Dorm Lawn, Wednesday Afternoon

[crack_that_whip]

So, there were some homicidal clowns out and about on the island today. Which was infinitely better than being hugged by a goddamn rug, so Trevor was more than willing to get on board the clown fighting train.

He'd found a decent spot to keep an eye out over the area and gotten his whip ready for a decent fight as one loomed on the horizon.

And waited. And waited a little more.

"Christ, you've got to be kidding me," he grumbled as the clown very slowly made it's way toward him.

[So very open!]

"How much closer?" Trevor asked, almost feeling bad for the clown. Almost.

[handystand]

Okuyasu thought about that. "Usually they end up next to me," he said. "Though it might be a little too far away."

The Hand didn't have that much reach.

"And if I miss I might get the bush."

[crack_that_whip]

Trevor considered that. "You move the bush, I can hit the clown."

Possibly why the clown was lurking behind that bush, guys. That poor, innocent, murder happy clown.

[handystand]

"It might not move, though," Okuyasu said. And yet, he tried. He swiped with the hand, and got a blast of moving air, but... nope, not enough to even do anything other than rustle the leaves on the bush.

"...Maybe we should just walk over there," he said. "It doesn't look that dangerous anyway. And we can kill it and not feel bad, right?"

[crack_that_whip]

"Trust me, I won't feel bad about it," Trevor assured him, sighing as he pulled his whip free. "Lets go."

[handystand]

"...wait what are you going to do with a whip," Okuyasu said, pointing at it. "Are you a lion tamer?"

He looked around. "Are you part of some weird evil circus in town?"

[crack_that_whip]

"Do you see any fucking lions?" Don't knock the whip! It was an ancestral weapon that made perfect sense not at all.

[handystand]

"They might be behind the bushes," Okuyasu said, completely deadpan because he absolutely believed that was possible.

[crack_that_whip]

"...with the clowns?" Trevor replied. "Lions with the clowns?"

The clowns were feeling emboldened by this distraction, once more slooowly moving toward them.

[handystand]

"Well they're both circus animals," Okuyasu said. "So it'd make sense for them to be together."

"...but I don't see any now so probably no lions. So I'm not sure what the whip is for."

A whip wasn't a weapon, surely. Nevermind the fact that Okuyasu was now completely ignoring whatever the clowns were actually doing. Because the whip, that was the weird thing here.

[crack_that_whip]

Clowns were people, Okuyasu! Barely, but still.

Trevor sighed, looking up to the heavens like he was asking for patience here. He flicked his wrist to uncoil the whip, doing some very improbably anime bullshit style moves to hit the closest clown. Which exploded into nothing.

"Alright, they're like vampires."

[handystand]

"...But the sun is still out," Okuyasu said, before swiping away the top of one of the clowns with The Hand. Thankfully the fact that they disappeared after a moment meant neither he or Trevor had to deal with seeing bisected clown viscera for very long.

Of course, this did mean it looked like Okuyasu had just removed the clown from existence with a swipe of his own hand.

"So they can't be vampires."

[crack_that_whip]

But the gore was what made it edgy.

"Tell me more about vampires," Trevor said with bland disinterest.

[handystand]

"I don't know much about them other than Jotaro fought one once," Okuyasu said with a shrug. "And what's in movies. So garlic and no sun and that sort of thing. I don't like scary movies unless someone else is there with me, though. It can be a lot."

Okuyasu didn't have much of a filter.

[crack_that_whip]

"They're not real, you know," Trevor said, giving him another deeply judgmental look. "The movies."

Not the vampires. Those remained super real.

[handystand]

"Oi! I'm not so dumb to think movies are real," Okuyasu said, all huffy. "But I thought the sunlight thing was real. I'm not the vampire expert. We didn't have to deal with them because Jotaro killed the last one."

[crack_that_whip]

"Sunlight's a thing," Trevor confirmed, still smirking at the movie thing. Because he was a jerk like that. "Garlic... ish. Salt's better."

[handystand]

"...does hot sauce work?" Okuyasu asked. "Wasabi?"

Hey, it sounded a little like vampires didn't like spicy food.

[crack_that_whip]

"What?" Seriously now. What?

[handystand]

"Well what is is about garlic and salt that's so good that wasabi and hot sauce isn't the same thing?" Okuyasu said, thinking he was completely reasonable.

[crack_that_whip]

"How about you try those two next time there's a vampire around," Trevor suggested. Yes, Okuyasu. Try that shit on Eric. Make Trevor's day.

[handystand]

"I mean, I don't need that stuff, I can just..." he waved his hand without doing the gesture. "You know. Erase them. Assuming they can't stop time."

[crack_that_whip]

"Of course." Trevor believed none of that.

[handystand]

Okuyasu just smiled proudly.

"I'm pretty good, yeah."

A pause.

"...so why a whip?"

[crack_that_whip]

"Works, doesn't it?" Because his faaaamily. And emooootions.
