"Yeah! And I was in the middle of something important when the fucker decided to do it!" Jolyne pipes in. She wasn't really keeping track of what they were talking about earlier, but this is something she can talk about.

Cerebella just...kind of remains quiet, looking rather awkward.

At first, nothing.

Then the wind starts to blow hard, rustling everything loose in its path. If Pucci were to look closely, he would see some kind of yellowish tint to the wind - something is definitely off here.

Then someone - or something - darts past him, slipping into the shadows before Pucci can get a good luck at him.

"You know, it's funny - even after centuries worth of slumber, I've found that humans' desires haven't changed much," A voice remarks - masculine, playful, and yet distinctly haughty in tone. "I look into their minds to see their greatest desire, and it's the same as it was in humans hundreds of years earlier: money, power, control, physical beauty, the need to prove themselves as the best in their work, indulging in food...if anything, the only difference I've really found is that the humans of modern times indulge in their desires more."

The voice laughs for a moment, but then falls silent.

''"...but I've never encountered a desire like yours before. This desire to...achieve heaven." ''The voice continues. Pucci may or may not feel something around his feet - if he were to look down, he would see gold tendrils with black stripes coming out of the ground and curling around his legs. "What does it mean, to achieve heaven? Are you seeking enlightenment? Power? Some sense of personal fulfillment? I can't make heads or tails of your desire...and that is oh so interesting."

The tendrils suddenly retract, pulling themselves into the ground as a single flame bursts into existence, illuminating the dark night and revealing the source of the voice - a humanoid with a cat-like face and cat-like features, looking at Pucci with red eyes and a fanged maw twisted into a smile; all the while, his dreadlocks retract to their usual length.

"I do, however, know what you need to do to achieve heaven, or at least what you know about how to achieve it..." The cat Greeed, Kazari remarks. "...and I want to help you, if you'll accept it."

"huh, it is getting pretty late, isn't it?" John looks at the darkness. "man, i didn't think it was that long..."

John shakes his head, unaware that during his brief conversation with Giorno, the man with the green jacket had slipped away and gone elsewhere.

"Yeah, good idea! I'll get some sleep too!" Steven reaches behind him, only to pause as he realizes nothing is there. "...oh. Right. Forgot I didn't have any supplies when we fell through that portal. Guess I'll just sleep in my bubble, then!"

And thus, Steven generates a large pink bubble around himself, and flops back as he tries to get some sleep.

"We'll be on watch duty." Garnet states, adjusting her shades.

Mezool just looks at the card, stares at it, and a few moments after Dlawso is gone, rolls her eyes.

"Who would be stupid enough to try and form an alliance with a complete unknown?" Bit of irony, considering what Mezool's current plan is, but in her mind, there's a difference between partnering with someone and using someone. She's planning on doing the latter to whoever her unfortunate victim happens to be.

There's no way she's partnering with someone she knows absolutely nothing about. If anything, she trusts Dlawso less than she did Kazari, of all people, which is a remarkable feat considering that Kazari literally stabbed her in the back at one point.

'At least with Kazari, I could guess that he'd try to betray me one way or another...' 

Faust is currently walking through the forest, displacing trees with Pinball Wizard to make way for himself.

"Shojo! Casa! Are you here in this crazy place!?" He yells.

Holly, shielded, is following Faust from the sky. She's noticed that when the trees are displaced, the whole tree is displaced, and is in fact completely uprooted when it's put elsewhere. She honestly feels tempted to fly down there, unshield, and lecture this Mud Man about the damage he's doing, but that would break her cover. So, for now, she's just following, growing increasingly irritated at this human's behavior.
