He gets a clue on the latter question during the ceremony, when the bride walks down the aisle. As soon as she passes Josuke's seat, and he sees the back of her dress, his eyes widen at the sight of her birthmark.
Okay... So he might know why he's here now.
Looking around though, he's pretty sure he doesn't recognize any of the other guests, so... Yeah. Still pretty confused. He keeps his confusion to himself until the ceremony is over, metaphorically sitting on his hands until the reception, at which point he tries to get a moment alone with the woman who he knows he must somehow be related to. That moment alone is hard to get, though, since she's always with her new wife (he can't really blame her for that), and since her stand keeps blocking him from trying to get closer (at least, he's assuming the stand is hers).
So there's Josuke, separated from his fiancée, trying to negotiate with Stone Free for an audience with its user. ]
No, please, you don't get it... I know the bride! I mean, I don't actually know her, but... We're cousins! Or... something. Anyway, can I please just talk to her for a minute??
no subject
Until Jolyne's quickly muttering something to Carly and stealing a quick kiss before standing and making her way over to him and the Stand.]
The fuck's this about us being cousins or something? Pretty damn sure my dad doesn't have any siblings. [She's assuming it's probably her dad's side of the family since he sure doesn't look remotely anything like her mom or anything.
She's leaning against the stalwart Stand a bit, a bit of string being recalled back to the Stand's hand that had been connected to Jolyne. That... is probably how she heard all of that.]
And don't bother asking me how I heard all that, let's just say string's pretty fuckin' useful. Now who the hell are you?
no subject
[ You know what? He's not even going to question that. Of course the stand has magic telephone strong. Why the fuck wouldn't it have something like that?
Anyway, Josuke's beginning to get a headache, but at least he got what he wanted and now he can figure out who this woman is and how they're related. ]
Okay, so... Probably not actual, literal cousins. I don't think my old man has any siblings, either. Not any that are alive, anyway. But, look. [ He turns and tugs down the shoulder of his collar, to show her his own birthmark. Sometimes actions speak louder than words. ]
no subject
Can't argue that point, ain't like anyone's getting tattoos like that or anything. Jolyne Cujoh, who the fuck're you, then? [Sorry, Josuke, you... probably figured out who she's related to at this point.]
You got a Stand or anything? Heard that's some bullshit our family's got runnin' 'round, too. Not that I got a long time with Stone Free or anything, but point still stands. [THAT WAS A HORRIBLE THING TO SAY ON THE END, but she's just letting it roll.]
no subject
and her mouth, he's pretty sure he can figure out how they might be related. ] Ah, I guess that would make me your great uncle...? I'm Joseph Joestar's ...son. Josuke Higashikata.[ Over the years, that's gotten easier to admit out loud, but it still feels weird to say. ]
Mm? Oh, yeah. [ He quickly summons forth Crazy Diamond, who stands obediently at his side, eyeing Jolyne and Stone Free. ]
This is Crazy Diamond.
no subject
Joseph Joestar, huh... Yeah, that'd make you my great uncle, then. Guessin' you've already met my dad then, seeing as you recognized that last name. [She rolls her shoulders for just a moment, just working out a bit of tension that had been there. This is actual family, she really shouldn't be tense about it. It's fine.
Probably.
When Crazy Diamond decides to show up, she's watching the Stand for a moment or two, though Stone Free seems... well, it's either unimpressed or neutral, who knows with that one.]
Huh, guess all of ours end up lookin' humanoid or something. Weird. But I guess... that's kinda genetics or something?
no subject
[ It's... an awkward and long story. He's still not all that close with the Joestar side of the family, having chosen to stay in Morioh rather than visit America. ]
Maybe... My old man's stand isn't like that, though. [ He only ever saw Mr. Joestar use Hermit Purple the one time, but it left an impression. ] Maybe it's just a later generation thing?
no subject
[Wait, what. It's not? She's frowning for a moment, having... not actually seen that Stand herself. Weird. Weird, weird, weird.]
I'd sorta based it off Stone Free and Star Platinum looking humanoid, guess I was wrong? Fuckin' weird. Maybe it is? [Whatever, no time to mull over all of that.]
For being my great uncle you look kinda young. [Aaaand there it is.] Though your fashion sense seems to say timelines might be acting fucked up again.
no subject
[ Insulting Japan is like... the fifth worst thing Jolyne could have said to Josuke. After insulting Morioh, his mom, his fiancée, and his hair, first and foremost.
But his anger isn't too deep that he can't address the rest of what she says. ]
Fucked up again? [ He already assumed something weird was going on with time, seeing as he doesn't think Jotaro's daughter is supposed to be old enough to be getting married already.
Sure, he could clarify that Joseph had him pretty late in life, but why would he do that, when he can just be confused and defensive? ]
no subject
What? I ain't got shit against Japan. [How did he jump to that conclusion? Shit.]
Dad kept fucking running off to Japan and wouldn't come the hell back even for important shit. And eventually just kinda stayed the hell over there and, oh you know, divorced my mom. You know, that kinda shit. I don't give a rat's ass about Japan, you feel?
[Thank fuck she has something else she can focus on here for a little bit, she was starting to get that itching feeling of wanting to punch a bitch.]
Yeah. Seems to happen here at least once a year where, like, we'll get our powers and abilities and shit back. And people who weren't here before end up showing up. You just kinda showed up here and have no idea where here is, right?
1/3
2/3
3/4, I lied
Quick! He needs a way out of this train of thought, FAST.
Oh thank god, Jolyne's still talking. ]
ok I'm done
Hehehe... Yeah. It's pretty weird. One minute I was at home with my fiancée, the next, we were here, with a bunch of weird animals following us around.
no subject
Unlike Joseph's everything.]
Ohhh, you're engaged? Cute. [Look, she can't help teasing him a bit since her designated Joestar teasing target is no longer here.]
Yeah, that's what tends to happen on those kinds of weekends. Like usually I can't access Stone Free but these creatures are still here. I can't do any of the shit I could with her or anything. But for this one weekend, I can. Welcome to the Sevii Islands or whatever. You may or may not end up accidentally in Johto or Kanto going through a door or something, that... tends to be a thing, too.
no subject
Yeah, she's around here, actually... Walking the dog, I think. Oh! Over there.
[ He points over to a pink haired young woman standing on the other side of the reception area with a heart-trimmed Furfrou by her side. There's a dumb cute little moment where he waves at her to try to get her attention, but... She's too far away. Oh well. ]
Huh... You mean this place normally takes your stand powers away? That's really weird...
no subject
lesbianbi great niece anything like that, which she's at least nice enough to not say anything too stupid.]Cute. Also I'll never get over those fucking cuts for furfrou. Mine just stays in his natural coat, but works better to keep a watch over the more farm-based Pokemon.
[Oh right, he asked a question. Haha.]
It takes away literally any kind of ability that makes you anything more than a normal-ass human. Like Carly's got some shenanigans from her world that kinda changed the whole human thing but here, except on these weekends, she's also a normal-ass human.
no subject
[ The stand "Dora's" approvingly. Josuke remains a total nerd. ]
Okay. That's definitely weird. [ The only kind of non-normal people Josuke knows about are either stand users, Mikitaka, Reimi, or Kokoro. But he supposes if the people who get brought here come from a whole bunch of different worlds... then anything is possible, right? ]
Does anyone know why it happens? Why everyone gets brought here?
no subject
[Sorry, Josuke, she's gonna tell it like it is. Stone Free tilts her head at the both of them, because what on Earth are they going on about? Honestly...]
Would you believe me if I said it's essentially a space llama that's basically the god of this world? Because I sure as hell still don't believe it even though it's the damn truth. [Pokemon world is stupid as hell.]
no subject
Moving on. ]
That doesn't make any sense, you're right. But I guess none of this whole day makes any damn sense, so why not a space llama, too?
[ It's not as though aliens aren't real. ]
no subject
I've never seen the damn thing myself, but that's supposedly what the god of this place is or whatever. This whole place is a fucking shitshow on the best of days but it's... peaceful-ish at least, I guess? [She doesn't even know at this point and it's easier to just roll with it than question it.]
