#dark when hes off to do a boring ass heist: hello? gold star dispenser????? come here. come here. come here.

Dia is going to stare at Dark for an *uncomfortably* long time before speaking. "Some times I used to help with backstage effects. I could probably make things spark and throw non harmful spells whenever you appear next." Imagine him just very unamusedly throwing a bag of confetti, just for extra effects.

@crimsontroupe

and he stares back , not all that impressed by diamont's own stare or oppressive , dull silence , until the heavy cloud of it is finally dispelled between them and dark too brings himself to finally blink at the other , slow and careless . ' ... backstage effects ? you had to help with backstage effects for what , exactly ? '

surely not the tortures , because if there was anything more absurd and uninteresting than diamont listlessly throwing about glitter and confetti and lifelessly blowing on a party horn in a little paper tri-corn hat , it was doing all of that while someone was begging and screaming for mercy amidst a gruesome background . ' --- small tricks like that are nothing to me , either . '

no doubt in even smaller measure that diamont's unwieldy might , or far too practical and carefully plotted out to be considered magic at all , but his pride would never let diamont get the best of him be it in performance or magic . not for as long as he had a reputation to maintain ! his hands settle onto his hips and his nose lifts haughtily high . ' i never asked for your help . '

and he wouldn't , he thinks , not for as long as he was absolutely confident he could put on one amazing , breath-taking performance after another . ( though when things got boring and he was stealing from someplace without any hint of guard or audience attention , maybe he would invite diamont to throw around a little confetti for him after all . nothing to admit , only to demand . )
