Bob gathers the cards back into a stack "Don't worry, I don't want anything from you. You should pay back that dealer what the car was worth. I may be too trustful of a person, but I had a feeling you were just doing what someone with not a lot of money had to. I would know, I don't have much money myself." He begins to shuffle them "I believe you fought a stand, I haven't seen one like that, but I sleep like a rock. Pay them back, and we are square. By the way, the name is Bob D'arby."

Cianuro sighs harder this time and says 'That's the problem, I can't really use my power to generate honest cash. I could scam someone else out of the money to pay back the car, but it's a vicious cycle. However, I can create anything he'd like in the moment, such as a Michelin star level dining experience, a test drive in the worlds best super car, any information he wants. I've got options, they're all just exchanging his goods for my services, and that doesn't included permanent cash.' He then raises an eyebrow at the name and says 'Great. So you're not the Joestar I'm looking for.' Getting up from the table, he says 'I'll negotiate with that dealer on what he might want. But, for now, I've got a person to find. Has the surname Joestar and may know a thing or two about the world's greatest fortune.' He hands over a number, with the name Cianuro Brezza written at the top. 'Call me if you find anything.'
He takes the number and pockets it “Before ya go, you have a sick mind Mr. Cianuro, reading it, even for a moment wasn’t exactly the most pleasant experience. You’ve got some skeletons in that closet of yours, but that’s not my story to tell.” He gets up with a grunt and a huff “Have a good one Mr.Cianuro, if ever want to play cards, I’ll find my way around.” He walks off, a rhythm in his steps.
"Even if we did, I doubt you would get to come along."
"so, you cant shut it off?"
"If we turned it off everyone except maybe you would be dead."
"all I want is occasional artificial eclipses. is that too much to ask?"
"You know the sun isn't always in the sky right? Night time does exist."
"yeah, but there's still half a day when I cant go out"
"Most people sleep during the night, so it's practically no different from everyone else."
"but I slept for the last few thousand years, and I wont have to sleep for a few thousand more."
"Well you're thousands of years old, you can figure it out." He begins to leave the cave, a shimmer covering his body as he moves through solid objects.

Cianuro, for the first time, feels a flash of fear at that table. He calms down as he tells himself that Bob’s reaction means he’s only seen a glimpse. Not everything. Though, with such power, this man might be a danger. He’s glad to see him leave, and decides immediately it’s best to give him a wide berth in future.
Later on in the evening, Cianuro is still mulling over Bob’s words. ‘You’ve got some skeletons in that closet of yours’ It was a common phrase, but maybe, just maybe, it was a reference to what he saw. A reference to Cianuro’s dead father. Getting up from his seat, he begins to pace the room, grabbing a bottle of generic vitamin gummies for kids on the windowsill, and thoughtlessly switching them to some bizarre and expensive pills as soon as he grabs hold. Swallowing one, he tries to ease his mind, but it doesn’t work immediately, and he tosses the bottle over his floorboards, a few rolling just too far away and reverting to grinning gummy smiles. Holding his head in his hands, the thumping slowly eases, and he begins to fall asleep on the floor, his last thought being ‘Bob D’Arby cannot find out that I killed my father…’
[I had the idea for Cianuro’s dad for ages, since Ciano’s dad was a huge part of his character, and always was going to make it that Cianuro was the one that killed him. His name is Cyanide, after all. Though, I wasn’t sure when to introduce it, so that was a perfect set-up, thanks!]

*I had a feeling you were going to go for something like that, so it felt best that Bob reveals he knows something, without telling how much he knows. Considering his mind reading is limited, I imagine Bob knows he killed his own dad, but doesn't know why or how, and can't really judge either, but we've revealed enough secret pasts today.*

Viviane is working at the cafe again. Her dad was annoyed she dipped halfway through a shift but didn't bother to punish her.
[I'm considering maybe making a third character, though I've not got any ideas. You guys know any roles that need to be filled in the narrative?]
*Well both the D'arby twins are present, Urahara has kinda moved away from the rest of the Zeppelis, and Al kinda did the same as Ura. Oh and Tyler is centuries old, so I don't think anyone would know him. Maybe someone for Louis?*
Al walks into the cafe. Viviane would have seen him passing by a few times before, but he was wearing rags and hard a scruffy beard before, oh and he was homeless. He seems to have cleaned himself up. He sits at a table and orders an Ice Water.

*Okay guys, so I think what we should do next in the narrative to get things kicked into high gear is to have all the main protagonists meet (any major location in Marino could work) and have them declare their alliance to try and stop/get to the bottom of the wave of criminal Stand users. This could also lead them to try and get info from Caleb once they trace Al’s fern back to Roots Radical*

*Yeah that works for me narratively speaking. Although we should still be slow about it because this villain is less powerful physically compared to Don and Niverde. More focused on what’s easy and what’s fun rather than anything else.*

Josuno has woken up, though he still seems to be groggy as he stumbles out of the candy shop
Meanwhile…
Anyone who gets the daily news report, be it from the app, the paper, the website or just has the local news on sees the following story “With the increase in crime over the past few months, police presence has increased, but even then, violent crime has spiked in the past few weeks. Most recently, Dorian Sham, owner of Dorian and Sons barber shop has been sadly found dead by strangulation in his home. The house was apparently broken into, as the front windows were broken in. At the scene, various odd metal vine-like objects were found, specifically around Dorian’s corpse, likely the murder weapon in some way. In this saddening event, anyone with any information that could lead to an arrest is encouraged to contact the authorities as soon as possible, and any direct help to their capture will be greatly appreciated, and handsomely rewarded.” They then proceed to give further instructions about the victim, and ways you can help support their family
*This. Or maybe people misunderstood the intent*
