Multiple system stuff
As open as I am about the multiple personalities stuff here, I try and keep it to the Practical.
Some days though, Yaori is bouncing around in our head and she's something so improbable that Keri keeps subjecting her to Voight-kamph style testing to make damn sure she's not a freudian construct or Tulpa or false-flag evil spirit.
And she's frustrating, because Her understanding of what she is leads to a lotta questions having a 'Well, Yes, And..." kinda answer. Or it's along the lines of 'Well, nobody told me I couldn't use your subconscious as a radio transmitter to get into other people's dreams'
So it's a bit different than most of the plural folks I know here.
"What are you doing?"
The princess wiped the sweat off her brow and looked down at the knight.
"I'm building a tower."
"Why?"
"For safety."
"From whom?"
"From knights. No offence."
"You do not need to fear knights!"
"I don't. But my dragon does. This is for him."

One of the biggest lessons to learn in life is that you're allowed to say no, and when's the time to do it.
It's a lesson for your personal life, your work life, when you're interacting with friends and strangers alike.
Yet it often feels like we're taught to feel guilty for doing so, from our childhood on: you're not supposed to say "no" to someone, you say "yes" and "thank you".
The other lesson is respecting someone else's no without making them feel guilty.
I'm talking witch shit with a unicorn, worried about a ringtail, and I'm gonna go talk gearhead shit with a fox and a dragon while taking RC trucks rock crawling in the woods later on.
And probably do some car repair.
Sometimes I'm worried I developed multiple systems just because my life got stupid complex.
Tohri: Other witches get precognition and visions and the usual forms of True Seeing.
I get machine visions. Lately they've been of large scale chemjet weapons. Where instead of a powder charge in a Shell, you have say, Diesel fuel and Nitric Acid injected behind the warhead, and all you have to feed into the Gun is the warhead or penetrator.
And I've been trying to get Out of mil-spec!
@skolli Keri: You know, the ferret who lives upstairs from us reminds me a lot of Korki, just without all the stinky badbrain stuff.
He's a councilor for troubled teens. =P
Internalized misandry (-)
So, I grew up with a strong feminine presence in my early life.
And a LOT of weak, greedy, or otherwise failed men.
And a Lot of male peers who treated me like dirt.
So I've got, uh, Baggage. The Tohri part of me still identifies as Male, but it's hurtful for him because a lot of our friends have been Badly abuse by men and... Well, it just reinforces all the misandric shit we grew up with.
And Kerithe is probably the result of a longing for an existence with a different context. At least at First.
It makes it almost impossible to feel sexy or desirable or wanted when I'm Tohri. I feel like I need to Hide, try and be as Harmless or as invizable as possible. I know I don't have to be that way, but I'm just... I dunno, ashamed. I feel like the big gross dragon the rest of the woodland critters let into their villiage because he's helpful, but never really trusted.
Southern Mass's local machine healer and part time witchdoctor.
Tiny motorcycles, magic potions, machine tools, progressive rock, trance states, and hand sharpened drill bits. Oh, and I read Tarot. Probably 18+ just to be sure.
