Roman's Influential Orb

The Voices

Roman and Virgil get Roman's voice back and Roman is finally complete.

I changed into the clothes that were left on my desk and looked into the mirror. A checkered dark purple and indigo long sleeve t-shirt and dark red tracksuit pants with purple on the outsides. As I looked closer I could only just make out some golden swirls that transitioned into small flowers. Nice, I might actually wear this around. The closer you look at it the better it is...

"Heh-hem." I heard from outside. Oh right, we're supposed to be trying to get my voice back.

As I opened the door and walked out, the gasp of surprise was clearly audible. Did he just gasp at me?

"......" No use, I can't say it.

"Well Princey, let's go. I'll tell you about some of my adventures on the way to help pass the time."

"Thank you."

"Don't mention it."

We've been walking for a while now and still haven't found my voice. I've learned a great deal about my inner mind.

"And then Eli said that he wished you were more confident and could wear those amazing makeup looks, he didn't really want to get along with Sensitivity but I think I convinced him, then he gave me his sword and I went to fight Hostility."

I continue to listen to Virgil and even more time passes until we hear a laugh from the ceiling. Both of us stop and stand silent until "BOO!"

"Ah." Virgil and I say in unison.

The trait starts laughing as he rolls on the ground, "Oh,ha ha ha should a seen ha ha ha your ha faces ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha."

He spot us looking at him and changes his demeanour very quickly, "Oh sorry, I really should have introduced myself." he says with a bow. "I just thought that you guys were Laura and Cloud, they had been searching for me and I figured now would have been as a good a time as any to scare them, you guys looked so engaged in that conversation."

Virgil and I shoot each other an inquisitive look.

"My name is Voices, well that's not my real name but forgive me if I don't trust you just yet, hello darling Virgil and Roman." The last word was said with venom and spite.

"You should not have brought him, I would have probably surrendered for you but him. He reminds me of everything I do not want to be the voice to, Single. I cannot live with myself to be the voice of a single man, have I not done good voicing, is it my fault, no no I can't live."

"If I get him to date, will you go back in."

"I suppose, but how do I know you'll keep your promise."

"I promised Sensitivity that he would wear the outfit we made and that is exactly what he is wearing, Do you think I will break my promise?"

"No, Thank you for convincing us to get Roman back together, we really do love him though he can be a little insufferable at times. Also, if you didn't belong to Roman I think I would consider taking you for myself, though Veronica would be obsessed and the others would fight me. I think you've earned a special place in all our hearts. You even convinced Hostility to give you a bandage. Don't worry Roman, your voice is coming back to you."

He disappeared and lo and behold, he must have gone to the mind because... "Hey Virgil."

"Yeah?"

"Do you wanna go tell Logan and Patton what happened?"

"Yeah, but first be prepared for me to be sticking by your side for a while. I have to fulfil all of the promises I made to your traits."

"Fine by me." But my mind couldn't stop itself from lingering on the last promise made, he'll get me to date, but who? could it possibly be him? I'd like that.

My traits kept bringing up my feelings for Virgil so I know he knows, he knows I know he knows, all that's left is to see what he'll do about it.

We walk up to Patton and Logan, or should I say Paon and Loan. I like those names, then there's Roan and Viil or Viril. Not bad, not bad at all. Who knew that new nicknames could stem from losing my ability to talk.
