On his similarity to the mun's other characters:

[hearrrtofgold]

Okay, the similarity thing you're worried about? Totally makes sense. I get being worried about that. Nobody wants a menu where everything's a variation on the exact same dish.

But, that guy you keep comparing me to. The other one you play that you're afraid I'm too much like. Yes, I know I'm the funny one, but I'm simply not that stupid. Come on. Also, that crazy girl with the thing for knives? Not flattering.

So let's start with a reintroduction. I'm Duke, and I am not your other characters. Now stop lagging on re-watching my canon and start playing me somewhere. Help me find my friends.

I promise, I'll be me.

Tell me this isn't still about Archer.

[ Also he realizes it's the done thing to be like, 'NO NO FLEE FROM BEING PLAYED EVER, THEY'LL DO AWFUL THINGS TO YOU,' but ....he is not doing that. ]

[hearrrtofgold]

Tell me I'm not that selfish.

[Which apparently you are too, Nathan. Good!]

[neuropathy]

Oh, you're fishin' for compliments already?

[ Help, he can't actually stop smiling. ]

[hearrrtofgold]

Gotta be fishing for something.

Seriously, I'm nowhere near as messed-up as that guy. Right?

[neuropathy]

[ Nathan attempts to construct some kind of joke about space fish and then abandons that train of thought really quickly. Mercifully. ]

Look, 'f we were gonna start comparin' you to every other guy who can make a joke we'd be here all day. You're not that selfish.

An' trust me, I've had a lotta time to think about this.

[hearrrtofgold]

[It's almost a shame. No matter the execution, Duke would be highly amused by the effort.]

I'm so sorry.

[neuropathy]

[ Tiny disconcerted laugh! Preparation to deflect! ]

For what?

[ Psh. Nathan would say if he were the kind of person who said 'psh.' ]

[tomarrow]

This one compares me to a guy with knives.

[hearrrtofgold]

Did they ever say why?

[tomarrow]

Problems. With - killing.

Being able to do it. Being good at it.

[ Tight shrug. He wouldn't be saying this anywhere but fourth-wall-place. ]

[hearrrtofgold]

Sucks, doesn't it?

[tomarrow]

[ A pause, as he glances up at Duke, glances away again. ] ...yeah.

[hearrrtofgold]

[Duke doesn't move in, but his stance is relaxed. Nonthreatening, open.] Do you want to talk about how it happened?

[heardher]

Hm. I think mine thinks the same thing. Similar characters all around.

No crazy girls with knives as far as I know, though.

[hearrrtofgold]

I think I like the rest of her head already.

Stay away from the crazy girl with knives.

[heardher]

I'd like to think my sense of self preservation is good enough to have me stay away from crazy people with knives without a warning.

...but you know, lately that's doubtful.

[hearrrtofgold]

Selfless running into the line of danger. Just one of those Haven things.

[heardher]

Maybe it's someone's trouble. "Make everyone around them selfless when danger appears".

[hearrrtofgold]

So, Audrey's?

[onlysurvivor]

Well, you are better looking than them.

[hearrrtofgold]

Thank you!

[onlysurvivor]

And if it's any consolation, we're more alike than you are with them. Of course, you don't know me so you'll just have to take my word for it.

[hearrrtofgold]

Are we? I'm going to guess that means Nathan gets annoyed with you a lot too.

[onlysurvivor]

I like to think I've grown on him.

[hearrrtofgold]

So we really do have something in common.
