It was a hot day in Venice, Clouds covering some of the sky and the breeze was warm. There upon the balcony stood the man himself, Joseph Joestar. Beside him was his best friend back in New York, Smokey Brown. Both were talking about wanting to start a vlogging channel and do ghost hunting shit. Joseph talked about how cool it would be to talk to actual ghosts and other spirits that they couldnt see, Whilst Smokey was talking about it being dangerous and Joseph could end up being possessed. Also due to his stupidity. 

"Look! If we could do this just for one day, ONE DAY! Who knows what we could find! We could probably find the most haunted place and become famous for it!" Joseph exclaimed, He knew that if he did fuck up, it wouldn't turn out good for either of them. Smokey sighed when he heard his excuse. "Who knows?! We will! But once we do, it could attach to us! We need to be careful Joseph. If your mom even knew about you having a ghost up your ass, Your dead!" Smokey was not gonna deal with Joseph's excuses. He was too young for this. Joseph looked at the city around them, thinking hard if taking a risk would be safe or not. He finally looked back at Smokey, smirking his usual smirk, as if his face was saying "I have the stupidest idea on planet Earth". 

"Smokey, my pal, bud, best friend forEVER! If I wasn't careful, i know it would be all my fault and you could put the blame on me and I wouldn't complain. Soooo ... If we went to this one place in Switzerland, that isn't that haunted, would you go with meeee?" Joseph looked at him as if he had pleading. Smokey cocked a brow, "What place? You better not be lying to me and it being the most haunted place on Earth!" He crossed his arms after his sentence. Joseph put his hands up in surrender. "I swear on my own bloodline, i would NEVER! EVER! Lie to you." Joseph said proudly. Smokey sighed and looked at the ground before looking back up at him. 

"Where are we getting the supplies?"

———————————————————————————

Days and even weeks passed and soon enough, they finally had everything they needed to go to the place in Switzerland. Joseph was grinning widely at all the stuff they had gotten. Smokey was pretty proud as well but also knew it could be a pretty dangerous and silly situation due to Joseph's stupidness. "You knowww, maybe we could even find a ghost that can like, yknow, haunt other peoplee?" Joseph said when they arrived at the airport. Smokey glanced at him concerned. "Joseph we have to be careful, i get that your excited but we have to make sure that us, WE, are gonna be safe." Joseph nodded, soon dragging the bags and suitcases to their plane and getting in. The trip to Switzerland was at least 7 hours away. So they made sure to keep in mind that they should get good rest to be ready for the trip. Soon enough, they arrive late at night at a hotel to sleep in. Joseph puts his stuff on one bed and Smokey on the other. "Hey, I'm gonna take a shower so you're gonna have to wait." Smokey says, Joseph nodded and plopped down without care on the bed. Smokey rolled his eyes and walked into the bathroom, locking it behind him. Now Joseph was just there in silence, listening to the calmness of the shower water and the tv on a low volume. To be honest, he was a bit nervous too. Hes never done stuff like this but whatever it may be he just might have to be cautious. A couple 10 to 20 minutes later Smokey comes out with a towel wrapped around him.

"Sooo? Was the shower hot at all?" Joseph asked, hoping that Smokey at least saved some hot water for him. But knowing him he probably did.
"Actually yes, a bit hotter than the ones back in New York. But also i would be careful on what shampoo and conditioner you use first. Their in German and Italian i think..." Ah yeah. They're in Switzerland so the language is a lot different from theirs. Joseph laughed and sat up.
"Ive learned a language or two! I bet it'll be easy!" He rushed to the bathroom to take a shower, but also to see if he actually knew what the difference between shampoo and conditioner was. He stared at the bottles for a few seconds and decided to finally be smart about something. He was going to see which one foamed more. So he put a drop of one bottles liquid in his hand and started to scrub his hands together. Sure enough, it foamed. But when he tried the other one, it also foamed.

"Shiiiitttt....." He groaned, well, its a 50/50 chance he'll get it right. But then again, he didn't care. As long as he washed his hair he should be fine right? So thats what he did. He went into the hot shower and let the steam arrise from the top of the shower walls. He let the hot water drain on his body and by god did it feel great. Joseph sighed and just stood there for a while, enjoying the nice warmth of the shower water. He then started to take a risk and wash his hair with whichever shampoo or conditioner. About 30 minutes later he got out and finally smelled good. Mainly he always smelled like musk and tires, now he smells like the streets of Switzerland. A sort of...lime-y smell?

Joseph walked out with soaking wet hair and not even caring about the water dripping on the floor.
"Jojo! What the hell?!" Smokey exclaimed, He stared at him in utter dissappointment, knowing that Joseph didn't care whatsoever. He just simply walked to his bed, that was flooded with his luggage, and plopped right onto it. Splashing a bit of water everywhere. Smokey was overly upset about it and stood there until Joseph answered him.

"I'm..not..doing...anything." Joseph replied, all of it being mumbled since his face was buried into the bed. Smokey sighed and sat down on his own bed. "Its really weird how your mom hasn't punished you yet, for like, manners and stuff." He said. Joseph sat up and looked tired and upset at the same time. He really wanted to go to the mansion now, instead of having to wait hours and hours to at least get there.

He turned over and stared at the ceiling, wondering what exactly would happen once they did get there, maybe they would get possessed, that would be fun? Smokey shook his head again and laid back. “Well get dressed and turn the light off after.. Im tired..” He mumbled, pulling the covers over himself. Joseph sighed, getting up and getting dressed in simple pajamas. Turning the light off and simply plopping down back in the bed… hearing the spring break..Joseph’s eyes shot open and he covered his face in embarrassment. Smokey sat up quickly and looked at him shocked. “Jojo seriously!?!” He snapped, Joseph wheezed, finding it funny how he was so pouty to the point he broke the springs of his bed.

Joseph and Smokey eventually both fell asleep, Joseph snoring loudly while Smokey shuffled in his bed a bit. Joseph was more of a loud sleeper and Smokey more of a moving sleeper. Eventually the next day rolled around and somehow Joseph was found on the ground. Smokey woke up a bit earlier than him, sitting up and stretching as he looked to his left, not seeing Joseph anywhere.

“..Jojo?-“ He blinked, Standing up and looking around until he heard a loud snore. He jumped and walked to the other side of Joseph’s bed, seeing him drooling on the floor. Smokey squinted at him, moving towards him and shaking him awake with his foot. “Jojo wake up you fell off your bed..” He sighed, Joseph groaned and rubbed his eyes, blinking and making eye contact with him. “Why are you so much taller than me…”

He mumbled, looking around him. He realized he fell off and didn’t know. Joseph felt slightly embarrassed as he sat up and wiped the drool from the side of his mouth. “Soooo uhhhh… We don’t talk about that. What we will talk about!- Is we get to go todayyy!!” He grinned, his ruffled hair covering his face a bit. Smokey sighed and smiled, nodding and heading towards the balcony…
