"Hi, Lo-Lo~!"
"Ah, Remus." Logan mumbled, not taking his eyes away from his computer.
It had been about a week since Janus and Roman's date, and Remus had been informed by Janus that they were having another one in a couple of days.
"Did you need something?" Logan asked, glancing over at him briefly before snapping his eyes back to the screen.
"Yeah," Remus hummed, plopping down on Logan's bed. "Whatcha working on?"
"I'm proofreading Roman's script for the next skit." Logan murmured.
"Proofreading? What's that?"
"You're joking, correct?" Logan rose a brow, looking over at him. Remus tilted his head, but didn't reply. "You seriously don't know what proofreading is?"
"Well, sorry." Remus snorted. "Enlighten me, Wise Guy. What is proofreading?"
"To put it simply," Logan sighed, looking back at the computer. Remus walked over to Logan, and looked at the computer over his shoulder. "I'm checking for any errors in Roman's transcript."
"Errors?"
"Grammatical errors, logical errors, things of that calibre." Logan mumbled, typing something. "If I spot one, I fix it. It's as simple as that."
"Oh! Like when I said I wanted to deep throat the Eiffel Tower and you said 'that is not physically possible' all serious like!" Remus chirped.
"Exactly like that." Logan hummed, nodding slightly. He finished typing, and spun his chair around to face Remus. "So, what can I do for you?"
"So, remember when I asked you about a plan for splitting a couple up?" Remus smirked. "I have a little update on that."
"Oh joy." Logan grumbled. "And what is it?"
"Let's say, hypothetically speaking, that someone tried to stop you from doing this plan. What would you do?" Remus asked.

"Stop me? Explain how they would go about doing that." Logan rubbed his chin, and Remus could tell he was thinking. "Are they physically trying to stop me, or preventing my plan?"
"The latter."
"I would continue with my plan, paying them no mind." Logan shrugged, crossing his arms. Remus rose a brow, tilting his head.
"That's not what I expected. Why would you do that?" Remus rose a brow.
"As long as I can outsmart them, or finish my plan before they can do any real harm, they won't be of any harm." Logan turned back to his computer. "Is that all?"
"Outsmart them, huh?" Remus mumbled, crossing his arms. "Yeah, I think that's all. Thanks Lo-Lo!"
"You are welcome." Logan nodded, beginning to type something. Just as Remus was about to sink out, Logan suddenly turned back to him. "Oh, Remus! Before you leave..." He trailed off, pursing his lips.
"...yes?" Remus asked, raising a brow.
"Actually, nevermind." Logan shook his head, turning back to his computer. "Have a nice day, Remus."
"I'll try not to!" Remus chirped, sinking out.

"Roman!"
Roman whipped around, spotting Virgil walking towards him. "Hmm? What is it, Hot Topic?"
"Roman, there's something I have to tell you." Virgil told him, crossing his arms. "It's about Remus."
"My brother?" Roman asked, giving Virgil his full attention. "Is he alright? Did something happen?"
"He's fine." Virgil shook his head.
"Then can it wait? I have to get ready for my date--" Roman slapped a hand over his mouth. "Uh, I mean--"
"Chill, I already know." Virgil rolled his eyes. "And speaking of which, Remus--"
"Wait, what? Who told you?" Roman asked, furrowing his brow. "Was it Janus? I thought he wanted to keep it a secret?"

"No, I--it doesn't matter!" Virgil crossed his arms. "Listen, Remus has--"
"I'm sorry, Virgil. I really must be going." Roman shot him an apologetic smile.
"But--Roman--"
"Sorry!" Roman briskly walked away, causing Virgil to frown.
Virgil huffed, crossing his arms.

"Did you talk to him?" Patton asked the second Virgil popped into the common room.
"I tried to." Virgil grumbled, slumping onto the couch next to Patton. "He kept interrupting me."
"Aww, that's alright. We can tell him later." Patton hummed, leaning his head against Virgil's chest.
"That's what you said last time." Virgil frowned. "And the time before that."
"It's a wonder how Roman manages to stay so busy."
"I'm tired of counting on 'later,' Pat. Roman deserves to know now. It's his relationship!" Virgil sighed.
"I know, Virge. But if Roman has somewhere else to be, then we can't stop him." Patton sighed. "Just relax. It'll all turn out fine."
"Relax? You're aware of who you're talking to, yes?" Virgil asked. Patton giggled, and Virgil couldn't help a fond smile from finding its way to his face. "Ugh, fine. You're lucky you're cute."
"That's the spirit, Vee! Now, let's go stop Remus!"
---
"Perfect." Roman sighed, looking at his creation.
He was stood in the center of a large, elegant ballroom. Aside from Roman, no one else was present.
He had provided a chocolate fountain (making sure to taste test the hell out of it.) He wanted to make up for the last date, it had been eating him alive.
"Roman?"
He turned around, spotting Janus standing there. He looked nervous, but happy to be there.
"Hey!" Roman chirped, walking over. "I remember you told me once that you learned ballroom dancing." Roman smiled.
"No way! We're going to--" Janus smiled brightly, and Roman couldn't help but grin too.
"Yup! I know you don't like crowded spaces, so it'll be just the two of us." Roman offered Janus a hand. "So, may I have this dance?"
"You may." Janus chuckled, taking his hand.
Neither noticed Remus, hiding underneath the table with the food on it.

Second World
He was about to join the beta test on the newest VR games, Second World.
8 46181Briars and Thorns
Millenia ago, humanity faced a catastrophe. Some devastating, catastrophic event that even to this day leaves its impact on humankind and the Earth. That’s not where our story takes place though, instead we look to space, where humans have taken up residence among the stars. Living in huge industrial space stations, life is a bore. Dull daily routines are broken only by extravagant fashion, music, and other means of self expression. Also, of course, the lifeblood of the stations- games. Four months ago, humanity was contacted by the first ever known alien life forms. These aliens, calling themselves the Erta offered their designs and schematics for their True Virtual Reality (TVR) console, as well as access to their game in exchange for peace. And humanity, excited at the opportunity to achieve one of their life long dreams (that is, to experience True VR), graciously took them up on their offer. Now, after scientists have finally confirmed the console to be safe for humans, the game is to finally be released to the public. This comes to the joy of most of the population, but a small portion of them can't help but be upset. As thousands of the researchers meant to be developing virtual reality, are fired overnight. Meet Brian Reed, one of these newly unemployed workers. Now, join Brian as he explores the very game that was the death of his job. And watch as he learns that the game is not quite what it seems.
8 216Dip$h!+s in Space
An eccentric comedy novel (that thinks it's a TV show) about space, and the Dipsh!+s that end up stranded in it. This hyper-self-aware comedy of stupid proportions, centers around Captain William T Lawg (no relation) and his adventures as a guy who managed to afford a refitted soft-top ice-cream truck, in space. Explore the universe with his trusty crew of valiant randos. Marley, the tech-bro, stoner spacebunny, who just wants to get away from his home world and the bullies it harbors. Duffy, the plump and sassy female mechanic, who has had every job in existence totaling far more years than possible. Roy, the frigging fabulous, flamboyant android, and former spy…or possibly current spy. (dun dun, daaaa!) And lastly, but certainly leastly, that other chick the captain keeps trying to bang. Ride with the crew of the notorious Tast-E-Chill, to a world of wonder that a lot of other space travelers have already been before, but probably not Lawg, so it's still exciting. This satirical joke on itself and every sci-fi trope ever to exist, will be sure to either thrill you or disappoint you, because COMEDY…IS…SUBJECTIVE! With a crew of 3-10 and an IQ of also probably 3-10, The captain putters along to uncharted lands, where history, loot, drama, innuendos of the sexual verity, and various Technicolor hoes shall surely be waiting, usually with some form of trap. Each season brings new and interesting crewmen, like: Menace: the adorable genderless frog-child-thing with the heart of gold and the dialogue vocabulary of a slightly trained parrot. Greg: the 8 foot tall, ancient, thermonuclear, semi-retired alien overlord who just wants to prove he still has a purpose…and also to rule the galaxy. Izzy: a 3rd generation, age-reversed reboot, accidental clone of her own mother/sister/older self, who happens to be Greg's daughter-in-law…and much, much more. Prepare yourself for shallow adventure, moderately-to high offensive dialogue, and overwhelmingly childish scenarios. Tag along as the crew battles, fierce enemies, lack of food and survival tape, and occasionally their own incompetence. Teen Romance, current politics, subtlety, dignity, this sucker has none of those, and it darn well knows it. Raise the sails and grab the rails as a bunch of dipsh!+s find themselves...IN SPACE. (Roll dramatic tapering credits, to royalty free trumpet music)
8 126The Prodigal Prince
The Crowned Prince Nicholas Bennett Caspian Remington III has decided to abandon his country and title at the age of 12. He is not sure why, but his "6th Sense," as he has come to call it, tells him he has to leave before he is engaged to Scarlett Lola Barnes otherwise he will not get the "optimal" results. If you are confused, don't worry, he is too! He has a checklist in his mind titled, "The Perfect Game Walkthrough," whatever that means, and it has guided him since he was 6 years old. Though he has tried to fight the feeling all his life, it is like he is being controlled by someone else at times. Nick still has some control, mostly in conversations or when the 6th Sense is not guiding him, but for the most part, he has learned to go with it. It has helped him save himself and his family on more than one occasion, both politically, from corrupt nobles, and physically, from assassins that he fought off himself! He does a routine that would be demonic for any kid, let alone when he started it at 6.

It is time for him to leave on this journey. He has planned for this over the last 6 years and knows much adventure awaits him, as does much danger.

I will be gone for many years, but when I come back, I promise to make it up to you all!Love you bunches,Nick" With that Nick sets out for 6 years on an epic adventure filled with new friends, epic battles with scary monsters, mystery & intrigue, items & treasures that kingdoms would wage war over, an ancient enemy and its army that is defeated just in time to save the world, and a romantic interest that ultimately didn't really go anywhere..........* * *AND NOW HE'S BACK! ....And his 6th Sense is gone for some reason... A/N: This story will attempt to tell the tale of our returning protagonist prince after his perfect 100% video game walkthrough. The game has ended, but the story has only begun!
