Second Hat on the Stack

[3_hat_day]

Tch, this place just seems like one fight after another...

HA! I can take it! Just bring it on! I'll show you what a true hamon fighter can do!

...But all the action seems to be happening when I'm not there. How lame!

[hamonatrix]

Think you can clean this place up, do you?

[3_hat_day]

Hey, if ANYONE can, it's the Amazing Joseph Joestar!

[hamonatrix]

Singlehandedly routing evil from universes both known and unknown.

Caesar won't like to be left out, you know.

[3_hat_day]

Hey, you know, speaking of

Did you know there's some guy runnin' around here pretending to BE Caesar? What's up with that?

[hamonatrix]

How do you know it isn't Caesar? Unless you don't believe it's really me, either. I still have no memory between the time Kars stringing me up by my feet and waking up here.

What worries me more is the man lurking around here they call "Lord Dio."

[3_hat_day]

Because he's dead. I have the bloody headband to prove it.

Dio? Why does that sound familiar...

[hamonatrix]

I was there. Remember? But there's a lot of things here that defy explanation.

The man who killed your grandfather was named Dio Brando.

[3_hat_day]

The explanation is easy! It's some jackass, not Caesar!

...that guy...

[hamonatrix]

Do you think I haven't already considered the possibility that it's all a clever deception meant to trick us into letting our guard down? Do you think I'm just responding out of emotionalism? Perhaps you can tell me how we should deal with this impostor instead.

Perhaps while you are at it, you can tell me if this Dio is an impostor as well.

[3_hat_day]

There's a difference here, mum. We KNOW Caesar died. We saw the proof. I still have nightmares about that scene...

But with that man, we don't know anything about if he really died or not. And knowing what we do about vampires...

[hamonatrix]

As do I, Joseph, as do I. And I can see that arguing the point would be an exercise in futility. I'll just have to let the two of you duel it out for yourselves as usual. Whoever he is.

Knowing what we do about vampires...I can think of some very unladylike expressions to say how I feel about that. Especially if our ripples are so limited here.

[3_hat_day]

You know, I hear there's a solution for that.

[hamonatrix]

Yes...

[3_hat_day]

And hey, if we've got to fight, then we've got to be at our best.

I say we get a hold of these chop artists and do some negotiating.

[hamonatrix]

If we have to fight, yes, I agree.

It never ends, does it?

[3_hat_day]

Yeah, well, comes with the territory, mum.
