The Feathers of Laughter [Mission/bun]

EVELYN, YOU ARE OVERREACTING her mind screamed to her, but nonetheless she was clutching her numb fists, trembling and eyes flashing around. Her breath was quick and her palms sweaty. She did not qish to make a show and simply stood in the box, whispering a prayer and simply panicking... quietly. The crowd went quiet and she could see the saw entering, getting closer to her skin. But as it was about to cut her, she did not feel anything, and by tha, she meant absolutely nothing, not even the touch of the cold iron. She could see the portals but hardly believe her eyes. When Poker and the magician wound around to split the two boxes together, Evelyn shielded her pale face. Another strange thing was that she could see feel her legs quite well, as Poker began to tickle them, but she stiffled her laugh. She was not in th mood, and she just wanted to be put back together and carry on.

Poker could see Evelyn holding back her laughs as he continued to tickle her feet. In any normal situation he'd stop, but this scenario was definitely far from being a normal situation. Since Evelyn was holding back her laughs it looked like that the feet weren't even hers since there was no reaction from them whatsoever. This was bad news as the audience could see that and speculate that they were just a pair of fake legs that couldn't even twitch. In order to make it look more authentic Poker had to make sure Evelyn would laugh, and laugh like crazy. So he grabbed another feather and started to tickle both her feet so that she wouldn't be able to stifle her laughs anymore. After all, this was a place for smiles and laughter. That included the magicians assistants as well. He gave Evelyn a look and it was easy to tell what was on his mind "Come on now. Give the crowd one big laugh and I'll let you out."

Finally, seeing as Poker would not stop, she gave in and started fidgeting, laughing, not too loud, but still hearable. As a ragdoll person, Evelyn had a hard time feeling touch and through the fog in her mind, through all the shock, she had forgotten that the audience even expected her to do something. She felt a wave of nausea as she was taken backstage, and all she could think of was the wish to get as far away from both feather-boy and the mad magician. She cold only await for her job to be over, to go back home. "Stupid freaks." she muttered as the magician put her back together and she could stand up again. Evelyn dusted her clothing and plucked the feather out of her ponytail, letting her hair loose and taking time to breathe. "He could've at least warned me." she complained as the magician returned to the stage and she was left alone with Poker.

"Haha, looks like you enjoyed yourself out there~"

Poker teasingly said to Evelyn as he was chuckling at his own words. It was fun to watch her struggle as she tried to keep it all in. Even though they needed a little bit of help from the magician, Poker was proud of the fact that they were able to help him out and perform highly in this mission. He wasn't sure how many more tricks they needed to do before it was all over but Poker didn't mind spending more time there. He was actually enjoying it a lot after all. "So, do you want to finish this off with one last big bang or should we continue building up the erect out there with the kids?~"

Evelyn lifted her tank top half-way, examining her unharmed waist. She was still shocked by what happened, and thought it might have been helpful if the magician mentioned his powers before they had to go through all of this. She snorted, slightly pissed by Poker's sunny attitude and pulled her tank down, sighing. "Let's wrap this up. Hate to break it to you, but we might get ourselves discovered as gifted if we keep this charade up." she explained, taking out a hairbrush from her bag and taming a few unrully locks tangled together, pullign strongly at them until her hair was back a perfect cascade of blonde.

"How about we finish off with something big?" she suggested, quite out of ideas and wishing Poker had something good in mind. She thought it was his time for the boy to have his act too, since Evelyn felt like te spotlight had always been on her.
