I bit into the plate of pancakes, glancing over to Virgil every few minutes to make sure he was okay and to my surprise, he always was. These pancakes tasted pretty good "Hey Deceit, these are pretty good" I told him and his face was dusted pink "Are you blushing?" Virgil teased "No- I think he's constipated. It's okay buddy, I'm here for you" Remus patted his back and Deceit shook him away. I giggled at his reaction and everyone looked at me "I missed your laugh." Virgil laughs with me and soon everyone joins in. 

"Um- Guys.. It might be too early to say but- I- I think I might wanna stay.." 

Their eyes widened, Virgil covered his mouth and started crying. Deceit turned away from me and Remus was smiling happily "Really? Don't lie to me, Y/n. Because I swear- If you're lying-" Virgil had tears start to run down his face as he then brought me into a tight hug. "Let me in" Remus squeezed in and hugged us both. "Dee, come join our threesome circle" Remus waved Deceit over and he wrapped his arms around all of us.

"That mean's we'll have to get a new room" Remus got excited "Well we do have some blank rooms, we can get everything when we go to the store." Deceit tells me "Can we go?" Virgil asked "U- Sure, I'd love for everyone to join." Deceit smiled and everyone else cheered. "What stuff would we get?" I questioned "Well. You need a bed." Virgil shrugged "And something to put your shit in" Remus suggested "And some lights.." Deceit said.

I bit into my last pancake, finishing the whole plate "Actually- What time is it?" I asked. "Time moves slowly here. For us it's 12pm but for you and Thomas, it'd be some time around 5pm yesterday." Virgil told me and a part of me just died. "Thomas! Both of us are passed out on the ground right now!" I exclaimed "It's fine!" Virgil tried to calm me down "Wait- How is it fine?!" I was shaking slightly and Deceit lead me away from everyone into the kitchen.

"It's going to be okay, Thomas is just fine. Your physical body? It's alright. We can always get out of the mindscape and bring your physical body here if you get too worried." I wasn't so sure of that. "How is it fine though?" I asked in a worried tone "The sides can't keep Thomas out for too long, eventually he'll wake up." I nodded "and me?" Deceit thought for a moment "We'll have to get out of the mind, get to your physical body, and take you to the physical realm of the mind- That's way too complicated to explain-" Deceit tried telling me.

"Physical realm?" Deceit nodded "Like.. Have you been in any of the light side's rooms before?" I nodded "Well it's like that! Except- Well.. Thomas has this entrance in his house he doesn't know about which leads everyone into the physical realm.. If you go through there in your normal physical body then you'll get to here and then you won't have to worry about being knocked out on the floor." It was a lot to take in.

"When are we gonna do that?" I asked again and Virgil joined the conversation, popping in from behind us with Remus's mace "I bet they'll all be looking for us in the mind, so I'm sure no one will be able to find us outside." He commented "I'll go out and drag your physical body here but- be careful when I do." I cocked my head to the side "When your physical body meets the mind, It can get mixed up. You- in this state- will drop to the ground and wake up again in your body.. Unless... " Virgil shut his mouth.

"Unless?" I said again, hoping to get an answer. "I don't know what will happen if you don't because we've never really had to do this but- I'm sure it'll be fine." Virgil comforted me. "It will be, trust me" Deceit put his hand on my shoulder and I chuckled "Trusting Deceit?" He smirked at me "Yeah." I nodded "Alright then, I will" And then I left the kitchen to go see Remus.

Remus was on the couch putting on his shoes and packing some deodorant in his- bra that he was for some reason wearing.. cool? "Remus. Am I meant to be going with you guys to the-" he cuts me off "Nope! Just go shopping with Deceit and then wake up back here at home." He smiled at me and I felt a bit flustered at the end 'wake up at home?' I smiled back at him and I felt the other's presence.

"I wish you guy's luck. Y/n, let's go." Deceit beckoned me to go with him. I waved goodbye to the others and wrapped my arm around Deceit's, pulling him close to me in a friendly way. "What are you doing?" He asked me "I don't wanna get lost, why? Do you want me to stop?" Deceit looked away from me "I don't like it but it's okay, you don't have to stop." He told me. I laughed to myself quietly, was I making this guy flustered? 

"So wait- where are we going?" I felt like my head was getting further and further away with all these thoughts rushing through it. "It's basically all rip offs of real places." Deceit replied bluntly "Like- I don't know where you wanna go but we have.. Mindmart, Starbucks, Target, 7 eleven, home depot, and some other places made specifically for the mind palace." I nodded again to let him know I was listening "Like.. Thomas's House: The furniture store, DARK: Basically hot topic, Crofters: A grocery store that literally only sells crofters and crofters merch. There's more but I can't list them all." Deceit listed for me.

"Oh, can we go to Thomas's House?" Deceit nodded and opened up the car door for me "You have a car?" I questioned with a smirk "Well, yeah. All the sides have to do some racing across the mind scape" Deceit chortled.
