Random questions.

[death-mountain.livejournal.com]

So, the other day I came up some questions off the top of my head.
-When you wake up in the morning, how does that work? Do you all wake at once, or one by one?
-Are any of your system members bilingual, or speak a language other than English and no English at all?
-How often do new members show up, or make themselves known?
-When one member is sick, or the body is sick, does everyone else get sick too?
If even a few people would care to satisfy my curiosity, I'd appreciate it. ^_^

Whoever took the body to bed may or may not be who wakes up out front. It might be one person or several.

At home we speak Lauta; we regard it as our native language and English as our second language, except for our human walk-ins. Our thoughts are encoded in Lauta and there's a translation effect any time we have to speak English at front. Jay has always insisted that everyone should learn to speak it well but when people use their own translators rather than Standard, anything goes. Jade and Andy can read French, Andy knows some church Latin, Irish and a bit of Portuguese. Jay understands Italian fluently enough to translate it off the radio. Gabe has a few words each in about thirty languages, including several conlangs. We also know some Spanish because of where we live.

If you define new system members as new frontrunners (since we are a gateway system), it could be any time.

With us, the body gets sick and whoever frontruns must deal with it. Some are more used to handling certain kinds of illnesses than others.
