Once again finding yourself seated in the corner of the L shaped couch you let out a sigh, everyone seemed to have recovered quickly from the aging stand and were now talking about their next course of action.
"As long as no one finds us, we should make it to Venice by tomorrow or the day after." Pointing that out from beside Fugo, Abbacchio crossed his arms nodding. The two were looking at what you could only assume was a mad.
Casting his gaze around the room Narancia pursed his lips together in though, "Man...everyone seems super bummed." Aiming that more towards the way Trish and Bruno were sitting his purple hues trailed to where you sat curled against the couch, back facing the rest of the room while your stand rested among your fingers. "I wonder if Bucciarati said something harsh to Trish or if something happened with (Y/N)."
Moving his own gaze towards the three Giorno shook his head, "No...I think Trish is just worried because Bucciarati hasn't told her anything and then with (Y/N) she just seems in though." Turquoise hues lingered over your form before moving back onto Trish. "She's very strong willed. She doesn't cry or complain at all."
Shifting in place and uncurling yourself, you moved into a cross legged position, your stand was still perched against your fingers lightly fluttering its wings before drifting towards the pink haired girl.
Shifting in her seat with a disgruntled sigh Trish's emerald hues focused on the golden insect which had drifted over landing on the armrest she was facing. Staring at the intricate detailing on its wings she slowly stuck a finger out, a small smile curling onto her lips after watching it hop over. Peering over her shoulder towards where you sat she felt comforted by the smile your own expression held.
It was almost like you could tell she wasn't really with it.
A sudden loud screeching noise caught everyone's attention and each set of eyes were trained onto the ceiling. Standing up from his chair Bruno spoke, "What just happened?"

Hopping up to his feet as well Fugo pointed towards the gunslinger, "Mista, you were keeping watch on the ceiling, weren't you? What happened?"
"Huh? Me? I-I haven't the slightest- I wasn't watching at the moment...huh? Maybe the truck stopped..."Trailing off and raising a hand to rub his chin, the strawberry blond let out a groan.
"You had one job."
"What? How was it my fault? The guy probably had too much to drink or something." Crossing his arms and insisting that you couldn't help but roll your eyes at the response.
"Must've been the or something part." Muttering that and resting your chin in the palm of your hand you didn't dare look towards Mista as you spoke, a part of you still couldn't properly register what happened on the train.
"Regardless of what happened, we'll need to find a way of transportation." Speaking up Abbacchio let out a sigh flipping open the map him and Fugo had been looking at prior to the truck stopping. "We should be around here and there's a parking lot not too far. We should be able to get a car there."
Coming to a quick conclusion on what to do the group was at said parking lot in no time, the sun had seemed to dip below the horizon leaving only the growing blanket of night.
Finding yourself sitting along the small cement walls surrounding the lot Giorno stood beside you, the two of you observing the other four.
Narancia let out an impatient groan resting a hand on the ground, "Let's just steal one already."
Fugo shook his head quickly at the statement, "Are you stupid? Word would spread in no time and go right to the enemy. Then they'll be waiting to ambush us!" Nodding along to what he was saying your gaze moved from the group towards the blood standing quietly beside you.
Not a peep left the man and he was fully focused on the conversation, that or he was thinking about something else entirely. "You look like you have an idea." Reaching out and lightly tugging at his jacket your gaze was now focused on him. "Come on share with the class."

A puff of air left the guy almost like a soundless laugh before he hopped over the concrete wall where you were seated, "Watch." Merely saying one word as he passed by, you did as you were told watching Giorno's stand appear. The golden colour of it reminded you of your own stand while some rounded purple ladybug designs were spread out across its body, similar to the blue brooches the blond had.
Approaching one of the cars parked in the lot the stand took a swing launching it into the air, the action right away caught the others attention and Fugo was the first to speak stepping over the concrete barrier, "Wh-what are you doing, Giorno?"
Turning back to address the question he raised his hand motioning towards the rest of the cars, "If we steal only one, we'll be caught immediately. But if we steal a hundred..." His stand once again zipped through the parking lot sending more cars up into the air before they crashed back down onto the lot. "If it isn't just a single car that disappeared, and if they're all found in pieces at different locations," The car parts around him glowed a bright golden hue before diminishing, showing an array of small frogs.
Quickly scooting off the wall and onto the ground you held out your hands watching one of the frogs hop onto it cautiously, raising the animal up to eye level you seemingly finished what Giorno was getting at. "Meaning it'll be harder for them to locate us and that should give us more time to get where we need to."
Raising to your feet still holding onto the frog, your eyes seemed to brighten at how clever the blond was, it also always seemed that as of late you could finish each other's train of thought."
Watching the other frogs scamper away you lightly placed the one in hand back down onto the pavement watching it join it's buddies. The other men standing along the other side of the wall each commented something intune with their characteristics.
Hopping over the wall almost effortlessly Abbacchio extended the turtle out towards Giorno, "You tell Bucciarati. Here." Effectively shoving the animal into the blonds arms the silver haired man turned away nudging you towards where the other four were heading. "We're going to go get a car."
Getting roped into watching Mista attempt to hotwire a car you decided to just sit on top of the hood. There was still an awkward rush of emotions whenever you were faced with the gunslinger, but at the moment the others were around occupying your mind.
Tapping your fingers along the hood of the car Fugo made a comment for the man to hurry up, but not really having the patience you slid off the car making your way towards the drivers side. "Ok, I'm tagging in. Get out." Jutting a thumb back and waiting for Mista to comply he stared at you for a moment.
"You know how to hotwire a car?"
Rolling your eyes at the question and reaching over to drag the man out from the seat you slid into the car tugging at the wires he held previously, "My family's crazy strict, of course I do." Inputting that and gripping the two wires you tapped the two copper ends together a few quick times before finally the engine roared to life.
Patting your hands together as though you'd just done a bunch of hard work a smile kept onto your expression, "Car's ready to go."
Staring at you with his eyes raised Narancia let out a low whistle, "Damn a medic and can hotwire a car. That's hot." A yelp quickly left the male after that comment seeing as the white haired man beside didn't appreciate the statement.
"Watch yourself Narancia."

Y/N asking Giorno what he's thinking before seeing a bunch of tiny frogs:
Ya'll can I just say as of Feb 12 2021 I have reached #1 in jjba and #4 in jojosbizarreadventure?! Like that's wild oh my god, I mean I've been in #1 for jjb once before but it's been a week and that just makes me so thankful for everyone who's been reading this story!

This Used to be About Dungeons
This Used to be About Dungeons is a comfy slice-of-life adventuring story that occasionally features dungeons. Updates Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Mostly it's about walking in the woods with a friend, looking for mushrooms to put in your soup, or haggling with the guy selling squash, or taking care of a neglected garden. It's putting some jam on shortbread biscuits. And yes, sometimes you go down into the dungeons with your friends, and you kill monsters there, or disarm traps, but when you come out, you realize you've found the perfect magic item to give to one of the local kids that helped you out when your cat was sick. Look, the dungeons are always going to be there, and sometimes you need to make a journey to one of the Spirit Gates, or make a pilgrimage with the local Cleric of Symmetry to a holy shrine. Your tour through the local dungeons can wait. You'll have rivalries with other groups, and find some dungeon eggs that need to be carefully incubated in case they turn out to be something valuable, and help a friend to build a fishing weir. There's a big world out there, a mostly tame place with lots of magic, and even more to do and see. Join me, won't you?The cover image is Morning Sunlight Effect, Eragny, by Camille Pissarro.
8 374Beast
A threat to the galaxy has come from another, and the Union of intelligent life will go to any length to stop it. Military Quarantine has held for hundreds of thousands of cycles. Traders, merchants, colonists, and Pirates live risky lives along the fringes as the politics from the inner systems fail to see the larger threats beyond their borders. A lone human finds himself far from home with no memories to how he arrived. A failing Trade vessel plays on a desperate gamble, while a malicious parasite searches for a suitable host. ............................................. Author's note: Beast is a story that I wrote a long, long time ago. Some of you might have read it then, back when it was posted on reddit over at r/HFY. It was my first webfiction and made in the spirit of that subreddit's "genre" of humanity being awesome. But, it is also a story that has bothered me a little bit. Just like most new writers tend to do, I made mistakes and errors that feel painful to reread. A Space Opera will be a Space Opera, but I had prose that makes present-me cringe. Still, at the same time, the story is still very much a tale I've never given up on. It was my first adventure into fiction: Beast was a crazy adventure with bodysnatching aliens, galactic war, threats from across the universe... Posting this story here is a way to try and redeem myself a bit. I won't call it a complete rewrite, because it's not, but I have wanted to go through and correct some of the major issues Beast has for a long time and put it somewhere more accessible to read (instead of as posts/comments on reddit) and I figure that now is as good a time as any. Additional corrections you might notice are welcome.
8 182Sylph Resurgence
Our protagonist Kai has his mother taken away from him at a young age, an act apparently committed by demons. Now, 7 years on, Kai embarks on a new adventure as he begins the new school year at the esteemed Zion Academy in the kingdom of Nirvania, where adventures await him in a world embroiled in tensions which is full of surprises and mysteries at the same time. A month has passed since Night Wing's incursion on the capital of Nirvania, Nirvana. However, that isn't the end of Nirvania's problems, with war against its warmongering neighbour, Miran looking ever more likely than before. To make matters worse, tensions have been stoked between the Sylph Kingdom and Nirvania by the Chaos Legion, the true enemies hiding in the darkness, opening the possibility to a war on 2 fronts. Kai may only be a 2nd Year student at Zion Academy, but the raging storms of this chaotic era spare no one, especially given his close ties to Adeline, the Sylph Princess. Can Kai circumvent the tides of chaos and live to see the end of what is likely to be a 3rd Holy War? Will Nirvania stand strong against its foes, or crumble and be washed away by the sands of time? 2 years had passed since the conclusion of the 3rd Holy War, which was achieved by the combined efforts of the Nirvanian Army, the 10 Saints and Kai's team, which have been affectionately known thereafter as the Rising 8; a group of rapidly rising youths revered as national heroes for their contributions in putting an end to the 3rd Holy War. Moreover, relations between all 4 Kingdoms on the Central Continent, namely Nirvania, Miran, Cameron and the Sylph Kingdom, have reached unprecedented heights, ushering an age of peace. However, danger lies ever closer, with the Chaos Legion staying low over the past 2 years, awaiting the perfect opportunity to rear its ugly head. Even though Kai had trained hard over the past 2 years to master both his demonic and Sylph ancestry, when the battle has evolved from between mortals to that of the seemingly immortal Chaos Generals, can Kai and his fellow Nirvanians rise above the odds with their allies and vanquish the chaos?
