002: [ VIDEO ]

[Fugo is very much aware that there have been a flood of network transmissions, all asking for people to report in: he doesn't want to add to the rush, but he thinks about it, and switches on the video anyway.]

I'd like to know, once again, if the term 'Stand user' means anything to any of you.

[Because he doesn't want to get more specific than that

What if it does mean something?

[6times5is30]

[He perks up a little...

...but he doesn't recognize the face, so he looks a bit more guarded, now.]

...I was wondering if anyone I knew was on the other ship. They would have recognized the term and come forward.

Video

[thinkin_arbys]

I don't recognize you, though. You weren't in the race.

Video

[6times5is30]

...? I don't know what race you're talking about.

[He narrows his eyes slightly.]

None of us were involved in a race-- not in the literal sense, anyway.

Video

[thinkin_arbys]

The race. Steel Ball Run.

Tch... You really don't know. Are you just talking about some story someone told you, or something?

Video

[6times5is30]

No, I've never heard of it.

[And he furrows his brows a little.]

And no, I think I have a perfect understanding of what I'm talking about. Otherwise, I wouldn't announce it for everyone to hear and scrutinize.

Video

[thinkin_arbys]

If you really knew about them, you wouldn't be talking about it. Too many unruly kids got let into this in the end, didn't they...

What's your name, and where are you from?

Video

[6times5is30]

You obviously don't understand my situation, and I don't understand yours. The only conclusion I can draw from what you're saying is that there are other Stand users, outside of Italy. I'm not naive or stupid, you know.

I'm Fugo. Have you heard of Passione?

[She looks away from the feed for a moment, then back at it. But, you know, hard to tell she's a girl and all that, apparently.]

I'm from Italy. But yes, there are Stand users elsewhere. Who do you work for, Fugo? Passione means nothing to me unless you speak of the days of our Lord.

[He doesn't catch on that she's a woman, because...well, NO ONE could, besides Johnny who felt her up. Lucky bastard.]

...I guess you're a civilian, then. I work for the organization Passione, which is relatively well-known where I'm from. You've really never heard of it?

Video

[thinkin_arbys]

Civilian. Right. I'm a civilian, if you must call me anything.

[And definitely not a secret agent working for the Vatican SUP BITCHES!]

I've never heard of this organization. If you're operating within Italy, I'm surprised that I wouldn't have heard of you. Maybe you're not as important as you think.

Video

[6times5is30]

[GUUUUUURL STEP OFF FUGO IS... okay, he's not. Important at all, sob. But he will look a little miffed, anyway.]

I'm just an underling, but the organization is well-known, at least, in Naples. Maybe civilians don't know about the mafia all too well.

... [Her eyes narrow.]

Do you know the Zeppelis?

Video

[6times5is30]

Zeppeli...? No, I've never heard that name.

[He's a little wary, now.]

Should I have?

Video

[thinkin_arbys]

No. Possibly not. It's actually good you haven't.

I'm actually most recently a resident of the Vatican.

Video

[6times5is30]

The Vatican... then you'd have nothing to do with the Boss.

[Those words are mostly spoken for his own benefit.]

And you're a Stand user? Why would the Vatican need Stand users?
