Yeah, my old man would probably kick up a fuss...but this part-time job's not gonna support my summer plans! I gotta figure something out...something else now, I guess.
That's what asking you was supposed to be! I don't want just anything, after all! I was hoping for something that'd be fun.
[No big deal, though. He'll ask around. As for his plans...]
Oh, you know, this and that.
[Probably a lot of unproductive teenager stuff. Amusement parks. Beaches. Go karts. Mini golf. Maybe the zoo again. And by the time summer comes he might have more ideas. Like actually getting out of the imPort cities and traveling?]
[...that makes Josuke smile. He didn't really think he and Giorno had much in common, and maybe they still don't, but they've got that. And it's not a bad thing to share between them. Not half bad at all.]
Never mentioned it, no. All the more reason for us to go, then.
...you serious about this? I mean, if the government'll allow it—I'd love to see Italy. Got a friend from home from there, wouldn't mind checking out the scene. And then Japan...
I was. Actually, my name isn't even Giorno Giovanna - it's Haruno Shiobana. But of course, no one in Italy would be able to pronounce that properly, so we changed it when we arrived in Naples.
I even had black hair, until recently, like my mother's.
[Not that he dyed it, because he didn't. The truth is way weirder and he's not even sure how it happened. But.]
The government wouldn't stop me from traveling - I'm Registered. You can apply for permission, yes? If we need a "chaperone" [ugh.] we could always ask Jolyne.
[Dude, seriously...what the fuck. You're like a completely different person! Like some kind of spy out of a movie or something!
...and Josuke's okay with this. It's actually really, really cool.]
I'm having a hard time picturing you with black hair! I think the blond suits you, though.
[And...still grinning. Because the more he thinks about this, the more he wants it to happen yesterday so they can already be traveling.]
Anyway, maybe we should invite Jolyne along! Not just because we probably will be asked to bring a chaperone because of our being imPorts, but because the three of us never get to hang out together! It'd be awesome.
...oh man, and we can go to Gucci headquarters together, too!
Voice
Well, I'll consider it. I should support the family, after all.
Voice
[Can you hear him starting to grin?]
Makes me wonder...there anything I can do to help you out?
no subject
[Wow that sounds so incredibly suspicious. He can't even contain the dryness in his voice.]
And what did you have in mind... exactly?
Also, what are you up to?
no subject
[...you can probably hear him thump his chest lightly, right over top of his heart.]
Can't family just help each other out? I know a few games, you know. And I've practiced slight of hand a little!
no subject
Are you angling for a job? Aren't you underage?
[You're 15, Giorno. But!]
no subject
I'm older than you!
[Still underage, though. But whatever.]
no subject
[He can acknowledge that!]

I have a legal proxy. Specifically, I have a legal proxy who is currently on probation, making things difficult!
That said... I'm more concerned about your father.

[A beat and then he groans dramatically.]

[Sipping a latte, baby]
What summer plans are you talking about, anyway?

[Speaking of traveling.]
no subject
We should! Never been there, I bet it's awesome!
[Oh, the way he brightens. What a loser.]
...and maybe we could go to Japan, too?
no subject
[Japan... he frowns a little... and then nods.]
Have I ever mentioned that I was born in Japan? Actually... my mother is Japanese. I barely remember it, though. Of course I'd love to go.

[pause pause pause]
Are you sure you want to let Jolyne near a Gucci?
no subject
[...]
Why wouldn't I wanna let her near a Gucci? If you and I are gonna deck ourselves out in the latest trends, she should, too!
