one ♛ CALL ( video )

[digiorno]

[Of all the things that have happened to Giorno Giovanna in his young life — well. This isn't not weird, but it's also not the weirdest. He's still in his own body and no parts of his face are being sliced off, so honestly it's okay. That, and the fact that he's done a fair amount of recon already, plus the fact that anyone who comes after him is in for a nasty surprise, is what makes him look so aggressively serene when he addresses the network.]

[That, plus he just always looks like the offspring of Michelangelo's collected works and Italian fashion week. If he lays on the accent a little thick, it's probably not for nefarious reasons (but it might be) (at least a little nefarious).]

Ah, buonasera, hello everyone! I'm sure you are all very busy on a Friday night, but I wanted to at least say hello as a new arrival. I'm still trying to get a feel for everything at the moment [this is not true] but so far this place seems very . . .

[Say something Nice.]

Well-organized? [Lord.]

Mm, you can always reach me here, of course; I'm making my way through all of the different parts of the city, so if anyone needs anything, I'm happy to help! And then before I go, I wanted to ask: what are your favorite things about the parts of the city you are in? Or least favorite, I suppose, but let's at least start positively, please.

That sounds nice. Especially in Romance since, yeah, everything looks pretty there. Well, on the app. Still haven't gone.

[ A smile breaks on his face. ]

I'll go and see Romance next time I'm here. Promise. And Laughter. Did you see there's an amusement park?

[digiorno]

I did see there's an amusement park. I didn't go, though.

[A beat. He quirks his lip.]

I've never actually been to one.

[american_alien]

We should go!

[ He considers it for a moment before- ]

This weekend, sometime. My treat, since it's your first time.

It's kind of my first time too, but I've been to the county fair often enough, it probably counts.

[digiorno]

Oh. You don't have to . . .

[But like . . . don't feel obligated not to? This is kind of cool, in a weird way.]

[american_alien]

Course I don't have to. But you shouldn't have to pay for the first time. It's a treat!

[digiorno]

. . . See, I told you. You're really sweet.

[american_alien]

[ He couldn't help a bit of a blush. ]

It's not sweet. It's how you do things the right way. You invite someone to something like that, you cover them.

[digiorno]

Oh, see, but all of my friends are very rude. So it's sweet to me.

[Just admit that you are a cutie? Come on.]

[american_alien]

Then clearly you need to go out and have some fun.

[digiorno]

Probably you're right. But you'll have to show me what one does at an amusement park, I think, I wouldn't know where to start.

[american_alien]

I'll show you.

It'll be awesome.

{ He is so very clearly excited about this. }

Maybe this weekend? If you're not busy...

[digiorno]

Even if I was, I'd reschedule.

[This is not all the way true, but mostly. Enthusiasm is contagious.]

[american_alien]

I'll make sure I'm not. I've only got a few chores at the moment. Nothing I can't get done early.

[digiorno]

As long as you don't cut any corners.

[This in a mock-stern tone, eyebrows raised.]

What would your mother say?

[american_alien]

Oh, you don't want to hear THAT list...
