Oh, thank you! How did you know that the purpley kind was my favorite?
[She gave a giggle before taking the bottle and having a sip! But if Giorno was suppose to go to the ViViD in the middle of the whole robot craze, that definitely raised a few questions.
But until then, she better spill the beans on her friend!]
Well, after those robots went all crazy, there was this weird robotic hand of doom that randomly kidnapped people! I don't know where but let me tell you! I definitely do not want to experience my brother randomly disappearing on me again!
[All the while making random hand gestures to prove her point!]
[ An educated guess, given how Mabel dressed and how she behaved. Plus, between the two of them "grape" wasn't exactly a favorite flavor. Fugo obviously enjoyed strawberry (or maybe not so obviously), and Giorno favored whatever was the sweetest.
Though as Mabel explains the stuff that happened that Fugo didn't cover—a robot hand kidnapping people might have been something worth mentioning Fugo—Giorno only grimaces for a moment before he catches something else that's also important. ]
I'm sorry if this is unrelated to what you're telling me [ Because, well, there is only so much he can do about it now ] but you have a brother? I didn't realize.
Don't worry about it, I don't think a lot of people knew anyway!
[She said before waving her hands in front of her!] I mean, the only way you can tell is if you saw Dipper anyway! He's just like me except with boy hair and where he's all awkward and sweaty!
[Not to mention that she definitely didn't want to be in his body again, thank you! Despite her shutter, there was moment of silence coming from her. As she stared down at the drink, there was a considerable pause coming from the hyperactive teen] But...at least the important thing now with that he's safe and back again! And that he doesn't have to deal with those stupid robots anymore!
[Even if the smile on her face didn't quite match how she was feeling]
[ Giorno doesn't know much about siblings but he could tell that from how she described him, they were close. Given his own experiences, if he were to describe his family, he'd be far more brief and probably have less things to say. Without a doubt.
And as Mabel pauses, he remains quite and instead just slowly processes the rest of what was said between what she actually said in words. Her brother disappeared, the not-so-typical Cerealia madness kicked in, he also disappeared—perhaps there were others things that happened to those who were close to her too?
... ]
It must have been hard on you, Mabel. [ To put things lightly. ] I'm glad as well that things are no longer as they were for you.
[She couldn't deny that it definitely had been hard for her. Ever since she found out her brother died twice here, she made sure she would protect him no matter what. Although, the moment that he disappeared and came right back? She wasn't sure just how much more she could take it.
Try as she might, it was getting all more difficult for her to smile each day. Not she didn't want to talk about it but how could she when everyone just had their own problems here?]
Y-Yeah, well, it's fine! I mean, it's kind of like a order of the day thing when you live here! It's just expected when you live here for quite sometime.
You don't have to put up a strong face for me. Crying isn't a sign of weakness.
[ A little on the "out of the blue" aspect, but the way her smile cracks Giorno can see right through it all. He can't understand her pain—because he doesn't know it yet—but it doesn't mean he doesn't want to. Giorno might not consider her as close to him as she might think otherwise, but it didn't mean that he was going to turn a blind eye to this.
Mabel, who had been nothing but a delight, was suffering far more than he ever knew. It was impressive in a way that she could come off so carefree when it was the opposite... ]
[For a moment, Mabel just blinked at the blond boy before her. Was it that obvious that she was trying her best to remain optimistic in a place like this? While she was never one to hide her emotions, it definitely felt like she didn't have a choice here.
Before she could say anything, that's when she felt water coming out of her eyes. It took her a few seconds to realize what was going on before she gave a chuckle]
W-Who said that it was? Crying is always a g-good way to make yourself feel happy too!
[ There we go. It hadn't been obvious to others, maybe, but Giorno is also rather keen on these sort of things. ]
Yes, it certainly is. [ Giorno says calmly and slowly. He doesn't want to draw anymore attention to her tears and all of the emotions that she was holding back more than he already had. It isn't satisfying to watch her cry but...just how long had these tears been held back?
He looks around the room to find her some tissues but doesn't see anything that really works. They're teenage boys... As if they really had that kind of stuff easily accessible. ]
[As Mabel kept on sniffling, she decided that it would be best if she used her sweater. Sure, it wasn't the best idea but when Giorno was having trouble finding some tissues, this seemed like the better option!
That and her crying just wouldn't stop. She really didn't know why but no matter how hard she tried, it just kept coming. Although, the scariest part? For some odd reason, despite her crying, she still kept on smiling]
H-Hey, Giorno, don't worry about it! I still g-got my trusty sweater so everything's going to be a-okay!
[ Sorry, but the Italian and well-mannered boy in him can't let a girl just use her clothes as a snot rag. So instead he'll disappear momentarily to grab some things from the bathroom as well as his bedroom.
When he returns he'll hold out a small face towel for Mabel to take. ]
This is all we have, I'm sorry.
[ Boys... But towels were definitely better than watching Mabel use her sweater as a tissue. And as she keeps crying, Giorno uses the other thing he picked up, the sweater that she had made for him and holds it out in front of him. He still believes that she should cry as much as she wants, that was the whole purpose of this all, but how she kept smiling was...troubling. ]
I believe I promised you I'd turn this into ladybugs for you. Would you like to still see it?
[It was funny. After what she been through in Gravity Falls, the only thing she could do was just keep on smiling if anything bad should ever happen to her. When life got her down, it was the only thing she could do. Just smile and keep hoping for the best.
But it was just difficult knowing that she could eventually have to come to terms with everything.
Until then though? When Giorno came back with a towel, she couldn't help but giggle]
You know, you're a real gentlemen. If you ever had a girlfriend, I'm sure she would be super lucky to have you! [As she kept on sniffling, she also noticed him bringing out the sweater she made for him. While she wasn't surprised to see it, it was a little shocked to see that he remembered his promise to her! And that's why her eyes immediately widen before giving a quick nod!
Of course she wanted to see it! She wanted to see it now!!]
[ He'll give her a small smile; surely it would be difficult to have any sort of romantic relationship with the kind of work that he does but the sentiment is not wasted on him.
Though when she brightens up at his suggestion, Giorno wastes no time and has Gold Experience's hands come over his and touch the sweater. And while he could easily transform the entire time at once, he decides on playing it up for her. Just this one time would be fine.
So, slowly and starting with the right sleeve, the sweater starts to fall away and instead groups of ladybugs take their place—immediately taking flight and landing on various parts of the room. He keeps up transforming parts of the sweater at a time but instead decides to change things up and turn them into other various things you might find in a garden.
Vines that sprout flowers of various colors, butterflies unwinding from the knit around the neckline, and ultimately ending with the last bit of the sweater forming a small song bird that flutters away from Giorno's hand and lands near where Mabel sits. And while normally this isn't what Giorno would use his or has used his Stand for—it was beautiful.
[The more that Mabel saw what was going on, the more she couldn't help but wonder exactly what kind of person he was. She had seen plenty of strange and mysterious things in Gravity Falls but it was completely different when somebody was making ladybugs and vines pop out of nowhere just from a simple sweater!]
Whoa, how did you even do that?! I mean, I figured you must have some kind of superpower or something but not like that! It's like you're some kind of extra omega superhero gardner here!
[Because how else could he be able to do all of that?! But the more flowers and butterflies she saw, she couldn't help but giggle. In that moment, it felt like whatever sadness she felt just seemed to disappear.
She didn't know what was going on but she wasn't complaining. Especially when that song bird just landed next to her!]
Seriously, just what kind of power is that anyway?
[Not to mention that he could probably just randomly pop a flower garden anywhere he wants! She wished that she could do that so she can make millions of flower crowns for everyone here!]
[ Mabel no, don't call Giorno a superhero. He's not a superhero but at the same time he's...not going to protest or even say much against it. If that's what she wants to think of him, he would accept it for now. Well, she was at least calling him a "superhero gardener" and that wasn't quite the same as a superhero like what you'd read in comics.
Regardless, he's happy to see that she's honestly cheered up from the grand display and Giorno wills the bird to hop closer to Mabel if she wants to pet it. It's will is completely controlled by Giorno's so it won't be flying away. In fact, all of the life that he created is just going to slowly surround them in a semi-circle with Giorno as the make-shift center. ]
It's a power that gives me the ability to "give life" to whatever I touch. I gave life to the sweater made me and now you see everything before you.
[ He wills Gold Experience next to him to see if she can see it, but given how she was entranced with everything else, the possibility of her seeing it was probably low. Most people would have mentioned seeing it by now if they could. ]
[Too bad, Giorno. No matter what, she was going to call him a superhero even if he didn't like it! After all, what else was she going to call him? Everyone around her seemed to be some kind of awesome power for why wouldn't it be any different?
But with the bird getting near her, she giggled it once more before attempting to pet it. It was kind of nice, she never gotten this close to a bird before! In fact, she sure felt like a princess with all these animals and flowers surrounding them at the moment!]
So what? Does this mean you're a Superhero God too? Don't think I ever met somebody with a power like yours before though! I mean, who knows what else you could do with that!
[She shouted before looking up at the semicircle around them. Sorry, Giorno, it looks like she didn't even notice or even see his Stand at all]
