Okay so you know that trend where the main cast goes into one character's mind for a bit and finds multiple versions of them? And how canon usually plays this as some sort of ~unknowable metaphor~ but systems and allies usually identify it as evidence for plurality?

Okay yeah so take that but instead of the second half, make it so the character whose head is getting investigated is like. Wait. Why are there multiple of me. And this is how they find out they're plural.

(surprisingly, it was not the earlier TADC ask that made me think of this, although I see the connection, lol)

Prompt #2,238

An actor decides to try method acting to practice their newest role. Given the different interpretations and forms of method acting, they're a little worried about doing it wrong, but those worries disappear when they begin feeling a much deeper understanding of their character, and become able to slip into character whenever they want.

Getting out of character is a bit harder, but surely that's just the next step they have to learn, right?

Prompt #2,236

Character A has a gift (of sorts. It's better to think of it as a gift than a curse). They can come back from the dead. But every time they do, who they were at their time of death splits off from who they are when they wake back up. With every death, a new "life" begins, and their previous life slips into the background of their mind.
