     Roman just needed a little more time before he could respond to Thomas summoning him, he needed to finish writing a scene while he was still in the right mindset for it. It was a darker scene, difficult to get in right the headspace for. He'd ask Remus for help, but Remus would never let it go if he found out what the story was about, and his brother was already insufferable enough. Roman would find himself interrupted in his progress by no other than Virgil, who seemed rather annoyed as he appeared in the room.

"I'll be there in a moment, I just have to finish writing this down." Roman assured him, waving his hand dismissively as Virgil crossed his arms and leaned against the wall. "Yeah well Thomas needs you in the surface. He has yet another dilemma for us to solve... What are you doing anyway? Didn't we finish the writing for the next video?" Virgil asked, seeming indifferent as he lazily looked around the room. Looked exactly how he'd expect from a theatre nerd like Roman. Said theatre nerd sighed in dismay as he leaned back in his chair, muttering to himself as he put away the quill he was writing with.

"Forget it, I'll finish later." He muttered, ignoring Virgil's questions as he closed the ink bottle and put a stack of papers into the drawer. Virgil was suddenly next to him as he did, and Roman jumped from shock as Virgil yanked the drawer open. He saw on top of the pile was a title page, stating: 'A Prince That Won't Stand Aside; a Disney Inspired story written by and starring Roman, Virgil, Janus, Patton, Logan, and Remus Sanders.'

"You're writing a Disney Story about us? Now this I have to read!" Virgil cheered as Roman shoved him away and closed the drawer. "It's not finished yet, and you aren't reading it." Roman insisted before locking the drawer. "Why not? I'm in it, heck my name comes second to yours! Why shouldn't I get to read it?" Virgil challenged, smirking as Roman rolled his eyes. "You'll just criticize it like you do everything else." Roman accused before disappearing, not wanting to continue this discussion. Virgil chuckled before creating a bobby pin and kneeling beside the dresser, figuring that Thomas could wait a little longer for him.

When Roman appeared, he had to wait for Logan to finish his explanation of the dilemma in order to wait in. Before Logan had finished his exposition, however, Virgil returned, and Roman's skin paled enough to match that of the smug looking side.

"Hey guys, guess what? Princey here has written his own Disney movie, about us." Virgil announced, causing Patton to cheer in excitement. "A Disney story? And I'm in it? Roman, I'm not touched by that at all!" Janus reacted with a hand to his heart.

"You're the main antagonist..." Roman muttered, causing Janus to roll his eyes. "I suppose that doesn't make sense..." Janus admitted. "You do get a redemption ark, though." Roman added, causing Janus to raise an eyebrow in curiousity. "Yes, that does sound rather interesting, but can we please get back to the matter at-" Logan began, interrupted by Patton and Thomas's excitement. "Wow Roman, that's so cool!" Thomas cheered.

"You aren't in it, or at least not starring in it, it seems." Virgil informed him. "Oh..." Thomas replied, seeming disappointed. "Thomas is the narrator, he's still in it, he just plays one of those loveable side characters that people care more about than the main characters themselves. Consider it the highest compliment." Roman informed them. "I can't believe it! This is so exciting!!! Can I read it?" Patton asked between squeals. "I can read it to you if you like Patton." Virgil offered. "No, no... It's not finished yet." Roman interjected, using his stretching arms to pull the papers out of Virgil's hands.

"Oh come on, doesn't the Prince of Hearts have one?" Virgil teased, trying to tug it back as Thomas looked away and gagged from the horrific sight before him. "You aren't reading it! Patton, sure, when it's finished. But you? No way hozay. What if your eyeshadow gets on it, Count Sadula?" Roman argued, making sure the stack was in order as he pulled it to his chest. "Roman, can you at least read the first scene to us?" Patton pleaded. Roman thought about it, then sighed. "Fine... I guess I am pretty proud of that scene anyways..." Roman began, then hesitated as he stared at the papers in his hands thoughtfully.
