He didn't need to do that, I could've figured it out by myself.
[ Skulk skulk. ]
I just wound up putting it off. A lot of stuff was happening with that beach trip and the Oracle, and I've been through worse before.
[ Dark Schneider has had his limbs and head torn off, innards eaten, been split clean in half, impaled... so, honestly, what's a little "oh no, I'm cold and apathetic about things!" with his demon pacts visible? This is baby stuff.
Besides, nobody but Silco knows about the dirty work he'd done to land himself in this mess, either. Not even Rin. ]
[ Eustace, sitting here watching Dokja slowly succumb to his own Discord while Dark claims it ain't all that: okay, sure. ]
And if you don't figure it out? You'd rather wait until things get bad enough to kill you?
[ He doesn't really care about Dark (sorry, buddy) but he does care about Lucien to some degree, and he'd rather not see anything happen to Lucien if he can help it. ]
[ dats bc dokja's a lil bitch, not big and macho like dark is >:) survival of the fittest little lad ]
Okay, Mom.
[ He feels some degree of defensiveness and petulance now as if he's a child reacting to being scolded. Dark's reincarnated soul has only resided in this body for 15 years, after all... some of his new, easily provoked habits tend to show it. ]
Well at least I know what to do. I just need to avoid Iconoclast Meridians and try to snuggle up to some Advocates or Exalt ones instead.
[ Said flatly. Suddenly he's reminded of the stash he'd stumbled across Gray and Mordred with. He really doesn't want to do this, but the alternative - having someone even more undeserving than him shuffled up to the cause (like Gray) - is so much worse. ]
Don't bother looking. I'll take care of it for you.
[ Just please make sure your hands are washed first, Dark. ]
[ A muffled emotion slips through the communion as if Dark is trying to weigh whether or not he is satisfied or ungrateful for the circumstances. It eventually subsides when he realizes he shouldn't be picky, but a tired annoyance crosses in the sense that he'd hoped for a fanservice moment with, surely enough, a hot girl. It's okay though, Eustace, I will always appreciate you and never take you for grantedβ ]
Okay.
[ The reply is so simple. Like a child who begrudgingly accepts the futility of piano lessons after school. ]
[ THERE IS NO NEED TO MAKE IT BIGGER, HE WILL FIND IT JUST FINE.
See, case in point: some 20 minutes later Eustace shows up at the castle, peering up at its overly extra outward decor. Does he go through the front door....? You know what, he'll ask. ]
[ Dark is quiet and without resistance or sense of humor in that 20 minutes, and mutters in a High Ancient language to dispel his warding sigil. Once the seal has been lifted, his attention becomes just a little sharperβ felt through communion. ]
You should be good now.
[ There shouldn't be any auditory hallucinations or ballsack itching, like this. ]
[ What a mysterious man...Thanks for saving his balls Dark, he needs those for later.
Truthfully though, he's more taken aback by the interior of the swanky castle to think too much about its host, frowning a little more at the opulence inside. Definitely not his cup of tea, and he'll be happy to leave again once all this is done. ]
He does in fact head towards the statue after a long assessing stare at said naked sculpture, though he's certainly standing a healthy distance away by the time Dark arrives.
What if he gets Dark cooties from standing too close? :/ Definitely better for him to have volunteered for Discord cleansing than some other poor sap though. ]

And have you found any yet?
no subject
[ A beat. Hrn. ]
But that's only because I hadn't started looking yet, and most of my harem is non-shardbearers. Yuri just got a head start on me is all.

[ Whatβ ]
Like you're about to try and find somebody, or literally you?
no subject
[ What part of that was unclear?? ]
I'm a Meridian. I'm an Exalt. I don't have any Discord problems of my own currently.
[ What more could Dark want??? Probably a hot girl, so sorry he can't deliver on that front. ]

Okay.

Where do I meet you...
[ π ]
no subject
Wherever. [ Wow, he's so casual about this upcoming intimate handholding. ] if you're not feeling well, I can go out to you.
[ Just name a time and place and he's there!! ]
no subject
[ There's relief here, though. Dark is glad that Eustace makes things easier for him. ]
You can come to me. Have you ever even seen my castle before?
no subject
'Castle'?
[ That's a no. ]
no subject
[ Certainty in his voice. ]
no subject
An even longer pause. ]
I see. [ He doesn't see but it's fine because he will see. ] I'll be there as soon as I can.

[ Isn't Dark Schneider so cool... ]

Should I just go through the front door?
