different denotes neither bad nor good, but it certainly means Not The Same

“The Child of Riddles, who rules a great and twisting ??? of ??? in the depths of ???, embodies the branch relating to a very particular sort of puzzle. Be careful not to wander his kingdom for too long, lest you be consumed by the ???.”

☾ The Cat ☽
he/him || feline || twisted

Is he good? Is he bad? Is he Right, or is he Wrong?
All who meet him may tell a different tale.
Even he himself is not sure.

A bizarre and maleable being that seems to shift and waver like the push and pull of a tide, unrestrained by physics as the waking world would expect, and unbound to any perceptable moral code. It is unknown if his unstable state is controlled by his own will, or the will of W?NDRL?ND.

? Which Way ?
Cat's kingdom. Through a knot-hole in a tree deep within W?NDRL?ND, between the pages of a book painted with a smile in the Aetheneum, around the corner on the eerie red First Floor, or peeking from between the deepest roots of the Nightmare Tree; the entrance to the Kingdom of the Cheshire Cat can be found anywhere within the long and twisting Labyrinth, as long as one knows what to look for.

A flicker of neon light, darting through the air and forming the shape of a smile like a crescent moon. The flash of a tiny red or green tail, darting out of sight. A quiet hum singing a distant half-remembered tune, luring visitors into the depths of Which Way.

The true form of Which Way is not something that can be put to words. It is a shifting neon tilt-a-whirl of shapeless whimsy, constantly changing like an image on the surface of a lake scattered by a skipping stone. Though it settles into twisted mazes, towering forests, and overwhelming cityscapes to guide its visitors along looping paths, it is never one way for long.

In spite of its formless nature, there are particular 'regions' that seem to pop up again and again if one visits often enough.

♔ That Way: The Castle of the right hemisphere of Riddles, the treat known as Right.

♚ This Way: The Castle of the left hemisphere of Riddles, the treat known as Wrong.

♥ The Rabbit Hole: A place with no known entry or exit, accessible only to those who Cat has deemed a ‘threat’ to himself, his family, or his kingdom. It is an endless fall through the layers of his labyrinthine Kingdom; a whirlwind of neon shapes and images. The fall is so fast and far that, at times, the images on the walls appear to ‘animate’ like the pages of a flip-book. For those who are truly unlucky, this place leads to Nowhere, the deepest realm of Which Way.

♠ Nowhere: An infinite maze, a true Labyrinth, which cannot be escaped without either appeasing or defeating Catharsis himself.

☽ Curiouser: When entering the Kingdom of another, Cat's Legendary Branch causes elements of W?NDRL?ND to leak in. A mome rath here. A watchful blue-leafed pink rose there. Blue and yellow paths that lead in circles. A creeping invasion of whimsy that overtakes the land with each passing moment.
