The magician looked over the crowd as his assistant pushed away the table from the last Illusion. What he needed for his final trick, was a volunteer from the audience. Sure, there were a Women that were willing to volunteer before and didnt get a chance to do so, but they were either to small or to tall for his Plan. Till his eyes stopped in the third row. He spotted someone, that certainly didnt wanted to be here. Thinking back, he did notice the girl before, she was one edge since he first used a sword to impale his Assistant.
He smiled. "You know darling. Wanting to run away like that, just gives me more reasons to select you." he said and she froze for moment. With a snap did a Spotlight point at the girl, who tried to melt into the floor under her Seat. "Would you be so kind to come on stage, Sweetheart?" he asked, leaving no room to say no. And while the rest of the crowd cheered her own, did she walk forward. She grabbed his hand and let herself be pulled on Stage. "So, why did you try to flee. Especially so late in the act?" he asked.
The girl looked at the magician and took of her glasses. Showing that the frame was broken. "the guy next, hit me during the last trick with his elbow and now my glasses keep falling off." she said, handing them to the magician. "Okay, i can see the damage and i cant let you leave like that. so how about a deal. You help me with a little thing and i am gonna use magic, to fix your glasses." she rolled her eyes. "Okay, in that case i mean glue and my tools with magic. Magic just sounds more exiciting that saying, i am gonna glue your glasses, if you let me cut you into pieces."
She grabbed her glasses. "they arent that important." she wanted to say, but the magician already grabbed her shoulders and pushed her into a large box, made out of five smaller boxes, that his Assistant pushed onto the stage. "Sorry, darling, but i have to disagree." he said and took the glasses again. She rolled her eyes once more, as she checked out the boxes. "so what am i supposed to do? if i have to be here."
The assistant came into view, with a bunch of blades. "Its rather simple. We are gonna play a little game, once we close these boxes, will we push in these sharp blades. Dividing you into 5 adorable pieces and mix them around the stage. Till we think that you lost track, of each box. Then we will restack them and open each box, except for the one, with your cute face in. And then you have to say, if your head, chest, hips, legs and feet are in the right order. You then get three chances to change the order of any box. if you manage to sort yourself, we will remove the blades."
Now the magician stepped forward again. "And if not, will we just drop the boxes into a woodchipper. Making it an easy clean up." With out further interuption did the doors close on the girl. Only short yelp escaping, each time a blade got inserted. Followed by the magician picking up a box and throwing it to his Assistant. Who catched them and opened the doors. to allow the crowd to see that each box did indeed contain of the mostly unwilling volunteer.
Soon the Magician and his Assistant moved about, moving boxes, stacking them and unstacking them, till both needed to catch their breath. Before starting the restacking. going. chest,legs,head,hips and feet. "my head a bo upwards and my feet a box downwards?" The girl said. "Sorry, darling. we should have been clearer, you have to give us the number from the ground up. if you want us to move a box." the assistant said.
"Okay, move the first box two up and and the fourth box one down." she said. The Magician followed the instructions, by closing the doors and snaping his fingers. Switching the content as the doors reopened. Leaving her now chest, feet, legs, head and hips. "Two more tries" the assistant announced. The girl thought about it for a minute, before yelling out in frustration. The last swap gave her no information. she moved her body, in hops of figuring something out.
In that moment did she realise that her hands were free. Allowing her to reach outside of the box. Above her was nothing, meaning her chest was one bo to high and beneath her were her ankles and feet. "Okay, fourth box to the ground. fith box two boxes down." the magician followed her command again. with the Assistant reminding her that only one attempt was left.
Leaving her stacked as legs, head, chest, hips and feet.
With the doors open, did she feel around again. A closed box was above her hands, meaning head wasnt to far of. and her hips were beneath her hands. The girl smiled. "fith box three boxes-" And the magician cut her off. "sorry, but you just ran out of time." he said picked the first box up, containing her legs and threw them into the woodchipper, his assistant presented. Soon followed by the girls other pieces. "I hope you could all understand, that i couldnt just let her win." The magician said with a wink to the audience.
He then looked into the catch container of the chipper. "hmm, i can see wood and pieces of her outit, but nothing that looks like her body. Truly a mystery, but not my problem anymore." he said pulled out a blanket from behind his back. covering the container. With a cloud of smoke, did the wood vanish, only to be replaced by the girl, dressed in a bunny girl outfit and matching carrot in her mouth. "Maybe you dont need those glass-" she hit him with carrot before he could finish the sentence. The curtain fell, as we was still running away, from the angry bunny girl. Now determint to get revenge."
