Anxiety: Everything sucks we’re going to die I don’t like the look of that person over there are they gonna go through Thomas’ car we should…
Logic: *puts a blindfold on him*
Anxiety: *sudden silence*
……..
Anxiety: Where are the keys?
Logic: In our pocket.
Thomas: *checks his pocket for the keys*
Anxiety: Oh okay.
Thomas: *puts the keys back in his pocket*
Anxiety: Dude where the hell did our keys go

Logan: There are no monsters in the closet.
Virgil: Roman?
Roman: There’s a demon squid in the closet.
Virgil: Logan there’s a demon squid in the closet.
Roman: No wait I was kidding.
Virgil: You need to close the closet.
Logan: But even if it was real that wouldn’t…
Virgil: Close the closet!
Thomas: Fine. *gets up and closes closet*
Virgil: Finally you’re listening to me. Good. Now we’re safe.

Deceit: Patton was never real.
Anxiety: Oh my god Patton was never real.
Patton: Hi!
Anxiety: Oh my god you guys Patton is actually real.
Logan: *facepalm*
…….
Roman: Hey Logan check this out. Hey Anxiety, think fast! *pretends to throw something at Virgil*
Virgil: *flinches and then looks around* Where is it? What did you throw? *checks the couch cushions*
Logan: We really need to talk about how you interact with him.
Virgil: *tearing apart the living room now* I KNOW YOU DID SOMETHING WITH IT.
……..
Patton: I like this horror movie.
Virgil: That girl is gonna come out of the screen and kill us.
Logan: Verge that’s impossi-
Virgil: DON’T SAY I DIDN’T WARN YOU MORONS WHEN OUR FINAL SECONDS DRAW NEAR.
