Sometimes a fanon interpretation shared by so many people will gaslight you into thinking YOU're not smart enough to understand it when, in reality, no, the collective of a fandom can indeed just be misinterpreting a character beyond parody. It's not you, it's them

Joseph feels for the guy -- really, he does! But he can't deny it's at least a little funny that the cat is so tricky and uppity like that -- he respects the little guy's tenacity!! A hand still comes up to cover his smile, though his eyes sparkle in a way which kind of give away just how amusing he finds this.

Still, no doubt it's frustrating for this poor stranger -- so after taking a moment to collect himself internally, he loudly hums.

❝ HMM. HM HM HMMMM........... You know, not all strays are that smart; you've really gotta hand it to em! Truly impressive how much this little cunt's givin ya a run for your money. But, don't worry! It's still just a cat -- and they're easier to outsmart than you think, eheee!! ❞ He taps the side of his forehead smugly, then looks towards where the cat is peeking out.

❝ .... Say, how much does your furry friend like strangers, hm? I've got a few ideas for how to catch him, but if we're gonna find the plan that works I need a little more information. ❞

Looks like he's pretty hyped to help catch that cat, if his expression's anything to go by! And true to his word, he's already running a bunch of different plans through his head, too. If the cat's too flighty with strangers, then the one he's considering doing right now might not work out... so they'll just have to wait and see!

The disadvantage of being on foot was that he was fighting a bit harder to be seen while taking chances on the crosswalks, in hot pursuit of the flighty Mikeko. He'd long been trying to escape, many, many times before nearly succeeding, some in more dire situations than he cared to think back to. He'd sagged in front of a cafe when his beloved feline has padded out of sight, having lost all stamina from his apartment, to this crowded city block. Apollo nearly staggers to the ground, shocked that the average passerby had even stopped to ask.

" Wh, uh-"

"The- well, my cat... " It's a pretty little calico, curling just out of sight around the corner. He's apparently very aware that his owner has tired out, and thus can explore at his leisure around this new territory. Terrible little creature it's being at the moment. In fact, as soon he turns away, out pops the feline, watching the man who feeds him turn a fraction with renewed interest. Apollo has yet to notice, looking back at the stranger. " He's originally a stray... so, I guess he was bound to outsmart me, sooner or later."

WAY TOO MUCH BULLSHIT HAS BEEN HAPPENING LATELY, and frankly, Joseph is sick of it.

There was that strange run in with Straizo a few months back, there was saving uncle Speedwagon from that weird, shady organization -- there was trying to shake off that annoying reporter who kept trailing him everywhere ( SERIOUSLY, HOW DOES SHE PULL THAT OFF? ), maintaining a facade that everything was fine and dandy around Erina and now Smokey's been pulled into the mess too -- man, it was just so much! And this wasn't even accounting for all the trauma he's been forced to bear witness to.

He saw.. SO. MANY. DEAD. BODIES. In such a short span. He even had to chop the leg of a person off! Nightmares have been regularly plaguing him since, and with less sleep comes a more cranky and on edge JoJo. With how far down he tried to shove everything, though, it was clear that he was gonna set the negative emotions as far as he could aside, and try to not think about them. If he didn't think, then he wouldn't blow up about it -- but it's certainly a flawed way of going about things.

Why?

Well. You see. The Thing™ about Joseph Joestar is that when he decides to shove his emotions away, and not address them -- well, he always, always inevitably ends up exploding. If not in the moment, then certainly later on-- when the little things keep mounting pressure and building up, until everything in him EXPLODES with a burning ( but VERY short-lived ) rage.

Unfortunately for the young Joestar ... Today, he's about to reach his current limit. After being shunted off to Italy to learn more about the Pillarmen, because Speedwagon 'knew a chap that could help' or something, but when they'd gotten to the hotel in the heart of Rome, well.. Speedwagon had some matters to attend to, and Joseph had been left alone for much of the day. He hadn't initially done much -- reading comics, mostly, until around noon hit. Though he was jet-lagged to hell and back, he'd decided it'd probably be good to get some breakfast or lunch or whatever a meal would be considered by this hour.

There's... a really, really big problem though.

Joseph is alone, in an Italian hotel, where little if any staff speak English. The menus are all in a language he can't even read, so he doesn't even know most of what he's looking at. The waiter seems to be trying to ask him what he'd like to start with, but because he understands nothing, well -- there's an ever-growing tense expression on his face. An overwhelming sensation starts to take over his mind, barely able to think with how frustrated he feels. The only thing he can think to do is try to ask for a moment to decide, since he can't make out most of the menu...

❝Uhhhhh...... Un....... uuh, how's it -- Un momento?❞ he asks, pronunciation very off. The waiter raises his eyebrow in a judging manner before nodding, saying another something he can't understand -- and right back he goes to fussing over what the hell he could possibly order from the menu that he can't read. The only option that looks like it might be safe is one that has spaghetti in the name, which -- yeah, ok, THAT he at least recognizes. But he isn't sure what the rest of it means ( al nero di seppia??? ), and he isn't so sure he's ready to try something new today.

.. Still, as he reads over the menu, reading and rereading and desperately trying to make sense of what he's looking at, it's pretty clear to any onlookers with eyes that he's getting increasingly frustrated. He has a pretty scrunched up, agitated look to him, only barely hidden by the hand that grips his hair -- which itself is beginning to stand on it's end, and even spark with Hamon just as his teeth do, soft hair going rigid in the process.

Someone should probably help soon, or he's bound to explode..

one of the most challenging skills i've had to learn as an adult is the art of figuring out whether i'm proportionally annoyed with someone or just tired and overstimulated and looking for reasons to be pissed off

You know, every day in the big city always brings something interesting to the table. Today was no exception -- he'd seen a girl with a pigeon in her tote-bag on the train, he'd seen someone be chased by a rat with a bag of crisps in it's mouth, and more -- but perhaps the most interesting thing about today would probably be what's to come!

Sitting outside a restaurant alone, he'd settled into his daily dose of people watching; eavesdropping on conversations where he could, even muttering some commentary to himself when he sees some guy try to ham up his try-hardy romance WAY too much. But, he doesn't really focus on that for long -- what catches his attention is a young man who looks a bit worse for wear. By the way he's breathing, he's probably been running for a little while -- and he sure does look exhausted. Wonder what's up with that?

Joseph sincerely doubts that he's a thief, because if he was, he'd be sure that cops would follow. This guy looks way too young to be a father, but he's got that same worried vibe as someone who's lost their kid or something, if his expression's anything to go by. And with the way he's frantically calling out a name, one that he can't quite make out from here -- maybe he lost someone else? Or something? .... .... Joseph knows he should probably stay out of this, but ...

He can never resist poking his nose where it probably shouldn't though, so of course the Joestar's gonna try and see if he can help at all. Curiosity piqued, he sets his cup down and approaches the guy. Hands in his pockets, he looms over Apollo, glancing down at him curiously -- lips pursed, brows furrowed, and a hand reaching out to pat his shoulder.

❝Oi, you there!❞ he pushes against Apollo's shoulder, tangibly shaking him a little. ❝Everything alright? You look awful, like you ran a marathon or something!❞
