1 Star Platinum Is In Trouble?!

Star Platinum slams the controller down on the floor, stands up, and poses.

"ORA ORA ORA!! ORA!"

The World glares at it, then turns its head back to the "Game Over!" message on its split-screen. It lost. Again.

"Muda muda muda..."

Star Platinum stares at it, its humanlike eyes narrowing.

"ORA?!?!"

It punches The World right in its golden scuba-mask face. The World grabs its arm and throws it against the ground. Star Platinum gets up and charges.

"ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!!!!"

"MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA!!!!"

The jangling sound of doorknobs can barely be heard over the two Stands' fight. Jotaro and Dio walk into the room, their hair messed up. Dio rubs his eyes and glares at his Stand.

"ZA WARUDO!!"

The gold-coated, battered Stand shoves Star Platinum back and floats towards its user. Dio crosses his arms.

"You're grounded. No video games for a week." The World looks at him apologetically, flicking its head towards Star Platinum.

"Muda muda muda muda muda! Muda muda..."

Dio glares at his Stand, then turns to Jotaro.

"Fine. Jotaro, apparently your Stand started this mess. You have to deal with it. Imma go back to sleep."

He turns back to his Stand.

"No video games for three days. Now c'mon. You need to go to sleep."

The World floats after its user. It shuts the door at the end of the hall with a soft click. Jotaro turns to Star Platinum, who looks like it's trying not to show any emotion. It's doing quite well, as its expression appears almost bored.

"SUTA PARACHINA! Stop beating other Stands up!"

Star Platinum rolls its eyes at Jotaro and crosses its arms.

"Ora ora ora! Ora ora ora ora ora..."

Jotaro clenches his fists. Again? I've already gotten three calls *just this week* about its behavior issues! He sighs defeatedly.

"Suta, if this keeps up, I'm going to have to send you back to Stand therapy."

Star Platinum's eyes widen. It backs up and clenches its fists, and it charges at Jotaro.

"ORA ORA ORA!! ORA! Ora! Ora...! Ora..."

Its punches and swings are only vaguely aimed in its user's direction, so Jotaro dodges easily. Star Platinum falls onto its knees, its eyes closed tightly, its whole body tensed up. That's...not normal. What happened? Jotaro kneels down beside his Stand.

"Hey, what happened?"

He can hear it whispering to itself, its eyes still closed tightly.

"Ora...ora...ora...ora...ora..."

I don't think it heard me.

"Suta?"

"ORA!"

Star Platinum jumps back up into a combat stance, but when it sees that its user is the only one in the room, it relaxes a bit. It shuts its eyes tightly again and shakes its head at the ground.

"Ora ora...ora ora ora ora...ora?"

Jotaro sighs. I knew I shouldn't have brought that up.

"No, I just don't know what to do at this point. I won't send you back there. I promise."

Star Platinum calms down a bit.

Jotaro walks closer to it, but Star Platinum backs away.

"Ora ora!"

"Okay, okay. I'll give you space. You need to go to sleep now, okay?"

"Ora..."

Star Platinum floats to its room and closes the door. Jotaro can still hear it talking to itself softly.
