[You know, this asshole could've at least been decent enough to fall over and break his fall, but nooo, he had to be sturdy and stay balanced while Jotaro slides right the hell off of him and eats shit into the sidewalk.
...Or would, but for the fact that his latent anxiety about these unfamiliar circumstances has kept Star Platinum on high alert ever since his arrival, and Star's reflexes have always been faster than his own — faster than any command he could ever hope to give.
So, an inch or two before he hits the ground, a purple glow manifests between himself and the pavement, acting like a buffer to break his fall and keep him from leaving half the skin of his face on the sidewalk. And like every other time he's summoned Star Platinum since arriving, just using him at all makes him feel like he's had the breath knocked out of him, leaving him to grunt like he's been punched in the gut.]
Fuck.
[Well, at least he's not mortally wounded. Just crabby.]
