There's the first dud. You probably won't get so lucky next time you refuse to answer a question like that. Or if you lie, for that matter.
Question six, what's your name?
You really think I'd believe that someone named you after a Jojo character? Yeah right.
Dammit. Well, there's no way you'd get three duds in a row, so you better start truthin'. Question 7, do you personally know anyone involved with the Mafia Mets?
One of those Sniper Guiseppes or whatever had to have told you about those guys somewhere down the line. What, are you trying to mix Connect Four into our game of Russian Roulette? How would that even work, would you pull the trigger once each turn, but lose a turn every time you get shot?
Ugh, question 8, are you trying to get your hands on a powerful artifact of some kind?
Another lie, huh? You know what THAT means!
...You know, I just had the absoulte craziest, most bats
off-the-walls insane idea ppop into my head. Question 11...
Do you know anyone besides yourself named Dio?
Wrong answer.
Question 12, if this second "Diego" were to inhabit a robot body, what do you think it'd look like?
How did you even find blueprints in a future hellscape?
...Crescendo makes a good point, actually. There's a reason why we retreated from that future without any actual progress.
So, S-Man, who're we up against?
...nobody, actually. You see, the rest of the team found a realm with someone who specialized in teaching magic.
Since, again, our nature doesn't allow magic to come to us easily*, we needed to find ourselves a different way to improve the skills we have.
So I contacted two brothers who specialize in techniques we can learn in their place. Normally they're interested in higher-profile figures and close sibling duos, but with the oncoming threat, they made an exception...
General Starshade! Sir! I have confirmed the presence of eighteen - no, nineteen unique figures!
Hmm! Yes! Sighting confirmed! Our clients, right on schedule!
They're more important than they look, I swear.
