In the foyer, Ciano and Paolo are seated, with August, Ricardo, Niverde, Vie, and all the other neutrals gathered round. As Cleandro comes in with Fulvio, Ciano gives him a smile and says, 'Well done, I was sure you'd have no trouble.' His face then goes stern and he says. 'Friends, I have something to say.' He stands, and says 'My goal in coming here, only a few days ago, was to find other Stand users, and, I'm sure you can see I accomplished that.' He chuckles and says 'But what's more, much more than this, is that I sought out a way to grow my Stand to its highest potential, because I wanted to make sure my fathers death was not in vain. But that wasn't all. When it comes to regrets, I've had a few, and those few, are too great to mention' Ciano's life plays through his mind, each time he's tried, failed, suffered, cried, laughed, smiled. He says, 'With Lucy's power, there was always a clear goal in mind, I know what I have to do, if I truly want to come to terms with myself. I've planned it out, and now it's time to see it through.' With a heavy breath he says 'I'm going to ascend my soul from my body, and then, all my guilt will be washed away, and I'll finally be able to see my father again.' He steps forward, Lucy materialised next to him, and despite the objections of a few, he stands resolute of his decision. He mutters under his breath, 'So...the end is near, and now I face the final curtain. I've lived a life that's full, but there's only one thing of which I was always certain. When I die, however it'll be, I'll do it my way.' And with that, he takes Lucy's hand, and with a light tug from his Stand, as gentle as a summer breeze, his soul is pulled from his body. The congregation sees a yellow hazy figure rise out from Ciano's body, and he says 'Wow...wow! I feel so light and free!' He floats for a second, just laughing from sheer joy, before turning to Paolo and saying 'In my back pocket, you'll find Avdol's notebook. I have no use for it any longer, so you may have it. Inside, you'll also find an address to a certain farmhouse. Bury me there, please.' And with that, Lucy and Ciano ascend into the sky, a smile on his face, before fading away into a sky of diamond stars.
[Phew, that's all my stories finished up, deep stuff but it's a fitting end I feel. I'm sure you guys have some stuff to conclude, so go ahead, I'll finalise the Sea Of Stone Intro draft and when we finish up this thread, we can put that up! (It's about evening here so I've got a couple of hours before I hit the sack. Obviously SoS won't start immediately after we put the thread up, we'll probably have a day or two of just recruitment, character descriptions and planning, but I won't be on for the first 10 or so hours of that)]
*All I have to say is Bravo. This was truly a Bizarre Adventure.*

[Wow guys, guess you really could say this was a Between Gold and Stone: A Bizarre Adventure! (Walks off into sunset as Buddy Holly starts playing, the credits beginning to scroll down on screen)]
[Yeah, I thought it would be nice to have Ciano buried there, he actually came to respect Don in a weird way when he learnt their similarities, and since Don is trapped within his own Stand, it's the least he can do to honour his memory.]

What's life without a little war to spice things up? Anyone who worries about the little things should notice the bigger picture.
I am (As drummerboy stated) The master of many faces, The unseen puppeteer, The illumination, & The unnoticed influence.
Favorite games series: Dark Souls. Shirtless Solaire. Best best game series of all time: Paper Mario. Fight me about it.
[Are there any other things to tie up? It might be good to just do like a 1 year later type thing, and then leave it at that]
*Sure* One Year Later-
Cleandro is retired, still good friends with the Joestar family but does his best to stay far from their business. He visit's Ciano's grave every year as an homage to the short time they spent. He is now a mentor for anyone who wants to learn martial arts.
Niverde now is an student of Cleandro, working for Jotaro and the Speedwagon foundation to pay for what Don had done, and to put some good in the world.

Dan has taken the notebook for his own research, as well as further research on spin. As well pushing the theoretical limits of both

Vie has reopened Pandora Palace in Marina, with no tricks or gimmicks, just a friendly local business, ran and owned by him this time. He also added a new item to the menu; The Ciano Float, a mix of lemonade, blueberry sorbet and ice cubes. No matter who orders, Vie always takes the time to make sure he keeps the ice cubes floating at the top with his Stand in memory of a customer who helped him with everything.
[I might as well put up the Sea of Stone thread tomorrow seeing as other people are still gonna be putting their final posts on here. Great work gang, I had an amazing time in this thread!]
*Hopefully i can do more stuff in the next thread, but this was fun to read through ^^*
A year later, Simon has started adapting to the fact that vampires existed and likely still exist, having gotten a job in a library, keeping his stand mostly contained, though using the colony to shelve things after hours
*Now he’s headed to where everyone else is to finish the story.*

No news is good news…
I'll lay a white rose on the cold earth, knowing it that it has not claimed your soul.
*Also Shiver I like the last detail about Don's old farmhouse, nice touch.*
