Oh boy. I guess we will just need a lot of practice. Thanks for the advice though. It's an interesting change for the both of us, this whole ordeal.

Thanks for the warning. I had him try chocolate and he really likes it, but not enough to make me obese. Besides, he knows the consequences of overfeeding me.

I'm just afraid what hes going to do when he discovers apple pie.

And thank you very much sands <3

On that note, update for today's progress.

Let me just say, this kid is a fucking natural at possession. He's picking things up really quickly had a lot of firsts today. He said his first sentence, talked to someone for the first time, ate food, and dealt with someone who had no idea that he was possessing me. And he did fucking brilliantly.

He sat down at lunch with my friend Chris and started complaining about how the lunch lady (the other person who was talking to him) was being extremely unclear as to what exactly compensated a full lunch. Chris of course thought he was talking to me at first and was wondering why I was getting so much social anxiety from the freaking lunch ladies, but 16-volte stammered that it was his first time talking to someone and that he should be proud he got this far. He made a little more small talk and ate some of my food before passing control back to me and letting me finish my lunch. I am extremely proud of his progress.

Also, 16-Volte's reaction to food is the fucking funniest thing I've ever seen. He ate a couple bites of cafeteria grade ham and cheese sandwich and looked at it like it was the second coming of Christ. He was grinning like an idiot because he loved it so much, bless his soul. Chris was just laughing at him the entire time. I can't wait to have him eat apple pie.

On a final note, 16-volte will be on a skype call with one of my best friends today. Wish him luck. I will update after the call with what happened.

Sorry I haven't updated in a while. It slipped my mind.

16-Volte has been progressing very well with possession. We practiced full-body possession today and he did MARVELOUSLY. He walked me all the way down to the cafeteria and bought my lunch. He sat down next to my friends but crumbled when one of them asked me where I got my jacket. I took over and responded, but all and all I'm really impressed with our progress. He is still beating himself up over how he didn't know what to say to Chris, but I am really proud of him. C:

Thanks <3

But how do you just let go of control? I never got how that's supposed to be done.
And where did you get his name "16-Volte" from?

It's kinda difficult to explain. Like, have you ever just rested your arm in the same place for so long you feel like its kinda just there and it's not really being used by you and it's all empty and whatnot? It's kinda like that.

Also, about his name. My friends were making a video game and asked me to make sprites of the characters. Going through the concept art, I found that I really loved the one character 16-Volte. I made a lot of art for the character and I just really liked him as a whole. When my boyfriend told me about tulpas, I kinda wanted one as an older brother figure. And who better to fill that role than the swash-buckling steampunk miner I so loved? But anyway, the friend came up with the name, not me.

Lately 16-Volte has been complaining that he doesn't have very much energy and that he feels very "translucent." He blames his not being able to possess all me at once on the fact that he just can't and doesn't have the energy to pull off such a thing. His mindvoice has always been relatively quiet, even if he was yelling, and especially quiet if I haven't been talking to him very much. Also, if I don't force with him for a while, he gets depressive and is almost always tired or sleeping. Does anybody have any suggestions as to how I can help 16-Volte out of his rut so he will be "powerful" enough to accomplish feats like full-body possession?
