Writing Prompts

2. Outsider

Logan's POV

I never really 'fit in' with the other sides, but after this, I became more of an outsider than I had ever been before.

Janus had been accepted. Even Virgil was okay with it. I had been replaced. Janus was smart and the others listened to him. They didn't need me anymore.

Maybe I should 'duck out' like Virgil did. No, as much as I dislike the current situation I do not wish to harm Thomas.

So what are my options?

I started to write out a list to see my choices. (Skipp to the next bold part this is mostly just  a waste of time unless you wanna read it)

'Duck Out',

Possibly run away into the imagination just so I don't have to deal with the others anymore.

Join the darksides.

Pros Of Ducking Out; I wouldn't have to deal with the stress of being Logic, I could express my emotions more freely without the fear of the other sides losing their respect for me, and I would be able to dress how I want other than the 'uniform' we are assigned when we appear in the mindscape.

Cons Of Ducking Out; Thomas would lose all Logic making it nearly impossible for him to function, I would be unable to leave my room and interact with the other sides the lack of social interaction possibly causing insanity and I would worry the others and I do not want to waste their time with my internal crisis.

Conclusion: Do not 'Duck Out' because of the possible insanity of both me and Thomas.

Pros Of Running Away: I would not be bothered by the other sides, I could be summoned if I was really needed, I could go to the library in Roman's Village every day, I would have the opportunity to converse with any of the townsfolk and may even find someone with common interests, I would be able to dress how I want other than the 'uniform' we are assigned when we appear in the mindscape and I could express my emotions more freely.

Cons Of Running Away; The other sides would be concerned, I would still have to deal with more logical problems that Thomas faces, Roman and Remus could easily find me and force me to come back, I could get hurt by the many magical animals and plants there, I do not know if my presence in the Imagination may have an effect on anything and the people in the Village may not be welcoming.

Conclusion; Do not run away because of the unknown dangers of the imagination.

Pros Of Joining The 'Darksides'; I would be with Remus and I must admit that man interests me, Remus doesn't judge me for anything, If I wanted to be left alone I know the darksides would respect my wishes, I would never let the any of the other sides know this but Remus has comforted me when my emotions overwhelmed me, Logic is more of a neutral side so it is less likely have an effect on Thomas and Remus said that the other darksides would welcome me with open arms.

Cons; Patton will probably end up labeling me another one of his 'dark strange misunderstood children', I am only aware of Remus and Remus' descriptions of the other darksides so I do not actually know if they are a danger, The others may dislike this decision and there may be some process to changing sides that I am unaware of at this point in time.

Conclusion; Join the darksides from what I have heard they will accept me for who I am and will not judge or ignore me.

(Skip to here.)

So joining the Darksides is my best option.

I'm not sure how I feel about that.

'Feel?' What am I thinking? Logic is not supposed to feel.
