Til the End of the Night / Ch1: In which Roman phones a friend

Masterpost / Next

Summary: While Thomas is asleep, Roman dreams himself into a predicament he can't get out of alone. Fortunately, he has three friends who are eager to... er, willing... look, at least they're going, alright? It's quest time!

Warnings: imprisonment, fantasy violence/non-graphic injury

A/N: finally starting to crosspost this fic! yay!

Read on AO3

Roman may have been slightly trapped in a tower. It was a long story, which did not refer to its actual length so much as to the fact that he didn’t want to tell it. He would hate to have to admit to anyone that he’d climbed up here to rescue a princess, as one does, only she’d told him there was wifi in there and then, when he’d joined her inside to partake of the free internet, vanished completely. In the moments it had taken him to look around and realize she’d been an illusion all along, magical vines had grown to almost completely cover the only window, impervious to his sword and his inventive curses alike. This had to be the work of that foul sorceress, the Dragon Witch. He’d said as much out loud, not that anyone was around to hear him.

He needed to get out of here. He couldn’t see anything lying around that would be of use, although he couldn’t see much of anything at all with the vines blocking all but a few slivers of light. Of course, he still had his creative powers- the world around him was in story-mode at the moment, so he couldn’t do anything too unreasonable, but he was able to pull a lantern from thin air and light it with a wave of his hand.

Taking a better look revealed only that, just as he’d thought, the room was pretty much empty. These tower scenarios weren’t exactly designed for convenience of escape. How would he ever get to save anyone if they went and left on their own before he got there, after all? That wouldn’t be any fun. It had never been an issue before, given that those inconvenienced were never real people... unlike now. He threw the lantern at the window in a combination of anger and hope that it might do something. Flames splashed over the vines only to die out a moment later, extinguished by a dark flash of magic. The barrier was warded against every attack he could come up with, even the ones he was stretching the rules to even be able to try, and tossing an arcane explosive at a wall showed that the whole room was just as indestructible. And the force sent him flying across the room, which hurt. And he had to make a new lantern now.

“What have I ever done to deserve this?” he demanded of the ceiling, gesturing to the overall situation with his free hand. It didn’t answer. He sighed loudly and collapsed to the floor, sitting against the back wall. He couldn’t stand feeling useless like this, coming up against a challenge he couldn’t dance around or make a way out of- and in his own realm, too, the place he came to get rid of frustration. While he’d been looking for a way out and coming up empty, what little light made it in had dimmed to nothing, and noticing that made him also notice how tired he was. As much as he hated to give up on… anything ever, really… there was no part of him that wanted to move right now. Time worked differently here and sleeping through the night would only take a minute of real-world time, so he might as well just put the lantern out and… close his eyes...

When Roman woke up, it was still about eleven at night back in reality, and he was about eleven different types of sore. It seemed his body wasn’t a fan of getting knocked into walls and then falling asleep on a stone floor, who knew? Which was hypocritical, because it hadn’t been his brain’s idea to pass out like that. When he got up and bit back a groan, however, it wasn’t because of the protests from his muscles, but because of what he saw.

The tower room was furnished now. There was a bed, a chest in which he could see folded clothes, and a small table holding an array of food and the lantern, which had been mysteriously lighted again. It bordered on cozy, which wasn’t a problem in and of itself- he liked cozy- but what it meant most definitely was. The world was expecting him to be staying here for quite a while. It was official: in the terms of the story that was now unfolding, his role was no longer that of an adventuring prince, but a witch’s prisoner locked in a tower, and that meant the very laws of this reality would make sure he couldn’t escape on his own, even if he thought of something that would normally work. There was nothing else to be done: as much as he would hate it, he was going to have to call for help.

Fortunately, the tower really did have wifi, because he certainly wasn’t going to have good reception out here. He sat on the bed, which was decently comfortable, opened the list of contacts on his phone and looked over them for a brief moment. Easy decision, really- two out of three would immediately make fun of him for getting himself into this situation in the first place. He called Patton.

Patton was half-asleep on the couch in a pile of blankets, midway through a TV show he was no longer paying attention to, when the ringing of his phone jolted him back to consciousness. He turned the TV off and answered at the last second before it would have gone to voicemail. “Hello?”

“Hello,” Roman said on the other end. He didn’t usually wait to be prompted to start talking about whatever he called for, that was odd.

“Roman!” He sounded awake now. “I thought you were busy with one of your adventures in the Imagination right now? Fighting bad guys and saving various royalty and stuff? Not that I’m not happy to hear from you, of course!”

“Er, about that, it’s-- you have to promise not to laugh,” he interrupted himself.

“Of course, I would never laugh at you! Unless you were making a joke, because then it wouldn’t be very nice not to…” That train of thought was getting off track, he realized. “What’s wrong?”

“Well… It seems that this time, I’ve become the royalty in need of rescuing.” He explained recent events, or at least a slightly edited version of them that made him sound cooler, and paused at appropriate moments for a reaction. Patton did not disappoint.

“Oh, no!” he gasped. “What are you going to do?”

“I’m not sure,” Roman said, which was mostly true. “This has all been rather confusing.”

“We’ve got to figure something out…”

Patton was too busy fretting to notice Logan rise up in front of him until he spoke. “I don’t mean to intrude on… whatever’s happening here, but if you two need help figuring something out, I’d be happy to contribute a more rational perspective. What’s the problem this time?”

“Roman is--” Patton interrupted himself with a surprised squeak as Virgil appeared as well, balanced on the arm of the couch.

“Patton, are you okay? I felt...” He trailed off slightly and looked between the two of them, fidgeting with the hood of his jacket as if he expected to need it up soon. “Somebody tell me what’s going on.”

Logan started telling him what he knew, despite the fact that he knew pretty much nothing. Virgil quickly realized this and responded sarcastically, starting an argument over whether Logan should be saying anything at all right now, and meanwhile Roman was talking into Patton’s ear asking what was happening over there, and there were so many freakin’ words he couldn’t process any of it.

“Guys,” he tried to interrupt. “Hello?” They didn’t seem to hear him. He cleared his throat and mustered his sternest voice, which wasn’t very stern, really, but they would know it meant he was serious. “Logan! Virgil! Quit it!” They stopped bickering and turned back in his direction, looking sheepish.

“Sorry.”

“I apologize, that was- immature. Please continue.”

“Alright, well, Roman- you know what, I should just put him on speakerphone. I’m putting you on speakerphone, Roman, okay? Can you tell Logan and Virgil what you just told me?”

Patton set his phone on the table, and the first thing they all heard from Roman was an annoyed sigh. “If I must,” he said reluctantly. Virgil muffled a laugh with his sleeve- he could just hear the pout in his voice. “This is so embarrassing,” he muttered. “I was tricked… by a very cunning witch… and now I am unfortunately, er, stuck, in a tower, in a story. I would, uh… greatly appreciate some assistance, honestly.”

Logan blinked. “Well, that’s simple enough to fix. All we need to do is wake Thomas up and--”

“No!” Roman coughed. “I mean- he does need to be well rested to face the day’s challenges, you know how erratic his sleeping habits can be- we shouldn’t resort to disturbing him unless there are truly no other options. ...And have I mentioned that this is very embarrassing? It’s bad enough that you all know now, I’m not telling Thomas as well!” And if Thomas knew something, everyone did, or could if they chose, at least. Some of those “dark” sides would never let Roman live this down if they heard.

“Okay, so you need someone to get you out.” Surprisingly, or maybe not all that surprisingly, Logan knew a bit about the technicalities of the Imagination. Once he’d found out technicalities existed, he couldn’t resist asking questions until Roman yelled at him to stop killing his fun by trying to dissect how it worked. “Why not just conjure up a hero with those fanciful mind-powers of yours?”

“I… can’t. Not without being part of the action myself. I can’t move the focus of the story to anyone who isn’t real.”

“What do you mean you can’t?” Virgil dropped onto the couch beside Patton, legs folded under himself, the better to yell into the phone. “It’s your world, you literally created it, what even- what does that even mean? Just tell it to stop, or whatever.”

“It’s not always that easy,” Roman snapped back. “I can’t just do whatever I want- I mean, I can, but… look, I didn’t want it to be that easy, alright? I need a challenge sometimes if I want to improve! Anyway, I’m sure your room is so much more manageable,” he added seconds before wondering if this was going too far, “what with how it nearly made Patton cry after being there for ten minutes and all. I suppose that was all entirely on purpose.”

“My room is a room, Roman, and you’re in an infinite world with way more dangerous stuff in it that I had kind of assumed you could always control, but okay, fine. Figures your realm would make everything have to be about you. What’s your plan, if none of ours are good enough?”

“We-ell…” A slight pause. “It doesn’t have to be about me, thank you very much, Mr. Tall-Dark-and-Even-More-Dark. In theory, if someone else, another person who exists in some real sense, were to enter the realm, and take on the role of a traveling hero…”

“Oh! That sounds fun!” Patton exclaimed, at the same moment as Virgil said, “Absolutely not.” Logan just shook his head skeptically.

“Pleeease?” Roman and Patton said in unison. Patton was even giving them his best puppy-dog eyes. How did they sync up like that without being able to see each other? Why was it almost working?

“Roman just said he lost control of his stupid realm, and now you want to skip on in there after him and probably get eaten by a rogue dragon or something?”

“I thought the dragon was a witch, not a rogue…”

That got a snort of laughter from Virgil despite himself, and a pained sigh from Logan. Virgil tried to regain his look of “why are you even considering this,” but before he could quite get there Roman was talking again.

“Guys, it’s completely safe, I promise. On my honor as a prince, which, in here, I actually am. Nothing in this realm has ever so much as scratched me unless I decided it could, and I’m not going to tell anything it can hurt any of you. Like Patton said, it will be fun! Just a quick walk through the Imagination- which is beautiful, I designed the landscape myself- I can give you a proper tour once you get me down, and we’ll all be back long before Thomas wakes up.” There was a muffled noise and a distant curse-substitute as he almost knocked the lantern over with the gestures they couldn’t see him making.

“Yes!” Patton was practically bouncing in his seat. “Can we go? Logan? Virgil? Please? I really wanna go and it wouldn’t be as fun by myself, please?”

Logan considered it. “I still think it would be much easier to just inform Thomas of the situation-”

“Thank you,” Virgil sighed.

“-but if Roman doesn’t want to be summoned-”

“-which I don’t-”

“-he can choose to ignore it. Knowing how stubborn he can be, it might in fact be less hassle to just go along with his plan.”

“You’re actually agreeing to this? Are you serious?”

Logan pointed silently to his necktie.

“Ugh, fine.” Virgil threw his hands up in defeat. “But if anything bad happens, it won’t be my fault.”

Patton touched Virgil’s knee softly, trying not to startle him with limited success. “You don’t have to come if you don’t want to, you know. If you’d rather stay here and wait for us to get back, that’s completely fine.”

“No, I’m going.” He looked sideways at Patton with the ghost of a teasing smile on his face. “I mean, somebody has to keep the rest of you out of trouble, you’re not getting away from me that easily.”

“We wouldn’t want to,” Patton assured him, while Logan breathed a sigh of relief that he wouldn’t be left to corral the rather impulsive emotional side by himself.

Roman’s slightly tinny voice broke in. “Are you coming, then?” He was trying not to sound like he cared very much, which was revealing in itself.

Patton grinned. “Yep! Just as soon as we get ready! Ooh-” he turned to the other two in the room- “can I say something?”

Logan shared a confused glance with Virgil. “...I would assume so?”

Patton didn’t bother to clarify, just grabbed one of their hands each, throwing them up above all their heads as he cheered. “Who’s ready for an ADVENTURE?!”

Im Suppose to be doing HW

I wish my mind would stop going a mile a minute. But I can't help it, everything is truly connected, my mind does leaps and bounds in a single second. I have been thinking about this sparingly though for a while, because I have always wanted to write a book right, just could never see me completing it, not knowing the steps really kept me a square one. Went to school and through all the graphic design torture see how I could develop the thoughts and write a book. Something I am definitely going back to do, just to busy right now. Then Dory writes. I feel like these blogs of my life will be discovered later in may life or maybe once I die, but I hope when she discovers I who I am and that she is Dory, she won't be offended, but you do act forgetfully and spacey, so I think shell get it. Anyway a lot of things Im not saying to say, I don't believe in coincidences, she writes like crazy, its so natural to her. Its therapy too. I need therapy. I think about my life journey, the fool going through life, noticing things, but religion allowing you to disregard it in the confusion since I never believed it. I thought I was going to probably go to hell all this time cause I always wanted to just really say I don't believe this!!!!!!! It doesn't make sense!!!!!!!!!!!!! LMAO!!! All I went through with my Blk Angel, I refer to him as, he created my own hell, with my help I guess, or with my permission. Sometimes I feel vengeful towards him, but there was balance in all the power I took back through that experience. Maybe that was my experience of Persephone and Hades.

So I don't know what he was doing in the meantime, but I wonder, what archetypes he's lived through. I feel like Athena now or like Psyche (and Cupid). Especially with my Aries rising, duh, a Warrior Queen King, thats me. lol. Let me stop for I reveal too much. I know I have to be strong battling energies all around me, however I am encouraged to be my individual self this lifetime, my Chiron has me constantly in battle with my destiny of living freely, the unique individual that I am, and not in the we all are individual sense.

I just wonder I am suppose to develop my voice and share my story. Before Kays mom shared her personal premonition with me, I had already felt my story was suppose to be a testimony for other people, specifically women. I had survived all this abuse in so many ways all my life and now Im still fighting. I feel I survived my Saturn triumphantly. Now I know how to gather facts to construct and birth a story. Now Im learning about archetypes and astrology, things that we all are connected to, only most are unaware, thats why this knowledge is power. It can influence people unconsciously. The ones who are living unconsciously. like zombie are unaware of this, when they see it or hear it, it doesn't register. Ive noticed, like people who just turn away from the information, its just a way. I know they are sleep, their spirit is telling me not now, in some way they are rejecting in. I don't know... there is something peculiar about it. It makes me think of all the movies and tv shows I see now and I feel and see a much deeper story than being obviously presented. It feels personal, like those movies and shows I jotted down here. Anyway I wonder that I a=m suppose to be taking in all this stuff over the years and if one day I don't write something that will heal the collective in some ways, help guide them out of their slumber. Will my husband be there with me and how will he assist or add to the project. He is a writer also, talented in the same ways, just may not be as raw, it’s more cultured some. I am the one with the Pollux contact, but thats more speculation.... The spirit of the Gemini moon can only wonder.

The way the story sounds in my head is much more dramatic than these paragraphs I have typed. Imagine a warrior in a bunch of fire all around, searching for the love of HER life. OOOooooooooo. Captured thousands of years ago, kept apart and caged away, only by a glamour roaming the same 3 density as his mirrored other by the Royal family of his own. They did not believe the fire that burned within her could with stand the necessary tests to be a royal, she was not of the correct vibration, born of the lowers, there was obviously, couldn't be a place for her in their realm. Their love had been driven apart through torturous lies and they were cursed to spend eternity apart, but the force of their love breaking the spell each lifetime, where they would find each other, despite the unlikeliest of enemies. Am I awake, am I sleep? She had to gain her own true power and beauty within before she could set out to make her dreams come true, merging heaven on earth, uniting the ultimate divine spirits, It was a fight on high in the eternal world, where things were much different. The warrior queen lived her life balancing the harshness of the 3D world cultivating love alchemically to one day merge her dreams and reality, bringing her love back within her grasps... forever this time.

Something more like that. It can be a story of twin flames like all the other. It makes me think of all the shows that I see. None of this is really real. I just see what I need to see as it pertains to me and my mission ultimately it seems. Everything else can get blocked out maybe... we all have our own roles to play to make each part into a whole. It always makes me think of a clock or watch and its parts. Anyway maybe, I definitely think so, like how they say everything is in plain sight, these things are constantly told to us through these same philosophical stories, the same characters we play out everyday. People hate philosophy like its too much to think about, but you live it everyday... People have been theoretically trying to get us to wake up for ages probably now. And there are always more people coming in to guide more to an awakening. Making space. I am another in that race now? Idk, not quite sure where I fit into all of this, just thinking.
