Alt to the alt: Or, if that is too specific, have you ever seen a dead body?

I saw a motorcyclist die at the side of the road when I was 10.
My Dad and I waited with him until the ambulance turned up. He lost the bike on a corner and hit a tree, smashing his head. You could see the claret coming out of the bottom of his crash helmet.

We had a student here die in her bed in halls
She was discovered when her parents phoned the Uni to say she wasn't answering her phone. MAde a change from previous years where we lost students because they jumped off the harbour wall when the tide was out.

The student tradition here is the go to the harbour wall, strip naked and jump in to the sea.
Every single year someone jumps without checking if the tide is in and breaks one or both legs. One year a lass broke her thigh and bone marrow got in her bloodstream. This killed her.

hi! i was wondering what the differenc between fictionkin and fictive is? also, what is a headmate?
Headmate: Any conscious and separate entity sharing the body of another conscious and separate entity. The root word here is ‘roommate’. Basically using a room as a metaphor for the mind. Two or more people share the same ‘head’ together. All fictives are headmates, but not all headmates are fictives. Non-fictive headmates are often called ‘in-sourced’. A group of headmates sharing one body are referred to as a ‘system’ or ‘multiple system’.

Fictive: A headmate in a multiple system who has a fictional origin. For example Cloud Strife. A Cloud Strife fictive would share headspace with other fictives or insourced system members. He would have a concrete identity as Cloud, with all or most of his memories from his ‘canon’ in tact.

Fictionkin: A person, either a singlet, or a headmate in a multiple system who identifies as a fictional character either spiritually or psychologically. For example, believing that you were that character in a past life.
