>>6092373You descend the stairs and head to the light and noise past the fancy but dark rooms full of paintings, instruments, and other decorations. Honestly, this place feels really empty in general. You're not sure how many of the AGENTS OF DIO actually visit or live here.
Finally, you reach the dining room. This place, at least, has a window with the curtains pulled back to let some sunshine in. And it has people, whose lively overlapping arguments about contemporary Cold War politics, taking that damn cowboy hat off indoors, and McDonald's all freeze the moment they see you walk in.
Several people are sitting at a large table populated by a few ash trays, as well as plates half-empty with breakfast residue and coffee mugs half-full. You recognize them as Terrence D'Arby, whose long red hair is let down, a still-human Vanilla Ice, Daniel D'Arby (noticeably giving Terrence a wide berth), and Hol Horse. Enya is here, putting something back into the refrigerator, and there's also a short, sharp-eared guy sitting in a shadowy corner you recognize as Kenny G. What an underrated character.
You walk by them in silence, and put your dirty dishes next to the sink. This should be less intimidating than meeting DIO himself, but you feel like you're back in your high school cafeteria looking for a seat.
"Well, howdy, miss!" Of course, Hol Horse speaks first. While Daniel sips at his coffee, Terrence and Enya exchange glances in a mutual dislike of the cowboy. "The name's Hol Horse."
The old lady sighs. "Yes, this is the new one. Itsaso. I was going to introduce her earlier if <span class="mu-i">some of us</span> hadn't wasted the morning debating B.S... These, eh, fine young gentlemen are Mr. Terrence and Daniel D'Arby, this is Vanilla Ice, the one over there is Kenny G., and that's...Hol Horse. Yes. Please, have a chat and all." Enya turns away from them and comes over to you, speaking in a hushed tone. "You know something of them already, right? Just don't let them get to you. Tell me when you've had enough of them and I'll show you around the rest of this place."
Maybe it's because you're a girl, but she seems a bit more protective of you than you thought. Then again, these guys seem like assholes even when they're not out to kill or steal people's souls. You're getting a Mean Girls vibe, and remember the part of the story where they bullied Nukesaku, the short little vampire guy.
Vanilla Ice is muttering something about "the one with foresight" to Terrence, while Daniel scoffs and mumbles about time travel being "bullshit." Terrence picks up a crumb of toast from the tablecloth and flings it into his older brother's coffee. "What a funny name," Hol Horse remarks, hypocritically but without malice. He puts on a practiced grin when he sees you looking at him.
