The Ludicrous Escapade Pt.3

Little High, Little Low

Well, almost you. Your color scheme was much more desaturated and you seemed to be wearing a light grey school uniform. Having been to Polnareff Land before, Bruno immediately recognized it as the version of you they had decided to use around the park.

The off-brand you spotted Bruno staring and gave a polite wave, "Hey, you know me, don't you? You like me, right?" You hopped off the seat and skipped toward him. "Am I your favorite character? What's your name?"

Bruno took a bit of a closer look. Other than the color change, your physical features were slightly off, as well. And it went without saying that the characterized you had a bit of a different personality. "I'm... Bruno Bucciarati."

"(Y/N)! (Y/N)!" A kid tugged on the sleeve of your uniform. "If... If you're here, does that mean the big, bad Dio will show up, too? Are you gonna use your super powers to stop him?"

You stuck your tongue out and winked while giving a peace sign, "Of course! There's no way that stupid vampire could beat me and the crusaders! Speaking of..." You put a hand up to your forehead as your eyes darted around the bus, "Where are they?" You cupped your hands around your mouth, "Cute-aro! Polnareff! Where are you guys?!"

Bruno watched, unsure of what to do. You had told him of your adventures back in Egypt, so he knew all about that. He had also watched the twelve episode cartoon that was produced by Polnareff Land four years ago in order to attract more customers. Would this follow that plot?

Bruno clenched and unclenched his fists. He knew Anasui had managed to return to his body after destroying Pinocchio, so if he killed you, would he able to go back? You were human in the show. Just a high schooler who happened to have superpowers. The superpowers weren't quite Stands and the abilities themselves were altered from the original. So it probably wouldn't be too difficult for him to kill you if he really wanted to.

The bus came to a stop. Bucciarati was pulled from his thoughts when you looped your arm around his own and led him off the vehicle and onto the sidewalk. "Since I can't find the others, you'll be my crusader for now! Do you want to be Avdol? Oh wait... I guess he dies. Caesar then?" You shook your head. "No... he dies, too."

Bruno decided to let you drag him along. His body had already seemed to have left on its own along with Weather Report. "(Y/N)... where are we going?" Maybe he could just look for his body on the way or try and think up another method to return to normal. Even if he knew it wasn't really you, he wasn't sure if he could bring himself to kill you. Plus, it wasn't like you were trying to hurt him, or anything. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad to just hang out with you for a while and wait for things to die down. Or, at least, for Weather to find the Stand user.

"To fight Dio, of course. His superpower, 'The Globe,' let's him teleport wherever he wants. So it's gonna be tricky to find him." You suddenly stopped walking, which caused Bruno to bump into you. You leaned your head back to stare up at him. "I got it! You'll be Kakyoin!" You started moving again with a hop in your step. "I had a crush on Jotaro since Freshman year, but when Kakyoin transferred, I couldn't help but think he was cute. And I think you're cute, too, Mister. So that's why you'll be Kakyoin."

It was a bit strange for him to hear you talking like that about someone, especially with you having a slightly different voice. After all, it wasn't like the real you had been the voice actor for the show.

Something fell into Bruno's line of sight, and he went to brush it aside. Except, he immediately realized that the thing was a new swirly lock of dark, reddish brown hair attached to his own scalp. "Wait, when did..." Bruno rushed over to a store window, using the reflection to spot the changes made in his appearance. Perhaps he didn't have as much time to fix the situation as he thought.
