[Thankfully, that someone else is not so easily cowed.]

What the hell is this?

[Kisegawa doesn't much care for all the magical tomfoolery of Vaikuntha, but at least nothing on Vaikuntha looks like it escaped from a feline bodybuilding competition. Really, what the hell is that thing supposed to be? Are all cats in Okuyasu's world some bizarre freaks of nature? Is he from an alternate universe where evolution just gave up and started picking random definitions from a dictionary to decide what 'cat' means?]

[righthandstand]

[Jojo's Bizarre World is not going to get any more normal from here on out. Okuyasu turns around when he hears an unfamiliar - yet recognizable - voice behind him. Some woman from a nearby temple or from a rich house went outside for a walk and stumbled across the fight scene.

Yoshikage Kira cannot get near her.]

It's-- [He waits, hoping that Josuke or Hayato can provide a convincing excuse, but they are silent.] It ain't safe here! We got this!

[If she ran to call the police, maybe they'd have a chance of catching him!]

[whirluendo_of_puns]

Clearly.

[From what little sense she can make of this... Muscle cat is hovering behind the businessman like Okuyasu's ghost robot was doing earlier, so obviously it's the same power. And there's no one else around who looks ready or able to fight, so figuring out the culprit isn't hard.]

Stripe-hair there responsible for this? Think you can keep him off while I get your buddy somewhere safe?

[righthandstand]

[How is she so calm in such a scene? It's pretty nice that she's not screaming her head off, but she's still not a Stand User.]

Yeah, he is! Josuke!

[The injured teenager responds:] Don't worry about me!

[The businessman is furious that there's now a fourth person who knows his secret.]

I, Yoshikage Kira, have spent my entire life living peacefully. I despise mess and laziness, and luck always end up on my side. Stray Cat!

[The cat man opens up its chest like a cabinet, revealing a familiar cat flower residing in the cavity.]

[whirluendo_of_puns]

[Why is Stray Cat-- No, never mind that. If she starts trying to understand any of this, she'll be at it all day.]

And yet here you are, making a mess. You'll forgive me if I'm skeptical of your peace-loving nature, Pinstripes.

[She's not even deigning to call him by his name. If he gets mad, all the better -- it'll give Okuyasu an opening to strike.]

[righthandstand]

[The ghost man swipes at the air, seemingly doing nothing...until an invisible force tugs at Stray Cat. It is ripped out of the cat man's chest cavity and flies across the street right into Okuyasu's non-ghost hands.]

What?!

[Stray Cat hisses and tries to claw its way out of Okuyasu's grip, who is attempting to placate it with pets.]

That's it! Without Stray Cat, Kira can't make any more air bubble bombs! [The young boy thankfully narrates what is happening to the confused viewers.]

[whirluendo_of_puns]

[Oh, good. Kisegawa isn't a big fan of those shows that stop every three minutes to explain how someone's power works, but she'll take it this time.]

Would that be your cue to beat the ever-living tar out of this guy? I'll hold Stray Cat for you, so hop to it.

[Her grip -- should Okuyasu allow her to take Stray Cat -- is firm, but surprisingly gentle. Even if she knew the full extent of Stray Cat's abilities at this point, it wouldn't stop her from giving it a stern look.]

And you will behave yourself like a good kitty. Got it?

[righthandstand]

[Kisegawa would not fare well in the world of Jojo.

Okuyasu glances at the lady, then at the cat, then at the strong-willed lady again. He doesn't even know her and she might not even be a Stand User, but she's got balls to look at this scene without screaming and just give out commands like that. She's so cool.

He holds out Stray Cat for her to take, then rushes at Kira, summoning The Hand once more to swipe at him. Kira steps back, gripping the stone fence separating the sidewalk from the larger, busy street.

Stray Cat growls at this terrible human who dares to touch it.]
