"...Can't say I'm too surprised to run into someone else who knows how it feels. Then again, our kind tend to... find each other, in some way or form. It's the curse of Dark Matter." Of course, what the young man with unkempt black hair wouldn't say is that the two of them know how it feels to die, as well.
"So, are you finally having fun for once, Swordsman? It's rare to have a moment like this, so you should do all you can to savor it."
(This ask is from a human/Dark Matter hybrid OC who originally started out impersonating the form of another OC's best friend who died in an unfortunate accident on Shiver Star before the 'big freeze'... only for that mimicry to be imperfect, as the 'soul' of that person imprinting on the Dark Matter form to give it the ability to feel emotions. Some... interesting events followed.)

...The word hits Noir like a bullet to the spine. The exact intonation. This isn't just a prank call. You have to KNOW to know how they speak.
"...Shit."
(This PHONE isn't cursed, is it?!)
Maybe it's cursed because YOU touched it?
"Curse... Yeah..." "...Can't ever seem to break away..."
(I knew this whole incredibly sus "tournament" thing was some kind of illusion! What if MASTER ZERO ((why-do-e-...e-eye-still-say-it-like-that?-why-can't-eye-stop, even now?!)) is just playing more mind games with me?!?)

Or you could take his advice about having fun...?

"...?! Who said that?!"

//AN: Noir will have fun. Eventually? Maybe...?!? XD Well, we can have fun poking and prodding him in the meantime. Also yessss. Being a Dark Matter with "emotions" and a "soul" is a very fun experience. (Is Noir's "human" appearance here even real?)
