"Finally!" Polnareff exclaimed, "We've met a normal person in this odd town!"

The woman smiled and nodded. You couldn't help but feel something in your gut telling you to leave, but as soon as everyone else began to follow her you knew you had no choice but to do the same.

The lady was a few paces in front of your group.

"The stand user could be hiding anywhere in this town," Kakyoin spoke quietly. "Keep your guards up."

"This fog makes it even worse," Polnareff complained. "Our enemy could be right next to us and we wouldn't even know."

The lady tapped her cane on the ground twice, gaining your attention and breaking up your conversation.

"Right this way, Master Joestar," she said. "It's right there. If you'd follow me, I'll show you to your rooms."

Wait, did you hear that correctly?

'Master Joestar'?

How did she know?

Polnareff screaming out of excitement tore you from your confusion.

"John Lennon stayed here?! Really?!"

"No," the lady informed him. "I'm just pulling your leg, young man."

No one else seemed to react to the lady's words, so you assumed you misheard her. That was until you saw Jotaro's face. His usual aloof and bothered expression had changed to one of suspicion.

He cut off the woman, who was talking about the dinner menu.

"Hold it, grandma," he insulted. "You called me 'Joestar', didn't you?"

The woman halted her steps, and her body tensed.

A tell tale sign... someone's guilty!

With a small cough, she finally spoke, "Come now, that young man next to you earlier said 'Mr. Joestar' earlier."

Polnareff, the young man the woman was gesturing to, looked confused. Mr. Joestar and Jotaro were very clearly two different people. Did she take you for idiots?

"I said that? I don't remember saying that, but I could be wrong..."

"You did, sir!" The lady convinced Polnareff, "when you've been in this business for as long as I have, you pick up on things like that quickly."

You glared at her skeptically. She caught your eyes and turned away quickly.

Polnareff began trying to woo over the old lady, showering her with compliments, then they both broke out into a fit of laughter.

Was he seriously that dense?

The hotel was very dimly lit.

Before walking in you all decided to write down fake names in the guestbook as a precaution.

After Jotaro, the last person to go, signed the book and closed it, the elderly woman spoke up.
