just a noticing - the animal alters will not give their names to others (easily) takes a lot of trust for that. Having just gone through another round of inroductions this afternoon, I finally saw that the others allowed me to say their names, but not 8 or 10 who both have animal-related names. those two are also my strongest alters and the most often present. Course, I wasn't allowed to say the upper controllers either and wouldn't have anyway since then ppl tend to try to speak TO them and put us into lock down. *little slow* but i get there.
