(006) When The Cat's Away [Text - Blocked From Mytho]

[takesyoubytheheart]

This is Mickey Mouse. I need some help here, or at least someone who's got information.

Has anyone else started acting strange since we time arrived at this place? Felt their bodies become weaker?

My friend Mytho's been acting strange since we came here. I'm staying with him until he feels better.

But the weirdest thing is his attitude. He's usually a really nice kid! He's my friend! But lately sometimes he acts like he's the one in charge, that i'm supposed to obey him. I've got a bad feeling about it.

If you've got anything, I'd love to hear it. Everyone, be safe.

Not at this place, but, where I am from, such a thing can occur -- the weakness, at least -- when traveling between worlds. It's usually accompanied by confusion and nose bleeds, however.

[So Mickey, Riku, and Ventus aren't the only world travelers, huh? He'll have to note this away for later.]

He does seem pretty confused, but there's no nosebleeds. So you think it's just a toll on the mind and body?

Where I'm from, it's caused by cognitive dissonance. The mind conflicts against itself. The degree of hemorrhaging varies greatly from person to person.

I suffered it myself before this [a pause] change in our situation. When there seemed to be fluctuations in our surroundings.

[The time shifts. But, as they're supposed to be discreet about that, he'll let the other fill in the gaps.]

It's very possible that his mind is reacting in a similar way or that the uniqueness of this situation has brought on its own change of some kind.

[Makes sense... A weaker mind, a weaker body, maybe that's just all? Mytho does lack pieces of his heart, maybe that's why he's weak...?

I suppose that could be all there is to it. For some of us, this is a new experience. And he might suffer again when we 'go back'. I'll have to really keep my eye on him and make sure he doesn't get hurt any worse when we return.

You could attempt to find a grounding sensation.

For myself, it was music. The resonance of notes is constant throughout the worlds, so it helped steady my mind as it adjusted to the rather dramatic change I undertook.

A grounding sensation? That sounds like a clever idea! I'll find out what's important to him, and what stays the same in all worlds.

Hopefully you'll have success fairly quickly.

It's nice to meet you, and I'm happy you two got to stay together. I hope the next time we talk, it'll be under much nicer circumstances!
