[CH. 001] [Audio]

[since1928]

[There's a high-pitched yelp.

It sounds sort of strangled, or maybe it even sounds like someone getting squished under a heavy weight. Whatever has happened doesn't take too long to recover from, however, as the high-pitched voice rouses from that former dazed state.]

...Oh boy. Anybody got the license plate of that train??

[He tries to laugh, letting it peter off into a mild groan.

Somewhere behind him, there's the sound of a muffled, fat bark.]

[Roxas is a little surprised to see Mickey. He hadn't seen him since that first time they met and that had been a while ago, so he'd assumed the King had gone home. He figures he should say something, but how was he going to address him...Mickey hadn't seemed that big on formalities...]

Mickey? Are you okay?

[since1928]

Huh?

[Looks like he's fine with that. Several rapid blinks help him "stabilize" the environment, glancing about to see where the voice is coming from.]

Yeah, I'm okay. I think.

[seasaltkeys]

Good. You don't need a potion or anything?

[her_mouse_jesty]

Mickey! There you are!

[Honestly, how could you disappear on her like that? She doesn't think you went home like everyone else, because, surely, you would've said goodbye first. Surely.]

I've been looking all over for you... Are you all right?

[since1928]

Minnie??

[Maybe that Meow Wow train Meow Wow hit him harder than he thought.]

O-oh. Sorry 'bout that. Haha. I'll be okay! Once I get my bearings...

[her_mouse_jesty]

Where are you? I think I know my way around here well enough now to find you.

[sailorlaughter]

TOTALLY! It said...

WELCOMEBACKHERE'SANOTHERCUPCAKE!!!! [And she bounces down from somewhere to offer a cupcake. Yes.]

[since1928]

[What the heck

Bright pink pony offering him a free cupcake]

Uh...Thanks??

[sailorlaughter]

NO PROBLEM!

[And she bounces back up somewhere.

Only to bounce down a second later.]

You're married to Queen Minnie, right? [Bounce!] That makes you a king! [Bounce!] Where's your crown?

[laughingsword]

My goodness.

Are you all right?

[...it's another giant mouse creature. How many of them are there?]

[since1928]

[It's just the two! Well. The only two he knows of is Minnie and himself. Yeah.]

I'm doin' better than I was earlier, haha.

[laughingsword]

Well, that's good! It sounded as though you'd fallen.

[wavesinherheart]

Are you alright?

[He takes a moment to blink. He didn't hear or see anything wrong, but something was amiss for him.]

[wavesinherheart]

[She'd at least hope that there isn't anything wrong. But it's hard to say one way or another, and she notices the momentary blink all the same.]

I'm glad to hear it.

[hiptobe_eraqus]

Are you all right?

[Sounded like that was likely a Dream Eater, but he wasn't sure if it was friend or foe. Probably more likely the former.]

[since1928]

[There's a "woof!" that's quickly followed by panting and audible squishing.]

–Hey, come on! Stop that!

[An audible flinch.]

–Er, I don't mean you, mister! I'm fine!

[hiptobe_eraqus]

[Okay, it's definitely due to his own Spirits, which is what he figured. He mostly looks amused.]

Maybe you can placate your Spirit with a treat for the time being?

[colorbymemory]

[Oh dear, it looks like the king needs help. At least, Namine thinks that's the king. She's only heard his voice once, in Sora's memories, but it's very distinctive.]

Your Majesty? Are you okay?

[since1928]

[He does have a tone of voice not many others possess. And just like his, Namine's is very different and unfamiliar to him.]

Oh, I'll be just fine! Nothin' to worry too much about, haha. I'm pretty resilient!

[colorbymemory]

[Namine smiles, looking a little relieved.]

That's good. Is that a new Spirit?

[Some of them can be enthusiastic.]

[voice]

[battleborndr]

[He does not approve of Mickey Mouse getting hurt.]

You alright there?

[Sure the question's been asked a lot, but...]

[voice]

[since1928]

[He's doesn't mind! He's Mickey Mouse!]

Yup! Still in one piece, haha!
