Mido nodded, then shook his head, "it's kind of like that...For most spirits." He tapped his chin, "many aren't strong enough to make themselves known to me in any way other than on a mental plane." He tapped the side of his head, "I can get whispers, voices, flashes from their lives, I can allow them to inhabit my body to give them a physical voice, and I have...Some entities though..." He glanced over at her, "some appear to me as a visible human form, some articulate and speak in full conversations. Usually the more powerful a spirit is the better they are at speaking." He nodded.
He was surprised when she seemed to fluster a little at her own words, laughing softly and putting a hand on her shoulder, "it's fine, breath, I know that's not what you meant." He sighed and looked to the side, "sometimes it does drive me a little crazy...Or I feel crazy..." He frowned a little, "when I was younger and this was happening, there was a period where my mother feared I was schizophrenic, and there was a period where I believed it. It was easier." He shook his head, "but I learned that it was not in my head...Or it was...But not in that sense." He glanced down, "I learned to pretend to be normal, so that people would stop calling me a sideshow freak..."
He laughed at this, looking a little tired, "I tune it out as best I can...It doesn't work...I take medicine regularly for the migraines it causes...Sleeping pills...Things that just kind of shut my brain down for a little while." He rubbed a hand over his arm, "I don't like taking sleeping pills though...Because this stuff...I get nightmares often...From the spirits around me...I'd rather be dead on my feet that trapped in my own head, you know?"
