The Magician and The Mad King

(Maxwell Carter/William Carter RP, mun is 18+) Good evening, good evening ladies and gentlemen; we do thank you so sincerely for spending tonight with us. My partner and I have a performance for you that you will never forget.

[theamazingmaxwellcarter]

Wilson walked up behind Maxwell, he stifled a giggle before he thought of a way how to scare him. He suddenly pulled out a stick with a fake spider on it. He dangled it over his shoulder and began to make it bounce on his shoulder. Wilson then made the noise the spiders usually made in the constant. Somehow. He stood behind him, only a short little thing, smiling brightly. He surely thought this prank would work.

Well he certainly succeeded in making him jump. Upon feeling the touch on his shoulder, Maxwell leapt to his feet with all the quickness his tired body would allow, cursing all the way.

“Christ almighty, Higgsbury! What the hell?!”

[wilson-higgs2-blog]

Wilson stared at Maxwell, he smiled and walked closer to Max. Why wasnt he leaving? He chuckled and kept smiling up at him. “ I want to make sure you’re feeling well! Plus… you said you needed food!” He picked up Maxwell’s clothing then- he just began walking away. “ Follow me!” He giggled happily, joyfully taking the ‘lead’ as he began walking to his camp with Maxwell’s clothing.

[theamazingmaxwellcarter]

“Higgs-! What the hell?! Why are you taking my coat and shirt!” he called out after the scientist. “I need those! Bring them back it will be dark soon you absolute buffoon!”

[theamazingmaxwellcarter]

Maxy, you've lost quite a bit of got dapperness, haven't you?

He drew back squinting with a mild smirk. “Well that’s quite rude, darling. Whatever do you mean?”

[charliests40]

Charlie slowly facepalmed “ …. There…” she sighed and smiled “ We will talk about it later.” She snapped her fingers and a table appeared with a feast on it. She smirked, and a table was there for Maxwell “ eat whatever you want.” She kissed his cheek gently, smiling brightly “ Enjoy your feast my dear~”

[theamazingmaxwellcarter]

He was frankly so absorbed with the prospect of finally having something to eat that he missed her exasperation entirely. His first instinct was to grab as much as he could and scarf it down to silence the growing pang in his gut and to steady his trembling limbs, but he knew overindulgence would hurt him far more than help him.

Giving Charlie a weak smile of gratitude, he sat and began to pick at what he could, taking things slowly to ensure that he kept everything down.

[charliests40]

Charlie smiled sweetly, she watched and soon giggled “ Take as much as you want dear.” She walked beside Maxwell and put a hand on his shoulder, grinning adorably

[theamazingmaxwellcarter]

He paused, looking back up at her as she spoke and giving her a small smile.

“Thank you, darling… This… This certainly will make life a little easier for the next few weeks…”

[charliests40]

Charlie stared at that smile before she smiled back “ Your smile was always adorable Maxy.” She sighed and sat beside him, leaning against him and smiling. “ You dont need to thank me Maxy.” She looked up at him “ Just eat as much as you want. ” she sighed softly, thinking about quite a bit of things. She got quiet.

[theamazingmaxwellcarter]

He chuckled softly as she flattered him and kept eating. He quickly noticed her silence after a moment however and gently put his free hand on her knee. He was there if she wanted to talk, but if she wanted to simply sit and be in each other’s company, he was fine with that as well.

[theamazingmaxwellcarter]

So I guess this blog is back from the dead again?

Looking to start some new threads if anyone is still around and interested! Message me and let me know!

[theamazingmaxwellcarter]

Woo the queen !!! Woo her!!!

“I assure you that she doesn’t want anything to do with me, especially in that sense. Those days are far gone.”

“Christ almighty, Higgsbury! What the hell?!”

[wilson-higgs2-blog]

“It’s not. I gave you a scare and risked your wound worsening.” Wilson was almost finished, he glanced up at Maxwell and sighed ever so softly. “ You know Maxwell, no matter what I say, no matter what I do, I still care for your safety.”  He began wondering about the man, not paying attention to what he was doing. Suddenly he lout out a loud trumpet noise and pulled his hand out, taking the hound took out of his own thumb. Nice one idiot.

[theamazingmaxwellcarter]

Maxwell was absolutely baffled by Wilson’s admission of caring about him. It made no sense, and therefore he was highly suspicious.

“You shouldn’t, Higgsbury. I’m hardly someone worth worrying over.” He had just turned away when he heard Wilson cry out however, prompting him to lift his head once more to investigate.

“Are you alright there?”

[wilson-higgs2-blog]

“ oh please, I worry about everyone.” He giggled and winced “ y yeah I just… pricked myself. ” his thumb was bleeding, he wiped it off of his shirt and began stitching up Maxwells wound again. He was bleeding quite a bit…. but he still cared about Maxwell. He finished and smiled brightly, sucking on his own thumb to try and stop the bleeding. He stopped and smiled brightly “ there ya go! All stitched up!” He pulled out some honey poultice and began gently applying it to Maxwells wounds, smiling brightly. He was getting a bit too handy.

[theamazingmaxwellcarter]

As soon as the suture had been completed, Maxwell pulled his arm back and waved Wilson away.

“Thank you, I can take care of it from here. See to yourself now,” he said, smearing a bit more of the poultice before beginning to redress the wound with bandages. The odd little man was very... Touchy. He wasn’t sure how he felt about that.

[theamazingmaxwellcarter]

Maxy, you've lost quite a bit of got dapperness, haven't you?

He drew back squinting with a mild smirk. “Well that’s quite rude, darling. Whatever do you mean?”

Ravish the queen

“You’re all highly concerned with my sex life, aren’t you? And regardless, take note of the power disparity here. If anyone is to do any ravishing, it certainly wouldn’t be me.”

[theamazingmaxwellcarter]

He dangled it over his shoulder and began to make it bounce on his shoulder. Wilson then made the noise the spiders usually made in the constant. Somehow.

Maxy, you've lost quite a bit of got dapperness, haven't you?

He drew back squinting with a mild smirk. “Well that’s quite rude, darling. Whatever do you mean?”

[charliests40]

Charlie giggled and smiled “ There’s that smile!” She patted his cheek gently before she sighed. She wanted to hug him. So badly! She wanted to hold him tight and never let go. But she didnt know if that’s what he wanted. So she smiled up at him “ While we’re here… is there any way I can help you? Any supplies you need? I’m sure… I’m sure they won’t mind.” She giggled a little and smiled up at him. Pure happiness was seen in her eyes.

[theamazingmaxwellcarter]

He reached out hesitantly, but finally summoned up enough courage to wrap his arm around her waist. His grip was loose, so that she could easily back away if she so chose, but just firm enough to let her know he was there.

“I haven’t eaten in a few days,” he said softly, “but you know They don’t take kindly to Puppetmasters handing out favours…”

[charliests40]

Charlie glanced at the arm wrapped around her waist. She smiled happily and leaned closer to Maxwell, sighing a bit “ Well I’m sure they wont mind. Especially if we are making a deal ” she wanted to hint Maxwell onto her plan to trick them. She smiled sweetly up at him and winked, giggling. She put her hand on the arm that was wrapped around her waist and she smiled faintly, she doesnt mind being held. “ What would you like to eat dear?”

[theamazingmaxwellcarter]

“I’m not picky, darling... But what is this deal you have in mind? What are the terms?”

[theamazingmaxwellcarter]

Quickly maxwell!! Say Charlie!! Reply to her question with " I wanna eat you " do it!! Please!!

He couldn’t help but blink in shock. “I... I frankly don’t believe that that is an appropriate response to the fact that I’m quite literally starving...”

[theamazingmaxwellcarter]

Wilson walked up behind Maxwell, he stifled a giggle before he thought of a way how to scare him. He suddenly pulled out a stick with a fake spider on it. He dangled it over his shoulder and began to make it bounce on his shoulder. Wilson then made the noise the spiders usually made in the constant. Somehow.

“Christ almighty, Higgsbury! What the hell?!”

[wilson-higgs2-blog]

Wilson clenched his fists, he couldn’t let Maxwell just accept death. He went over and moved Maxwell’s hands away from his wounds. He took off whatever Maxwell had on his torso forcibly, but gently. He huffed “ I’m not letting you just accept your death. It would be wasting supplies if I used it on myself.” He shoved a piece of cloth in Maxwell’s mouth, taking action. The cloth was clean, thank goodness. “Bite on this.” He suddenly pulled out his sewing kit and stared at the wound. He was going to sew him up. Unless… he was stopped.

[theamazingmaxwellcarter]

Wilson moved so quickly that Maxwell hardly had a second to react. Gagging on the cloth that had been practically shoved down his throat, he spat it out only to realise that somehow between those two moments that his shirt had been removed as well, leaving his skinny torso bare for all to see. Embarrassed heat rose into his face and he pinched the bridge of his nose in irritation.

“Fine. Fine. If I let you sew the bloody thing up will you leave me alone for Christ’s sake?”

[wilson-higgs2-blog]

“Yes. Maybe.” Wilson mumbled the maybe part, he booped Maxwell’s chest before giggling and moving onto the wound. He began gently sewing it up, being as gentle as he could. It was rather hard though, the hounds tooth on the end on the thread that acted as the needle tore more skin open than needed. Wilson was getting quite a bit of blood on his hands. He smiled widely, he didn’t seem to mind the blood. In fact… he stared at it. Entranced by it. He smiled and kept working. “Maxwell I’m sorry for playing that stupid prank on you earlier. I just… I just wanted to have a little bit of fun since things have been really depressing around here…”

[theamazingmaxwellcarter]

Maxwell’s nerve endings were so damaged from years and years of torture, he frankly hardly felt the horrible makeshift needle piercing his skin. He was a bit unsettled by the small man’s apparent fascination with blood, he would admit, but he tried not to think about it too much.

“It’s fine,” he mumbled. Truly it had been entirely harmless. Annoying, but harmless.

[theamazingmaxwellcarter]

Maxy, you've lost quite a bit of got dapperness, haven't you?

He drew back squinting with a mild smirk. “Well that’s quite rude, darling. Whatever do you mean?”

“Christ almighty, Higgsbury! What the hell?!”

[wilson-higgs2-blog]

Wilson;s eyes widened at the sight. Everything in his gut was telling him to laugh at this poor man, laugh at his terrible fate. Instead he sighed and walked over, fiddling with his own hands. When he smelt how it smelt, he winced and stifled down a gag. “Maxwell I- c can I offer some assistance please? I could help you….. w with… putting the honey poultice on!” He smiled kindly but, with a hint of nervousness. he looked at the tattered coat and sighed. He felt bad for that prank now. He looked at Maxwell, his eyes filled with remorse. What was this idiot up to now? 

He smiled and pulled out more honey poultice “I have quite a lot, I’ve been saving up but … you need it more than I do.” This man wanted to help the poor fool who trapped him in this world. How sweet.

[theamazingmaxwellcarter]

Maxwell blinked in surprise as Wilson came even closer but paid little mind to him, busy with treating and redressing his wound, until he spoke. Why on Earth was he trying to help him?

“It’s fine, Higgsbury. Save your supplies, you’ve been generous enough as is,” he replied quietly, staying intent on his work.

[wilson-higgs2-blog]

Wilson sighed and stared “Maxwell you and I both know that… that wound is infected. It is only a matter of time before…” He winced, he couldn’t say it. He was familiar with it, every day he died over and over again. But he could never bring himself to say it. “… Please just let me help you. I’ve got a sewing kit and I know basic medicine, I can stitch up that wound nicely. Then it’ll heal faster. Please Maxwell…. let me help you.” He smiled kindly, what was this little monster up to??

[theamazingmaxwellcarter]

“I know, Higgsbury,” he said, finally looking back up at him. There was something new on his face, with the pride and annoyance scrubbed away there was simply weariness. A fatigue and resignation that seemed to run into the very depths of the older man’s soul. “I’ve been in this game long enough, I’m no fool. This will likely kill me. Unfortunately enough, however, I just simply can’t seem to stay dead so there’s no use in wasting your supplies or time.”

[theamazingmaxwellcarter]

Maxy, you've lost quite a bit of got dapperness, haven't you?

He drew back squinting with a mild smirk. “Well that’s quite rude, darling. Whatever do you mean?”

[charliests40]

Charlie scoffed at him and continued to approach him. When she got to him she grabbed the end of his tie and pulled his face down, whispering in his ear in such a threatening way. “ I don’t offer crooked deals. I think my deals through. Plan everything. And I don’t punish people when they refuse. I accept it. And I’m sure you have, mean while I’ve had my fill of being locked up in the darkness with no one around. Do you know how it feels to be waiting for someone you loved to safe you? Everg day crying to the point where no more tears could come out? ” she let go of his tie and glared up at him angrily “ do you KNOW how it FEELS to be left alone by someone you thought you could love and trust?!” She was beginning to get angry. The end of her hair slowly becoming shadow like flames. If she wasnt calmed down soon, hell would break loose. “ Do you know how it feels to call and scream for help but to only have no one answer you?!” She began to tear up, she was still pissed though. “ I wanted to make a deal so we could be closer. You would have power. You could do anything you want with the power. You know I cant help them. They dont allow it.”

[theamazingmaxwellcarter]

Something that she hadn’t seen in a long time flashed through his eyes as she spoke. Shame. He knew what he had done to her, he knew, and everyday he tormented himself, playing their past over and over in his mind, seeing what he could and should have done differently; anything that would have prevented her from falling into the mess he made. She had found his weakest point.

Breaking her gaze he stared at the ground and ran his hand through his greying hair, shaking his head. “I know, darling. I know,” he mumbled, “Do whatever you wish. It’s truly of no consequence what happens to me…”

[charliests40]

Charlie stared and frowned a bit. She had smirked at the shame, but when he mumbled, she sighed. She began to calm down, her hair going back to normal. She couldn’t let herself become that monster. She smiled and walked up to him, cupping his cheeks gently. She gently rubbed his right cheek, smiling as if they were back in San Francisco. “ It’s okay. I shouldn’t dwell on the past and neither should you. ” She sighed. She couldn’t harm him. She just wanted to make him happy… “ So cheer up Maxy. Okay?” She let out an adorable giggle, soon giving him that cheerful smile before they would perform on the stage “ I can’t stand to see you so unhappy…”

[theamazingmaxwellcarter]

He couldn’t help it; he flinched slightly as she brought her hands to his face. It had been ages since someone had touched him without the intent of hurting him, so her gentleness startled him. However the second that he saw her smile, he absolutely melted, falling for her over again as he did every time she gave him that smile. It was warm, it was familiar, it was loving. It made it easy to forget where they were and what was happening to them. Perhaps that’s what he needed, if only for a little while, just to forget.

Giving her a tired little smile, he nodded. “Anything for you, my dear...”

[theamazingmaxwellcarter]
