    [X] What on earth? Does he think just because he's living here he can wander into other people's rooms? >: < Bad Brandy!
    - - [X] He hasn't heard of knocking? /Sigh. How disappointing, he'll need to be taught manners after all. Tell him his lessons in this subject start tomorrow.

    [X]Still there is no need to be rude after all he could simply be lost in the house.
    [X] He can see your bare ankles! How scandalous. Still, he is your new brother analogue, and a Londoner. Allowances can be made. Perhaps this is even how things are done in the city? You can't say you care for it.

    [X] Night Descends

    "What on earth...?" you ask rhetorically, rising from your desk and staring at the unwelcome intruder with a frown of disapproval. "Sir. A gentleman knocks before entering a lady's room!"

    "Ah!" Dio looks shocked, then incredibly embarrassed as he closes the door to a crack. "Excuse me! In the dark I mistook your door for mine. Please forgive the intrusion."

    Your annoyance lessens somewhat. Of course. How silly of you; you forgot how lost Del got the first time she visited. The house can be confusing if you're not used to it.

    You sigh in relief. You were worried for a moment you would have to be unkind to someone who's been nothing but gracious to you.

    "So that's it." You make a brief curtsy. "I apologize for being so sharp with you, Brandy. I am used to the rough ways of country boys; it would not be impossible that one of them would expect to share a bed with me to keep warm."

    Dio laughs, a soft, cultured sound. "There is nothing to forgive, Jojo. It's only natural that a young lady should be ready to defend her reputation."

    "Nevertheless, I am sorry. Allowances have to be made for family." You go to the door and point down the hall. "Your bedroom is four doors down from mine, past the portrait of the gentleman in the blue doublet. The keyhole is plugged shut, I believe, so if you trace it with your finger you should be able to find your room by touch no matter how lost you get."

    He makes an impressed noise. "Oh? You know this house down to the last detail, it seems."

    "A lady's home is her domain," you declare. "If she is to rule it effectively she must know as much about it as possible."

    He chuckles. "Then I suppose I should pay my respects to the queen of the family."

    Before you can stop him, he presses his lips to your forehead.

    "A goodnight kiss for my stern little sister."

    He smells faintly of lavender.

    And then, with a smile, he withdraws coolly, and turns to make his way back down the hall.

    [X] >: < He thinks you're stern now, wait until he gets a taste of the back of your hand! D-did that count as your first kiss? Augh!

    [X] .///. Why is your heart beating so fast?

    [X] ^_^ What a gentle brother you have. /oblivious

    Makes the betrayal more interesting, and JoJo is about the right age anyway for her first crush.

    I will never stop being amused by Dio-sama's charisma. Beware, my children! The Fourth Wall is no defence against it, for lo, nominally straight men are reduced to thinking tokimeki is the ideal response. >:D

    It's a trap! Don't become obsessed with him, make him obsessed with you.

    Even at this age, Dio's personality is twisted and treacherous to the extreme, if you're not at least capable of standing against him you aren't interesting enough to confront with anything but a social mask. He's an odd duck, and purpose built to be a villain.

    Most importantly, however, are the pants in the relationship. They will be ours. No pants for Di-

    Also, useless has the right of it. I know not everyone's read Phantom Blood (cannot blame you, yikes), but yeah, Dio's initial goal is to acquire the Joestar fortune for himself and become a man of the world. He's Becky Sharp, except GAR.

    Though I'm not sure if this or oblivous is the better response for irking Dio (Also how the heck did my nickname get through :eek:)

    No one proposed an alternative. ^_^ I'm rather pleased with it, though, because it causes Dio such pain to hear it.

    [X] Hit on Jojo (LIKE A BOSS)! Get rejected (LIKE A BOSS)!

    Your right knuckles are in terrible pain, but it was worth it to correct this presumptuous little - owwww~

    "So much for queenly reserve," Dio says, squeezing your wrist without apparent effort. "Do you often strike people without provocation?"

    "Without-? You- you kissed me!" you whisper indignantly.

    He raises an eyebrow. "Surely there's nothing untoward about that. You said yourself; we're to be family."

    "Unhand me!" you demand, struggling. You try to prise his fingers off, but he grabs your free hand and pulls it out of the way. The two of you glare into each other's eyes.

    "Not until I have some assurance that I won't be struck again," he says evenly.

    [X] Kick him repeatedly in the shins and call for help.

    [X] Calm yourself. "... I give you my word as a Joestar that I will not continue my assault. So please. Let me go."

    [X] Something strange happens.

    -[X] Inwardly, you seethe. This guy is seriously presumptuous; he doesn't give orders here, and it's about time he learned that. Revenge will be yours.

    If we're going the talky route, at least vote for something along the lines of "Not until I have some assurance that I won't be kissed again." Don't just roll over because he's got a hold of our wrist.

    [X] Something strange happens.

    Voting for this, though, because Furiko's established elsewhere that the vague votes are the fun ones.

    I wanted to vote for something like that, but I couldn't come up with anything witty. That's pretty good, though.

    You've converted me to [X] Someting strange happens, anyway.
