Love and Loss

Chapter 12

Logos arrived at his room smiling. Despite the annoyed persona he put up he loved the infuriating interactions he had with the other two dark sides. It was strange, but not unwelcome, when it fully dawned on Logos that he was a dark side. Although he knew he'd miss some aspects of living with Roman, Patton, and Virgil at the end of the day, he made the right choice for Thomas, and more importantly, for himself. Thomas couldn't keep functioning with his Logic being too apprehensive to share his own thoughts, whether it was fear for the other's inevitable negative reactions toward him and his ideas or the fear of hurting their feelings, that part of him would serve no good for himself or Thomas. That was the major benefit, besides living with Janus and Remus, of being a dark side, he would be expected to make his point of view heard despite how immoral, unfun, or scary it may be. In other words, regardless of Patton's, Roman's, and Virgil's beliefs on the subject. Logos looked around his room, besides for some torn sheets and stray feathers his room was the same as before; it was a modernist approach with only the bare essentials- that would have to change. With a wave of his hand, his room was completely empty, a clean slate. Logos still wanted to keep practical, he was still Logic after all, but he desired to make his room his, not a room that could be mistaken for the guest bedroom. Thinking for a moment, the floors in his room turned to a ceramic tile, a good material for the floor of a science lab. He added a black lab table with indigo accents to the right side of his room then added shelving to store all his needed supplies, Bunsen burners, beakers, graduated cylinders, micropipettes, goggles, gloves, lab coats, thermometers, Azidoazide azide, excetera, excetera. Next to the lab table he added a sink, as any good scientist knows to wash their hands before and after ever experiment. On the left side of the room Logos added a TV and a coach, along with posters depicting all his favorite things. He decided that more shelving on the left side of the room couldn't hurt as well as he had a lot of books to place there. In addition, Logos added a door leading to his bathroom in the left corner. Looking at his new room Logos smiled. The left half now painted a great picture of who he was as a metaphysical human being. The right side also put Logos' interests and chemistry wired mind on display. Even now, he itched to start working on an experiment just for the heck of it, that was the thing he missed most about Thomas not pursuing a job in chemical engineering, the lab experiments. Logos went to call out for Janus and Remus because his bedroom was now comple- oh. Bed. Room. Frowning, Logos realized in all his excitement he forgot to make room for a bed but he couldn't just move all his other furniture over. Thinking back to Thomas' countless hours spent watching cartoons, he smiled knowing that She-Ra had helped find the solution. "Looks like watching animated shows wasn't a complete waste of time" Logos said, thinking out loud. With a flourish of his wrist, Logos expanded the ceiling of his room and then added Glimmer's floating bed in silver and indigo color scheme. "While I'm at it..." Logos took off the canopy of the bed and made the roof depict the night sky. His room was complete and Logos couldn't be more thrilled.  "Janus, Remus!"
