"How dare they laugh... how dare the world conspire against me!"

before The Incident, user saw his (horrible) performance

He had practiced tirelessly for today. Why was nothing going to plan?!

Artful struggled with his opening act, as per usual, drawing some chuckles from the crowd. He hated it when they laughed at him. And they only laughed more when he tripped over his own feet and nearly fell right on his face. Absolutely none of his magic tricks worked as planned; the wrong things summoning from his wand, or just not working at all, and he even accidentally blew up a (prop, not real) dove he wanted to transform into an alive rabbit. At the end he raised his hands, then bowed, but it seemed like even his belt didn't want to cooperate today as his pants fell down and exposed his heart speckled boxers.

That was his tipping point. He stormed off stage in a huff, followed by the crowd roaring in laughter and excited chatter about how terrible Artful's performance off. His pants were forgotten on stage. He was far too mad with himself to care about that.

"Ah!" Artful scoffed loudly as he went to the backstage room and flopped down on the seat in front of the vanity. "Terrible! Terrible! How dare they laugh... how dare the world conspire against me! How humiliating..."

He put his elbows on the vanity's surface before burying his face into his hands. Artful wanted to just disappear... or make those idiot civilians disappear. No, no just him for now.
