Giorno Giovanna: W-What was that? ...A hallucination?

Giorno Giovanna: For a moment... I thought I saw Polpo eating his fingers along with the cracker...

Giorno Giovanna: Maybe... Polpo is a Stand User like Buccellati... And, perhaps what I saw... Was some sort of Bizarre power...

Giorno Giovanna: However, now that I've seen this...

Giorno Giovanna: I can't let him know that I saw his fingers...

Polpo: What do you think is the most important factor...

Polpo: ...In choosing a person, Giorno Giovanna...?

Giorno Giovanna: ...

Polpo: Huff... Okay, tell me your opinion...

Polpo: What is the most important factor of all?

Giorno Giovanna: Probably what they can do in their position...

Giorno Giovanna: ...Maybe...

Polpo: Ah, yes...?

Polpo: And what are you able to do, Giorno?

Giorno Giovanna: ...

Polpo: Hoho...

Polpo: Oh...

Polpo: ...Oh!

Giorno Giovanna: While the guards searched me...

Giorno Giovanna: ...I borrowed their cards...

Giorno Giovanna: ...Just for a bit of course... For the test...

Giorno Giovanna: Obviously I'm going to give them back once I get out...

Polpo: Hehehehe... Uhuhuhuh.... Hahaha!

Polpo: ...Do you have any other...

Polpo: Special abilities?

Giorno Giovanna: It's a little strange but...

Giorno Giovanna: ...I can also do this with my ear...

Polpo: Hahahaha! Hehehehe! Pufffff! That looks fun...

Polpo: But...

Polpo: ...There's something even more important...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Polpo: ...And that is confidence, Giorno Giovanna!

SFX: FWIP FWIP FWIP

Polpo: The most important thing in choosing someone is confidence...

Polpo: In comparison with this, intelligence, or any ability have the same importance as these cracker crumbs between my teeth...

Polpo: This test is to prove that you're worthy of trust, and you'll prove that with this flame!

Polpo: Hold it between your hands and don't let it go off!

Polpo: Consider it a test of fire...

SFX: CLANG

Giorno Giovanna: Oh!

Polpo: H-Ha... Be careful not to extinguish it!

Polpo: Do you know what fuller said, a theologian from 1700?

Polpo: "We can trust only those who speak well of their friends in their absence"...

Polpo: To join our organization you must demonstrate that you're trustworthy even when you're out of sight...

Polpo: You must hold this lighter for 24 hours without it going off!

Polpo: If you succeed I will approve of your membership...

Polpo: Simple, no? There's enough gas in the lighter...

Polpo: If you want, you can also go back to your home and be comfortable until 3 in the afternoon keeping an eye on it until tomorrow...

Polpo: If you do watch the flame with enough commitment and dedication... without it going off...

Polpo: ...Than I'll know that you can be trusted...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Polpo: But if you're one that I take lightly...

Polpo: ...Surely you're going to fall asleep, or sneeze, or leave the window open... In one way or another your lack of attention will turn off the flame...

Polpo: If that happens, that means I can't trust you...

Polpo: This is your proof of admission...

Polpo: Now, take the lighter!

Giorno Giovanna: I changed the casing of the lighter into a flower. But I feared that the flame would be extinguished within the stalk...

TN: You know, I always thought as Polpo as being a character that's inhuman since he looks so fucking weird. He looks like the type of gangster that's the psycho kind who has to look at artwork to think he's sane. You know I heard of many gang tests growing up you know? Like guys getting beat to death by 45 people stomping their skull in inevitably killing the guy who wants to join their gang. Or, The the guy has to murder someone to earn "stripes" which means he's a very valuable player and a dangerous gangster. But having a lighter's flame lit for 24 hour hours makes that gangster shit look like child games.

I thought real gangsters had to prove their self worth doing something dangerous, Like killing someone to show where their heart is. I guess in Polpo's sick and twisted mind holding a lighter for 24 hours makes someone reliable, without having to murder someone. Well see where this goes, And what happens next when Ozzy Osbourne comes to claim souls. Here's a great fucking song to listen to while you read this ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RGrBSIeM20 ) Meshuggah - "Spasm" (Yeah, If none of you know what Meshuggah means, It means "Crazy" in Farsi and Hebrew. That's exactly what this group is and this Chapter.)
