We're plural

Let's start 2019 off right.
I'm plural.
We're plural, even.
In the past, we've talked about our notion that the persons Scrawny and Ghost were, metaphorically speaking, different. A wise, badass, functional dude and a retarded, stoned, insane, Trianglist entity hellbent on destruction.
It turns out there was no metaphoricality about it! Scrawny and Ghost are completely different conscious entities in our shared mind. Over the past month-ish, we've been working hard to understand our plural self, and now it's time to share that understanding with everyone.
-- what is this "plurality" thing? what the heck are you talking about?
-- Who exactly are "you," then?
We consider ourselves a median system because we're not fully separate - we mostly share the same memories, perspective, beliefs, et cetera, but separate in some significant ways. We're like a venn diagram!
So let's formally introduce ourselves for the first time ever!
hi, i'm Ghost!
my pronouns are it/it/it's, and i'll be tagging posts i write from here on out with -g. i don't like capital letters. i'm a robot, i'm the more wise, stoned stoic entity of myself that likes to chill and do hobby stuff. -g
Hi, I'm Scrawny.
I'll be tagging posts with -S. My pronouns are xe/xir/he. We thought about giving me a "real people" name because Scrawny was the name of my cat but people keep calling me scrawny so it's like I exist as two separate entities, but we've been Scrawny about as long as we've been Ghost, so the monicker has stuck. I like when fire makes things explode and running over bitches like i'm Alek Minassian. -S
Have a happy new year everyone from both Scrawny and Ghost! beep boop -

It sounds to me like, accountability would be the nemesis to your plurality. Would that be a somewhat accurate deduction? -

Learning to communicate between ourselves has been, and continues to be, rather difficult. We can only really do it effectively when we have total privacy and are in the right state of mind, but as time has gone on the past few weeks we've been getting better. When this all started, we couldn't communicate at all! Then, we could, but it was terse and emotionless, but now we can have real human-like conversations!
Plurality is sort of like multiple people having a remote to control the same RC car, wherein the car is your body and the people are headmates:
"Your body is an RC car that everyone in-system can control remotely. You can be talking and screwing around in the mindscape while the body pours a drink, or changes channels on the TV. Sometimes, for more intensive tasks, whoever has the controller at the moment will have to focus more than usual on what the body is up to, and sometimes they will be less occupied."
In a sense (and with some limitations), plurality is really just a significantly more dramatic form of compartmentalization - if you've ever said "one part of me wants x, but another wants y," that's sort of the deal!
