Roman jumps back for a second at the sudden appearance.

Logan carefully grabs Roman's shoulders to stabilize him and looks at Patton who has his head tilted in confusion. "Honestly I don't understand this either but then again we are ghost who exist at only a couple inches tall. At this point my knowledge of reality has hit the road as they say."

Virgil jumped at the voices behind him before quickly covering his head with his hood and leaning against the spiral hill.

-----------------------------------------‐----------

Thomas was a bit surprised by the knock at the door. But quickly moved to answer it.

"That was fast..." Remy spoke up.

"Hey...uh...James. How have you been? Long time...no see?" Thomas stumbled for his words hoping he could pull this off.

-------------------------------------------------------

Roman and Logan slowly woke up, dazed. They looked around, confused by their surroundings before the day prior events fully caught up to them. Roman quickly jumped up and floated over to Patton.

"Padre! Are you okay?" Roman shouted looking Patton up and down to make sure nothing was wrong.

Patton giggled at Roman and gently grabbed his hand. "I'm a-okay kiddo! But um-" Patton shifted a bit uncomfortably before pointing behind Roman at the open bedroom door. Roman quickly turned around ready to defend Patton from what ever was making him uncomfortable. There standing in the door way was a very shocked Thomas.

"Well hi there." Thomas slowly raised his hand and waved.

Roman froze up immediately. He spun around to Patton and pointed back to Thomas. He tried to speak, but nothing came out before he blackout.

"Well that could have gone better?" Thomas rubbed the back of his neck before moving to sit on the far end of the bed away from the two. "Is he going to be okay?"

Patton gently pulled Roman up next to him under the washcloth. "He did fall against the bed so he should be fine, just a little shocked."

Thomas glanced between the two. "So there is another ghost here?"

"Well two more." Logan stated as he walks out from among the stuffed animals. He had been keeping quiet up until then but figured there was no point in hiding. "Salutations Thomas. My name is Logan." He stated while walking towards the man.

Thomas jumped and turned around so fast his vision went blurry for a second before clearing up to see a small ghost figure on the floor. "Oh well. Hello it's nice to meet you Logan. And who is the prince guy?"

"This is Roman!" Patton replied happily. He was so happy that his friends had revealed themselves to Thomas and he won't have to lie to Thomas about there being any other ghosts. Though Virgil lived with them, too, they opted to leave him out for now until the dear emo was ready.

----------------------------------------------

AN: wow! Okay so a lot has happened since I last updated. From building new furniture in my home, to having my wisdom teeth removed, therapy, and even pulling a tick out of my leg. Things have been rather stressful, but here this is! Sorry for it being so late...now hopefully with everything calming down I can post more regularly. As always inbox is always open and the sides (Patton, Roman, Logan, and Virgil) and Thomas are open for questions.

-----------------------------------------------TAG LIST

Pattons eyes blink open slowly. His mind feels fuzzy about the events that took place. He rubs his eyes and stretches out a bit, letting out a almost squeak like yawn. As his eyes open he realizes he is no longer in Thomas' cardigan pocket but instead on Thomas' bed laying on one of his stuffed animals.

"Oh...good..you're awake..." a quiet whispering voice spoke out in the barely lite room. He hadn't realized the soft music or Thomas' presence until this point. Thomas, sitting on the edge of the bed a good enough distance away, smiles at him. "I was starting to get worried....."

Patton's body shook a little looking up at Thomas. He looked around for a moment before looking back at Thomas. He took a few deep breathes and closed his eyes.

"Sorry...did I scare you? Am I scaring you? I can back off more if you like?" Thomas quietly asked looking almost panicked.

Seeing the young man in a panic, Patton calmed himself down and gave a small smile. He can tell Thomas is worried about him and hopes that he can give the kind souled kiddo a peace of mind. His body still shock slightly, making his voice not want to come out. He simply shock his head and sat up cross legged on the stuffie.

Thomas was taken back by the action a bit, but quickly recovered. "Well that's a relief. Anyways...um....my name is Thomas" he put his hand out towards Patton without fully thinking. He quickly pulled his hand back seeing him flinch. "Sorry...um..." Thomas slowly lowered his pinkie finger down to Patton.

Patton grabbed the finger with both of his hands, watching Thomas' eyes go wide.

"Tiny hands! My only weakness!"

Patton laughed at the very lightly whispered comment. "My name is Patton! But most call me dad!"

"So what are you exactly I mean you seem a bit see through but yet I can touch you.....Also why are you so tiny?"

Patton gave out a light laugh and looked up at him. "I am a ghost and I have no idea why I am so tiny!"

Tag list:

Virgil jumps back, a scream slipping from his lips. "What the- how- where- um..." he pauses for a moment to ground himself before looking back up. "I guess thats pretty cool. Better to have a face to attach to a voice I guess." He finds his piece of lead again and leans over the post it note. "It's a new Nightmare Before Christmas design, but with a twist of other Tim Burton films, such as Coraline, The Corpses Bride, and Alice in Wonderland." He replies in a way that implies he's thinking his idea over.

____________________________________________

An: Eeee yay two posts in one day I love it and before anyone asks yes I love Tim Burton films!

Patton takes a quick look down at Roman and Logan all curled up in the stuffies fast asleep. "I would love for them to meet Thomas fully like I have, but I get their hesitation against it. I was lucky they trusted me so much when I was still alive, but they are still very cautious." He glances over to Thomas as he returns to the room.

----------------------------------------------

AN: Surprise surprise I'm not dead! Thanks so much for the ask and I promise I have a new chapter coming up since for some reason my drafts went MIA and I cant find the old chapters.

Tag list:

Thomas came home after a few hours and sat a box down on the stand in front of the couch.

"Let's see where I can place these new pieces at!" Thomas smiles and looks around. He removes a few thing from his box and places them on the bookshelf by the dining room table. He returns to the box and pulls out what looks to be a handmade Nightmare Before Christmas snow globe. The maker made it with real glass that seems lightly stained in different colors. The bottom appears to be a mirror that is lightly stained with soft greens and browns. Jack, Sally and Zero stand on top of said mirror and seem to be singing to each other. When turned the globe swirls colors of fall. It is quite the master piece. Thomas had found it at a yard sale of a family selling their sons things since he had pasted away. They are moving and only kept the sentimental things of their child's.

Thomas walks over and places the small snow globe next to the T.V. "There! Perfect!" He smiles.

-------------------------------------

The three small spirits stood watching Thomas unpack other things, but a sort of feeling came over them as the snow globe is placed not even a foot away from them.

"Wow! What a master piece! So detailed!" Roman marvels quietly over the new decorative piece.

Logan seems to stare at it, walking a little closer to observe it. "Yes, quiet amazing. But something seems a bit off with it."

Patton gave a slight glare at Logan. "I'm sure the person tried their best. We shouldn't-"

"No no." Logan cuts him off quickly. "More of an energy type. The art work is magnificent-"

"T-thanks...." a quiet voice speaks out causing the others to jump. They look around for the source. "D-down h-h-here"

Logan walks over to the globe and looks in. Sure enough in the mirror is a human face. He looks only to be 16 with the typical emo style. Purple streaks ran through black hair, pale skin with blue and green eyes that seem to have a abnormal split in them. Top half being green and the bottom blue. "Salutations."

The spirit slowly rises out of the mirror and sits on top of it. He looks at the other two present and looks to see if Thomas was still in the room. Luckily, Thomas had moved on to cooking dinner and wasnt aware of his presence nor the others. "Wassup?" He fidgets with his hoodie strings. "I-I'm Virgil....." he figures it's best to speak up about his name since he seems so very lost.

"Wait! One of the voices mentioned that name before!" Roman bounces up and runs to the globe. "So cool!"

Virgil stares back completely confused and scared. "Um....."

(Virgil is now open for questioning)

=========================

A few hours later Roman and Logan were still hidden in the clothes pile. Thomas has long since left to go get some dinner. 

“The more I look at that Octopus, the more it reminds me of my brother.” Roman says a bit sadly.

“Brother?” Logan suddenly breaks out of his intense watch over Patton to stare at Roman in confusion. 

Roman focuses on the octopus and Patton with a sad smile. “Yeah. I have....had...a twin brother.”

“You have never spoken of having a brother.” This new topic seems to have caught Logan’s full attention.

Roman looks down at his hands with a sad smile. “ His name was Remus. He was born only a few minutes. His favorite colors were green and black, just like that octopus. He was chaotic, but also very creative in a kind of dark way-”

“What do you mean by dark way?”

“Blood. Gore. Death. Stuff like that.”

“Seems he’s the opposite of you.”

“Yes, but together we made the most thrilling stories ever. So much suspense. So much angst. So many twists and turns. Don’t get me started on the play writing.” Roman replies with a huge smile as if trapped in a memory.

Logan is almost afraid to ask. “What happened to him?” 

Roman looks over at Logan, pulled from his trip down memory lane. “From what I know he has still alive after my family moved out of this house. Otherwise I’m not sure.”

⚠️TRIGGER WARNING⚠️

❗mentions of suicide but not intentional, mentions of diagnosed anxiety and depression❗

Patton glances over at Virgil seeing he had stiffened up when asked the question. "Kiddo...is it okay if we learn that about you?"

Virgil glances up and takes a deep breathe. "It's a bit touchy, but please believe me when I say it wasn't on purpose." He takes a deep breathe. "When I was around the age of 10 I was diagnosed with severe anxiety and depression. Let's just say a lot happened at that age. Anyways, so they placed me on medication. Well that was fine and everything. Fast forward 8 years-"

"Wait so you are 18!? You don't look older than 16!" Roman blurts out in shock. "Sorry.....go on Virgil."

"As I was saying fast forward 8 years and it had become clear that my memory wasn't the greatest. I forgot things quiet easily including taking my meds. About a month ago I had one of my days where my memory was worse than normal thanks to a headache. I would get headaches so bad they made it hard to see sometimes. My parents were at work, but they trust me to be able to take my meds on my own. Sadly though I had forgotten when I took my meds and with blurry eyes I couldnt read the time on my phone correctly or see how many meds were in my hand when I went to take them. I ended up taking too many too close together leading to an accidental overdose." He takes a few deep breathes to calm down while looking at the others.

"Awe kiddo..." Patton reaches for Virgil and Virgil almost immediately flies into Pat's arms and began to cry. "Shh kiddo it's okay. It was an accident."

Roman and Logan soon join in the hug and begin to comfort the new ghost. "We are here for you young prince."

"Thanks....." Virgil smiles softly and relaxes into the hug more.

----------------------------------------------

An: this one was a bit touchy to right and if I missed anything in the warning please let me know. Also next part will include Thomas. Thomas is still open for questions. I know Virgil is a bit out of character but that's only for the beginning he will fall into his 'canon' self more as this moves forward. Also let me know if anyone wants to be added to the tag list.
