    [X] Lay a hand on her head in comfort. "It's all right, Raccoon. No harm will come to you. I will not allow it." Minion get!

    She hugs you. You resist the urge to roll your eyes. Being a child is useful to you in the short term, in that it makes people underestimate you, but it is also thoroughly frustrating, in that these same people think you're obligated to absorb their affection.

    You stroke her back.

    "Raccoon," her earpiece murmurs, "what's your status?"

    With a hard sniff and a sleeve rubbed roughly across her eyes, she pulls her expression back together and stands.

    "Client secure," she says, in a calm, steady voice.

    =

    The old man listens to your testimony in a gentle but alert manner. Miho does not fidget, or bite her lip, or give convoluted answers to her superiors' questions; she is a tokubetsu jounin, and she carries herself as one.

    You wonder fancifully how the venerable officers in attendance would react to seeing the phlegmatic young warrior before them clinging to a five-year-old boy like a frightened kitten and sobbing her eyes out.

    =

    It's two days later. You are in the middle of a spirited game of shogi with Shikamaru, new ANBU attendants hovering about you invisibly, when you sense that somehow, without you noticing, one of them has been replaced by a stranger.

    [X] THE WORLD! Getting past your guard? Unacceptable. See who it is.
    -> [X] If another assassin, death.
    -> [X] If another assassin, some subtle prank to dissuade him from his foolish endeavour. You don't wish to traumatize Shikamaru so early in life; his first time seeing a dead body should be special.

    [X] Pretend not to notice. Your ninjutsu teacher was supposed to be here to pick you up two hours ago; if he's going to make you wait, you can make him wait.

    [X] Inform him that he's late.

    -----

    Oof. I'm sorry, guys, I'm going Togashi over here.

    Even if it is an assassin, I trust in The World to protect us. Even with our weakened The World, it should be more than enough to fend off a single assassin, combined with our Frozen Time, and we should have nothing to fear.

    As much as I hate the fact that The World has been weakened, it does make sense, as a de-aged Polnareff could only summon a mini-Silver Chariot during his fight with Alessi, not that we'd know that IC, of course.

    The world hasn't been weakened. We have the Kyuubi being sealed in us to thank for that. Also its Kakashi.

    IIRC the World's Time Stop is normal, but its (meta)physical abilities are still weak(er), it's grown stronger since we were a baby, but I doubt it's at full strength yet.

    Also we don't know who the new guy is IC, so we have every right to be suspicious.

    That was before we got the Kyuubi boost.
    Since then our Timestop and the Stand's physical parameters were at full power.
    Just take a look at our statsheet, if you don't believe it.

    Having us absently declare that he's late (then placing another shogi stone) would be funny, but I think we're still pretending to be only a step or two from normal.

    Could act like we're talking about our ninjutsu instructor, only to subtly make it clear to the stranger we know what's up and screw with their head.

    I just realized. Not call Kakashi on the fact that he's late might be a bad idea. Dude may take this as a chance to slack off.

    Yeah, that or it's just the original stats for The World.
    Seems to directly contradict that The World is up to its previous speed, unless you're saying that we're currently capable of deflecting an Emerald Splash with one finger, and without using our Stand?

    I assumed that all the 'boost' did was give a full timestop, it mentioned nothing about bringing it's physical abilties or size to full.

    Or it gives off the impression that a mere kid isn't capable of detecting a highly skilled ninja in hiding.

    I took that to mean that our own speed limits The World's speed simply because The World is a humanoid Stand and therefor has crap range.
    So, regardless of how fast The World is, it still can't close in on anyone faster than we ourselves can.

    This is further supported by the fact that there was no word about Destructive Power, Precision or Durability being inhibited.

    I also find it rather doubtful that the stats on our statsheet aren't our stats.
    Why else should they have been put there?

    Uhh how does us needing to get into range affect The World's speed at all? If anything our movement speed affect The World's effective range, not its speed. As for the stats, I belived Furiko copy+pasted the Stats from the wiki. Our picture is of an adult Dio, and I'm pretty sure we're still just a kid.

    All we've sealing the demon into us is giving us full control over The World's frozen time, and until we see evidence otherwise, I don't want to overestimate ourselves by assuming that The World is at full power.

    You're still at full speed and power. The World has been diminished only in the sense that your control over it is lessened, so every time you use it in mêlée you're always going to go whole hog regardless of what you would prefer.

    Thank you for clearing that up, I don't really know how'd we'd really improve our control over the world other than with practice, though. Maybe we should come up with some precision punching drills, and using The World to juggle eggs or something.

    Our Developmental potential is only B, so we're not going to be pulling crazy new techniques out of nowhere like Giorno and Jolyne, and we're not going to be able to use Acts like Koichi, but hopefully we'll be able to improve The World's precision to a reasonable level.

    Is The World's precision currently rank B? Because it sounds like it's lower than that, I mean, at B rank precision, Josuke is able to flick bullets as with good accuracy up to 60m, heck he's almost able to hit a rat hiding in cover at that distance.

    ditch rat, bear rat, white rat.

    It's much lower. But that's temporary, so I didn't see any need to tamper with the canon stats.
