Powers & Curiosity

Sympathetic!Deceit is in this chapter, so....

Logan

Patton and I were relaxing in the Commons when we were summoned by Thomas into the real world. Shortly after we arrived,Roman and Virgil appeared.

"Hey Thomas," Roman said.

"What's up?" Virgil asked. Thomas shrugged with a half grin. 

"I've just been thinking, And I had a few questions to ask you guys."

Things continued as a normal conversation between us all would go; arguing, emotional discourse, yadda yadda yadda. Then Thomas brought up this most illogical question when the others were discussing fantasy creatures: "Wait, since you're all imaginary, do you have powers?"

"Thomas, you do know how that would make no logical sense-" I started before Roman interrupted me.

"Of course we do, what did you expect?"

"Roman can conjure things whenever he wants, Logan read peoples minds, Virgil can make shadows move and lights get darker, and I can radiate my emotions around other people."

"Uh, it's a bit more complicated then that Padre."

"Yes, let's start with Roman's power. I still find the fact that any of us even do have powers ridiculous but what can I do. Roman, I believe, has the ability to warp space around him to form items already created into his current space, or creating things entirely new by pressurizing air molecules into whatever form he intends to make something take. Or, in simple terms, he can 'summon' anything in any place he's in."

"You coulda just said Summoning, Specs. But yeah, I can create anything." To show off his powers, he summoned his 'Perfectly Manicured Sword'. "I can also help people feel prideful or creative, but that's not important."

"Huh, okay," Thomas said. Then I started speaking again about my own powers.

"I have what you would technically call telepathy, yes, but I also have psychokinesis and I can influence others minds into doing something I believe is the most logical course of action. I don't use said power, though. I don't enjoy forcing others into thinking things they don't wanna do."

"Human language, Specs," Roman said. I rolled my eyes and continued speaking.

"Virgil's powers I believe are called Umbrakinesis. Or Light and Darkness Manipulation. Granted, Virgil only has the darkness manipulation whereas Patton has the light manipulation side of Umbrakinesis. Patton also has emotional mani-"

"Uh, I can send positive to emotions to anyone I want! And like Logan said, I can manipulate light!" Patton smiled. I was gonna say emotional manipulation. That would be a more accurate description of his powers.

"A- alright.... What about...... Deceit? Does he have any powers?"

"You called?" Deceit appeared. Thomas and Patton screamed. Why did Patton screamed??

"What are you doing, you slippery slimey snake?!" Patton yelled.

"I don't believe he is slimey-"

"Oh, Virgil, Roman, it's so great to see you around after everything recently."

"Oh shut it Lies-and-Dolls," Roman said.

"Hm." Deceit crossed his arms and all of us stayed silent for a moment. I cleared my throat.

"I believe you were summoned while we were discussing the topic of powers. Why don't you describe your powers to us and Thomas, as I don't even have a direct idea what your powers are."

"Wait, why does he have to explain his powers? How are we sure he even has pwowers?!"

"What is the proof he doesn't?"

"Yeah Virgil, what proof is there that I don't have powers? After all, who was it that erased the memories of Seth?" Deceit said smirking.

"Who?" I asked. Virgil glared at Deceit.

"Ja- Deceit, we made a dEaL."

"Virgil, calm down," Roman said.

"Yeah, Virgil, calm down so we can have a civil conversation for once sense Deirdre died."

"YoU hAvE nO rIgHt To TaLk AbOuT-"

"Virgil, take a breath-"

"Yeah Virgil, listen to Roman. He is the intelligant one of you all-"

"What is going on-"

"I apologize Thomas, I should have mentioned that Virgil and Deceit 'talking' usually escalates into arguments like these... And then Roman just has to get involved."

"It's fine Logan, I'm surprised things have already escalated this much." I looked at the imbeciles. Roman had his sword out (why he keeps that thing around is just confusing to me) and Virgil and Deceit were about to destroy each other. I sighed and sunk out. This is their mess to figure out and I wanted no part in their family squabbles.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ That was a strange chapter that I feel like took too long. I'mma go work on more descriptive versions of their powers in the Lore book..... tomorrow, I'm gona sleep now. By, Guys, Gals, and Nonbinary Pals! ✌Peace Out!✌
