Warnings: Potentially language, I will add as things come up.

Romeo had been trying his best to keep his spirits up. The Midnight Game hadn't helped, it had just made him more sad and angry at the bad people. But he couldn't stay being sad and angry because if he did then the bad people would have won. He couldn't let them win. He might be small and weaker than the bad people but Psiionic had been right, he had lots of friends and they could help him!

[for Signless, room 2-08] He went to see Psiionic first, he hadn't seen him in a little while and wanted to see how he was anyways. He knocked on the door of room 2-08 hoping that he was in.

[for Terezi, forest floor near the staircase] After getting lost here with Ienzo Romeo never went out of sight of the stair case, where he could escape easily. But he had picked up a stick and was busy attacking nearby trees with it. He might not be strong but if he hit the bad people with sticks then it should hurt them a little bit and might save his friends.

[for Ventus, room 1-16] Romeo hadn't seen Ven in a while, but he found his room easily enough though he had never visited it before and knocked on the door. Ven had told him he would teach him magic, and seeing the little bit of magic that Ienzo had been learning Romeo thought it could help him beat the bad people who had brought them here.

[for Sora, floor twenty] He was wondering who else could help him, he had to get good really fast if he was going to have any chance of saving Molly and the others that the bad people had taken, he had his stick again and was practicing on imaginary enemies.

[for Link, the meadow] Romeo ran through the meadow Piccolo on his head. He spotted Link, the man who wasn't an elf but looked like one anyways. He waved and skipped over. "Hello mister Link!"

[for Frankin Stein, room 1-07] Romeo knocked on the door bravely. He had been told that there was a lady who lived in this room who would help him learn how to fight if he asked her. Even though she was an adult Romeo was sure she would be nice, he smiled brightly when the door was opened.

[anyone else, anywhere] [Romeo on any floors, either practicing fighting or just meeting people. If you play a character who looks like a warrior he might ask for help.]

"That's sort of the plan." Wow, he's cute. Signless reaches out and sort of gives Romeo a pat on the head, smiling. "We need all the help we can get. What would you like to do?"

Romeo smiled, "Well... I just want to stop them hurting everyone, they took my friend." He waved his hand, "They took lots of my friends but Molly is my best friend we swore a vow! But..." He frowned, "I don't have super strength like her, or magic and I don't really know how to fight though I've been learning. But whatever I can do! I swear I will help!" He brought his fist up to his heart, a solemn vow.

"Whatever it takes I will help you make everyone free and let them all go home!"

"I'm sure you can do a lot, then," Signless said sincerely. "Who's teaching you to fight?"

Romeo smiled, "Miss Stein is teaching me a little bit and Ven is teaching me magic! I need to learn more but I'm going to work really hard!"

"Do you like it?" Signless asked, smiling as he moved to sit down at the end of his bed.

Romeo nodded but then frowned, "Sort of, I like that I'll be able to protect my friends but fighting's not a very nice thing to do." He looked determined though.

"The bad people and really bad though, so we have to fight them or they will hurt us more."

Signless put his hands on Romeo's shoulders and squeezed, smiling with approval. "Fighting is always the last thing we want to do, but sometimes we have no choice," he said warmly. "If we want to protect our friends, sometimes you have to fight."

He paused, and went on gravely. "But even so, I think there aren't really bad people. Some people do bad things, because they've been taught that it's all right. You might need to fight to stop them from doing bad things to your friends, but if you can show those people that what they're doing is bad, that's even better."

Romeo nodded, sometimes they had no choice like when they were stuck here and had to fight to protect their friends, because otherwise they would get hurt a lot.

At Signless' other words his eyes widened and he nodded intently. He had never heard someone else in the tower who thought that. Some people even had told him he was silly to think like that, some people had even told him it was wrong to be good at all.

He nodded, "If we teach them that what they are doing makes other people upset I'm sure they'll stop it, they probably had bad things done to them so they think that's what there meant to be like. If we are nice to them and teach them they might be nice back!"

"Maybe," Signless agreed, smiling faintly. "I think there's really no other way to teach them. But just because they're wrong, doesn't mean they're willing to listen. Since they've had bad things happen to them, their minds are closed, and they're afraid. They might lash out. So promise me that you'll keep yourself safe, even though you want to teach them, all right?"

Romeo frowned and nodded, Signless was right, he had met so many people here who wanted to be bad, or thought being bad was the right thing to do.

He didn't know a way to teach them but he wanted to try. "I'll try, though I wont let them hurt my friends!" He would do anything to stop that from happening, personal safety aside.

"Good. I'm glad." Signless smiled. "I know you're getting training already, but is there anything I can do for you, Romeo?"

Romeo smiled and then blinked, "Can you teach me as well sir? I want to get good really fast so we can all go home!"

Signless' smile softened. "I could teach you a little something, if you want. I'm good with sickles." He pulled one out and hefted it, showing it to Romeo. "Do you think you'd like to learn that?"

"Really?" Romeo's eyes lit up "Would you?" He looked at the sickles cautiously, they looked scary, but... he wasn't going to do much fighting the bad guys with just his fists.

"Sure, of course," Signless said, chuckling softly at the look on the human's face. "Threshecutioners are pretty feared amongst trolls. If you can handle a weapon like this, you can do a lot of things to stop people, disarm them, and also hurt them if you need to."

He captchalogued his sickle again. "I'll give you a lesson whenever you like."

Romeo nodded, that sounded like a good idea! He wanted to stop them, and though he didn't want to hurt them he would if it meant they stopped hurting his friends.

"Really? I will listen really good and try my best!"

"I'm sure you will," Signless said, grinning. "Do you want to try it now?"

Romeo grinned, "Really? Right now? You're not too busy?" He was practically bouncing with enthusiasm.

"I'm not busy at all. Follow me," Signless said and moved to the door, heading towards the meadow level. It was wide open and safe, so it seemed like a good place to train.

Romeo grinned and nodded skipping beside Signless as they made their way towards the meadow. Excited for the change to learn something new!
