Seán sat on his couch, scrolling through Tumblr while anxiously waiting for a sign that someone was at his front door. When he heard the doorbell ring through his home, he called upstairs to Evelien "I'll get it!" before rushing to open it. After fumbling with the lock for a second, the door swung open to reveal a well dressed man. This man's appearance would've been relatively ordinary if he didn't look like he was Seán's identical twin who just stepped out of the 1920s.

"Hey Jameson!" Seán greeted with a nervous smile. JJ replied with a huge grin and wave, followed by a hug.

Seán hesitated for a second before his smile became more genuine, hugging the dapper ego back. "That was a very enthusiastic greeting. Why's that?"

Jameson pointed at his mouth, opening and closing it, before gesturing towards himself and Seán. "You're happy because we're getting to talk and hang out one on one?" Seán guessed. He had been getting better at understanding Jameson's movements, but he still had trouble every so often. Jameson nodded happily in confirmation.

"I'll do my best to find the time to hang out together more," Seán promised. Jameson beamed before gesturing inside. "Oh, yeah! Come on in!"

Seán stepped out of the doorway and walked inside, Jameson trailing in after him. He sat down on his couch and motioned for his ego to do the same. "Do you want anything to drink?" Jameson shook his head and then tilted his head slightly to the side, waiting for his creator to begin speaking.

"So, I bet you're wondering why I wanted to talk to you today," Seán began. Jameson nodded.

"Well, as you know, Halloween is in a few days. Oh, happy early birthday, by the way!" Jameson gave Seán a broad smile before doing a little half bow of gratitude.

"Marvin's throwing the party at his house, right?" Jameson hesitated, nodding his head slowly, as if he was unsure of the exact location. "Wherever it is, I'll be sure to be there. Anyways, you know how I usually do a spooky ego related video for Halloween. There's one video that's very important to the plot that I think would make for a good video to post on the thirty-first. You would be the main character but..."

Seán was interrupted by Jameson, whose face lit up with happiness. "Hold on. Before you start celebrating, there's a catch. A very big catch." Jameson settled back down and waited patiently.

Seán hesitated. There was no way to sugar coat his next few words, so he decided to just rip the bandaid off. "The video would end with you as Anti's puppet."

He glanced at Jameson to see his reaction. To his credit, he looked thoughtful, his finger tapping on his chin. After a few seconds of that, his face lit up and he pantomimed writing on his hand.

"Oh, you need some paper! I'm sorry, I should have thought of that before." Seán shot up from his couch and went into the next room, grabbing a pad of paper and a pen before returning to the living room. He handed it to his ego, who began scribbling his thoughts down. After he was done, JJ presented the paper to Seán.

You mean puppet as in temporary control, right? Like what happened to Schneeplestein at the end of "Kill Jacksepticeye" and me at the end of my first video? That's alright with me, chap!

Seán winced. "No. I mean a legitimate puppet. With strings and everything." He examined Jameson's reaction. It was the most serious he had ever seen the dapper ego. JJ was usually very animated and was always either moving his hands or doing some sort of exaggerated facial expression. But now he was just sitting there, eyes vacant, lost in thought.
