[How did the rings gets there? Why rings? Why any of this? Why in the hell? HOW in the hell?

About two million questions were surely swirling in her mind, and she still continued to look at Joseph seriously. Attentively.

When on any normal day, she would've gotten up and walked away. Feel insulted and humiliated for having someone spew such a story when she was having a hard time confiding with someone. But this wasn't a normal day, wasn't it? She got abducted by aliens and is living here now. This man had his Stand since BEFORE coming here?

Was this the life of a normal Stand user?]

Obviously this ended happily enough to have two divorces.

[She was paying full total attention.]

[Technically the life of a Joestar, technically the life of a Stand user. It's both.]

You'd think so! What did I look like to them, a polygamist?!

[50 YEARS LATER AND HE'S STILL BUTTHURT. He huffs to himself and shakes his head.]

Anyway, point being... it's not the same as what you're going through, but it felt like I was thrown into an entirely different world. I had a month to challenge them, or the rings would dissolve in my body and I would die.

[She went too silent. Sure, she could've made some other snarky remark in response but she soon became too lost in what he said.

Maybe she did have a ring or two inside of her and she didn't know it? Maybe she was already moments away from death in other ways?

What did this all mean then? Obviously, this didn't mean he was belittling her experience. That didn't seem like the mood here. But there was still that feeling of loneliness, and fear.

She looked like she was buried in thought, maybe a bit troubled.]

You lived. You get to tell the tale.

[yankovic]

And so will you.

[Joseph tilts his head, his expression suddenly spreading into a wry grin.]

Hate to break it to you, child, but just you wait. Give it time and you'll be old and wrinkled and telling your own crazy survival stories to the next couple generations.

[Translation: You're going to be just fine.]

[standingonmyneck]

Maybe I'll grow old and optimistic too.

[She...smiled a little though. That was a really sweet thing to say. Daria was going to have to survive. She had to and she wasn't going to let people feel like they needed to PROTECT.

Maybe you'll grow sappy, Daria..]

You can survive two forced marriages and divorces, I can survive a mass abduction I guess.

[yankovic]

[Heheheh.]

I have to say, I'm a little jealous. I've had some pretty bizarre adventures [HAH] but I can't say I've ever been on the moon before. You're going to have to one-up me on that one.

Plus... well. It never hurts to have other people help you get through it. And if anyone... I'll be here for you, alright?

[standingonmyneck]

[She should feel awkward about that, having people watch over her. But the thought of someone being on her side, genuinely. Someone who wanted to help her, genuinely. Daria just sort of...softened.

A snort could be heard and the smile was a little more noticable.]

[yankovic]

[Joseph's grin widens.]

There you go.
