JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 10: Mitternachts Walzer

Anamanaguchi PT 1

*Josephine, wearing a short sleeve lab coat, a butterfly sequin top, and gold pants with butterfly trinkets of various colors along base of her pants legs, enters the dean's office to have a talk about her tenure. The dean doesn't appear to be there, but his office door is left open for anyone to walk in.*

Josephine: Usually, doors like this are kept locked. Maybe he left in a hurry or something.

*Joanne's phone rings. The caller ID displays a picture of Dominique, Pearla, and Enrique all in a group photo.*

Josephine: Hey, Dominique, to what do I owe this audio meet up?

Dominique: I just had an urge to call you. You wouldn't happen to be in Massachusetts, would you?

Josephine: Indeed I am. What's up?

Dominique: I've been studying some odd cases of lightning that have ravaged the U.S. for quite a few years. Recently, important monuments in the country have been struck by this same phenomenon. There are even some states that have reported odd happenings in cities and small towns after the lightning had stricken.

Josephine: Any clue what it could be?

Dominique: Zero. All I know is that they all happen around the same time: Midnight. I need you to do me a favor and ask some locals if they've seen any strange occurrences including lightning or otherwise.

Josephine: Yeah, I can do that for you. Any other info I need to know? What kind of strange happenings have happened after the lightning?

Dominique: Well...based off what's been reported, they sound like nothing short of stand users awakening in droves as result of the lightning. Some have turned into electrical storms with the most recent one being over the Harvard university campus a week or so ago.

Josephine: Harvard campus? Hm...I'll definitely look into this for you. I heard about something happening at a hospital near the school where all the hospice patients were suddenly released because they had "perfect health." Maybe, I'll send some medical scientist from the Speedwagon foundation to find out what may have caused it.

Dominique: Makes sense. They are the only scientist in the world to my knowledge with stand research. I'm on my way to Seattle to research the cloud patterns since they are reportedly starting to form an abnormal rain.

Josephine: I'll keep you posted.

*After saying her goodbyes, she looked around and saw an open file labeled "missing students" and opens it up to find a list of over 30 students reported missing along with their ID numbers for campus and student logins.*

Josephine: Missing students? This is quite the lengthy list, but if all of these students are missing, why isn't this place swarming with police?

*Footsteps approach the door placing Josephine in a problematic situation. She sharply turns her eyes toward the door. The footsteps continue to travel down the hall giving her minimal time to react as a hand reaches for the frame of the door and in steps a frantic Marshall looking around the office for the dean.*

Marshall: He isn't in his office...THAT FOOL! HOW MANY- Wait a second...he's not in his office, but he always keeps it locked....someone has to be in here.

*Josephine is shown to be stitched to the ceiling above him just out of his sight. Marshall looks around the office and turns his attention toward the ceiling moments after Josephine uses her stand to turn herself invisible by using Golden Lady's gold wires to reflect the light off of her body to narrowly escape his view.*

Marshall: Or was here. I need to find that disc immediately. The hunters are already looking for Tobias. If they find out that I didn't sacrifice my target, my name will be next on the chopping block. Wait, that private investigator...when she questioned me...could she have been on to me or at the very least, investigating the cult? Earlier, when I was in my room and I felt that presence...could she have...?
