WHO: Kakyoin and Suzume!
WHERE: The Zodiac apartments
WHEN: Before the June event
WHAT: Oops, unexpected babysitting! With a side of Stand shenanigans
WARNINGS: Shouldn't be any!

[It's actually a little alarming when he gets the call asking if he can watch Suzume on short notice.

Luckily, it's not a big deal! It's just because Jolyne vanished. Still a little concerning, but, like, he'll take it. He packs up his art supplies and wanders on over to the apartments. He's let in by a very grateful nanny (who might also just be relieved that it'll be Kakyoin watching Suzume in general) who doesn't take long to take her leave after he arrives.]

Suzume?

Yes! [Her scowl deepens.] He ate everyone's tongues, and tried to take Hoshi's, and then got more because he was greedy and mean.

[This is perhaps the most she's said in a single string of words, and it's honestly sort of impressive.

But oh! Kakyoin's got the right idea. Suzume starts going for the silver crayons.] Umn...I know...a knight with a really long sword...but his friend got, a different sword once, and it made him really sad, so, Hoshi helped me break it.

[The end right, happy times for all! ...No? Oh.]

What a terrible bug. I'm glad Melon squashed him.

[Don't mind Hierophant puffing up a bit proudly there.]

A different sword...

[If Hoshi cares to take a glance at what Kakyoin happens to be sketching at the moment, he'll probably recognize the scene as a moment during the fight between Polnareff and Avdol.

Or at least based on it.]

[Well he has nothing better to do than watch, even if from a distance- and watch he does, straightening in alarm when he does figure out what's being sketched. Suzume's drawings are expected. But that?

Hoshi looks over at Hierophant. Hey- Hey!!! Hey what the hell-]

Yeah, it was...all fancy, [Suzume is humming in the meantime,] And it wasn't silver, like Knight was... ...so it didn't match...and sometimes, it had a doggy come out, but it was mean...

[Hierophant just gestures like dude, this has been happening for a bit! Just... just wait until they can grab Kakyoin's sketchbook to show...

Kakyoin listens carefully, pausing in his sketch.]

Yeah? What happened after that?

We broke it, and he went away! [Yay!] And Hoshi was really hurt, so Mister Hair had to carry him all the way to JiJi...and um...

[She has to think for a bit.] I don't know what happened after that, but we missed breakfast...

[Star Platinum didn't exactly get to do a whole lot when Alessi struck.

In any case, 'Knight' seems to be her choice of drawing, and he's looking great! Big silvery mask and big round eyes!]

[Hierophant just glances over at Hoshi, as if to ask "We sure missed a time, huh?"

About themself and Noriaki, of course. Not Tenmei.

When Kakyoin glances over to Suzume's drawing, he can't help but smile. That sure is Knight, huh?

Unbidden, something in his mind whispers Silver Chariot.]

[The look on Hoshi's face says You Sure Did!

That aside. Knight is done! Now Suzume's going to start drawing 'Mister Hair', because that feels important.] Mister Hair had...lots of sword fights, [She mutters,] He was best at them...but...him, and Knight, like to play a lot..! They say, HoraHoraHora..! [she cheers, bouncing in the spot with each sound,] And make things fancy first..!

He and Knight were the sorts who had lots of cool tricks, right?

[Yeah... that sounds right.]

Yes! Like, ummm....

[She thinks about it for a minute, before going back to her drawing (Mister Hair has a lot more colors!) as she talks.] Like making statues...

[She didn't remember any specific ones, but she knows it's probably a thing that he did.] But, but...

[She lowers her voice, as if wondering if she'll get in trouble for this. Before she even says it, her Stand is sighing in resignation. Suzume leans over to whisper.]

...Mister Hair wasn't very smart, so he got in lots and lots of trouble before Knight could come out and stop anything...

[Way to kick a man while he's not around to defend himself!]

Statues... Oh, that's right, I remember one from my dream--one that looked kind of like a bird...

[Kakyoin leans in when Suzume leans over to whisper, nodding along. Part of him wants to agree about "Mister Hair" not being very smart.

RIP, Polnareff.]

Bird..?

[Suzume is slowly looking over to Hoshi, as if somehow he might know more. Hoshi for his part gives nothing away, so Suzume ultimately just nods and keeps drawing.] I got to see...lots of birds, where I met Knight and Mister Hair...but, the biggest bird was Red, except Red had...no wings, just muscle arms...

[Hoshi is wondering if Stands can die due to embarrassment.]

[AH...]

Red... Magician's Red...?

[Hierophant's just gonna reach up with a tendril or two to just. Pat Hoshi on the arm.]

[A loud gasp, and Suzume beams.] Oh..!!

Yes..! Mister Magic's friend, umn, 'Magician's Red'...

[She frowns, adding seriously-] ...Red is easier, and he still has to say sorry for making Hoshi really mad... [the girl mutters, scribbling away at her drawing.

Hoshi is frowning rather weakly at his companion meanwhile. What's the world come to, that this is where he's getting consolation...]

Really? What did he do?

[Listen, Hoshi, weird shit's been the name of the game for months now. The fact that they're consoling you right now is weird, even!!]

[He knows! He knows! But he doesn't have to like it!]

I got all the things for Hoshi, because, Hoshi was really bored and sad...and then Mister Magic came, and he made everything on fire, and it ruined all the things, [she huffs, getting madder and madder as she mutters.] And then when I came out to get mad back, he stopped..!

[Coward!]

Well, that was very rude of him.

[He sets down his pencil to pat Suzume on the back.]

And not even so much as saying "sorry," for shame.

[Hoshi is just. Shaking his head now. Hooboy.

But at least Suzume appreciates it!] He even made Haha cry, [she mutters, shaking her head.] Making Haha cry is the worst thing you can do.
