Harvest IC Inbox

"You have reached the voice mailbox of me, Dio. I am currently preoccupied or perhaps I simply don't currently want to talk to you right now. Leave a message if you think it will be fruitful for you.

[It takes a bit before Dio responds but it is a call, make no mistake.]

WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU MEAN HERE, JOESTAR?!

YOU CAN'T JUST SAY THINGS LIKE THAT THEN HANG UP!

[That reaction is exactly why Joseph loves to bait Dio, but that's not exactly what he's up to today.]

Oh, hey, how's it going?

[Just kidding.]

I, uh, didn't mean to rush the message but something came up. But I'm being completely serious, and I need your help with this. How do I even ask...

Ho about just asking like a normal person? Joseph Joestar, we have been through A LOT together, and there is not much that could really put me out at this point.

[You know, other than. Suggesting they needed to 'take their relationship to a new level'.]

Maybe I'm just not quite a normal person!

[Don't look at him with that tone of voice, Dio.]

And you're right, we have been through... a lot.

[He drifted momentarily.]

I've been thinking about how I've languished these few years. I need something. I realized that first when I noticed how Masaki had been working hard to keep herself fit. It hit me harder when I went back home and had to run the gauntlet because three South American megavampires held my actual life hostage with two poison wedding ring implants unless I just so happened to become strong enough to take it back within a month.

[Joseph took a moment to breathe and reroute himself to the point.]

I'm a lazy bastard if my own life isn't threatened. The new relationship I want to explore with you... is... trainer and student? But not exactly. I...suppose I trust you enough to ask you to threaten my life until I shape up.

So.......................
