//Magic Curse! AU with @keexnposts //

Most of the egos have gathered in the Iplier Manor's private theatre, their presence being requested by Marvin, who wanted to put on a little show as a way of showing off some of his newest magic tricks. Anti had wanted so badly to not go to another one of the magician's stupid shows, but Chase insisted upon them going to support their friend. So, here Anti is now, sitting in the front row beside Eric Derekson, groaning over the fact that he got stuck with the shyest ego of the bunch.

Chase sits next to Henrik a few rows back, handing the doctor a bottle of water. "For when the headache kicks in" He tells his friend jokingly, holding his own bottled water in his lap. He looks towards the stage impatiently, yet keeps a warm and welcoming smile upon his face.

"Oo, we haven't seen any live performances in years, Darkling!" Wilford exclaims with genuine excitement as he sits next to his partner. "Remember the last time we went to one of these? You became annoyed with one of the dancers, so I had to stab her in the kneecaps!" He chuckles. "Ah, good times."

How is Henrik? I wanna see how the good doctor is coping :)

“Henrik is fine.“ Jackie answers, his voice lacking the usual empathy. “A shocker, considering that he watched his crush die in front of his eyes. But...“ He trails off. Not in an emotional way, just as if he lost his train of thought. “Well the more I think, it really isn’t a shocker. Puppets don’t feel much of anything, do they?”  After a moment of silence, Marvin pipes in, watching Jackie intently for his reaction. He clicks his tongue, in an almost disapproving manner. “Puppets don’t have their emotions taken away, my dear. They’re simply too weak to acknowledge them. And Jameson, he was weak from the beginning, with his... issues... And Henrik... he couldn’t even admit how he felt, even before he was relieved of the strain of functioning on his own.” Jackie’s face goes from blank to irritated in a span of seconds. He knows Marvin can see, and he’s already thinking about how to confront him about the bullshit he just spewed.
