Jojo's : A Bizarre Journey

#1

As i hold my breath inside the wooden box im in, I hear some words, more precisely, some mumbles, something along the lines of "When i catch him..."

This middle aged man is obviously referring to me, who just stole some fruits from his stand, he sounds pretty annoyed that just when he was closing a little shit just stole his stuff

'Im pretty sure he's not even mad i stole something, he just wants to vent his anger'

Fortunatelly he got distracted with whatever other thing is in my opposite direction.

So i made a run for it, I quickly open the box and start running outside the dark alley I'm in. The people around me quickly take notice and start mumbling and judging me by my looks, which, are not precisely appropiate for this day, place and era.

As i keep on running, the stares vanish when i enter another alley, where I rest for a little below one of the roofs overhangs.

I look at today's loot.

'6 apples, i think it could last me around a day or two'

After my rest i walk as inconspicuously as a 12 year old with hands full of apples can, not too fast to stand out, but a bit faster than average.

I open the 'Tab'

'A whole year'

Sounds a lot of time, and it is, but with the things i had to do to keep on living make me feel like a middle aged man on shady bussiness because he got himself in deep shit.

'Or not really'

Dumb thoughts aside I run into my makeshift house between the old boxes of another alley and i try to sleep and finish my day.

For three reasons primarily, To skip over dinner, Because running made me tired and more importantly, I need to see if the reward i get will make my survival more easier.

And so as I tried to see the differences between sheep and electric sheeps, I feel asleep.

'Why is it so hot in here?'

Was my first thought as I realized that someone had moved the box above mine and the sunlight was hitting directly my box.

I get out of it and inmediately open my tab

'Thanks but how and why would i-?'

"Argh"

I felt the skill taking effect inmediatly, it affected my body hurting me like Stealth did it, but with different purpose, I felt my hands getting more agile and nimble, I felt my body correcting its posture and standing correctly. It didnt hurt as Stealth did, probably because my body didn't need much correction after getting stealth.

Anyways, that done it hit me:

"This basically useless right?"

I mean, why would i kill someone? More importantly, if I kill someone, the police will definitly be on me, and thats something i cant escape.

Even more, I'm an orphan and that's basically the group thats most looked down upon.

Whatever...

I guess its not bad in a last case scenario, and there's Self-Defense laws in this country right..?

I try to console myself about my reward and make my way into the bar that's closest to my hiding spot, seeing if can rob a few drunkards of their pennies.

But something is strange today, there's way too many people around the same table

'A woman?, A rich guy?, A rich woman?'

I snatch some wallets and get closer to the table.

"Come on, a kid is going to beat you?"

"He's definitly drunk already"

I weave the drunkards and see the conmotion

'A chess match?'

A Man and A Handsome Blonde boy around my age sat playing, the man clearly frustrated and the boy appeared calm, but he couldn't erase a slight smirk that went unnoticed by the people around us, clearly out of their mind.

'He looks familiar'

Considering I never met anyone as particular as him. This had some weight.

The match ends and the boy quickly gets out of the bar, taking the bets.

I follow him and the more i look at him, the more familiar he is.

He stops at the outsides of the city in a small village, enters a worn down house and closes the door behind him.

I quickly get close to the window and listen in to the conversation between an old voice and the boy's

"...some medicine, won't you?"

"Dumbass!". The old man screamed, a sound of flesh hitting flesh ringed, and continued

"Dio, how in the hell do you have money to buy medicine?"

"I won money betting on chess matches..."

"Then go buy some GODDAMMED booze with it, you hear me?!"

Broken glass sound out and something fell inside the house.

But i wasn't focusing anymore.

My mind kept one word and didn't let it go

"Dio"

I mumbled

And everything became clear to me.
