Roman's Influential Orb

The Sensitivity.

Virgil meets Sensitivity.

In the middle of the hallway in Virgil's path stood a giant teddy bear. It was pastel purple with one eye shut and the other eye was a light turquoise. In the teddy bear's lap sat someone crying.

"Do you know how *sniffle* long *sniffle* I have waited for this. And now I can't stop bawling." As he finished his sentence he broke into tears.

/Sensitivity/

/What?/ Virgil thought.

/It's his name. I thought you might want it./ The voice sounded Stage Performance.
/Well done. It is me, Stage Performance./

/Thanks for the help,Stage Performance./

As Virgil returned to the real world, he noticed that Sensitivity was still crying.

"Aw, Sensitivity. What's wrong?" Virgil cooed.

"How. do. you. know. my name?" Sensitivity sounded angry.

"Stage Performance told me."

"That jerk. Thinks he's my friend, Well he's not. He barricaded me, Convinced me to conceal. But no longer-"

"He's sorry. He's really sorry." Virgil interrupted.

"Really?" Sensitivity said through tears.

"Yes really. He promised to be better."

"Oh you're a saint. Whatever would Roman do without you."

"I'm not sure I know what you mean."

"Oh but Veronica only cares about love. Stage Performance was cruel to me but now he'll only care about Performance's. The Demon is mean. And Confidence doesn't have the same style. He wants Roman to wear confident clothes and I want him to wear pastel and I want Veronica to let me help with the creative ideas. No one ever lets me help. It's all 'If you help. Roman will cry. Do you want that?' crying is healthy sometimes but they never let me or 'I don't think you're quite old enough.' I'm as old as they are perhaps older but no-one cares. Just cause I look young that means that no-one listens to me. Ugh, I thought I'd have power once I was out but no I just can't stop crying." Sensitivity continued.

"Uh"

"So what I was trying to say is can you help me pick out Roman's outfit?"

"Huh."

"I know you're on a mission but if you help me and make sure Roman actually wears it for the day then I'll happily retreat to the mind and I'll even give you a tip as to where Confidence is. Please,please,please,please,please,please,please..." As Sensitivity ended his speech the puppy dog eyes were turned on. And Virgil realised that he can't resist Roman's puppy dog eyes. Virgil was thinking I never knew they were that strong.

"Ugh fine. But you do know my style is emo right.

"Uh yeah. That's why I picked you. Also cause you can make him wear it but I think a pastel emo/alternative look is what we should be going for. It'll make him irresistible."

"Yeah... You do know I'm the one Veronica was getting all excited about."

"No way. You're like the cutest thing EVER! I understand why they were so excited now. Damn, Roman has good taste. You're like so purple and purple is my favourite colour. It recently changed and I wondered why. It was gold and then suddenly my brain was overtaken by purple and I just had to get like every single purple thing. And then once you look past your emoness and purple you're actually a really really cute softy. Your a purple puff and you need love and affection. But you are also so scared,anxious and paranoid. You feel like if you reach out you will only harm the other with your thorns. Awww poor baby. You need a hug." Virgil became engulfed in a hug.

"H-How did you know that?"

"It's what I can give to Roman. I can read people at first glance. Sure it's cool but it is only useful in business deals or for finding a boyfriend or some good friends. But Roman isn't in business deals and he has the rest of that."

"I'm sure the others will learn to appreciate you."

"Hmm maybe. Well let's go on to make Roman a Pastel Alternative god."

Maybe this won't be so bad Virgil thought as he let Sensitivity lead the way. He didn't realise that he hadn't checked the hourglass in a while.
