Ciano and the group arrive in Rome, the heart of Italy, a mere 20 minutes after setting off. They roam the streets looking for the Speedwagon Foundation, but can't use flight to speed up the search or look from above as it would attract too much attention. Instead, Ciano just lightens the loads on the group so they can walk as fast they can.
[Dunno if Himy and Jobah wanna roleplay asking about the Foundation around Rome, or if we should just skip to when they find it and Don arrives, along with the Neutrals]
[For SoS, we need to come up with a main villian, cos even though it's a Part 6 reboot, it can't be Pucci, but that makes sense since SBR had Valentine as the antag and not Diego even though it was a Part 1 reboot. Dio will definitely still show up though. I reckon an AU Don might work well, but Niverde could be better (He could be a Pirate of the Caribbean, maybe even one of Pucci's old crew, looking for the treasure he feels he is owed?) ]
*Im down to use Niverde as a side villain or even the main villain but I want to give others a chance to. I love Niverde, he’s my boy but others should get the spotlight first. Though I do have many idea about it.*
*pm me so we can talk about your ideas for Niverde more in sea of stone.*
[That's fine, I'm chill with whatever pace we go at for this considering this is effectively the prelude to the final fight]
*Are you cool with Ciano dying in a gruesome and somewhat painful way? Omni-Man style?
[Mmmm, it's not what I was thinking would happen (I thought we were gonna go the requiem route with him and then a self sacrifice), but what do you specifically have in mind? I'm happy to work with you as long as it's not a throwaway death]

*I imagine he goes to fight off Don with Cleandro by his side, master and pupil making one last stand against him, giving Himy’s character enough time to go requiem. I was thinking Don and Ciano monologue at each other for a bit, fight, and Don crushes his jaw and pulps his corpse.*
[Ehh, I'm not so sure how I feel about that. The idea of him fighting alongside Cleandro is cool, and so is a monologue, sure, but I don't know if he would split from the group just to buy time. Also, is Cleandro beaten in this situation as well? Both him and Don are strong so idk why Ciano would go along with him if he knows he's out of his depth. Also, I'll be honest, I think it's an absolutely awful ending for him to just get pulped within seconds 'just to buy time'. It doesn't feel impactful at all. Also, I'm sure Bang Requiem would be cool, but I thought people agreed that Ciano going Requiem then sacrificing himself would fit so much better thematically. I'm open to working on this idea but I'm not sold at all so far.]

*I don’t think he could get pulped within seconds. Along with the fact that Don is strongest in a 1v1 situation. Requiem could be a cool idea but idk. Bang requiem could possibly break people’s souls, and that feels like a fitting end for the metaphorical soulless Don.*
[I think he most definitely would lmao, seeing what happened to Agapito. I thought we were going with the idea of Don getting stuck in his own Requiem loop? That seems far more thematically accurate for him. And, Bang Reqiuem would be cool, but considering the nature of the Stand (It's just Jacobs arm) idk how that would work well aside from him becoming Saitama lmao. I think the whole thing of Ciano wanting to get a stronger stand to avenge his father, and then figuratively and literally having the weight removed off of him when he achieves requiem so his soul can ascend and blah blah blah is just much better than 'Fight for a minute max and then get meat grinded so Jacob can then OHKO Don.' Just seems like a really cheap cop out for both Don, Ciano and Jacob.
Also where's Cleandro coming from in this situation and how does he fare in the fight against Don? If Ciano gets turned into mushy peas, I'm guessing Cleandro at least lands a decent blow on Don that stops him retaliating against Jacob then just...sits there]
*Don wouldn’t instantly go after Ciano, especially with his most annoying enemy of many years. You are right about Agapito though. Honestly Ciano going requiem is also fair too. Honestly most of the cast going requiem in the fight against Don’s requiem would be crazy because of his absolutely crazy stand ability. Cleandro is strong sure, but he doesn’t have a stand of his own or Hamon or spin capabilities.*
[That's fair, maybe just Don and Cleandro can duel, that would be cool and climactic. Still, we can leave it up to the other players to help decide what happens.]
*ok back. My idea for bang requiem was essentially that it gains a physical appearance and can break literally anything. Including concepts. Basically imagine if soft and wet could delete anything it stole*

*Maybe Ciano can go requiem to avenge Cleandro and grow stronger for his father. Sounds like we have that part settled.*

*Now that is a broken ability. That would make him debatable the strongest Jojo.*
*Im going to need to iron out what Don’s requiem does. Also if Requiem and Heaven is basically the same thing I might just call it Clockwork Heaven. Give me some time to think just the ability really does.*

*Boink. Also we should start soon.*
[Yeah, we probably should, but like I said in the PM I'd rather let either Jobah or Himy do some more since I've done a lot so far]
