A NEW ROOM! Remus was jumping about like a kid on Christmas as Deceit just stared at him. Logan had managed to convince Roman to create a new large room for the two dark sides to bunk in while they work on figuring out what happened to Deceit. Now that everyone knew including Morality, who got an earful from Roman after that whole event in the kitchen, Deceit was starting to calm down a bit. He was so scared because he didn't understand what was going on or who anyone was. Logan helped to explain it. No one here was a stranger, just older. Even Remus...

Deceit smiled a bit seeing the other laugh as they ran over to the window messing with the blinds. The green man he felt so safe with just so happened to be his best friend all grown up. Deceit watched as Remus opened the window only to burst out laughing as these two singing bluebirds began to fly around him. Remus swatted at them both with a hiss which only made the younger laugh harder. Some things never change. Remus slammed the window shut the moment the birds left with an annoyed huff.

"Why Roman had to be so... Disney, I have no idea. Way too much fluff and, egh, cutesy shit." Remus glanced over at Deceit who was still laughing and smiled a bit. At least the other was calming down a bit. "So, Dee, any idea's on what you want for the room?"

"Not yellow." Remus chuckled as the smaller one looked around. He walked over to this corner and smiled, pointing at it enthusiastically.

"You want your bed to go there?" Deceit nodded as he jumped back seeing Remus grinning. "Whatever you want." At first, Remus summoned a pretty big bed. Well, it was the bed Deceit had begged him for when he had gotten older. It was memory foam and all that jazz. But as the seconds ticked away it slowly shrunk till it was the right size for Deceit. Remus snapped summoning Deceit's old soft yellow comforter and pillows, making the bed just before Deceit jumped up on it with a laugh.

"Don't you think there shouldn't be any green?" Remus narrowed his eyes in confusion as Deceit looked around a bit. Pointing at the corner diagonal from where his bed was. "You shouldn't put your bed over there. Green and yellow... They sure don't go together nicely huh?"

"And here I thought I was Creativity." Remus laughed as he waved his hand summoning his bed with all his stuff on it with a smile. To be honest he just wanted to make the room cozy for Deceit. He was more than capable of sleeping out on the couch but what Dee wanted goes. So he smiled as he laid back looking up at the ceiling. He narrowed his eyes before waving his hand across the air blacking out the ceiling with only dots to fill the space. It wasn't a star scene so to speak. It was just a bunch of dots... but the dots did form a shape. A snake curled up around a flower. Deceit smiled as he laid back seeing the picture above him. Even now the once small and hyper dark creativity managed to do things others wouldn't peg him for. No wonder he was so familiar. No wonder he reminded Deceit so much of that crazy wild friend of his. He was Remus. "Welp might as well go crazy huh?"

"What?" Remus jumped up clapping his hands so loudly Deceit was forced to steel himself. He was a snake after all... The only snake with ears to be overly sensitive to sound with... When he finally opened his eyes he was in awe. The room was no longer that dull grey color, empty, or cold. It was full of life. The walls were an ash green. The carpet was an almost banana color, the actual fruit not the peal. There were dressers and desks covers with pictures and papers. A toy box placed beside the door filled with toys. But what caught Deceit's eyes the most was the giant habitat in the corner closest to his bed. He jumped up quickly running over. almost tripping, as he made his way to peek inside. His heart nearly stopped beating. There sticking his head out from below a rock tunnel was a snake. It wasn't very large meaning it couldn't have been that old but it was large enough to know it wasn't a baby. Deceit almost started crying again.

"You should name it Draco. It was a name you liked after all." Draco? Deceit glanced back at Remus with this confused look only to find the man staring at the door with an almost anxious look. "Actually, maybe I should..."

"I don't like it. Thanks, Ray!" Deceit just sat there staring at his new snake as Remus quietly left. He wasn't totally sure how this was going to work out. Considering everyone seems to hate him. Ok not everyone but... definitely Roman. Speaking of which...

Remus paused as he entered the commons finding everyone there chatting away. Happy little songbird about to be shot down but the cold gripping reality they were currently thrust into. Remus didn't make a sound. He was still feeling like shit over his episode in the kitchen. He fully expected them to take Deceit and push Remus away but instead, Logan pressed for a spare room. He didn't understand the point in all of this. None of them would ever understand him. Not like the other dark sides. 

"So, Roman I've been thinking..." Remus tensed up wanting nothing more than to run the moment Virgil started talking. The last time he 'ease dropped' on a conversation. He was sent down a fricking spiral. "Maybe you should actually talk to..." Remus ducked out towards Logan's room before he could hear anything more. He didn't want to. It was probably about him anyway. He just needed some help. The only one he knew to look at thing objectively and not bias was Logan. So... Remus decided to lean on Logic for a bit.
