Reality TV Can Come From Your Head Too.

1. Welcome to the House! Introduce the OC's and what their luxury item would be.

[1] Krade Derick Cullen, acoustic guitar        [2] Carolina Marie Sterling Ashmore, crossbow

[3] Isaiah Codwell, props for pranks       [4] Liberty Walgrave, Mombo - her snake

[5] Alexander Dalton, first aid kit & cooking stuff       [6] Eleanor Rucket, acting gear.

2. There are 3 bedrooms, 1 with 2 double beds, 1 with 2 single beds and 1 with only 2 matresses on the floor. Who pairs up with whom, is there an argument over who should get the better room, and how is this resolved?

Krade & Zander have some class so they allow the ladies to chose first oppose to Isaiah who immediately runs to the bedroom with the double beds hopping on the one closets to the door. (It makes sneaking people in & out easier if they have a shorter walk to the door.)

Eleanor would be too distracted by everything to go right to a room so Cali would happily take the second double bed while laying down the law to the young prince that hopefully would learn some manners while they lived together. Eleanor would happily take the single bed as she doesn't need much room. Liberty takes a bed on the floor far away from any doors or windows, she's the parinod type after all.

Zander has been taught to respect his elders, so Krade happily saunters into the open mattered on the floor making Liberty a bit less up tight about the whole thing leaving Zander with a ADHA actor in a single bed.

3. Now they've decided where they're sleeping, they make their way to the living room but find that it is empty expect for a few large and heavy boxes which hold the furniture which [1] and [4] have been told to put together within a time limit, how well do they do?

Krade moved stuff for a living for years & Liberty would most likely just try to make weapons or shelter out of everything so Krade is stuck doing everything besides asking Liberty to bring him this or that. The whole time he is doing it though he is most likely making inappropriate jokes every time he gets the chance making him not stay within the time limit but at least it looks livable. 

4. The furniture's together, now for dinner and a rest! [2] and [5] are designated for cooking first. What do they cook? Do they work well together? Does their cooking go down well?

Cali has had too many children to count anymore & was a mother to her sisters when she was younger so cooking is something she has learned how to do over the years. Zander has been rasied with a house mom & cooking was how they would spend time together most of the time so he has been taught by more then a master. 

Everyone loves the meal but maybe Liberty but for a barbarian that is to be expected. 

5. A few days pass and a relationship is growing between [3] and [6], is it a good one or is it a bad one? What measures are made to make their relationship blossom, or stop them from attacking each other on sight?

El is more of a monogamous type of person & tends not to pick up on clues, or hints, when people drop them so Isaiah's attempts at sleeping with her fail with no consequence until Cali lets her in on what was going on which makes that light bulb go off in her head. She shrugs if off though & continues to entertain everyone with her antics. 

6. A week has passed and it's time for an eviction! Someone hasn't put in their penny's worth and needs to be gotten rid of. Choose one OC, and have them say their weepy, or exuberant, goodbyes.

Cali's the mom who can be a scary bitch so no one would want to get rid of her, Krade is the clown & everyone likes to laugh, Isaiah is the slut causing all the drama, Zander is the peacekeeping-momma's boy, & El is just to darn entertaining. Though liberty is unique in her own way (hunting her own food in the yard & scaring the neighbors, she must go.

Liberty would just grab Mombo & leave to go back to her forest without saying a word. Krade would most likely be more upset not to be shearing a room anymore.

7. There's a siren in the middle of the night! [1] has tried to escape with [3] as accomplice, however they are both caught, who blames whom, and what is their punishment? Do the other house-mates suffer for it?

Krade would say that it was Isaiah idea because he had some condoms & noticed the nice looking fella's next door that had some nice looking drinks too. Isaiah would be flabergaster int he most dramatic why a Codwell could be & tell everyone why it was Krade's fault in an extravagant way. NO body knows who's fault it truly is so Cali would put them on chore duty for at least a week in which they both mumble & complain until she gives them "they look."  

8. The next task appointed for them arrives in the form of a letter and a pack of bendy wires. They pick up the letter and read that housemates [2] and [4] must make a cube using the fewest number of wires possible within 30 minutes of time. Do they manage it?

Liberty was effect for not being entertainer enough so Carolina goes to work rather quickly getting it all done in a nice timely manor using 4-6 wires. 

9. That evening, they find alcohol in the refridgerator and a karaoke machine in the living room. However, it is incredibly hard to set up and it's instructions are in Japanese. [5] and [6] are bullied into geting it sorted. How do they get on?

Zander pulls out everything laying it down nice & neat while looking over the pictures to try to figure out how it goes. El, being the fangirl that she is, has picked up enough Japaneses to get it all working in just enough time for everyone to have a good time while drinking & watching El dance about & sing in a drunkin state. Kadre would get up & dance to male people laugh as well as sing badly into the mic. Cali would stand back & watch the fun then would be on clean up duty afterwards.

10. Eviction time! Eviction this time is based upon house-mates behaviour and performance in the last week, and sadly, [1] and [3]'s escape attempt has not impressed the higher hand.

[1] or [3] must go, choose, and have them say goodbye.

Krade would begin complaining about how he didn't understand how it was such a bad thing to go mingle with other people then the house mates & Isaiah would begin to ramble on about how if there was more attractive people in the house he might now have been swayed to go so easily. Eventually they play rock, paper scissors by the Queen Bee's command where Isaiah cheats sending Krade packing.

Krade: Even though he cheated, I will be the adult & walk away from the situation so that no one else will get punished & then thank me later. However, I will say I am happy to be free from this place so that I can do what I want again. Later suckers!

11. Confessions Time! Having been together for two weeks, how do the house-mates feel about the others? How do they feel about the evictions? Let's listen to them now.

Cali doesn't mind this at all, it's actually not much different then home besides not having her lover there. Zander shrugs about it all, he tends to keep to himself & doesn't really have much of an opinion about the rest. El REALLY likes Cali as a role model because she's never really had a real mom like that before, & Isaiah finds all of this rather dumb & hates that he is in a room with the "mom" of the house but Zander is looking pretty good. 

12. [1] and [4] have become very close, and [6] is jealous and decides to confront [4] about it, what happens?

Krade & Liberty have both been evicted so El really doesn't have a reason to be jealous. 

13. Their next task is to simply tidy the house, however, they have to do it blindfold, [5] cheats and [2] does nothing, such disobedience so late in the game earns them a time-out and their luxury item is taken away, how do they cope?

Cali wasn't about to hurt herself cleaning blindfolded but her Crossbow wasn't all that useful anyways. Zander didn't even realize he was cheating by being able to see through the blindfold so he apologizes & starts to look through the kitchen to see what he can still cook without his supplies.

14. Due to the cheating in the previous task, the electricity in the building is cut, and the living room is locked off from them. [4] suggests a game of hide-and-seek, does anyone get injured in the dark? Does anyone take this moment to be naughty with another housemate?

Liberty has been evicted but El LOVES games in the dark & begins to count. Isaiah takes the opportunity to convince Zander to go to his room with him & Cali indulges El as a mother would.

15. The living room is open to them again and inside is a television, an XBOX and four Guitar Hero guitars, a not stuck on the television let's them know that it is a play-off between [3] and [6]. Who wins, and did they realise the loser would be evicted?!

El is a nerd so of course she won in which she does her happy dance around Isaiah to taunt him which just makes him raise his eye brow & begin to pack his things after wards. He got want he wanted out of one of his house mates, now to move on to the next good looking person he feels like perusing. 

16. With only three house-mates left, tension starts to rise, [1] becomes super-competitive and starts taking over any tasks given to them. [1] accepts a task before even hearing it, and it's challenging them to sit in a bath of maggots for half an hour. How does [1] react and  do they complete the task?

Krade has been evicted to & even if her was there he is terrified of bugs & would run away screaming like a little girl.

17. Another Confession. Poor [2] is starting to suffer from cabin fever and is sure the others are out to get them. Let's listen to their ranting.

Cali: I'm not sure exactly why Zander spends so much time in the kitchen looking at the food over & over again as if the options are going to change but it does worry me that he is actually trying to think of a way to get rid of me & El quicker for the game to be over. He does seem like he is getting bored after all. El on the other hand seems to be getting bored after having to much energy early on in the game which makes me wonder what she is up to...

18. The house-mates realise they are quite quickly running out of food, and find three unlabelled tins in a cupboard, with blindfolds next to them and a letter explaining that two tins are sliced peaches, one is dog-food, they must each choose a tin with their blindfolds on. Who gets the dog-food, and evicted?

Zander would hesitate before grabbing one of the cans. Cali would wait for the young ones to go first & get whatever was left. El though would grab any of them not realizing that it was a challenge before Zander could tell her & in her hast would grab the dog food. Mooping the whole time she would pack her things & leave.

19. The final task denotes the winner of the entire game, the final two house-mates are given an envelope, inside is the instrutions of their last task, they simply are.

"Choose."

Does this shock them? Do they choose themselves as the winner or the other? Do they give their own victory up, or are they selfish?

Carolina would look at Zander with a smile giving him a kiss on the forehead before congratulating him & bowing out. Zander though would try his hardest to give the winning title to her until she gave him this "look" which he knew so well from his own mother that he would take the title as winner.

20. Now it's (quite abruptly) over, tag someone!

THE END

~Cyran J. Harrington~

Multiplicity Challenge

So I'm not sure how many of you actually know this about me but this is the reason my blog in mane what it is. Have fun. 

1. How do you communicate? (Do you ever hear each other’s voices? Do you ever talk to/with each other out loud? Do you ever leave notes for one another? Do you ever communicate without words (using images/feelings/colors/etc.)?) 

We actually do a bit of all of this to be honest, & it depends on the situation. Alot of the time now-a-days it’s by words that I hear them say. 

2. How do you find new members? (Do you find other members mostly through journaling? Or can you see and hear them?)

For the most part if just hear them, or feel them. Then their name just kind of pops comes to me.

3. How do you choose who wears what? Do you argue over clothing styles?

Oh god, all the time. The girls always have something to complain about (Mostly Emma @.@) & seeing how Kradonous wears Egyptian robe type things he finds them quite constricting. 

 4. How are decisions made in the front (consensus/majority rules/one person makes them/other)? 

It always has been, & always will be, whatever is best for the host. (Me, Cyran/Yuki) Because I am out the most so I will have to deal with the repercussions.

 5. Is knowledge shared equally or do some people have access to things that other people don’t? 

To the main on’s that front knowledge is shared but to those who aren’t out as much usually don’t know as much. It really depends. 

6. Can you remember things that other people in your group do? Are you aware of what happens in the front when you’re not there?

Yes, I don’t like not knowing what is going on with MY body so I know everything that is going on at all times (even if I trust them whole haretedly. ) it’s just not something I am comfortable with. 

 7. Do you remember dreams? Are they your own? Do you share each other’s dreams? 

I think there was one time that Krade, or Kradonous went to sleep in the body & I saw their dream but it doesn’t happen often, or at all really. They do tend to share my dreams though. 

 8. Do you all take responsibility when you wrong somebody as a group effort, more collective apology or do you expect the person who did the wrong to fess up? 

Do you mean to each other or to the outsiders? 

Either way, we all take responsibility for our own actions. 

9. Is there one in your group that stays in the body for more time than the rest? (How often do your primary front-runners change? How often do frontiers switch out? Is fronting a skill that has to be taught?)

The host stays out the most as it’s the host’s life & they are the main fronter. The rest come out at night (as that’s when the host is doing the least.) When they are asked for by someone, or if they want to enjoy something briefly (A cig, a song, or a movie maybe.) If the host can’t handle something they will come out too but that doesn’t happen as often as it used to. For the most part they just give advice if needed or asked for. Or witty comments. Depending on what is wanted/needed at the time. 

10. How do you parcel out time during waking hours between work, school, hobbies, and social commitments? Is it left up to whoever is in the front or do you plan it out? How do you balance money/space usage?

Space in a living space? The money that we make is all Cyran/Yuki’s so he decided how everyone uses it but he uses it mostly for what he needs/wants. We don’t plan anything in advance. It just happens when wanted needed. But host take first priority, & makes all the calls unless they are unable to do that at the time. 

11. Are there noticeable differences with who fronts? How can an outsider recognize a switch? How would I know whom in your group I’m speaking to? Do you announce yourselves? What’s the most polite way to ask who I’m talking to? What if I want to talk to (name) but (name) is out?

Yes, there is. For Kradonous it’s his accent or the way he speaks, he also is a king so his speech is MUCH different then anyone else. Krade has a deeper voice & (as of right now) is blind so he typically has his eyes closed, he also tends to be really cras but has a HUGE heart. For Emma, the voice goes up to a much more girly tone, she is super rude, holds nothing back & if she doesn’t like you god forbid because she won’t hold back. For Carolina (We call her Cali) she holds herself very up right, the voice go very soft & she is more of a mother then anyone will ever be. Those are the easiest to notice & the one’s that come out when in an emergency anymore. The rest you just kinda learn as you go.

If you want to talk to someone then just ask whoever is out to find them, or call for them if they aren’t their. If, for some reason, they can’t get to you we will pass a message to them & as soon as they can get to you they will. 

12. Ever have someone stuck at the front? What makes you get stuck here or home?

This happened a long time ago but it’s not longer an issue so I don’t have a good answer.

13. How do people compensate for not having their bodies out front (ex. not matching the body’s gender or appearance)? How does the physical body impact upon the consciousness? Particularly in cases where the gender or even species are different, does it have some profound effects on the way you’d interact with or view the world?

It honestly depends on who’s out at that time. Most of the guys just get over it & consider it an “adventure” (unless the body is doing that once a month thing) the girls just complain about how much they hate they body not being more…”girly.” Most everyone copes nicely with everything though.

14. What age range do you have in your system? Do younger or older front runners have a hard time not being in an age appropriate body? Do you have children/minors in your system? What, if any, restrictions do you place on their behavior, in-system and publicly?

The age range is crazy. I think our youngest (Right now) is 3? & the oldest is centuries old. Again, everyone copes pretty well. The parents control the kids in-system & the younger one’s just don’t come out in public to make thing easy for everyone. Doesn’t seem wise to let a 3 year old out to do whatever in a 21 year old’s body, no? Haha.

15. If you could call what you are something other than MPD/DID, natural Plural or Multiple what other term might you use? Or do you like one of the existing ones? Do you call yourselves a system?

We use Medium personally, but when we are not around people who believe in such things we say Multiple. Different people need different terms. We consider ourselves a system to a sense as everyone is in it for the same goal.  

16. How do you all decide how much of yourselves is public? Do you tell everyone that you’re multiple? Are you more comfortable around other multiples than around singlets?

We decide weather they are going to be someone who is going to be close to us or not & if they aren’t then we never mention it, but if we decide we want the to stay we let them know what’s up. If they stay, that’s great, if they go then it’s all good too. Everyone has their opinion & a right to it. We are comfortable around everyone, as long as they are willing to understand us.

17. How do you keep track of who is in your system?

We used to try & keep a list but now we just let who ever wants to be known known & who ever doesn’t fade away. The main one’s are turely the only one’s that matter for everyone sanity/protection.

19. When did you all realize you were a group? Have there always been several people in your body since birth?

We REALIZED it when the body was 16 but we have tracked it back to when the body was 5 or so. We think it’s been this way from birth honestly.

20. Did something “cause” your multiplicity? Do you believe in the medical model at all, for yourself or others?

We don’t see each other as “personalities.” The host sees everyone as spirits that “come to stay.” (Goes back to being a Medium.) I can’t talk for others but I do believe everyone is different. 

21. Tell me about your ideas on integration and separateness. How does it affect your worldview?

We can’t actually give you an answer to this at the moment. 

22. Does anyone in your household/group lose time?

No.

23. Does your system as a whole deal with other kinds of neuroatypicality? Do individuals? 

Yes, but that is not something we want to talk about. 

24. How are your memories stored (each person has her or his own/different people store different types/some are personal and some are shared by everyone/other/combination)? Who has access to memories (only the person there/only certain people/anyone they affected/need to know basis)?

We all a have a collective memory but when they are doing things that do not involve the body or the host then the others keep up with it on their own. 

25. Is anyone’s identity tied to the body? How do people whose self-identification does not match the body deal with it? Does anyone in your group use the body’s birth certificate name? 

The host is tied to the body but we can’t say it’s the same host the started with the body. there is a basis there but so much has changed since birth. The host only uses the birth certificate name for ligeal things but besides that they go by Cyran/Yuki. So does everyone else unless it’s not needed.

26. Do you have a group name? How did you get it?

Not yet, but we are thinking about one. We just have to come up with one first or if someone has any suggestions then we are more then willing to hear them.

27. How are relationships handled in your group? Do you have in-system relationships? Out-of-system relationships? Is the body functionally asexual, monogamous, polyamorous or something else?

As said before, the host relationship is the most important one of all. If someone from the system wants time with their other they ask & if there is time it’s given. It there isn’t then something is arranged for later or they go where ever to see them. The host likes open relationships to make it easier on everyone (Including them) but even in a monogamous relationship they would talk to their other & explain that they are not willing to close that of to anyone who wants body time for personal reasons.

  

28. Do you celebrate any birthdays? The body’s? Individuals?

The birth day of the body (Of course!) Then a few others. Kradonous’ is Feb 14th, & Krade is December 22. Sebastian’s is September…16th I believe & everyone else just kinda gets ignored. 

29. Any advice for someone who is trying to figure out if they’re multiple, or for a new multiple just getting to know their system?

If you have any question fill free to ask someone who has been multiple longer then you. They most likely can help more then anyone else & will be more then willing to. It’s always nice to know you aren’t alone. Also, make sure you get control of them before they get control of you. People will be able to tell & it will tear you apart in my experience.
