[The video flickers on, but since Mickey is not looking directly into it, it can easily be assumed it was turned on by accident. He’s tossing the starfish communicator up and down, out of bored agitation. As with most newcomers, he's wet, and not happy about his situation. He's looking around as he talks, trying to find the man whom he assumes is responsible.]

Aw, c’mon, Yen Sid! I know ya gotta be around here somewhere! We were just talkin’, I need ta know about ta do about Sora and Riku! Ya can’t just drop me off somewhere without a clue! I know ya can hear me! Why, I oughtta –

[His eye then catches on to the fact that the video is on. it's not entirely unfamiliar technology, but that is a long pause he takes as he thinks about what's going on. He blinks, and then his eyes dart around before he grins sheepishly at being caught ranting.]

… Huh! Well. Whaddya know. [Then he’ll clear his throat, trying to be a grown-up. Emphasis on trying.] H-Hiya! Don’t suppose anyone out there knows a fella named Yen Sid? Tall, human, big beard, never smiles? I’ll even settle fer the name a’ this place… and what this thing is… and why I’m all wet… gosh, I could really use a lot of help fer this one. I don’t even know where ta start!

Hm… Minnie’s always goin’ on about the right introductions… guess that’s a better start than nothin’. My name’s Mickey Mouse! Who might you all be?

[Well, shoot. He tried his best, and he still can't.]

Guess you could say I'm skeptical about most of it.

[Suddenly, the feed between the three of them is getting locked until they reach where he can sense his friend.]

I've been here almost a year in this world's time, and I've seen enough to know that what the locals say isn't always accurate.

[Whoa whoa whoa back up there.]

A year?! But that can't be right! There's no way it's been that long since ya were taken back ta Destiny Islands!

[Okay, hitting the rewind button-- I mean.]

Remember when I said different worlds and times-? [He pauses to let that sink in a little bit, because Sora pretty much told him already what's going to happen for him eventually...]

This world completely disregards what we know of our worlds and creates it's own reality. You could stay here for months and return home for any period of time and find out that no time has passed at all.

But... but that doesn't make any sense at all! No magic should have that kind of power!

[Something is VERY WRONG HERE. He has to lean against a wall, this is overwhelming.

... I guess it's kinda good if time stops, since we still have some problems back home... But it still doesn't add up.

I don't... really understand it, either.

[There is, but the "problems back home" bit is what catches his attention the most. Believe him when he gives the look of "don't think you won't explain that when friend is not present." Despite how much the world order has been messed with in this place, he still likes to keep at least some of it intact.]

How much of what we've seen really does? [Because hello, walking contradiction in some people's opinion.]

[Siiiigh. Oh well, best to tackle one problem at a time, especially the ones he knows he can actually handle.]

Well, still... Now, what's this about coral? I keep hearing it over and over again. What's so special about it?

[He nods faintly.] The Lamufao. The locals consider it their deity, and it seems to be connected with the tattoos we wake up with.

Yeah, I noticed that.

[he glances down at his gloved hands, as thanks to bugs, he found the tattoo out earlier.]

I was told that if we show the people 'round here those tattoos, we get supplies fer free. Do they think we're connected with the... uh... 'Lamufao'?

[Way to go, Bugs. He pauses, thinking on it a moment before responding.]

One of the theories for our being brought here is because the barrier needs power to keep those living here and they get that from us. Another is it's compensation for what we have to go through occasionally.

[...Curses. Not a fun topic.]

If they need help, I'm sure we can find a way that doesn't revolve around us stayin' here. There's always a solution, we just gotta find it.

[And the heavy frown returns. Compensation. That is not a nice word to hear.]

What is it that we have ta go through...?

Exactly. If that's the case, there has to be a way. If not, then--

[He recalls something, then shakes his head.]

We call them curses. Some are lighthearted and kind of funny, but others can be downright cruel. That along with us being pulled away from friends and family...

[He lets it hang there.]

Curses... Almost sounds like Maleficent's handiwork. I wouldn't be surprised. We're gunna have ta do a lot of investigation ta find out who's castin' these curses and keepin' us here. Is there anythin' I can do ta help around here?

[Mami has been silent for a while, letting Riku and Mickey catch up and share information that they both know. She speaks again after finding a perfect opportunity to do so.]

Ah, Riku-san and I are part of the Defense Force, your Majesty. Maybe if Arisato-niisan allows it, you could join us in helping the people here.

[...Yeah, that gets a chuckle out of him right away.]

I doubt anyone would be upset about a little extra help...

[Just his way of saying "thanks again, Mickey."]

A defense force, huh? Sounds like a great idea, sign me up! I can prove ta this... A-ri-sa-to-nii-san... that I can really help out!

[what is your moonspeak, even.]

As far as I can tell, my powers haven't been affected.

You can find him under "Minato Arisato" on the contacts directory of your S.F.C. [Wait] Do you need someone to show you how to find that?

I'll find him later...

[Though he's smiling, he seems very serious.]

I gotta find Minnie first.

...I have a feeling she's going to find you instead.

It wouldn't be the first time!

We could help you find her, you Majesty. It won't be any trouble at all.

She's right, you know... if Minnie doesn't beat us to you.

Well, where is she usually? I bet my Minnie already has her own routine.

[She gives a chuckle.] She might be on her way to find you.

Exactly. [He nods, giving the look of 'we kept her safe, don't worry.']
