[X] Cover your mouth with shock and LOOK at this scandalous thing happening here.
- - [X] Blush and hide behind the stable door and keep looking!

The same strong right arm that was your saviour in Ogre St is wound around Del Shannon's waist. It cradles her gently, as though she really were the china doll she so closely resembles. The fingers of Dio's left hand are threaded through her hair as he deepens the kiss.

Your grip on the stable door tightens. Being a country-bred girl you've certainly seen brave boys steal kisses from girls before, but never like this. When Jimmy Mack was dared by the other boys to kiss Lizzy Yellowcard he ran the very instant after their lips smacked into one another; for all the fuss she made you could hardly call it a kiss at all - it had more in common with a minor traffic collision.

What you're seeing now has no such schoolyard grubbiness about it. This is a deliberate, considered course of action, undertaken by someone who knows what he wants, and shall have it. This is the kiss of a man to a woman, such as you have only seen in plays.

Your heart aches.

After a long moment, Del stiffens, and starts to struggle. She pushes at Dio's shoulders, but he simply pulls her closer. Her hands are left to clench into impotent fists pressed against his chest.

[X] ... right! Right, this is entirely improper and she has every right to defend her honour! Step in and help your friend!

[X] Stay hidden; this is obviously a private moment, interfering will only make this that more awkward.

[hunter09]

[X] Step out from where you are watching and clear your throat to get their attention.

 

[Guile]

[X] And that is quite enough of that. Dio, one must be more solicitous to a young maiden. Forcefulness is unbecoming of a gentleman.
Perhaps things are done quite differently in Londontown, but not while we're around!

 

[Biigoh]

[X] Stay hidden; this is obviously a private moment, interfering will only make this that more awkward.

Why do you feel so hot? Dio was yours!

 

[FurikoMaru]

[X] Not Even Remotely Dynamic Entry

"What the devil is going on here?"

Dio lets Del loose in surprise. "Jojo?"

Del stumbles backward, eyes wide with fear and shame.

[X] Let Dio have it. You can't have him thinking he can just take your things whenever he wants!

[X] Let Del have it. You can't have her thinking she can just take your things whenever she wants!

[X] Let them both have it! @/////@ This is... they were...! But they-! Without you?!

 

[Malcolmo]

[X] Let them both have it! @/////@ This is... they were...! But they-! Without you?!

I see no way this could possibly end badly.

 

[Aranfan]

[X] Let Dio have it. You can't have him thinking he can just take your things whenever he wants!

[Tetsurō]

[X] Let Dio have it. You can't have him thinking he can just take your things whenever he wants!

 

[Guile]

[X] Dio, Dio... whatever are we to do with him? Be understanding. It is spring, and young men's thoughts, etcetera.
[X] All the same, you cannot just go around kissing my friends without my permission!
-[X] Especially not with such... vigor!

Something about English ladies, the vapors, female hysteria... Del probably wasn't even thinking about England at the time!

 

[Grahf]

[X] Let them both have it! @/////@ This is... they were...! But they-! Without you?!
-- [X] You will not have relations of yours acting as such. Private matters are private matters, but that's why they're conducted in private. Also, as a young man that has exceeded you expectations, you thought that Dio would know better than to be salacious with a young lady? How can you possibly leave for Italy with peace of mind now!

[X] Let Del have it. You can't have her thinking she can just take your things whenever she wants!

Let me explain this vote. We'd be stupid to think Dio isn't aware Jojo is watching. Del clearly wasn't expecting the kiss. So it's a good bet Dio is doing this to provoke a reaction. And the reaction he wants is... Probably jealousy. I think everyone gets that.

So why just chew out Del rather than Dio? I think it'll reassure him that his ploy worked, which means he won't need an alternate ploy, or to resign himself to gaining control of the Joestar family fortune through murder rather than marriage. Let him think he's won. We won't be seeing much of Del in the near future anyway, and we can apologize to Del later on... Even if we can't explain everything, saying our feelings made us speak rashly will probably work once she lets us know she's not actually at all interested in Dio.

The whole 'without you' thing makes our interest in prurient and NSFW stuff pretty evident, which I don't really think is the message we want to send, if only because a strong indiscriminate sex drive will probably trigger a Madonna/Whore complex in Dio. Possessive is fine. Indiscriminate, not so much. If we'd cheat on him with Del, who else would cheat on him with? Who would we go to when we get tired of Dio? I don't think we've gotten far enough for this to trigger jealousy rather than disgust.

 

[Guile]

Browbeating the struggling victim just because Dio might like it is kinda...

 

[FurikoMaru]

Ah, yes, the eternal quandary of matching wits with a manipulative asshole - how much pressure do you exert, and on whom? And when? At what point have you stopped masking your heart and started killing it? *wriggles with glee* Saikou ni high tte yatsu da~

 

[Scia]

[X] Let them both have it! @/////@ This is... they were...! But they-!

 

[Pipeman]

[X] Let Del have it. You can't have her thinking she can just take your things whenever she wants!

Who needs a heart, if you have a Stand?

 

[FurikoMaru]

[X] Keep Your Hands Off My Baby

"I had thought better of you, Dio Brando!" you say furiously. "Taking advantage of your position to impose your affections on someone beneath you? And my friend to boot? Do you even care what you could have done to her reputation if someone else had seen you?"

"I tried to tell you, Jojo," Del whimpers. "I'm so so sorry, I- he has the Devil in him!"

You round on her in an instant. "I'll have none of that papist nonsense here, Adelaide! Don't think I didn't see you return his embrace - and heard your..." The heat builds in your cheeks and behind your eyes, and your breath hitches. "... your damned silly swooning sounds!"

[X] Stride off. If they are to regain your approval they must follow and beg forgiveness. That should cure the tears you're currently fighting back.

[X] Tell Del to go home. Clearly you cannot associate yourself with someone who displays such poor judgement.

[X] Burst into tears and run away.

 

[Guile]

[X] Stride off. If they are to regain your approval they must follow and beg forgiveness. That should cure the tears you're currently fighting back.

Now go to the corner and think about what you've done!

I'm just kidding, you know Dio is unremorseful. What it will do is cause him to visit us late at night, I'm guessing. To assure us of his continued... regard.

 

[Grahf]

[X] Stride off. If they are to regain your approval they must follow and beg forgiveness. That should cure the tears you're currently fighting back.
--[X] You need to sort out why exactly this bothers you so much. You certainly ... appreciate Dio, but as a brother, and Del is a friend. Why did what you witnessed back there send an echo of deep sadness into you heart, distinct from how you felt after what happened on Ogre Street, but unmistakably similar?

P.S. Please let me know if I'm doing too much write in stuff. I'll knock it off if that's the case.

 

[FurikoMaru]

Well, it doesn't bug me. Guys? Anyone bugged by it?

Now, now. I'll make amends. Have some Joseph-flavour 63!Jojo/Dio.

And some non-63'd Jojo/Dio.

The next day, you

[X] go over the the Pendletons' house under the pretence of visiting with (ugh) Erina, when actually you'll catch a moment to speak with Del.

[X] write Del a letter
-> [X] and say what?

[X] confront Dio.
-> [X] Write-ins encouraged, as they will shape the tone of the conversation.

[X] spend some quality time with your books. If neither Dio nor Del come to you, you won't seek them out; you have no desire to participate in further unpleasantness.
-> [X] Is this because you regret what you said but you're too proud to apologize? Or because you genuinely think they're in the wrong and you have the right to dictate the terms of regaining your friendship?

[Guile]

[X] If we're talking with Del, then find out from her how she really feels about Dio. If the handsome devil is actually forcing her... damn it Del, this is no time for Victorian modesty! Tell me EVERYTHING.
