[ god, it's strange having someone (who isn't his race partner) actually care about him. Once again, the gesture of companionship seems to surprise him; he blinks at Yuuta when he sets a hand on his shoulder, then shifts his expression into something more serious. In another situation, Johnny might have smirked and been more confident - but, as noted, it's different when someone else's life is on the line. Instead, he just nods. ]
Yeah... same to you. Don't die. [ a beat; he glances over at Syrlya, too, who he doesn't know so well, but whose life is depending on him just the same - and vice versa. ] You too.
[ Rika's creepy voice isn't exactly comforting, especially knowing he accidentally stuck his whole foot in his mouth when they met. He tries to keep thinking of her as a Stand and not a scary ghost (which seems closer to the truth.) Once Yuuta cues that he's ready to go, Johnny shifts where he's sat, pulling himself into a precise position at the corner of the building. From there, events take place one after another, and very quickly: his hands and fingernails, light up with blue stars, a robotic-looking waist-high spirit appears out of the air beside him, and as Johnny holds his two fingers in a gun-like posture and jabs them into the side of his cheek, the Stand mimics the motion. Then, there's a loud buzzing noise, like a tiny fan spinning, and for an instant, Johnny's entire body distorts like he's being sucked into a black hole before he and Tusk are simply gone -- vanished into a tiny bullet-sized hole now marking the outside wall beside them. ]
AIGHT... feel free to split off here!!
