On waking up: Doesn't seem concrete, but we do have a harder time switching in and out in the morning and late at night, as though some of us were still asleep. But then, that just might be because we're tired and not concentrating as well.
On bilingual: We've been studying Japanese for five years, and I've got a feeling one of us has a thicker American accent in than the rest of us, but no real discrepancies in knowledge.
On showing up: In the roughly five and a half years we've been like this, we've had the same exact ranks for about two years. Before that, we had pretty much the same ranks, except two of us were integrated, so the only "major" change was one of us suddenly digging herself out of the ground. And then she was just there and gave us all a scare.
On sickness: Generally, the illness affects whoever is fronting--and that's usually me. I have noticed that an illness will sometimes set me back more than the others, fronting or not, and one of us can ignore sickness better than the rest of us. I consider that more mind over matter, rather than any special changes she puts on the body.
