Creativity blinked in confusion, where were they? After a moment of thinking They decided they had probably fallen asleep, but what is this place? It kind of looked like the mind palace but it wasn’t as brightly colored, maybe morality redecorated for some reason?
After a moment of confusion he shook his head and decided to see what morality did, He was sure it was amazing! Morality always does really cool stuff after all!
He was like- he hummed in thought for a moment, he's cool! Like super cool! He giggled to himself, where is morality anyway?
After a bit of wandering around not looking where he was going and instead looking at the walls and decor he ran into something- someone, was it morality?- or logic? or-
Who were these two?
They were two adults, one dressed in a white and gold outfit with a gold sash, he looked like a prince creativity noted excitedly, and the other one had a green and black outfit with a green sash, it was very extra, he liked it a lot he decided instantly
“Who are you?” The princely One asked softly, after all it was a child he was dealing with,
Creativity cocked his head to the side for a moment, before trying to be as fancy and extra as he could manage “why I’m creati- cre- creat-“ he paused and looked down trying to pronounce his title and once successful he looked up with an embarrassed but still happy a smile and bowed sloppily “I’m creativity of course!”
The extra one and and the princely one looked at eachother confused,
“Now! Who are you?” Creativity asked interrupting the two's silent conversation
Remus looked at the small kid before returning his gaze to Roman “should we tell him?”
Roman gaze became distressed with a sudden protectiveness because that might hurt the kid! “Rem no-“ he took a deep breath before turning to creativity and giving him their names, it would have to due, “im Roman and this-“ he gestured to Remus -“is Remus,”
Creativity looked at them confused for a second before lighting up, “you guys have names? I want a name! Like Emile! That’s a good name!”
Romans brain has left the chat and oh gosh Roman is already so protective of this kid, he knows he’ll probably disappear since both him and Remus can’t coexist with this creativity but oh gosh he’s so happy and small and adorable and-
Oh Roman understands Patton a lot more now
Speaking of Patton he should bring the kid to Patton,
He hummed before turning to Remus who from the looks of it was trying and failing to read his mind while he wasn't facing him,
He gave a airy laugh at that before speaking as the only responsible-ish smart-ish adult in the room “we should go see Logan and Patton, they’ll help make sense of this,”
Creativity bounced “who are they? Are they nice? Will they help me look for the step ladder? Will they help me when I fall off the step ladder? Though I am resilient! Do they have puzzles? And-“
Remus chuckled in his bouncy way and creativity gasped, his interest was immediately caught again, the last conversation already forgotten “how do you do that? Bounce! And wiggle and stuff!”
Remus was trying so hard not to full on laugh, he was trying to be serious (and failing- but he was trying! At least he hasn’t made a dick joke yet) he faked a thoughtful look “just… wriggle” he demonstrated and all of his ruffles wriggled with him
The kid gasped excitedly and tried that, unfortunately his outfit wasn’t ruffly so only his semi curly hair and puffy sleeves moved much to his dismay, he huffed, thoroughly annoyed
Remus was really trying not to laugh at this like 5-7 year olds shenanigans and Roman could see that so he took pity on him and took over, “hey wanna go hang out with some other people?”
The kid lit up again “yeah!”
Roman laughed softly and led the kid to Patton’s room, Remus following behind still barely containing his laughter though creativity didn’t seem to notice,
All of them were extremely confused and happy to see the kid again, patton and roman pretty much started trying to out-dad eachother with this kid which remus and virgil found extremely amusing, they all got attached very quickly,
But everything good has to end, after around 4 days the kid vanished, everyone knew it was gonna happen but still they were all devastated, after all, for some, it was the second time this lovably goofball of a kid just... vanished,
He was just trying to stop Creativity from doing something that would have gotten Thomas in trouble. He held on to Creativity's arm, just holding not pulling, in an attempt to stop him and get him to think of something else.
Roman stayed put with Patton, Remus pushed forward.

Deceit pouted to himself as Romulus laughed, after a moment romulus just chuckled silently to himself before wrapping his arms loosely around deceit.
Deceit still pouted though, “it was just an idea, I wasn’t planning on actually naming myself Gilbert.”
Romulus nodded “of course not sunflower”
Deceit looked at him almost offended at hearing Romulus’s sceptical and teasing tone “why would I name myself Gilbert? I wanna be named after a deity! Like a cool one!”
Romulus chuckled “of course,” he paused before speaking softly “what about Janus?”
Deceit paused “Janus..” he tried out the name on his Tongue “I like that!” He declared
Romulus smiled before pulling off of the deceitful side’s shoulders, then he summoned a bowler hat that was honestly way to big for de-Janus, and plopped it on his head,
Janus pushed the brim of the hat up so he could look at romulus with a questioning eye.
Romulus laughed softly, “how will people know you're a serious deity if you don’t have a top hat?”
He took his new hat off his head- he didn’t know if Romulus would want it back but no matter, it was his now. He looked at his hat, “This is a bowler hat.. also I Think I would be feared upon as a deity since I wear platformers to be tall.”
Romulus nodded seriously “the most feared upon goth sunflower god.”
Janus couldn’t help but laugh before he collapsed fully onto Romulus so he could use him as a pillow.
“Castle boy.”
“Sunflower goth.” Romulus retorted and Janus laughed before the conversation drifted into a comfortable silence.

Janus gripped his bowler hat tightly, holding it like a lifeline as he sobbed,
