I'LL BE THE ROUNDABOUT,

Who: Jonathan, and You!
What: Jonathan's arrival at Daybreak! Includes the Internet.
When: Oct 12 - Onward
Where: Daybreak Campus
Warnings: None at present

UN: JOJO2

Hello to everyone!

It has been quite some time since I was able to attend a school of any sort, but having recently arrived I decided it would be best to greet everyone through this 'network' that has been set up. It's taken some adjusting to, so I must trust each of you to let me know if I've done anything incorrectly.

As it is, I'll be taking quite a number of classes while I catch up, so I look forward to meeting many of you in person; you shall recognize me by the presence of a small bat!

(That would be me)

- Jonathan Joestar


CAMPUS LIVING | Mid-October

[Despite technically being a nocturnal species, Jonathan has successfully moved over to a 'proper' diurnal cycle of living, for a good number of years since finding himself not only alive, in a sense, but also in a very different body than he frankly expected. There's been a lot of adjusting.

A lot. But those years have paid off, and part of that shows in how easily he's able to fly about the campus without really fumbling around. Of course, a bat's body isn't without physical weakness- which means that just as often as Jonathan flies into the classrooms to sit upon a desk (hello, fellow students,) he's also forcing himself to a stop at the nearest window ledge to catch a breather.

Even if it's an office. Or a dorm room.

He's trying not to look inside, really, he just needs to rest his wings for a bit. Pay no mind to the bat wearing a button-up onsie of some sort.

CAMPUS...EATING | Mid-October

[A bat's got to eat- and being a fruit bat means that Jonathan gets to deal with a fruit bat's diet. As one can guess from the name, they're frugivorous. So Jonathan gets to be frugivorous. That's been rough.

But, he's over it now! And as such, he's got himself a little box of a table, and some little cubes of mango, and from there that's about as clean as one can ever manage eating when you're a bat and the closest thing to fingers you have is one thumb on each side.

It looks a bit like messily eating corn on the cob, if there was no cob, and the corn was mango, and the entire thing was just viced directly onto one's thumbs.

Cute, though.

[This sounds like an absolute idiot, she's decided.

And she's completely ignoring most of it until she sees that name.]


Who the fuck are you and why are you lying to everyone about your goddamned name?

[As Jonathan explore, he'd hear Mendelssohn's violin concerto coming out of one of the third floor windows, though it's clear whoever is playing it is deviating, and improvising sections.

Inside is a tall, willowy man with slicked back inky-black hair, closed eyes slowly opening]

The Joestar part, you absolute fucking moron!

That bastard's been dead for centuries as far as I'm aware, so how about you stop fucking around and using the name of someone long goddamned deceased?

Fuck's sakes.

... Bull fucking shit.

I don't know who you actually are, but your face is meeting my fucking fist, in an intimate fucking relationship.

No fucking shit that's it's rude language.

I literally just said I'm going to punch you in the face, are you really sure?

[His eyes turned to the window, his hearing picking up the soft flutter of something small landing. Then it spoke. It wasn't too odd, after all he had Tobias on his floor.

"Sherlock" - his name, his actual given name, his bow jumps across the strings in start, recreating an unpleasant squeal as his nerves, already shaken by the Wild Hunt took another dive.

It couldn't - it couldn't be, that Bastard is dead, staked by a Texan, has been dead for over a hundred years... wait. No...

That man's voice was so much deeper, he never spoke as a bat... and in fact. His mind raced, realizing it was familiar, just not who he initially thought it was]

What on god's green earth?!

[Lia's in the process of trying to decorate for Halloween, window open because holy shit, it's amazing to be able to do that again--

... And then there's a bat on the ledge.]


... Oh, goodness.

[Bat??? Out in daylight?????]

You're not my fucking parent.

God. You know where the quad is outside? I'll be out there, dark blue and green hair, hard to miss.

[Though it was getting a little nippy outside, this far up - Moriarty had opened his window just a bit in his office, letting the colder air in while he was in a rather cozy-looking sweater.

Of course, the little bat landing on the ledge doesn't escape his notice - his threads alerting him to the little creature - and as he turns around, his eyebrows shoot up.]


...A fruit bat? Here?

[Speaking out loud, not expecting it to talk back - but noting the onesie and frowning.]

A pet, or perhaps a familiar...? Hm...Perhaps If I take it slowly...

[He moves his (on wheels) chair carefully and slowly over, as if not to spook the wild animal he thinks Jonathan is, keeping a calm, placid demeanor as he speaks in a friendly manner.]

Come here, won't you? It's warmer inside, at the very least.
buddinghopes: (glad to hear it)

[personal profile] buddinghopes 2019-10-13 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Sure, okay, another talking animal at this school. This is fine.]

Oh, I was just surprised to see a bat out in the daylight! I was just doing a little decorating, so I don't mind.

[Just casually talking to a bat. Yup.]

Are you a new student at Daybreak?

Were you not a bat before?

[That's what makes most sense to her...]

I see! Well, there's a number of people like that here, so you'll fit right in.

[True to her word, Jolyne's just chilling in the quad by herself, seemingly. Her clothing is awful as always, but Jonathan might be able to get a good look at that birthmark on her shoulder blade from his height.

She doesn't seem remotely pleased, but she rarely ever is to begin with.

At least Stone Free's not around. Yet.]
hatesdeerstalkers: (...!)

[personal profile] hatesdeerstalkers 2019-10-13 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
[...Ah.

Moriarty stares for a moment, before a slight blush suddenly colors his face - which he attempts to hide with a quick cough.]


A-ah, my apologies! You're like young Tobias, then. Still, should you wish it, you're more than invited to come in.

[Regaining back his normal color, he gestures to an empty spot at his desk.]

I meant no insult, of course. Would you like a little tea, perhaps?

[His office is, actually, pretty cozy-looking - but more than that, it's a bit...Victorian in it's sensibilities, though there is an electric kettle and a laptop on his desk.]
improbablenotimpossible: (Let me ponder the matter further)

[There's only a small handful of people that would call him that, his dear Boswell - and that was a voice he would've never been confused about, Mycroft, and...]

Joestar - you're one of a few who would call me that, especially now.

[He puts the violin away, gesturing for the bat to come in, he remembered being surprised by the invitation, and it was at Watson's urging that he attended, out of the latter's attempts for him to be 'sociable']

It's indeed a very long story for the both of us. I must confess you certainly gave me quite the shock.
