Twenty Third Hat on the Stack [Voice]

[3_hat_day]

Hey Seifer. You too, Hitsugaya. Hell, anyone on the investigation team.

I found something on the fair grounds. Looks like where it all went down for the two girls. I've got blood splatters and...

-some shuffling is heard.-A piece of cloth. Dunno if it belongs to one of the kids or to one of our perps, but it's something, right? Hard to tell what

{Well damn, he was happy to hear your voice. At least... until he heard what you had to say.}

It's a clue at least, nice work.

I got something for you too, if you don't mind stopping by.

[3_hat_day]

Yeah? And what's that?

[dontcallmegol]

It's a surprise~

[3_hat_day]

Good for you I LIKE surprises, then. Be by in a bit.

-You'll hear him whistling his way down well before you see him.-

{Oh, he heard the whistling and couldn't help but smirk at the sound. He stepped out into the street to face the man, grinning ear to ear. The edge of his hat hid his eyes and his hands were deep in the pockets of his jeans. He almost looked like a man entering a pistol dual with all the confidence in the world of drawing faster.

Hey Jo-jo, remember way back when he promised you a spar when he got his chip out?

Slowly the air around him began to waver as his body temperature rose well above normal. In fact it began to sizzle, crack and eventually flames sprouted from his shoulders, fore arms, ankles and even wound up his thighs to flicker from his hips. They crawled up his chest as well and he raised his head to lock eyes with the man, flames licking from his lips.}

Surprise.

-Joseph stopped in his tracks, letting out a low, impressed whistle.-

I like this surprise. I like it a lot.

-The air began to cackle around him as well, jolts of life energy arcing up and down his arms. His breathing was steady and direct.-

I'm glad. {He watched the archs of energy ripple and dance around Joseph and whistled softly.} Impressive.

So. {He shifted his feet, pulling his hands out from his pockets and falling into a ready pose.}

I believe I owe you a fight.

I believe so. -Jotaro shrugs his shoulders, popping his neck joints as well as his knuckles before moving into a loose stance. He drew in light breaths, building a charge throughout his body that made the air around him visible vibrate.-

{He grinned from ear to ear and his fires began to grow with his excitement. The adrenaline rushing through his veins. It'd been so long since he'd had a good spar, let alone one where he could go all out and use his powers.}

Ready or not~ {He sing-songed. He drew a fist back past his head as if to throw an immense punch. Obviously he wasn't within reach to make a physical connection. But his hand began to collect heat, all the flames on his body crawled to one point and his fist began to glow. The flames grew up his forearm before he finally thrust it forward shouting,}

HIKEN

{A grand wave of fire was spit forth like the breath of a mighty dragon. This very column of flames was powerful enough to take out several galleons in one blow. He certainly wasn't pulling punches, he believed in Jo-jo's strength and wouldn't insult him by doing so. That... and it felt damn good to use his signature move again.}

-Joseph's stance suddenly shifted, drawing his hand back and drawing in a swift breath. The already tremendous ripple around him only spiked to even greater proportions, as if he were a car shifting gears. The burning heat was familiar to him in a way...

And with a sweep of his open hand, the ripple energy struck out against the flames, as if it were a great and gigantic blade slicing through a mountain.-

OVER DRIVE!!

{He watches, slightly in awe, as his blast is sliced in two to careen safely past the other man. He reaches out quickly, feeling the heat, the draw, the ebb and flow of his element to pull the two halves back around. They sail past Joseph once more and are absorbed by the fire user. Not that they're in an area where things can't be destroyed but he doesn't want to make too much of a ruckus and alert anyone. That... and it's just another chance to show off his control.}

Not bad my friend.

Not bad yourself, mate. -Joseph tossed his scarf to the side over his shoulder, chuckling. It was his turn to attack this time. And he intended to make a good show of it.

Stomping his foot into the ground and casting his hands flat in front of him, he parted them on a sharp exhale, sending a wave of cackling Hamon energy towards Ace.-

HAMON CUTTAH!

{Ace shifted his feet and prepared for the next attack, debating with himself to just attempt to absorb the blow or to dodge. You'd think he'd have learned his lesson through Blackbeard, but this energy was different. It was electrical almost, heat, life, light... by the looks of it. It couldn't have been that much different than fire. It was worth a shot, see what sort of punch the other could throw. He doubted it would be strong enough to kill him, that's not why they were here after all

Much appreciated, Ace. Now let's say we cut the theatrics and do this right, right?

-Joseph's stance shifted again, beckoning Ace forward with a gesture of the fingers. His smirk sang a certain otherworldly confidence that could only come from the sort of man that faced down death itself and not just lived to tell about it, but punched Death right in the bird's nest and just didn't give a fuck.-

Let's go.
