1: who overcame his fears

[zeppeli_cursed]

[Mayfield is in for something a little familiar today; 730 Anderson, not so much. A Japanese boy is lurking in the kitchen, inspecting every appliance and scrutinizing the photographs with a furrowed brow. Oddly, he's wearing sunglasses indoors

[Crowe's heading to class and passes Kakyoin in the hall. Used to seeing a drone smile on his friend's face by now, be notices it's been replaced with an irritated frown and a pair of sunglasses. Crowe stops dead and calls back to him.]

K... Kakyoin!

(yay)

[zeppeli_cursed]

[He turns toward the voice, setting his jaw. It doesn't sound like anyone he knows. Suspicion and past experience say that if someone in an unfamiliar place knows him, but he doesn't know them, they're probably the Stand User who is screwing with him.

So he closes up his posture further and lets Hierophant curl around his shoulders, unseen.]

Yes?

[perfektsymmetry]

[For a brief second, Crowe's face lights up. He looks thrilled to see his friend returned! But it doesn't last long. Already this was suspicious, and Crowe was more than used to people coming back without remembering anything.]

You... You're back. O-Or don't you...

<3????

[zeppeli_cursed]

What...? Why are you looking at me like that?

[Kakyoin takes a deep breath and sends Hierophant on a sort of test-attack. The Stand stops well short of Crowe, but he's trying to see if the boy is a Stand user.]

I don't know what the Speedwagon Foundation is, but you're not going to find it here.

Major General Olivier Armstrong.

Don't panic, there isn't anything ridiculous going on right now. Get yourself a weapon.

You're a captive in Mayfield. There isn't a clear way out yet, nor do we know who to kill to get one.

[zeppeli_cursed]

Why do I need a weapon? Don't think I'm going to believe you so easily.

[zeppeli_cursed]

An American corporation. If you don't know who they are, you shouldn't be talking to me.

[sting_like_a]

Well, this town is American, but I dunno if you'll find them here... I'll talk to you anyway, though! Hi.
