Gold Experience scoffed openly at Alison, both at her demands and her foolishness in actually revealing her name. [color=DAA520][b]"You don't get to make demands of me. This isn't a negotiation, and my identity isn't for sale. If you want my name, you can earn it. For now, just call me Sakura,"[/b][/color] it said without a smidge of compromise. Kasumi could already understand thoroughly that for this woman, information was power, and she had no intention of handing any regarding herself over if and until absolutely necessary. Besides, it wasn't like this so-called "Alison" couldn't also be lying about her own name. So, an alias is what she'd be getting, and she'd just have to be happy with it. [color=DAA520][b]"I'll work with you, but I don't need your resources or your skills, just your pact of non-hostility."[/b][/color] It glanced at the corpse on the table.

Gold Experience clicked its tongue at Jotaro's words but nodded. [color=DAA520][b]"You're not wrong. I'd say my actions speak for themselves, but skepticism is justified."[/b][/color] Folding its arms behind its back, it stepped over to the table, not making any sudden movements and keeping an eye on Jotaro's reactions. [color=DAA520][b]"As much as police oversight would be a pain in the ass, I'll allow it if that's really the price to get what I need."[/b][/color] Glancing down at the corpse that it now stood beside, its expression wrinkled at the smell. [color=DAA520][b]"As for what I need from the corpse... [i]Nothing[/i]. I do not need something [i]from[/i] the corpse. I need the [i]entire[/i] corpse, [i]period[/i]. Don't worry,"[/b][/color] it assured Jotaro. [color=DAA520][b]"My ability will not tamper with the corpse's integrity. The 'evidence' will remain exactly the same when returned as it was when I removed it."[/b][/color]

Unfolding a hand from behind its back, Gold Experience reached out, ripples of golden light beginning to spill from its fingertips. [color=DAA520][b]"The ability of Gold Experience is simple in concept, yet broad in application,"[/b][/color] it explained for the benefit of its audience. [color=DAA520][b]"My Stand has the ability to imbue life energy into anything it touches. Upon doing so, for a non-living target, that life energy [i]gives[/i] it life."[/b][/color] It touched the corpse, and ripples of gold pulsated into its form. This was all quite a bit more showy than Kasumi preferred to be with her ability, but she figured it was for the best in this case. The corpse of the murder victim began to physically bulge and morph, suddenly shrinking down several feet in moments... before wriggling to life as a harmless king snake.

Gold Experience reached down and gently scooped up the reptile, which rather docilely took the treatment, its head darting around, as it slithered in Gold Experience's grasp. The Stand let it be, letting it coil around and travel up each limb in turn, before providing the other for it to climb back on, and as it did, the snake would occasionally pause and dart its head up, consistently gazing in approximately the same direction each time. [color=DAA520][b]"All life retains connections... bonds,"[/b][/color] Gold Experience continued. [color=DAA520][b]"When I create a living creature, that creature instinctively understands when it is not... 'whole' and seeks out what it's missing... the remainder of what it once was."[/b][/color] The golden Stand smiled. [color=DAA520][b]"And that is where we get to the meat of my plan, because this mass murderer, fool that they are, has been taking physical [i]trophies[/i]."[/b][/color] It chuckled darkly. [color=DAA520][b]"The Cobbler's foot fetish will be their undoing, because now that I have the part of the corpse they left behind... I can use this snake to [i]track the feet they kept[/i]."[/b][/color]

Its grin was filled with eager teeth, as it chuckled. [color=DAA520][b]"And if this corpse doesn't work out? Well, all I need to do is try again with the next newest victim and so on. The fresher, the better. Eventually, that rat bastard will have nowhere to hide."[/b][/color]
