[ There was this moment of thought on camera, opening his mouth and then shutting it again before letting out a sigh. Running his hand through his hair he finally settles on where to start. ]

Hi, I’m Johnny Joestar.

Now that introductions are out of the way, I’ve been thinking this for a while, but what year is it exactly?

Aside from the question that was nagging at me, I would like to offer my services in what I do best and that’s horse riding. If anyone is interested I could instruct you in riding or even racing on a horse. If we can use some domesticated horses that would be good, but I could also tame wild horses for this purpose.

I also offer lessons in horse taming as well.

Anyway, thank you for your time.

[The information is summarized easily by this guy, but Caesar is thrown by every single word. Unfamiliar names, unfamiliar family-his namesake taken by another in the past during a time when he knows his Grandfather would have been alive. He would've known about a Gyro Zeppeli in America. Would've known about a Gregorio Zeppeli that would've been his uncle? Great Grandfather? He can't parse together the timeline with the minimal information before him.

But it's too uncommon to be a lie-too close to home to be a coincidence.

Executioners and doctors-that wasn't brought up once when his dad carved out pieces of furniture from slabs of wood.]

My family never spoke of him despite our shared namesake. I'm Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli-son of Mario and grandson to Will. I have four siblings of my own.

[The parallels are-

Bizarre. The potential for multiple realities with multiple Zeppelis and Joestars-

It's irritating. They can't be from the same Earth. No way. But it's still a tease to get a glimpse of a family he never knew existed and it's not even his, but-

They're still family.]

Interesting that our families fates are intertwined no matter what world we're born in.

There was a man back at home that had an ability to access alternate worlds that were similar, but a little different. That and someone else here talking about that seems like a thing.

I can’t say I fully understand, but I’ve seen people pulled through these alternate worlds firsthand so I’m not gonna knock it.

From the sounds of it though, I believe you’re right that we seem intertwined in some way. Although in my case it was probably my persistence brought on by a chance encounter.

Gyro gave me hope when I had none, and had taught me so much. He may have been the only real friend I had ever had, and if that’s the kind of trait you have in common I could see why our fates come together so often.

Is that so?

[There's a sense of familial pride towards this rando he doesn't know-another loyal, noble man honoring their lineage, even in another world.]

I can't speak for the Joestar I knew, though I doubt a kind word about me would pass through his lips willingly. He's a fool through and through.

[There's a fondness in his voice that doesn't match the bite in his words.]

Gyro sounds like a good man. You're lucky to have him.

[sundayshoes]

I was very fortunate to have him.

[ There was that very obvious hesitation on his side, a long pause before his voice got a little quieter. ]

... I was just getting ready to return him and his horse back to his family personally. I know it’s what he would have wanted.

[casaposa]

[Oh.

The other unfortunate trend of Zeppelis is to perish young and it sounds like Gyro followed the same path, if the guy's hesitation and implication mean what he thinks.]

What happened to him?

[sundayshoes]

It's going to sound weird, but it was the President.

[ That's a great way to lead this Johnny, but there was an audible sigh. ]

During the race something more important to him came up, and that was the saint corpse. Everyone wanted it, myself included, but he wanted to protect it.

[casaposa]

[Those are a whole lot of words that mean nothing with the context Caesar has-the president of what? The saint corpse-an actual body? He can only compare it to the red stone of Aja and even that seems like a stretch.]

If he died protecting something important to him and his lineage, then it was a sacrifice worth making.
