The next morning you are awoken by a message from Pepper. "Saeko, there is a Joseph Joestar coming to see you in 15."
(OOC: For added context here are some notes befitting the setting.
1: Joseph was a founding member of the Justice Society of America despite being from Britain. During this period he was caught in the same radiation accident that kept the rest of the JSA founders relatively youthful even in modern times. As a result he is still in great physical condition despite him being effectively retired by '99 in Jojo continuity)

(OOC: Got it. ^_^)
Saeko
The purplette responded as she got dressed:
"Sure thing... I'll be ready when he shows. Please direct him to my office... Thanks, Pepper", she said simply, putting on a dark purple sweater and a black shin-length skirt, and brushing her hair.
She walked back to Shizuka.
"I'll have a guest in my office in fifteen minutes, Shizuka... eel free to get more sleep or have a nice breakfast, I shouldn't be too long.♥"

"Sure hon, have fun." She murmured in her sleep.

Saeko
Saeko smiled, slipping into a pair of 3 inches black pumps matching her skirt.
"Rest well, my beloved", she said softly, before heading over to her office to wait for her guest.

Joseph soon arrives, large, greying dark hair and imposing his robotic hand covered by a single glove.
"... Ms... Stark, vow that feels weird, oh sorry, glad you could agree to see me on such short notice. I came here on behalf of the Speedwagon Foundation."

Saeko
"Believe me, it still feels odd to me as well", she said with a smile as she was sitting in her armchair at her desk. "Please have a seat, Mr.Joestar. May I ask for the reason of your visit?" she asked, curious. "How fares the Foundation?"

"Well we still have cash to help the world, so I'm not here for a loan at least." He said. "No, I'm here on rumors of a more troubling sort." He said handing you a file with a photo in it. Of a man.... Holding a stone mask. "This man is Randolf Zimmermann a former museum curator with rumored ties to both HYDRA and the Maggia. That is one of the stone masks that have been used to create the strain of Vampires that have plagued the Joestar bloodline for over 120 years." He said. "I have come here to pass this information to you personally, and to request your aid in any way you can to find this man and the mask. I think you'll agree with me when I say these masks are relics that are better off destroyed."

Saeko
She nodded, folding her hands.
"I see", she said gravely. "...Yes, this is definitely a matter which needs to be taken care of. I promise you, Mr.Joestar. If this Zimmerman can be found, he will be, and I'll get that mask."
She crossed her legs, relaxing a bit.
"...Anything I must know about the mask? How to destroy it, whether it's safe to touch it, anything special? ...What about Zimmerman?"

"Just smash it, and it will be rendered useless. As long as no blood touches it you'll be safe. As for Zimmerman, he's nothing special, though he might have become a Vampire by this point. So only sunlight and Hamon will finish him for good in that case."

"...Not even if I disintegrate him?" Saeko asked, surprised. "Chop off its head, burn him to a crisp?"
She frowned. "If that's the case, he's different from vampires I'm used to fight. I don't have Hamon, however. In fact, I have barely heard the name a couple of times, usually when dealing with your family or acquaintances, so the details are a bit blurry there."

"Correct." He said.

"That complicates things..." Saeko said thoughtfully. "...How about sunlight? How vulnerable is he to sunlight?"

"Instant disintegration." He said.

Saeko
"Hm. So the best plan of action is to attack while it's daytime and he's likely hiding out somewhere, and drag him out into the light", she figured. "Very well... I will definitely do my best to get this man and destroy the mask", she promised.

"Good, I will conduct my own search too. If I find anything I will let you know." He said. "See you at the next Speedwagon Fundraiser... Next you'll say, I'll be the first one to whip out the checkbook." He declares. (It's kinda his running gag, predicting people's next sentences with near perfect accuracy. Feel free to play along, or not)
