《Jotaro Kujo (Part 6) - Remember Us》Welcome
Advertisement
After the boat docked, Jotaro and I walked down the stairs.
The group of three came over to us.
Josuke stepped up and greeted, "Jotaro. It's been a while. I mean..." He looked at me. "Were you the one to talk to me on the phone."
I nodded, "Yes."
He laughed sheepishly, "Sorry about being a little overbearing."
"No no!" I said. "You have the right to be suspicious of a random person calling you like that."
Koichi asked, "So he really..." He looked up at Jotaro with a expression of pity.
Jotaro stared at him back. His brow furrowed.
I tugged his hand to get his attention.
"Hm?" He didn't look away from Koichi. His stare was getting so intense that it was turning into a glare .
"Hun," I whispered. "What's up?"
Koichi took a step back and laughed nervously. "So he really doesn't remember anything?"
"Yeah," I answered. "He only had some pictures to go off of."
"Oi!" Okuyasu piped up. "So are you his bae or something?!"
"Okuyasu!" Koichi shrilled.
"Well..." I said hesitantly. "Yeah." I held my hand up showing my ring.
"Um," Koichi said even more nervous than before.
Jotaro was still staring at him.
"Jotaro," I elbowed him in the side softly. "What is up with you?"
Finally, his attention turned to me. He pointed at Koichi. "Kakyoin?"
What?
"No," I corrected. "That's Koichi." Then I pointed to Josuke. "This is Josuke." Then I pointed to Okuyasu. "And Okuyasu."
Jotaro laid off of staring at Koichi.
Josuke said carefully, "Hi, I'm Josuke. Well, they already told you. I'm your uncle!"
"Right," Jotaro said. "My grandfather told me about you. You're his son..."

"Yep."
"That's so bizarre."
I said, "How about we go somewhere to get a bite to eat? I'm sure your hungry." I looked to Jotaro for confirmation.
He nodded.
I asked, "So where's a good place to get something to eat?"
And we were off to get something delicious to eat. We ended up at an outdoor cafe.
Okuyasu went ahead home as he had to feed his cat and take care of his father. Before leaving he said with all honesty, "I was here to be back up my buddy, Josuke, but since it seems everything is under control, I'm gonna go ahead and head out. See you later!" There was something wholesome about this guy.
So we were left with Koichi and Josuke.
Josuke asked, "So what brought you guys here?"
I answered, "Since Jotaro lost his memories, I thought it would be nice to meet his family all over again and jog some memories." And put him at ease, but I wasn't going to blurt his business out like that.
"Ah," he said. "To be honest, it's been a long time since you came here, Jotaro. I can tell you about how we met and stuff. How about that?"
Jotaro nodded, "That doesn't sound too bad."
I shrugged. I had no idea how they met, nor do I know about most of what happened, so this was great suggestion. There were a lot of things I missed. Maybe hearing Josuke's side would be better than Jotaro's gloomy side.
Josuke told us about how they met. It was bad when Josuke was 16. Then he moved to the topic of finding the arrow and how they spent the summer trying to secure it. They had to deal with a lot, but the problem was solved, and there hasn't been a problem since.

After all of that, it would put Jotaro at ease.
Well, I thought so.
"Um," Josuke said awkwardly.
Behind Jotaro was Star Platinum. His stand was glancing around on alert, but Jotaro appeared calm as ever. In fact, Jotaro seemed quite attentive to Josuke and Koichi.
"Star Platinum is out," Koichi wavered.
"What is?" Jotaro said confused.
Star Platinum has came out multiple times, but it has never occurred to me that he wasn't aware! Nor did I not take into consideration that he would not remember Star Platinum!
"Um," Josuke said, trying to be polite. "Are you okay?"
I reached under the table to gently grab Jotaro's hand.
He looked at me.
I was able to see it.
He may have such a closed off expression, but there were small things that was showing that he was on edge. He was sweating a bit more than usual. His breaths were a bit deeper. His jaw was clenched.
I suggested, "The journey was probably a bit much. I'm tired myself. How about we see you guys later?"
Josuke said, "Yeah. It doesn't sound that bad at all."
I glanced at Jotaro's stand.
He was still looking around us.
I manifested my stand.
Josuke and Koichi gasped at the sight of my stand. It was warranted since I never told them of my stand.
My stand came to his and wrap their arms around Star's shoulders. It was more of a comforting embrace.
Star seemed to calm down. He disappeared, so I made my stand do the same.
I stood up and said, "Thanks for telling us all of this. Next time, we should talk more."
Jotaro and I left to go to Morioh Grand hotel. Just as we arrived and sat our bags down, Jotaro slumped down on the couch. He seemed to be out of breath.
Maybe going out immediately on arrival was not a good idea.
I sat down on the other side of the couch.
Just then, I recognized how we were sitting. It was just like the day I met him. He was on one side of the couch as he drunk, and I watched out for him.
Now here we are.
And doesn't even remember.
I glanced at him. He was in worse shape than I thought. "Hun, I called."
Jotaro looked at me partially hiding under his hat.
I pat my lap.
He just stared at me.
I reached for his head and guided him down to lay on my lap.
Jotaro tensed for a second. Then he slowly relaxed. He closed his eyes as I caressed his cheek. He placed a hand on my knee and exhaled.
I didn't recognized that his anxiety could take so much out of him. I said quietly, "You did quite well today. We will see them again."
A slight smile grew on his face. The smile disappeared as his breathing slowed. A little snore escaped his lips.
Jotaro has fallen alseep.

Threads
A legendary landmass long since believed lost to the world reappears in the seas of the island nation of Annitou, setting off a frantic race by the surrounding governments to acquire its allegedly powerful secrets. From every corner of the map comes settlers, merchants, pirates, and the strongest enforcers of each country's sovereignty: the Agents, individuals with unique, sometimes seemingly divine talents which can rival the power of even an army. However on the lawless frontier of the newly rediscovered island of Jinchi, national loyalties and personal ambition are put to the real test. Threads follows the interconnected stories of individuals from all strata of this world, from the lowly in-training cadets, to the mighty and seemingly invincible generals, to the otherwise innocuous and 'powerless' civilians. Each person holds a piece of the puzzle- but nobody can say how it will ultimately be put together.

Thief of Time
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Book 1: The Legend of Tot Synopsis: Claud Primus, a self-declared master thief, has a simple goal. To live forever. It's a rather easy task, for miraculous objects called lifestones are able to extend one's lifespan. These lifestones are best found in the treasuries of nobles, lovely resorts that Claud pays a visit to every so often. Unfortunately, one of those nightly visits go awry, and Claud is forced to escape with just a single lifestone and a box in hand. Normally, that's when things die down. The guards yawn, the gates close, and the night continues. But this time, the night isn't that forgiving. A dozen schemes result in the murder of someone important, and with a convenient scapegoat — Claud — at hand, it doesn't take long for him to be framed as a heinous criminal, wanted for the indirect murder of someone high up...and it just gets worse from there. Book 2: The Moon Lords' Rise Synopsis: As ordered chaos sweeps across Licencia, Claud leaves for Julan Barony, intent on making some profits there. Accompanied by the erstwhile heiress of Julan, a fellow member of the Moon Lords, the two plot against the barony's wealth...as well as a promise to bring about its downfall. Meanwhile, back home, the Moon Lords have busied themselves with digesting their gains. Eyes, however, are beginning to turn to this proverbial fish in a small pond. The fishermen are coming. When they cast their hook, what will Dia and the others do? Book 3: Murders under the Moons Synopsis: In the sleepy town of Nachtville, where Claud and Lily are forced to stop at, a set of nasty murders occurs. Victims scream out in fright, before a spear falls from the sky to end their suffering. Cowed and cautious, the master thief and his partner slink in the shadows, their objective that of home... A new task, however, has fallen on Dia. With a trusty helper at her side, she has to set off towards Nachtville itself, to solve the mystery Claud had abandoned. Faced with an enemy whose sole skillset is geared towards killing, how will they succeed? And what dark secrets will they find? Book 4: In the Dark of the Moons Synopsis: The year has ended. The four months of the full moons will soon be followed by two months of the new moons. Duke Istrel's ascension is around the corner. Amidst this political upheaval, Count Nightfall, Licencia's strongest defender, has been called away. The Moon Lords' largest task yet — to protect Licencia in the absence of its ruler — has begun. And yet, trouble is unrelenting. A distinguished personage, one that Claud fears, has been found dead in the county, his brains dug out and his body disemboweled. The inquisitors of the White Church have been dispatched to investigate and apprehend the murderer...as well as the person behind this puppet. Tormented by a call to fight, Claud directs his eyes out of the city, looking for the puppetmaster. Skulking in the shadows, the master thief will soon confront his greatest foe yet. A foe just like him. Book 5: Moonlit Tides and Darkened Seas Synopsis: A new era has begun. For the privileged, the sands of time dribble away for every passing moment, counting down to the arrival of a entity of mythical proportions. The night now harbours shadows and fog, and operatives of the Moons and the Dark clash in shadow. Claud, as usual, is investigating a spate of nasty disappearances in the city, but little does he know what these disappearances truly mean. And yet, a tide is coming. When it finally breaks, what will he do? Book 6: Secrets in Shadow Synopsis: The person behind a strike that would enter the annals of history flees his home, bringing with him the person closest to his heart into a new land and into a new world. Having left Istrel for the first time in his life, the two of them attempt to settle down in foreign lands, only to be caught in the middle of hostilities between two mighty powers grappling for dominion. Yet, none of that has anything to do with him. Following his desires, Claud eventually makes his way to the fabled Celestia Ruins, a fragment of another world. Bearing witness to truths he cannot yet comprehend, he returns from his exploration, a small break away from the machinations of destiny. One thing, however, is for certain. Destiny will not wait for him. Book 7: Reddest Rage Synopsis: Destiny churns on, heedless of mortal machinations, and Claud watches as the battlegrounds between the Moons and the Dark are drawn up. With the forces of the great Dark occupying Lostfon, Claud comes to a startling realisation — that he may have very well be a murderer of heinous proportions. Grappling with that realisation, he struggles to prepare for his Second Tutorial... Back in Istrel, Dia finds herself confronted with a perennial truth. Even in a time of writhing destiny, the machinations between nobles never cease to end — and unfortunately for her, the group once known as the Moon Lords are forced into dealing with a petty squabble between two counts. What they didn't account for, however, was the startling discovery they would soon make... And the shadow of the Red God's Holy Son behind it all. Book 8: Darkness Descends Synopsis: Nightmares haunt the horizon as Claud sinks and awakens from a seeming dream. What was once illusory begins to play out before him, in a way he cannot imagine. Dia, forced to wield arms, begins and ends a battle that opens her eyes to the vast dangers that lurk in this sundered world. Under the banner of humanity and divinity, she beholds the silent, forgotten protectors of Orb...but there is no forgetting the battle between the divinities. The Dark descends, the Moons writhe, and the horns of war blow once more. But this is not their battle. Not yet. Book 9: Moons Muster Synopsis: As more and more events fall into place, Claud finds himself desperate. Not for himself, but for the person who has turned into his world. Armed with the knowledge of a certain future, he approaches the only person that could possibly help him in his time of need, trading information for a promise of help. With that as solace, he returns to the grim task of understanding and seeking, revisiting an ancient, shattered fragment of another world...unleashing changes that he never knew was possible. Back in Istrel, Dia and the others must now navigate around a familiar spirit, who seeks to investigate the death of his master's Bearer. With them as prime suspects, the Seekers of Life must move carefully...but the Coloured Gods are not the only divinities eyeing them closely. The Moons, bristling from repeated defeats, are looking for new recruits, and the Seekers of Life are prime cannon fodder. Above all, destiny marches on, the unfeeling clock a warning to all. The Trial of Aeons will soon arrive. Book 10: Destiny Divine Synopsis: ??? Release frequency: one every few days or something, I guess. (This work is also being serialised on Webnovel under the name Revile as a trial run)
