MY LITTLE JOJO: STANDS ARE MAGIC
CHAPTER 12: FUGUE MIGNORE VISITS THE APPLE FAMILY
OPEN THE GAME!

>Phew!
>That's the southeastern field done!
>Oh if only Ma n' Pa could see you now
>You hope they're proud of your work
>You wipe the sweat from your brow
>Let's head on in, shall we?
>You walk towards the house's direction when you spot Big Mac coming from his work
"Hey Mac. The work going well?"
>"Eeyup."
"Well that's good, I figured since I'm done I could... fix up.. some..."
>You were about to finish that sentence when you noticed something up with Mac
>He was... looking around...
>Like he was hearing something you weren't
"Uhhhh... Mac?"
>"There's that damn voice again?"
"What voice?"
>Mac jumps at this
>"Nothing. Just... nothing."
"Somethin' wrong Big Mac?"
>"Nothing at all. Why do you ask?"
>Kay, now you know somethin's up
"Alllriiiight then. I'll see you at the house."
>"Eeyup."
>You get back to your walk back
>Well THAT was something strange
>Couldn't be one o' them Stand things affecting Mac could it?
>...
>Nah, it's probably something else
>Though you should keep an eye out in case

>Hope she knows something's wrong
>What with that voice in yer head
>Every time you do something, it narrates it
>You swear it made you mess up a few bucks
>Hell, at some point, it took notice and started remarking about it
>It's starting to throw you off
>"Big Macintosh simply stood there for a minute or so. Perhaps he was contemplating the complexity of apple-bucking, how every muscle has to contract and expand in such a way so as to allow him the means of perfectly bucking each apple off the tree at once."
>No, I'm contemplating how in the hay you got into my head
>...Have you got that one disease uncle Sour got?
>Schizophrenia?
>Nah, you were pretty sure you didn't
>You were mentally sound
>...you hoped you were
>You begin walking towards the house
>"At some point, the large red stallion began walking towards the toolshed in the barn."
>What?
>No, you're pretty sure you're walking back to the house
>Just as you approach the front door-
>"*Achem* I said Big Macintosh walked towards the toolshed in the BARN."
>Well, you ain't controlling me
>I ain't doing what you say
>You open the door-
>Rather, you try
>"Nonono, Big Mac, the TOOLSHED in the BARN."
>No
>In the HOUSE, towards the KITCHEN
>You finally jimmy open the door-
>And find yourself in the barn?
>What in all...?
>"Anyways-"
>You hear the door shut behind you
>What in the hay is happening?
>"Big Mac went to the shed door and grabbed the shovel."
>Is that voice louder than before?
>...
>You turn around to head out-
>And you're facing the toolshed now
>Why?
>"Big Mac, I'm not sure you'll want to keep disobeying me. Now I'm going to give you one more strike before I just up and take over."
>Excuse me?
>"Now then, Big Mac grabbed the shovel."
>You're now right in front of the shovel
>Alright
>Fine
>You'll play along for now
>You grab the shovel in your mouth
>"Shovel now equipped, Big Mac now walks to the house."
>Fine then
>You do as the voice says
>You have to find a way to let somepony know
>They might not believe you though
>...Applejack
>She'll help
>Maybe her friends
>They can help right?

>Come now Rarity, you've got to get there NOW!
>There's no stopping...
>No stopping....
>Oh sweet Celestia...
>That shield spell REALLY tuckered you out
>A -"You alright Rare?"
"Yes, Anon.... Thank you... for asking..."
>A -"You don't sound alright, what with the panting."
>Were you panting?
>A -"Wanna ride on my back?"
>What?
>Out of nowhere, Anon grabs you and picks you up
"Anon?!"
>He hesitates
>A -"I'm sorry, I-"
"No, it's..."
>You WERE tired
"-Fine, go ahead."
>He hoists you onto his back
>A few minutes pass as all of you finally reach Sweet Apple Acres
>As you walk up to the house, you spot Big Mac heading towards the house with a shovel in his mouth
>P -"Hiya Big Mac!" Pinkie blurts as she adjusts Toccata's body on her back
>Big Mac's eyes widen as he notices your group's presence
>BM -"Hey there, Pinkie, Rarity, Spike, Anon," Big Mac replies, his eyes shifting side to side
>Something's up
>He's so nervous
>He's sweating up a storm
>And his eyes are shifting around like he's being watched
"Are you alright dearie? You seem off."
>Big Mac gulps and puts on the biggest smile
>BM -"Eeyup."
>A -"Are you sure? 'Cause it looks li-"
>You quickly snap his mouth shut with magic
"Is Applejack here?"
>BM -"Eeyup."
"Thanks. See you later!
>BM -"Oh, uh..."
>"How about y'all stay for dinner? I figure y'all need something ta fill yer bellies, am I right?"
>In comes Applejack with a smile on her face
>A -"Actually that sounds great right about now considering we were dragged away from lunch, but that's not why we're here."
"Come now darling, couldn't we discuss that-"
>You pull his head up-
"-In private?"
>You eye Big Mac, hoping he'll get the idea
>A -"Right, yeah, this is a bit of a... private matter."
>Sp -"Whatever. Pinkie and I are gonna have some chow."
>P -"Damn right we are! I didn't even have time to finish all of my ice cream sammich!"
>A -"Alright then, we'll meet you two inside. We gotta discuss something with Applejack."
>AJ -"Yup. Go on in and say hi to-"
>Applejack just now notices the body hanging off of Pinkie's back
>AJ -"Uuuuuhhhh-"
>A -"We'll explain in a second. For now..."
>Anon puts you down and grabs Toccata from Pinkie
>A -"You and Spike go ahead and get inside."
>P -"Okie dokie lokie!"
>Spike and Pinkie head towards the house
>A -"Could you come with us a second Applejack?"
>AJ -"Sure. See ya back at the house, Mac!"
>BM -"Eeyup."
>Big Mac heads back to the house, shovel in mouth
>You, Anon and Applejack get under a nearby apple tree
>AJ -"So, what's going on?"
"Well, if our friend here-"
>You gesture to Toccata
"-Is correct, then there's currently a Stand User nearby ready to off you."
>AJ -"Yer serious?"
"Yes, I fear so. That's why we need your help. Have you seen anything odd going on?"
>AJ -"Honestly, the only strange thing going on is Big Mac."
>A -"Yeah, we noticed. What's wrong with him?"
>AJ -"Well I'm not completely sure, but he DID mumble something about hearin' voices."
>A -"Voices?"
"We'll figure that out once we get our 'friend' here awake. Anon, could you put him down for me?"
>Anon puts down Toccata, and you give him a smack across the cheek to wake him
>T -"MHMGH! MHMGH! MH-...?"
"Oh, right."
>You rip the tape off his mouth
>T -"FUCK! Fmmmmmmgh! Celestia's teats madam, must you be so rough?!"
"You have no right to speak like that after what you tried to pull on me!"
>AJ -"Who in the hay is that?"
"Toccata Mignore. He tried to kill me earlier today, and he says his brother's here to kill you."
>AJ -"Is that so?"
>T -"And you think I'm gonna tell you anything just because-"
>Anon yanks Toccata up by the throat onto the tree
>A -"You're gonna tell us EVERYTHING because if you don't and I find out somepony was killed by your brother, I swear to God I will make sure the rest of both of your short lives are an unending traumatizing hell from which you will want nothing more than the sweet release of death. Do you understand me?"
>T- "...Wha-?"
>Anon brings his fist straight into Toccata's stomach, causing him to vomit
>This won't end well; You should stop it
>A -"DO YOU UNDERSTA-"
>You grab at his white t-shirt with your magic
"Darling, I understand you care for our friends, but I... I'm thinking this isn't the best way to get information from him. What say we take it easy?"
>Anon drops Toccata, a dark expression on his face
"Now then Toccata, what does your brother's Stand do?"
>T -"Fine, fine. Just make sure that brute doesn't touch me again."
>A -"Whatever. Now what does it do?"
>T -"It's a long range Stand that attaches itself to someone. At that point, Fugue can make somepony do whatever he wants as he narrates it. If they disobey him three times, he gains full control of their body."
>AJ -"So Big Mac WAS hearin'a voice."
>T -"Well then he's in trouble. Once he gets his Stand on someone, he can make them do ANYTHING."
"Anything?"
>T -"Yup. As long as what he wants is physically possible, reality itself will bend to allow it."
>A -"So how do we stop him?"
>T -" You'd have to find him."
"Well that seems simple enough."
>T -"Not really. He's pretty clever with that thing."
>AJ -"Well, we're gonna stop him!"
>T -"If you think you can, then go ahead. I'm just saying."

>"Well this is just fantastic! Not only did your damned friends have to come by and ruin my plan, but they have my brother in tow! Just- *sigh* It's fine, it's fine, I'll make do. I'll just have to take care of Rarity now as well."
>Well that ain't good
>You have to find some way to warn Applejack and her friends
>But how?
>"Big Mac decided not to bring the shovel into the house, though why he would think it should be in there in the first place is beyond any sane pony's guess, and instead went in to enjoy himself some dinner with his family and friends."
>You do as he says
>This ain't gonna end well
