A few questions on how systems work

[raven-system.livejournal.com]

Hello everyone,

I am a system member of the lj account I am posting with. You can find postings y or system, as well as a picture gallery of us on our LJ, feel free to add us :)My name is Hayden and I am otherkin (kitsune) and I am interested in how systems work.

Due to certain events in the body's main personnas/hosts life, I have been fronting for over a day now, which is the longest for me ever. Usually its a few hours at the most. With Sam (the host) having a girlfriend, its awkward when she wants to see her boyfriend, and one of us are out, and she will usually tell us to go away. I'm not usually offended but Alex gets very offended by that, as he loves fronting and experiencing the world first-hand.

Do you think thats fair at all?

Also, when fronting today, I was surpised that I knew things, even though I, myself had not ever learned them. For instance I went to the hospital and knew the way, I knew the dr's name, even how to cook food. Does anyone else experience this sort of universal know-ho when fronting? I just thought it was interesting, thats all :)

We usually do have that shared know-how. It seems to come with fronting. There are occasionally times when one or the other of us will just blank, but usually the memory is there, it just takes a little more digging to find it. It's pretty disconcerting for some of us when those who aren't out often come out and can't find that sort of info and skills, so we try to leave room for people to be out when it won't cause problems. That seems to be our most annoying problem with being multiple. There's a lot of us, but only one life to share between us.

I don't really think it's fair of her to tell others to go away. I mean, I know that people generally expect that sort of continuity of personality, but if she accepts that you all are sharing a body, then I think she should be making an effort to get to know the others and be friendly instead of just focusing on the one that satisfies what she's looking for. In my book it's pretty selfish. Maybe that's harsh, but I do think it's kind of rude to not be interested in getting to know the rest of you.
