“It won’t be that bad, Y/n.” You watched Mags reflection in her vanity mirror as she applied mascara to her inch long lashes.
You turned to your own mirror and gazed at the porcelain half of your face. Much like Mag, you had made a deal to replace the burned skin of your face in exchange for being the new male face of Geneco. You flinched away from the gentern as she caked your face with foundation. Tonight was the genetic opera and you and Mag were to perform at the festival throughout the day before the big show.
“It’s going to be a disaster.” You told her, “Amber thinks that she’s going to be the new face after you… retire so there’s no way she’ll like me. And Luigi and Pavi are so easy to piss off. I’m literally going to die today, Mag. Jesus Christ that’s enough damn powder.” You gently pushed away the gentern and start wiping off the excessive makeup.
“Just avoid Amber, don’t look Luigi in the eyes, and hope that Pavi is distracted by his own reflection. You’re amazing, Y/n. Everyone will love you.” Mag held you by the shoulders and placed a kiss on your porcelain cheek. You rolled your eyes and wiped the lipstick mark off easily.
A rustle of fabric was heard as someone lifted the flap of the tent. Looking over, you could see a fidgety man holding a clipboard. “5 minutes til you’re on, Mag.” He glanced over to you as if just realizing that you were there too. “5 minutes, Y/n.”
Mag stood up and grabbed your hand, coaxing you out of your seat as well. Hesitantly, you followed her out of the tent into the chaotic streets of the festival.
Curiosity forced your eyes to drift over to Pavi’s tent, where three genterns were securing a new face to his skull. You ducked out of view as he turned around to admire himself. Still clinging tight to Mag, you followed her over to Luigi, who was demanding a cup of coffee from the people surrounding him.
You jolted back in fear when he tackled the bearer of his coffee and started stabbing him. You swore in that moment you could see the steam escaping out of his ears.
You tried to hold back Mag as she approached the murderous Largo. “Mag, I really don’t think we should get involv-”
“Luigi, stop it.” Mag ordered.
The oldest Largo stared in shock at her audacity. You tried to make yourself appear as small as possible, praying his gaze wouldn’t fall to you. Of course, Luigi and Pavi weren’t the ones you were most afraid of. That would have to be-
“Who’s gonna sing then, after you leave?” The youngest Largo demanded of Mag, after spinning her around.
“Amber, please, it’s not my place.”
Amber’s brothers began to gather around, taking the chance to rile up their sister.
“Someone must sing, why can’t it be me?”
“Sister, please.” Pavi interjected.
“Shut your face.” Luigi barked at her.
You grabbed tightly onto Mag’s dress as the siblings screamed at each other, fighting over which would inherit the company from their dying father. Mag did her best to calm you down until everyone’s attention was drawn to Rotti Largo, ordering his children to stop fighting.
Begrudgingly, the siblings settled down and listened to their father.
“Children, I would like to introduce you all to Y/n,” Rotti looked pointedly at Amber, “The new face of GeneCo.”
Rotti and Mag stood in front of you, preventing the screaming girl from lunging at you and shattering your face. Luigi and Pavi fought her off until her personal genterns came and escorted her away. It was hard to make out what her shrill voice was screaming at you. Something about killing you in your sleep.
“Y/n, huh? It’s nice to meet you.” Luigi greeted you with a smirk as he slowly buttoned up his new shirt. When had he torn the old one off, anyway? You had been warned that that was something he does, apparently. You couldn’t help but stare at the scars covering his bare chest.
“Those are some nasty scars,” you observed.
“You can stop by my room later and get to know them a little better.” Luigi started to approach you, but Mag rolled her eyes and pushed him away.
Your head whipped over to your right, where Pavi had grabbed your hand and was pressing against his- well, someone’s- lips. You quickly pulled your hand away from the unnaturally cold and leathery lips which didn’t seem to deter him in the slightest as he laid an arm over your shoulders.
“Pavi Largo,” he introduced in an obnoxious Italian accent, “I’m sure we’ll be getting to know each other a lot better.”
You chose to ignore his less-than-pure comment as you gingerly removed his arm from your shoulders. “Mhm,” you hummed with a tight-lipped smile.
Before you were forced to endure their advances any further, the man who retrieved you and Mag earlier informed the two of you that it was time for your mid-day performance. Your shoulders relaxed as you quickly grabbed her hand and skirted out of the reach of the brothers.
Suddenly, the opinion of the entire world was the lesser of two evils.
