do people make fun of you for being different? Sometimes people on the Net make fun of me because I don't have vision because they think being different is bad. But I refuse to be ashamed of myself on those people's account. I'm proud of what I have accomplished, and what my ancestors accomplished before me.

Yeah, people make fun of me and call me slave and other things too. I think sometimes they make bad gestures behind me where I can't see.
My parents are two bodies each. I don't really know any half ancestors. I'm proud of my drawings but I don't show them to people at school because they laugh and say the colors are wrong.

Measure Twice, would you like to move to a place where people only have one body?
I'm not sure you can move here, but I think so; I can find out in a few days, probably.

Welcome to the land of the halves, measuretwice.
Or perhaps the halve nots?

I believe the technical term is 'singlet.'

I believe the technical term is 'singlet.' ... Do you also have multiple bodies?

I believe the technical term is 'singlet.' ... Do you also have multiple bodies? No, but the 1:1 body/mind ratio really doesn't hold all that well for the multiverse at large. I mean, look at Orz. Or the mage whose name I can't pronounce. Or Raezenoth. Or anyone from Eclipse, really. Forking is not uncommon, telepathy is not uncommon, people sharing bodies is not uncommon - of course there's specialized language for this sort of thing.

Measuretwice I am super offended by your world. That is very much not OK.

I can do the magic to take you to a different world than this one, too, Measure Twice, if someone else is in a world that sounds nice to you.

Do you have nicer schools? I don't like my school very much.

I'm not sure, I haven't been to any schools in this world. I can ask when I ask if it's okay for you to come here - what kinds of things are you interested in learning?

I don't know, nobody's ever asked me before. At school we do reading and writing and math and science and social studies and art and gym. I like art the most but I don't like any of them very much.
I asked my mom if I could just not go to school any more, but she said school is very important and I'll understand when I'm older, and she gave me a double hug and ruffled my hair.

Those all sound useful, but why are you going to school if you don't want to?

A lot of places have laws that kids have to go to some kind of school, although it might be possible to set up some other kind of arrangement such as getting work mailed to you on a weekly basis and doing it at home or something. I have no idea what might be available in another world of course.
