[moonlightbeast]

I still can't decide if he's going to call her 'hot-san' or 'pants-san'.

[Because they can't talk about abilities and stands in public, how else can they dramatically reveal that shit during a fight?

Anyway, Atsushi will be waiting in the courtyard for her. He seems a a little chilly going by how he's shivering and blowing his breath onto his hands, but otherwise he's fine.]

[fleshedout]

...

[She doesn't seem Too bothered by the cold, but she's glancing over at him regardless.]

You could grab a sheet from the mansion if you're cold.

[moonlightbeast]

The sheets were all gross. It's fine anyway, it's not that cold.

[He'll tough out a chill, for now.]

So, you said you knew someone who could turn into a monster?

[fleshedout]

At this point, we have to take what we can get.

[She'll nod at that.]

Yes. He could turn himself and other living things into dinosaurs.

[moonlightbeast]

...dinosaurs?

[That. That is not an answer he had been expecting.]

And here I thought you were going to doubt me if I said I can turn parts of myself into a tiger.

[fleshedout]

Yes. Dinosaurs.

[JJBA!]

[And...huh. Tiger. She does not seem very surprised or doubtful at all.]

Hm. Only parts? Is that your ability?

[moonlightbeast]

It can be parts or a whole transformation. But just parts goes better, usually. I can't exactly talk if I have a tiger head, after all.

[It's nice to be believed right away, honestly.]

It's called 'Beast Beneath the Moonlight'.

[fleshedout]

I see. That's your Stand, huh...

[But she nods, seemingly pleased that other people have abilities! Feels familiar!]

I'm guessing you can't use it here, though.

[moonlightbeast]

I don't think I've ever heard it called a Stand, we always just call them 'abilities' where I'm from.

[Me, Maple, refusing to use the official translation of 'Gift'.]

But you're right, I can't use it here. I tried already.

[fleshedout]

That so?

[Hm.]

...I think this world is blocking our abilities. [...] I'm a Stand User, myself.

[moonlightbeast]

I think most people here- if not everyone- has an ability. Everyone I've talked to has said they can't do magic or powers or whatever they call it where they're from.

[Look at all these Stand Users!]

What can you do?

[fleshedout]

Hm. I've gathered as much as well. I think some people are trying to hide it, though.

[She stares at him for a moment, but whatever internal test he seems to pass, since she decides to be nice. She pulls out the golden spray can-looking thing on her belt. It has "HP" on it.]

Cream Starter. My meat spray can heal wounds, among other things.

[your what spray]

[moonlightbeast]

[Excuse?]

Your...meat spray?

[fleshedout]

Yes. It can spray flesh.

[you know!]

[WELCOME TO JJBA]

[moonlightbeast]

[Hm. Dislike.]

I...I see. That certainly does sound helpful for healing people, yes.

[fleshedout]

It's a shame it isn't working. I would have healed my wounds the minute I arrived...

[moonlightbeast]

[Speaking of which-]

You, um, you're not going to need a doctor, are you? Medical supplies seem to be in short supply here too, and I haven't seen Yosano-san around.

[fleshedout]

No. I'll be fine.

[Very firmly. She's okay!!]

[moonlightbeast]

[To doubt or not to doubt...]

Well, that's good at least. I would hate for you to struggle just because we can't get you to a doctor.

[fleshedout]

I won't. Don't worry about me.

[moonlightbeast]

[Ah. She's one of those types.]

I'll try my best not to worry, but no promises.

[He is anxiety personified after all.]

[fleshedout]

[She sure is!!!]

Worry about yourself, first. And worry about getting out of this mess.

[moonlightbeast]

I can worry about myself and others at the same time, you know.

[fleshedout]

...If you must, but don't put me before you.

[moonlightbeast]

[The long pause there should indicate that Atsushi will definitely struggle with that.]

I'll try.
