@monsterblue In my case, physical Contact with the Vessel means I can get a LAN connection to that person's Spirit(s) instead of a remote connection with a ton of Static.
Granted, I'm unusual. Living with another Dragon means sometimes his Aura gets too big for his Room, and it starts spilling out everywhere. And that's hard to put into Text. XD
To a Human, who can't see what you are, they default to the Meatsuit.
I see the meatsuit as the PC case, hardware, and monitor and interface devices for the Soul that's inside. A means to an End.
Physical Closeness means I can Care for the Souls that are important to me, Directly. Don't have to do so damn much thru the Spirit World.
