Introduction

As Juice is a man of extremes and eccentricities, some might look at his life partner - Prox - and breathe a sigh of relief upon noticing his laxer posture and friendlier smile. 

But looks deceive: inside of Prox boils rage and jealousy, resentment and frustration, bottled by his debilitating illness: without constant validation, Prox is damaged. Any insult, snub, or disregard he suffers flakes away at his body until just blood remains. Only others' sweet words and compliments can reverse the process. 

A lifetime of having his weakness manipulated for others' gain and no seeming explanation for his disability has poisoned Prox. His persona is bright, cheerful, helpful, charming, but his utter hatred for the people around him and their disregard for how lucky they are sours any relationships. His only companion? Party, devoted to protecting him, born hand-in-hand. 

And now here they are, new arrivals in the Mags' collective. Supposedly their peers, supposedly their equals. And yet none are afflicted with the same disease Prox is. So how much can he actually trust them...?
