Tally:

But...which mask shall you go after?
[11] The auction tour's
Pipeman, Alexander, Biigoh, overmind, hunter09, Robotninja, BlackWarth, Ardion Prosili, MHLord, Varano, korat56

[2] Touko Aozaki's
Selias, Master Basher

And which family do you think you will subvert to your will?
[12] Matou; they are far easier to manipulate and bend to your will
Pipeman, Alexander, Biigoh, hunter09, Robotninja, Selias, BlackWarth, Ardion Prosili, Master Basher, MHLord, Varano, korat56

[1] Tohsaka; their jewelcraft will prove quite useful to your cause
overmind

 

[Ardion Prosili]

[X] Matou; they are far easier to manipulate and bend to your will

I'm sure NOTHING bad will happen from us taking the obvious path AT ALL!

[X] Touko Aozaki's
[X] Matou; they are far easier to manipulate and bend to your will

Hear me out on why I'm voting for Touko.

IF we get the Touko vote, if Dio plays his cards right; he COULD learn more about Magecraft from her and such. Problem being; why does she have the Stone Mask in hand?

As for Matou...

Well, on one hand; we COULD have tried to contact Rin. But knowing that we had to disappear from her; least she attempted to Hypno the Jewel away, or do something as the 'Second Owner'. It ma~ay not be a good idea. And more likely would have required TOO much effort compared to before.

IF you where even going to interact with her, just say you where interested in the Jewel so you can research an 'anti-sunlight' Magecraft effect, over the jewel itself. Use it as a bargaining tool to 'lend' (IE: Exchange) as long as she helps you co-operate on developing Anti-Hamon techniques. Problem with THAT however, is that it'd risk Rin learning about the Ripple... So not really worth it.

Then again, what if you made a Lunar counterpart to the Ripple? Maybe that'd be something to start with, at least.

=

Now, Sakura on the other hand... Other than having to keep a SHARP eye on Zouken. It's well... really easy, obvious and would make a much safer investment. Just charm her and bedazzle with hints of kindness and such. And before you know it.

A Yandere is a really loyal tool. And that's before we even get into her Dark Sakura modo, or possible Stands, Vampirism and such. Question being, can she IC help us with Magecraft. And can we trust Zouken not to stab us in the back?

-

One last thing being; can we get anything else/milk Kiritsugu for any more Magecraft? But that aside, I think either Touko or the Difficult, but Stationary would be the places where we're most likely to get the Mask. The auction may be once in a lifetime. But who knows if we can even afford to pay against the Highest Bidder, or the interests that may intercept our use of it?

Your path is set; Pucci booking a flight to Germany and arranging the rest of your travel affairs. You were in no mood to deal with fickle and petty magi, nor willing to reveal yourself to the Joestars; not until the proper time has come. The proper time, where you will inspire true despair and hopelessness, being at the zenith of your power before the aging Jotaro and his kin; showing them that you, Dio, are truly eternal. A force of nature unto itself, a budding god whose will can not, and indeed will not be denied; not even by the meager likes of them.

As for your choice of allies; you decide that the Matou, the family far more malleable to your will, shall be your tools here in Fuyuki. You quickly find the Matou heir; Sakura, and work your magic on her. With sweet nothing and tantalizing whispers given under the guise of a outstanding gentleman; you quickly cement your place as the only one who 'cares' about her, who 'cherishes' her as something beautiful. Oh sure, it is with but childlike and innocent words, but as the years pass you will move onto more...intimate methods to cement her loyalty, her dependency on you.

When you have to leave, she immediately latches onto you; begging you not to leave, "Please, Dio-san; don't go! Is...is it something I did? Did I offend you; did...did I do something wrong?" Immediately, her eyes start to die and she begins to mutter, "I have, haven't I; I disgust you. I...I shouldn't be here, I should leave."

Just as expected; the girl was truly broken inside, seeing herself as something tainted and wrong. The moment you became her light, she flocked to you; wanting to be closer to you, to be recognized and valued by you, constantly worrying that her 'taint' would disgust you. You grab her shoulder as she runs and pull her into a gentle embrace; perfectly planned and executed to further her dependence and loyalty towards you.

"Nonsense; this is just a family matter," you tell her, running your hand gently through her hair, "If I could bring you with me, I would; but alas, I would have to talk with your family about that."

Immediately, Sakura flinches at your mention of 'family'. You smirk; good, now to continue, "But I assure you, I'll only be gone for a month; the moment I come back you'll be the first one I see. Ok?"

"Promise?" She asks, almost pleading as she looks up to your eyes. You take in the desperation, the longing within those eyes; and smile. You're glad that your new body is similar enough to your original one. You've always taken pride in your appearance, satisfaction that you struck an imposing figure that made people look up to meet your eyes, your large frame being both intimidating and alluring.

It also makes manipulating people so much easier; as you cup the girl's cheek and whisper, "But of course, my dear. Why wouldn't I; when I cherish you so."

And with a small peck on her forehead, you depart; leaving to the airport and to Germany, where your ascension awaits. Leaving behind a poor girl; who's admiration and dependence on you grows daily, as you cement yourself in her mind and soul as the one thing she needs. The one thing she wants.


The flight was rather dull; being stuck with the pitiful masses, but you've arrived at your destination and have already rushed to the auction hall, seeing the stone mask on display as the next item up for sale. Wonderful, you've arrived just in time.

With the funds Pucci has acquired from...generous donations, you have quite the amount of money to spend. And you're willing to spend all of it to get the mask, your tool to become what you were before; what you were meant to be. To become once more the predator among these masses, the wolf among the flocks of ignorant sheep.

Yes...the time was now; and you refuse to leave without your prize...

How will you bet for the mask?
[X] Aggressively; make it clear that you're taking the mask and not accepting 'no' for an answer
[X] Cautiously; make it appear that you don't want it, so that you may see your competition and strike at the opportune moment
[X] Why bet at all? Wait for someone else to buy it and take it from them. Keep an eye out for who wins
[X] Write-in

I'm a bit torn between bidding aggressively and not bidding at all...

[x] Cautiously

By jumping in straight away we show the make to be valuable as something, inviting rival bidders.

If we play it smart, we could not only avoid any undue interest, but also spend a fraction of what we would otherwise.

Uhm Ender I am a little confused about the timeline here. In what order the events happened?

Saved by Kiritsugu: 7 years old
Obtained Sekiseki no Aja: 8 years old
Kiritsugu dead: 10 years old

You killed off Kerry two years earlier than in canon because of poison, as well as meeting with Sakura earlier too so you can manipulate her.

Okay. So how much older is Dio now? Because if Pucci brought the news of the Mask when he was 10 (before Kiri's death), it would be strange to wait years before heading for the auction's tour only to woo Sakura.

You wooed Sakura while waiting for Kerry to die; you are currently ten years old. You left the moment Kerry died because doing so beforehand was going to cause problems.
