plural stuff, question, boosts welcome 

So, to other plural systems. How do you communicate?

Do you have dialogues?
Is it different thoughts that are not your own?
Do head mates have their own voice (as in sound different)?
Do all head mates have the same voice?
Is communication always vocal?

Just having lots of impostor syndrome around the topic, so yeah.

@maxine
Yes, we have dialogues. Sometimes out front, in person.

Our level of acceptance is that all the thoughts are Our thoughts, but it's Complicated because brains are computers mostly made of Fat.

Headmates have their own voices, in headspace and in person. Different Cadences, tone, word choice, sentence structure.

Communications aren't always Verbal, though it's a good workout. Everyone needs to be able to use the Language Centers and develop their own voice, because communicating on autistic wavelengths all the time with headmates ruins you on In-Person interaction.

Oh, and we all have our own mental illnesses, damage, trauma, and hangups. But that's all because we've been spending Three Years mapping out our system and pushing the boundaries of Plural Arts. All so we can navigate the Real World better.
