You know that feeling when you’re talking to someone (that is, some barely-aware psychological construct-thing??) who could maybe become a (fictive) headmate for a bit? Like, it’s one of those cases where if you stop talking to him, he’ll probably just disappear and it won’t have been anything, but if you decide to keep talking with him, maybe engage with the source material a bit more, he might just wind up a full-fledged headmate, at least for as long as fictives usually stick around this system.

And you’re curious because ooo people and also ooo what does this say about our collective subconscious, or whatever, if anything? But at the same time, ugh, people, and new headmates always include an unpredictable period of business and shifting around and “what’s this? what’s that?”. Besides, although this is a completely normal part of the development of the system—in fact, it’s been weirdly long since there’s been anyone other than the main four here—maybe since you can prevent this new person, you should. <sarcasm>More headmates is always worse, and besides, a fictive? Ugh. The fact that you even have the slightest desire to keep talking to him means that you’re trivializing multiplicity, DID and otherwise. </sarcasm>

Yeah, that’s what I’m feeling.
