g
User: Royal Pin / "Pokey Pierce"
Ability: Swaps whatever the user's holding for an object of equal value belonging to the target.

>>30095663
>>30095683
I don't think this one's been posted yet. It's interesting to think of how Stand users would cope with their powers suddenly being turned off.
>>
Also, here's a good off-thread Stand.

Stand- Shining Star
User- Twilight Sparkle (Twilight's Bizarre Adventure: Shining Road)
Power- B
Speed- A
Range- D
Durability- C
Precision- A
Potential- A
Ability- Star's shaped like Princess Twilight's Cutie Mark will be stamped on wherever Shining Star's fists have made contact and will 'enchant' anything to either follow or produce the verb written on the star. For example, stamping a broom with the word 'CLEAN' will cause the broom to move on its own and clean. Stamping a pot with the word 'CLEAN', however, will simply cause the pot to become clean. The effects of the stars can be resisted by those with stronger wills than Twilight.

>"No it ain't! And there are a few more volumes, but I don't think they are all about Daring Do. Wanna read them with me?"
>>"Those `mangoes` seem like a waste of time... but if Pointdexter likes them then I wouldn't mind giving them a look."
>"What about you Angel?"
>You don't think your brother would approve of you reading such things.
>"I think one of them is about a cat or something."
>... kitty.
"Ok, I'll stay."
>It couldn't be that bad, right?

Later that day...

"What's a brothel?"
>For some reason he spits it everywhere.
