Welcome to my world [Crow]

(@centered, reusing an open thread lel)
Bramblekit awoke in the morning answer stretched, welcoming the light and warmth of the morning sun. Unlike most cats, she didn't mind mornings. She also didn't mind not talking to others. She had her own little friends to talk to right up in her head. 
'Thats right,' one of them said even as she thought it. Her favorites were Mist and Dahlia, although she knew there were many more. They talked all the time, one of them or another, and she welcomed their presence. She made her way out into the open clearing and grabbed a mouse, sitting and relaxing to talk to her little friends in her head. 
'Good morning my little Rose,' Dahlia chimed in her ear and Bramble smiled back mentally, responding with a polite greeting as well. 
'How did you sleep?' Mist popped in with her melodic voice. 
'Good,' Bramble responded to them. 'What about you?' she added politely. Even though they didn't acctually sleep, they liked to be spoken to as real cats. 
'Good,' Mist responded and Bramble could incision the supposedly calico cat smiling hugely at her like a child, white Dahlia, the older an drew more mother like white cat sat in the backround watching them talk. Suddenly another cat popped into the bubble. It took Bramble a moment to realize it wasn't one of her own cats she was imagining, but rather a real one. She blinked in surprised before physically smiling at the other cat. 
"Hello," the brown tabby greeted, slightly flustered.

Crowkit was curious about the kitten talking to herself. Perhaps... He would not need to instigate something for this encounter to be interesting. He approached, his usual blank expression on his face and he sat down before her. He tilted his head, scanning her up from down. Hm... He wondered if she had visual hallucinations and were mixing them up with reality, the way she'd been talking to the air.

"Are you talking to yourself, or cats you think are there?" He asked bluntly.

(Yeah, sorry)

Bramblekit was slightly shocked by the question, but she shook her head. She wasn't sure how to respond, as it was a little bit of both. It took her a moment before she used an answer Mist acctually provided, which ment it sounded a lot more childish than it would have been had they been Bramble's own words.

"Neither. I'm talking to little voices floating around in my head. They can read some of my thoughts, I think, and I can invision them if I want to. You see they can also talk to me in cat form in dreams." she said, in the tone of a wide eyed kit, although her face was rather neutral.

'You had to copy her? We want you interacting with other cats, not scaring them away,' Dahlia sighed into her mind, clearly exsasperated, though Bramblekit responded with a simple roll of the eyes. This cat had asked and it was the first thing that came to mind. She was pretty sure sitting and staring would have gone across much worse.

Crowkit nodded sagely. At first, the psycho kitten had seemed to not know how to answer the question. It was amusing, in of itself. He wondered if she did this a lot. Maybe he could claim he forgot later, and ask it again to see if she did the same thing again. 

"Ah.... So you're crazy." He concluded. "So, why do you talk to them out loud? If they can read your thoughts, apparently, why doesn't it go both ways?" He asked, as if he had not called her crazy a moment ago. He noticed her neutral expression. That part was a bit boring... But the voices part was interesting enough to get him hooked.

Then the psycho rolled her eyes all of a sudden. "Let me guess, one of your voices?" He asked. Well, it was rhetorical question... But he wanted to make sure. But then again... What else could it be, really? Or maybe he'd said something eye roll worthy. Who knows, really. He didn't get this whole... Niceness thing that other cats did.

Bramblekit nodded slowly, making sure to clearly direct it at the other kit. "Yeah. Dahlia thinks I shouldn't have told you that because you might run away. I really don't care, but she has a mother like level of protectiveness." she responded, then thought for a moment about the black kit's other question. "I suppose I could. Dahlia and Mist are the two I ussually hear. I don't need to speak for them to understand what I'm thinking, but all the other ones I need to at least mouth what I'm saying for them to understand. I suppose it's just because it's more natural to speak aloud."

'Now that's not true, is it?' Mist asked, and Bramble invisioned the huge eyed kit. They thought that their world would be more natural to her as Bramble spent more time there, but the real world was the one that Shen lived or died in, so she figured she would always find ignorant more natural.

"I'm Bramblekit." the supposed phyco introduced herself. It was true she guessed, she was crazy.

Crowkit shook his head. "Nah, I won't run away. You're too interesting." A disturbing spark seemed to glitter in his dull, blue eyes, bringing a rare spark of life to his orbs. "Dahlia and Mist, huh...? Sounds like outsider names. How come they don't have names like your's?" He tilted his head. "Are you adopted?" He asked. He hummed in response. "How many do you hear?" He asked, yet another question. "What's so special about those two voices in particular? Do you know? Or do you not know?" His tail thumped against the ground, slightly excited. "I'd prefer it if you knew, but I suppose that'd be outside your control."

He tilted his head. "Are you telling me your name, so I'll tell you mine?"

[Deleted]

Bramblekit tilted her head at the cherade of question she and chose to take them one at a time. "I'm not sure why Dahlia and Mist don't have names like mine. Maybe they are really Miskitand Dahlia... well I don't know, Dahliapetal, but that's what they call themselves. Mist and Dahlia. And I am not adopted. I am one of  Sorrelpatch's kits." she started, "I hear a lot of different voices, maybe twenty in total, but the other don't care for talking and they may be only a few cats really that talk in different tones. Without asking them which I don't bother I couldn't know. I think that Dahlia and Mist are the Moreno curious of the bunch, Well, at least Mist is and Dahlia follows her to watch over her. Really it's them in particular because they are the ones that bother talking to me a lot." she shrugged, then mentally asked Dahlia if she remembered the last question, as she was pretty sure she had answered all the others.

'Yeah Bramble, he asked rather rudely why you shared your name,' she's responded and Bramblekit thanked her aloud, though quietly.

"I shared my name so you'd have something to call me."

[Deleted]

Crowkit took in the information. "Hm..." He wasn't sure about the names thing, and the lack of knowledge irked him a bit. He supposed he could chalk it up to Bramblekit's mind being strange, having created voices and all. He disliked the absence of logic in the faux explanation... But he supposed he'd have to deal. Even if he didn't like it. "Oh. That makes us siblings. At least half-siblings. Sorrelpatch birthed me as well." He didn't really understand the concept of family and mothers all that well... So he just considered Sorrelpatch the cat who was responsible for his existence. 

"Hm.... I see. Why don't you ask?" He was going to add that he never particularly cared if he was bothersome... But he was beginning to understand his personality was somewhat... Off-putting. He didn't care like he should. So, he omitted such things from his head to get better and more frequent answers. "Is Dahlia older?" He asked suddenly.

"Do you need something to refer to me as?"

[Deleted]

Bramble shook her head. "I just don't feel like it. I prefer not knowing. Then I won't know how many new random voices I'll meet," she responded.

'And some of them are really scary,' Mist added, but Bramble didn't say it out loud. She found that Mist thought everything was scary and she wasn't sure that they acctually were.

"Yes," she said instead, "I always imagine Dahlia to be older. Mist is a kit in every way, but Dahlia is always the cautious one." she shrugged. She supposed it was all in her head, so what did it really matter.

'What does it really matter?' Mist asked angerly and Bramble almost flinched. So it did matter, but what did it matter she gave the other cat the right details.

"No, I don't need something to call you." she responded to his final question after a moment. "I don't understand why everybody makes a big deal about knowing everybody else's names."

[Deleted]

Crowkit huffed. "I don't understand you." He told her bluntly. "I don't like not knowing things." He really didn't. If he didn't know something, he tried to take the answers. He didn't care how. It never really mattered to him. 

He tilted his head. That was interesting. He found it interesting that completely different personalities could exist in her head, not just being different facets of her personality apparently. Or maybe it was, and he just couldn't see it. The urge to try anything to take the answers was strong. He resolved to come up with a good plan at some point.

He wondered what the flinching was about. He tilted his head again. "Someone say something... Shocking...?" He asked, unable to omit the morbid curiosity from his voice. He smiled just a bit, but it was less out of happiness or joy... More at satisfaction at hearing an answer he liked. "That's nice. I suppose it's because cats enjoy having something to refer to each other than isn't 'it' or 'that crazy kid.' I believe most cats tend to be rather sensitive to such language."

[Deleted]

Bramblekit shrugged. She didn't like not knowing things either, but she felt that it wouldn't be the safest idea to ask. Some, at least one or two, were dangerous, and she didn't want to uncover any secrets about them. That would not be safe.

She also shook her head to his next question. Shocking? No. In anger? Yes, but Mist and Dahlia were never shocking. She knew them well enough to subconsciously not be shocked.

"I suppose. I don't mind being called crazy, but they mind calling me it."

[Deleted]

Crowkit hummed in response. "Then... Why did you flinch? Was it something said with unexpected intensity?" He inquired. He didn't really care if it had bothered Bramblekit, he was just curious as to what caused the flinching. He wanted to know what it was, so he could try it out on other cats.

He tilted his head. "Did I refer to you as it?"

[Deleted]

Bramblekit wasn't exsactly sure what to say, and she was the slightest bit unnerved by this other kit. "No. There are more than one reason for flinching you know. Pain guilt, stuff like that." her tone was upset and that showed on her face, although she tried to hold it back. "Why do you care?" she blurted out, also not meaning to. She heard Dahlia's voice in her ear comforting her, but she brushed it aside.

[Deleted]

Crowkit completely disregarded any signs of Bramblekit's discomfort with his... Uniqueness. "Mm... I see." That was interesting. "What do you know about guilt?" He asked. He didn't know anything about it. Not really. He never felt remorse for anything he did. Ever. He rolled his eyes. "I don't. I'm just curious." He said, actually electing to be honest. He figured lying was no use in this situation, honestly.

[Deleted]

Bramblekit shrugged. "I know you don't have to feel it if you don't do anything wrong. I've never had anything to be guilty about so i cant tell you much more." she responded.

'Well, we do keep you from doing guilt-worthy stuff for a reason,' Dahlia said and it was such a thing that she would say that Bramble had to laugh. She was always saying not to do this or that. And ussually Bramble listened.
