Once they arrived at Jotaro's home, and a bit after they had the tense moment of removing the flesh bud from Kakyoin, Alice was sipping on some warm tea to help her aching throat as she was questioned by Joseph and Avdol respectively. "Pardon the request, miss. . . .?", Avdol inquired of her. Alice spoke up, sounding a bit groggy still as her throat was still a bit sore, "M-HRMPH-My name is Alice. . . . . .Alice Nightengale. . . .". Avdol then asked, "Again, pardon the request, but can you move your bangs? We just want to make sure you aren't an ally of Dio". Alice looked a bit confused at this and moved her bangs, showing off the fact she lacked a flesh bud. She asked them as her bangs fell back into place, "I'm sorry, but, who is Dio? and what is up with the spirits? I thought I was the only one to be possessed by one. . . .". They then explained to her about stands and got her caught up with everything./p
p style="text-align: center;""Wait, so what your saying is that the spirit is called a 'stand' and they are manifestations of one's fighting spirit? So, what does mine represent?", Alice asked as her stand manifested behind her. It was more humanoid, yet it had the distinct features of a feral feline. It's amber-yellow eyes watched them intently as its tail swayed with some curiosity to it. Avdol shuffled through some tarot cards, but as he did a bit of amber dropped from his bag, catching the stand's attention. Alice noticed as well as she said, "Amber. . . . . .wait, do they have a set name for our stand?". Avdol stopped, looking at her with a bit of surprise, "Well. . . . .yes and no. . . .Take a card, if you'd plea-", but before either could react, the stand moved and snatched up the amber stone and held it between it's amber-colored claws as it looked over the stone with an intense curiosity. Alice looked confused at the stand a moment as she said offhandedly, "Amber. . . . .claw?". Her stand looked at her, as if its name was called and Alice said, "Huh. . . I think I'll call it 'Amber Claw' for now". Joseph spoke up, "How long ago did your stand manifest?". Alice's smile dropped and the stand looked irritated a moment before she spoke up, "Well. . . . . its been a few years now. . . .but it was shortly, if not right after the murder of my older brother. . . . .My parents passed away when I was very young in a car accident and my older brother did what he had to raise us both. . . . but. . . one day. . . . he didn't come home on time. He would always come home on time, so I was worried. I rushed out of the house and followed the way he normally takes to go to and from work everyday, but when I found him. . . . .he. . . . ", tears came to Alice's eyes, but she continued, "He was dead. The only clue I have is a puddle as nearby and it hadn't rained that day. Everything about his death pointed to murder, but no one could explain it, so they left the case open. In my grieving and rage-struck stage, my stand manifested and I was fearful of it at first, but I've gotten to control it more-", the amber stone in between her stand's claws shattered and it let out of a soft growl, it's pupils now slits as Alice looked a bit sheepishly as she corrected herself, "Well, um, MOSTLY gotten it under control. It reacts to my feelings and such, but I've been able to suppress it's reactions if the situation grants it". Alice reached out and petted the stand's head, calming it and the stand reformed the amber stone, but it reformed a bit larger now. Both Avdol and Joseph noted the oddity of how this girl interacted with her stand and let her explain as much as she knew about it. Once it was late enough, Alice was going to head home when she was stopped by Holly. Being somewhat indebted to this kind woman and secretly loving her doting, motherly nature, Alice agreed to spend the night. Preparations were made and she thanked Holly repeatively as Holly gushed and made sweet remarks about how polite Alice was and nice things like that, making her feel not only at ease, but at home as well. Once Alice settled in, she was left to her thoughts and it was a few hours later until she drifted off into sleep. However, upon dreaming, she saw a flash of silver, a string of red, and the soft light of amber glistening in the moonlight. She tried to focus on what her dream was trying to tell her when she awoke with a start to shouting. She threw open the sliding door and bolted out of the bedroom she was in before reaching where the commotion was coming from. Joseph was shouting about his poor Holly and Alice saw a stand trying to form from her. Once everyone calmed down from the original panic, it was decided they all would join up together to go and destroy Dio, thus saving Jotaro's mother. It was a long trip and they decided to stop at a restraunt to eat. Alice, tired and a bit famished, heartily agreed. She perked up, feeling an oddly-familiar energy when she saw a man with an oddly tall/strange silver hair approach the group and ask about help reading the menu. The strange man in question was invited to join them and he sat down next to Alice. He noticed her staring at him with an intense-but-curious look as he said with a cheeky smirk, "My my, mademoiselle, is my charm that strong?~". Alice then suddenly looked annoyed at him before tearing her eyes away from him and to the absolute oddities Joseph had ordered them. Upon spotting the fish dish placed before her, her hesitation to eat disappeared quickly and she happily tore into it. She only stopped when the man mentioned something about a star and she sensed the sudden tension in the group. She quickly got up once the fight broke out and had her stand manifest as his did. They moved the fight from the resteraunt to what looked like a park as she and Avdol tag-teamed fighting Polnareff. The clashing of amber and silver, reflecting in the light, reminded Alice of her dream, leaving herself open only a moment to attack. Polnareff, oddly enough, did not go for the kill as he tripped her up and his stand held hers up by its tail as he said with the same, cheeky smirk he had flashed her once before, "mademoiselle, you should focus on the fight, not on your wistful thoughts of Moi~".Avdol stepped in, saving her as she was pushed back from the fight. She panicked when Avdol set Polnereff on fire, but was relieved when he put him out. She rushed to Polnereff quickly and plucked the flesh bud out of Polnareff's head before checking his vitals. He was alright, a bit worn out from the fight, but she felt the tension she did not know she was holding disperse from her body. Perhaps it was the silver hair, or the dream, but something in her made herself hold back against him. That touching moment was soon ruined by him trying to touch the small of her back and say a cheesy pick up line, however with her short stature and how big his hand was, he underestimated where her lower back was and ended up touching her rear. This promptly earned him a smack to the face and a minor attack from Alice's stand-which was quickly thwarted by the rest of the group as they interveined to save the poor French goof from her wrath.
This made Alice less trusting of Polnareff and from that point on, they would bicker whenever one or the other made a tiny mistake. Though she took a bit of pity on him over his goal being so similar to her own, but her patience was tested regularly whenever he tried to get overly chummy with her or get too prideful and boast or flirt with other girls. This would prompt everyone to try to keep them as separate as possible on the journey, but at one point, they had to double up on rooms. Alice was NOT happy being stuck with Polnareff as she stated with some irritation in her voice, "I am going to be taking a shower. Keep your mind out of the gutter, away from the bathroom door, and if you so much as THINK of peeping in on me, I swear I will turn your "Eiffel tower", as you've so proclaimed to have in your pants, into the LEANING tower, do you understand me?!" and grabbed her necessary things. He scoffed, "Tch, as if I would want to, with that sort of sour temper you have! Besides, doing so would be dishonorable, and I, mademoiselle, am not a dishonorable man!". She gave a huff and headed off to the bathroom, a few minutes later the shower was running when Polnareff was attacked by the Red Devil.
-WARNING: VIOLENCE AND LUDE THEME AHEAD, SKIP IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO READ THIS PART-
She was humming away and that, paired with the rushing of the water past her ears, did not hear Polnareff fighting the stand. Just as it fell relatively quiet, she finished up her shower. She called out to Polnareff, and upon hearing no response, she stepped out in her towel to see the room is disarray. "Jesus CHRIST, Polnareff, what the hell did you-", but faster then she could react, she felt a stinging pain in her ankle and promptly went to the floor. "Hehehe, so are you some bitch this idiot was gonna fuck or maybe your a stand user yourself?~", she heard the lude remark from a wooden doll who was now standing on her stomach. Her eyes widen in shock as she felt the knife it had used to stab her ankle with now pressed at her neck. She glared at it and said with a snarl to her voice, "As if I'd do such an act with that good damn idiot of a French man! Speaking of, where the hell is he?!". The doll let out a sinister chuckle before saying with a bit of playful sadism in his voice, "Check under the bed, bitch!". She glanced past the doll and a bit lower, towards underneath the bed as she saw Polnareff with a familiar pair of panties stuffed in his mouth and he looked panicked at her as their eyes met. He was tied to the underside of the bed. "Now, now, what to do with you?~", the doll mused with a playful sense of sadism in its voice, "Cut that pretty, pale chest of yours open nice and slow?~", he kicked open her now loosened towel, exposing her chest as the doll exclaimed, "Holy hell, you got a nice set of fuckable tits!". Polnareff got a fleeting glance at her chest before, being the honorable man he says he is, looked away with a blush on his face. Alice, now completely done with this little shit's dirty mouth and thoroughly embarrassed, summoned her stand as it threw the doll off of her and she lept up and back, her towel falling away. She fought the foul-mouthed stand, trying to ignore it's off handed remarks about her body. She had gotten tripped up by the bed and fell back on it just as the doll lunged to stab her. She had little time to react and so she flinched, expecting the knife to plunge into her. However, Silver Chariot appeared between her and the knife, taking the blow instead. It was hunched over her, holding her nude form protectively/close with the knife resounding off it's armor. It let go of her quickly and went to fight on her behalf and Alice was a bit stunned, not moving as she watched it fight the Red Devil.
-SKIP TO HERE-
Once Silver Chariot defeated the Red Devil, she heard Polnareff speak through it as its eye fleetingly glanced at her before looking up, "I-I do hope you are alright, mademoiselle chaton. However, could you kindly get off the bed and get changed before you help move it off me?", his stand holding out her towel as it looked up still and there was an apparent blush on it's face. Alice squinted at his stand and snatched up the towel as she wrapped it around herself once more as she said, "Your a goddamn idiot, Polnareff, you know that?! You could of gotten killed while I was in the shower and I would of been none the wiser! However,", her harsh tone softened a bit as she mumbled, an apparent blush on her face from embarrassment, "Thanks for having my back there. . . . .". She immediately regretted saying the last part when she saw the stand's eyes light up and he was about to go on a boasting rant about himself. She got dressed quickly, wrapping up her ankle as well, before attempting to move the bed off of him. She saw the familiar pair of panties stuff in his mouth and she promptly removed them with a glare as his stand disappeared. He tried to make light of the situation, notioning to her ankle as he said, "Need to see a doctor about that, mademoiselle chaton?". She hated his nickname for her, both on the fact she didn't know a lick of French and the fact she felt he was mocking her. She said, brushing it off, "Tch, it's fine. The shock is what got me. Besides, i'm not an idiot who gets tied up and gaged under a bed like a helpless maiden". He remarked under his breath, "Well, atleast I am modest enough to fight with something covering me". Upon hearing that, she went to punch him dead in the chest, but her ankle gave out and prompted to fall onto him. With him not prepared to suddenly catch her, they both tumbled to the floor just as the door to the room opened up and Joseph was saying as he walked in, "Hey, we heard some commotion, are you t-OH MYYYYYYYYYYYY~ HMPH, WELL, UH, I-'ll just-", but Alice, now completely red in the face as she choked out, "I-ITS NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE!". However, the position she and Polnareff was in would lead someone, with no prior context clues, to believe it was exact what it looked like!~
