Nobody listened to me when I said I’d run into issues in Italy. We always tended to underestimate the bad guys, especially the ones in groups because that was so rare. Well, it turns out that on a routine Slayer-finding assignment, I didn’t manage to get to her before Wolfram & Hart. I’m pretty sure that they recruited her and didn’t just kill her, but it’s hard to tell, really.
Anyway, they were going to deal with me. And despite the whole supervillain and evil sorcerer trying to take over the world thing, I wasn’t actually all that great with my powers. I’ve gotten better since then, but I’m pretty much the classic D&D wizard and can’t do much without studying, so battle isn’t exactly the place I should be.
And then this guy runs out from the building a pulls out a pistol. I wasn’t actually sure who he was trying to hit, at first. I’ve managed to make some enemies, although I suppose some of them are better at setting aside their grudges than others. He shoots at me, and here I am thinking that it’s the end and it’s kind of poetic, really, and I should really tell Jonathan that I’m sorry and an idiot, when the bullets just kind of swerve around me.
The guy behind me falls, and I turn to look, and am thinking that he’s some kind of awesome telekinetic or something, and then I turn back and start to thank him profusely, forgetting that he probably doesn’t have a clue what I’m saying because it’s English, not Italian. And then he looks at me and just says, “Don’t thank me. I’ve been looking for an excuse to shoot one of those guys for a while.” It’s a really heavy accent, but it’s actually English.
And then the hard look gets a little amused, and he says, “I’d leave, tourist” and I take off running.
Apparently they call me Coniglio, now. A little insulting (you know, after I looked it up), but still. Now I can actually tell the Council and they’ll believe me.
Also, apparently it was a Stand. That I still can’t see. I’m working on that, though. Using powers responsibly, for the good of everyone. If I had an Uncle Ben, I hope he’d be proud.
So, if you want to read the actual notes on the Stand, that’s cool, I guess. I don’t have that much to add, honestly. Mostly just the little story above, but I guess it's a good indication of how things are going in Italy.
Andrew’s Notes on Sex Pistols
Stand User: Guido Mista
Appearance: Dunno. Haven’t been able to see any yet. Working on it, because if there are gonna be more Stand Users actually trying to kill us, it might help to be able to see them so we can maybe fight them? Or avoid them somehow?
Main Power: Actually kind of like telekinesis, only it just works with the bullets in his revolver. Mista’s still scary enough I wouldn’t mess with him.
This says something about being an assassination style Stand, which is a common theme in the Passione (that’s the Mafia’s name for the Mafia). Let’s hope we stay on their good side, for all our sakes. (That’s if Mista has a good side. It’s honestly hard to tell. Seems like he’s loyal to the big bad Mafia boss, though, so mostly we just gotta keep Giovanna happy.)
