001 - video

[A yawn can be heard as the blonde-haired boy stared blankly into the bracelet, rotating it around as it was on his wrist. Well, looks like the thing is working properly, might as well address something.]

I'll never be able to get over how something like this, and such a place, can exist. One cannot doubt what life can throw at someone such as myself, and instead, I take it with open arms. With that out of the way, I think it's only formal to address who I am. Some of you know who I am already, but at this point, it seems irrelevant.

[This was a lot easier then he expected, alas, Giorno cannot help, but smirk at the ease of this. He needs something like this for Passione, but seeing as how that's not possible at the moment...]

Giorno Giovanna. Now then, unto the reason for making this...

It seems that after a little chat with someone I recently met here, it came to my attention that I need to...socialize. [The side of his mouth budged at the mention of that word. Jeez, this really is awkward.] And these bracelets seem to help out a lot in that matter. However, if you want to converse, feel free. If not, be on your way, I don't have time to waste on you. [He says this, a stare that pierces the soul.] ...did I sound harsh?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Well, that certainly matched his expectations. Noting that, Giorno began to write some notes down as to not be confused if he sees an odd creature running around.] So it's like a pet of sorts, only more intelligent then normal. I see...do they have anything special about them? Or are they just plain? [In a way, they sound like what Golden Experience is to him. Except, not an animal, and more a Humanoid Guardian.]

Ah, you don't have one yourself? Or is there one by your side?

[So many things to take in, but it's for good experience.]

Clumsy, not on point, but a cook... [Not what he expected, although how does she manage...!?] Hm, interesting, to say the least. And I can assume this "poffin" is also some sort of delicacy from where you come from? [Who is this someone, though...]

Hm...you can say that! They're over 200 species of them and they're all unique so I wouldn't say they're plain. In fact, they're all pretty special! I would go on but I think that would take a while...

Oh no, I have two with me right now. You want to see them? [As she began digging around her purse for the pokeballs, she started the conversation again] So you get to pick one or two! Which will it be?

[You want a giant flaming pig or a pink misty psychic anteater/elephant/pig thing?]

I wouldn't say it's a delicacy...it more that it's a treat for pokemon! We use certain ingredients and bake it up for them! If we feel like it, we can make it pretty and have it look just like the pokemon!

[coouuugghhhh]

Oh, so they are like regular animals, well that's something to behold. ...Why are they named Pokemon, though? That's my biggest gripe at the moment. [Should've just named them "Pigeon" or "Pig" really-]

[Oh wait, she's offering to actually show him what they look like. This might be interesting.] Hm, two? I'd actually like to see them both, if you don't mind. [What's the worse that can happen? They can't be as bad as regular pets.]

[Although a giant flaming pig might just render his psyche useless.]

[...So what does make them different from regular animals? Something he's not catching...] Hm, so if a human were to eat it, it wouldn't fare well with their stomach, if you're so keen on making this someone poffins. Unless of course they're your boyfriend, or something along those lines.

Because that's what they're called? [/derp] Otherwise, it would be really difficult to find a name to call all of them in general! It would be hard to say Emboar, Simisage, Pikachu, so on when we can just summarized them all in one word!

Of course not! Let me switch over to video! [Once she does, you get to see a blond haired girl with a really big green hat.] Can you see me okay? If not, that's too bad because I'm going to show you them now! Come on out, Emboar and Musharna! Say hi to our new friend!

[Hi, have creatures that look like this and this! Yes, they're really big as the flaming pig gives a wave to him. The other one just starrreeeeesssssss. Yes, with her eyes closed.]

Pretty much but he was someone that taught me how to make it so it would be nice if I would be able to make something right back! Just as a way to say thank you for helping me! But um...y-yeah, he is.

Well, that's not entirely what I was asking there, but I guess that answers the question just nicely. Ah, so the species do have different names, just like animals do...although Emboar makes it sound like there's a pig on fire. [Oh Giorno, you know nothing of the Pokemon world.]

[Well, that's certainly a mesmerizing hat right there-although she did look different then he imagined her to.] I can see you just fine, hold on... [He switched over to video himself, and his face is all, but enthusiastic at this point.] Well, they can't look all to-

[Hi, have a blonde boy sit there, speechless at what just happened. That really is a giant flaming pig thing. And it waved at him. His eyes drifted over to the other thing, which he assumes is Musharna...is it just floating in mid-air!? Now he's certainly expressionless along with the inability to even talk at this point.]

...th-that's...lovely...that you have a...b-boyfriend... [He's still just staring at that floating anteater thing.]

That's because Emboar is on fire! That's why he's named that! There's also a bunch of others that make sense too! Like Vanillish since it's a pokemon that looks like ice cream and Chandelure since it's a pokemon that looks like chandelier!

[As the he turns on the video, she had a feeling this would happen. While she had been living in a world where people are use to pokemon, she needed to get use to the fact that others might not. Whoops]

Uh...are you okay? They're really nice pokemon so there's nothing to be worried about!

[That doesn't really help, Bianca]

Edited 2013-02-07 20:15 (UTC)

...There's an ice cream and a chandelier Pokemon? [He snaps out of his trance from staring at Musharna for so long. He could've sworn that it was reading his mind...it wasn't, right?] There's so much I need to learn about these things... [His eyes narrowed back in on the fire pig, as he decided to wave back at it.]

[He did calm down a bit at this point, getting past the initial shock of seeing these things first hand. Although, now that he was noticing it, they didn't look all too bad, albeit that the floating anteater thing was still freaking him out a bit.]

I'm fine right now, they really do seem like nice creatures. I assume they have special abilities, judging by your Emboar on fire and Musharna floating.

[...that music...where is it coming from!?]

Edited 2013-02-07 20:23 (UTC)

And since there's over 200 species of them, I'm going to have to learn a lot! Since there different types of pokemon in different regions, I have to do my best to learn them all! It'll be difficult but I know I can do it!

[Because hell yeah learning! And no, it's just a figment of your imagination!]

Yup, you got it right! Emboar is a fire type and Musharna is a psychic type! You'll be seeing a lot more around here so be prepared! They're all different types so maybe you can look and see which type they are!

[~~Just a figment of your imagginnaatttiooonnnn~~]

I like the fact that you're committed into learning all of these different species of Pokemon. A bit air-headed, but a good heart. Hm, I feel as if I'll enjoy your company a bit more, Bianca. Do your best in your research; I know you can do it.

[Screw learning, he has some other things to worry about.]

A fire type and a psychic type... [Thinking in process...ding!] There wouldn't happened to be any sort of plant type of Pokemon, are there? [His eyes started to shine a little bit.] I have a certain fascination with plants, you see.

...oh, is there anything you'd like to know about me?

[ ~~Oh god that weird gas is leaking into his brain.~~]

[Bianca knows she's a bit air-headed which is why she lets out a small sigh. However, she lets out a small giggle.]

There's a lot of pokemon books here so it's going to be difficult! Have you seen the library? It's pretty big so it's hard to find certain books! You know I had some trouble finding a book Hanako told me about! It took me a few days to find it!

[Oh Nightlight]

Yeah, of course, I think there's one here right now! If you ever meet a boy named Lucas, ask him about Torterra! He's a grass pokemon so...that's the closest thing to plant type here?

[Or ask Asahi about the Turtwig egg]

I actually haven't been to the library yet. I've been meaning to get some good reading in while I was here, too...ah, there's Pokemon books here? Well, I might as well read one to get a good idea of how they work. It's nice to learn about new things...ah, Hanako? She's been a big help to me since I've been here.

[Dear god Nightlight]

[Although, hearing that there are plant-esque Pokemon here makes his smile lift a bit more. Or, at least, as long as it isn't as big as flame-pig over there...or as freaky as...that thing.] Lucas? I'll be sure to ask him a thing or two about that grass Pokemon...

[Oh good lord not Asahi]

Yea but since there are many different regions out there, they're all scattered around! So it's really hard to find all the books there! And besides, sometimes they have books on a certain type and it gets really confusing from there too!

Yeah, she is! She got me to read the book but I only read the first one. I don't know about the other two.

[And thank goodness]

There's also one of Touya's pokemon too since serperior is a grass type sooo you can ask either one of them! I'm sure they're more than willing to help you out about grass types! I think they have growth as their ability so that makes it even better!

[Like shaking the pokemon egg. Why.]

Nothing I couldn't handle, although I might have to free up some time to actually get all of this stuff done. Maybe one day you can help me learn more about the different types, this actually seems like it's worth the research.

Oh, a series, I didn't know she was into books. Hm, the more you know, I suppose. Pray, tell me, what is this series about?

[No Giorno stop now]

These Pokemon are eerily similarly named after the animals back home...I can assume serperior is some sort of serpent. [Growth...!] They even have similar abilities to me, what a coincidence that they would be affiliated with those types of Pokemon...

[No why would she do that.]

Oh? Does that mean you want to learn about pokemon too? [giggle] That's great, I got another student who wants to learn! Now it's officially two! At this rate, I'll have a whole bunch of students in Asgard! It'll be just like having my own school!

You mean Nightlight? Let's see...it's about a girl who falls in love a supernatural creature! As a result, there are a lot of things that go on like a war and a forbidden romance! There's a lot more but I don't want to spoil you!

[Save yourself while you can!]

You're right, Serperior is a serpent! In fact, he looks just like a snake! [And a very smuf snake at that!] Hm...I never thought about it that way but that is a good point. I know Hilda and me have the ability to heal but we doesn't have a grass type with us right now. So...I guess so?

[She does what she wants]

It is as I just said, they do seem to be interesting, plus I can make some good comparisons between them and the creatures from where I come from. [Seeing as how some of them can be ice cream.] Ah, you have someone else wanting to learn about them, as well? I wonder if it's anybody I know...can I get a name from you?

...that sounds second-rate already. I think I might pass on that. Tch, I was hoping for some cop drama, or maybe something that had to do with the mafia...more love stories plaguing us. It's about time they stopped with it...

[Yeah I think he just barely got away.]

Why does it seem like I can guess based on their name... [Well.] Healing? I'm not sure if that's also a power you can gain from Sigyn, as well. Isn't it?

[Poor baby grass turtles]

Oh really? What kind of creatures do you see back home? Maybe I can give you some ideas on how similar or different they are? ...Or at least, based on what I know so far! And his name is Satoshi! He has blond hair and is a bit taller than me! Do you know him?

[Please tell her you're from the wonderful world of Higurashi too]

Hm? Mafia stories? I don't think I ever read a book like that before. I know there are some cop shows back home that my parents like to watch sometimes but I never got a chance to really look at it.

[And they're really pretty cheesy anyway]

There are some really tricky ones too! Lliikkkkeee Reshiram! Do you know what type that is? [What is this Jeopardy?] It's a power you can gain from there! A lot of my other Sigyn friends have it too so...yeah!

They're the most common things, ranging from pigeons to snakes to turtles, to insects, like a ladybug, or a fly. [Turtles he's akin to, seeing as how his trusty adviser is a turtle. Not even kidding here.] I don't think I've heard of this person before, so I wouldn't say I know him, sorry.

[Sorry, although where he comes from, dudes get evaporated by viruses. It's fun!]

Yes, ah, the life of a gangster...ah, I don't think I've explained this before, but... [Oh boy.] ...You're looking at a Mafia Boss. [So he says, oh so non-chalantly.] Although, we're not the type of mafia you would expect.

[...thinking back, he...probably shouldn't have said that. Oh well.]

...Unfortunately, something like that I don't think I can decipher right off the bat. I think I would need to take time to learn this. [does that mean he loses points] Hm, looks like I'm one of the few to have growth, then...

Edited 2013-02-10 02:56 (UTC)

That sounds a lot like some of the pokemon we have. I know we have a lot of bug type pokemon and there's one that's a ladybug so there's that! I'm not sure about a fly... [But it would be creepy]

[And no dying by viruses! It's evil and really mean and sad! For a moment, Bianca just stares at the boy in front of her.]

....You're a mafia boss. I didn't know that.

[Wait for it..........]

....EH?! That must mean it must be really difficult for you back home then! You should have told me sooner! Doesn't that mean there will be a lot of people after you!?

[Yup]

And I think I should give you a lesson now? It's one of the most powerful pokemon out there so it's a dragon type! It's also a fire type too! [blink blink] So there's your first lesson in pokemon?

Then I'll just have to ask Lucas or Hilbert about it! I don't think they would mind helping a person out in learning about growth!

[He begins to mess around with the ladybug broach that sits upon his shirt.] So there are some ladybug Pokemon out there. I'm sure if there was a fly, it would freak some people out. [Especially an overgrown one.]

[Funny how his friend was the one that administered that virus. Eh heh. Oh look, he just stares back.]

Well, not really. If anyone were to come close to me, they'd face a rather...unpleasant scene. See, I'm blessed with a Spiritual Guardian called a "Stand", and it has...special properties. [Endless death to anyone who tries to kill him, basically.] Besides, I'm doing my best to clean up the streets, so I see no reason why anyone would target me.

...A rather powerful fire-dragon? Well, like the tells of old lore, I suppose. Hm, my first lesson... [What's next, breeding?]

Eh? Oh, oh no, I have Hanako to help me out with growth, actually. Although, having the others input would help me out, as well. [Although Hanako seems kind enough as it is.]

But I wouldn't be surprised if there was one out there! If a fly is really scary to humans, then it might be really scary to pokemon too! [HAHAHAHA- okay no. With that, she stares at him a bit] Hm, what's that? What's on your shirt?

[Evil evil jerks]

So...you're in a mafia but you're one of the good guys? You're like a cop right? But it sounds like this Spiritual Guardian must be something really powerful if people don't want to mess around with you! Especially if you're the boss!

Old lore...? What do you mean? [If you want a lesson in breeding, go watch the Nightlight birthing scene. It's amazing.]

Oh right! I forgot Hanako had that ability too, how silly of me! I wonder who else am I forgetting who has it too...

I could only imagine the reactions if a giant fly were to land on on someone's head. Could you imagine their facial reaction? [A small pause. actually, no, no that wouldn't be fun at all.] ...oh, this. It's my ladybug broach. I've had this for a while, as ladybugs are...quite fascinating to me. [He's still messing around with it.] Want to see it come to life?

[He's a good guy he swears]

You could say that, the cops where I come from don't do anything. We're really the ones in power around there. And what my mafia is trying to do is clean up the drugs on the streets, along with anything else criminal like. Yes, you could say my Stand is...powerful. [He coughs. Powerful? That's an understatement.]

Like legends, you know, of fire-breathing dragons? [No. That was terrifying. ]

I honestly don't know anyone else with growth, maybe I should ask around a bit. But yes, Hanako is quite helpful and nice with me. Although, I think she is with anyone...

I can imagine that they would be really scared or scream loudly! I know I would and it wouldn't be fun! [Nope, it wouldn't one bit! But she does lean in a bit closer to hear Giorno better. As she listened to his words, her eyes widen once more. He was just full of surprises wasn't he?] Eh? You can do that? Is that what your ability does? To bring things to life?! I want to see, I want to see!

But why don't they do anything? Isn't that their job to help people? [Huh] If your ability is that special, then that means you're able to do a lot of things most people don't soooo...that must mean you're a superhero! Especially if you're that powerful! [Yay superheros!]

Not really...because Reshiram is the legendary fire breathing dragon! [And a 15 year old caught him. Beware of Hilbert and Hilda]

Hm...I don't know much about growth myself but I can try? There should be something in the library about so we can go over there and look if you want!

Yeah, the more I think about it, the more...repulsive it would be to see a fly like that around. This is why I prefer ladybugs. [A smile-oh, she wants to see, huh?] Yes, I can bring things to life, actually. For example, I can turn a brick into, say, a some vines, or a jacket into a snake of sorts. But of course, this would become a ladybug. [A little sigh, though.] ...Unfortunately, my Stand, Gold Experience, is...sleeping ever since we came here. So until I can find a way to make it come back, this ladybug will stay dormant.

The cops are just powerless compared to the wealth of the mafia. But...if you want to believe that I'm a superhero, you should see what my friends can do, as well. [To be honest, he's quite scared of what Trish's stand can do to him.]

Really? That's spectacular, I want to see one. [15 year olds are pretty cool. (Believe it or not, Giorno's 15 too).]

Ah, you want to go? ...I can comply with that.

I don't blame you, flies are really creepy compared to ladybugs! People sound like ladybugs some more, they're really cute! [And that is the truth!] Ehhh, but that's not fair! If you're suppose to be a good guy, you should be able to keep it! [Pause] But then again, I wouldn't mind having the rest of my pokemon team with me. Hm...I wonder what the Gods do once they take away that power anyway? What do they do with it?

[But her questioning quickly turns into surprise to hear that the mafia were more powerful than the cops. It shouldn't be a surprise but hey, at least these mafia people are good! Still the fact that there are MORE powerful people than he is? Awesome]

Hm? There are other super superheros?! How powerful are they? They must be really strong if they're able to do something else other than bring something to life! [What else gets better than that?]

Then you'll just have to ask Hilda to see one! In fact, you can stop by over to the poketopia sometime! I think Reshiram likes to pop out of its pokeball once in a while! [And enabling more people to go, muahahha]

Ah really? You want to go now? Um...where are you? I'm in Sigyn right now so I can come and meet you at the welcoming hall if you're there!

Everything comes with a price, it seems. I don't know what the Gods intend to do with the power once it's taken, but for them to take my Golden Experience away would mean...I would be dead. And that's not the case, it seems. So maybe they just...seal them up. I know nothing of their reasoning, but I would like to someday. [And look, he frowns a bit.] ...please refrain from calling me a "good guy". I've had enough of that from a certain woman. [Tch, how annoying she was too.]

...Oh, you mean my friends? Well, Mista can redirect bullets with his Stand, which is perfect for assassinations. Trish's stand is able to soften anything it touches, which could lead to some devastating attacks. Would you like to be softened up? [A joke, of course.] And there's one that can erase time, but...he's long gone now. The others...

[A sigh. He doesn't want to mention Abbachio, Narancia, or Buccellati. He wonders how they're doing...]

Hilda? That's a rather...eccentric name. [He can picture a woman standing on a hill with a goat by her. Yeesh. That's not pretty.] ...Excuse me, poketopia?

...Oh, luck of the draw. I'm in my room at Sigyn. I'll meet you there at once. [And so here is Giorno's uneventful journey to the front of the welcome hall! It shouldn't be hard to spot a big poofy hat...]
