Connecting with other systems

[teh-kerry.livejournal.com]

Something we did the other day, that freaked us out marginally, and we were wondering if anyone else had experienced it before.

There's this other system that we're pretty close to - most of us have partners over there, we spend a lot of time with them and we're pretty involved in their affairs. For a while, we've known that we can make some sort of connection with them - we can visit their 'inside', and they can visit ours.

Normally, we need some sort of external physical connection to do this, but recently, we've worked out that we can 'leave people' over there temporarily. They leave our system, and take up residence over there - they can even take front over there, which is pretty freaky. For reasons that're way too complex to go into now, we 'left' Liam and Steve over there the other day, to help out with something.

This has affected us a lot more than we thought it would. It feels really weird not having around two people who we're used to having around, and we don't have a chance to 'retrieve' them until Tuesday. Which might not seem like long, but it feels incredibly odd to have two pretty important members of our system missing, even for a couple of hours.

We were just wondering if anyone else has done or tried something like this before, and if anyone has any tips for coping without two people who we're used to relying on and having around.

Many thanks, at least they might calm down now, lol.

Yeah, that's the address :) I'll warn you though, there isn't as much scope for guy icons, they tend to all look the same. There's only a very limited number of guyish hairstyles. That's fine if you have a small group, but we have 20ish guys, and none of the pics look that different.

*smiles* there's only 2 main guys so we're good at the moment :)

Like Kelly said, we have 20ish of us, and we all look very similar when you compare all the pics. *sigh* You're lucky having so few of you, it gets really confusing with all of us.

Btw, we can't take credit for using that site for pics first - Pack Collective (or something - sorry, I'm bad with names!) gave it out about a couple of months ago, and we've been using it ever since.

Even then, ya've only got what, 5 of ya? We've got 15 icons on here - can't be arsed to pay for an account - and we all look a bit similar anyway, loads of us have short black hair or something.

Ya did it anyway, so yeah, well done I suppose.
