... Okay, here's what I'm going to do to keep things on an even keel (or at least as even as things like this go).
Acceptable: That Bell cheats to get what she wants.
Reason: While her past is a mystery, First Class Unlimited isn't handed out to just anybody. She's obviously done something to earn her chops, and with it comes perks. Very nice perks. Bell may be on an 'Extended Vacation' but she's still on call for when things go to shit, as we've seen before.
BTW: It probably runs in the family anyhow - we've seen how the Almighty can be oh-so-inscrutible. Between Him and Bell, I'll take Bell anyday of the week. At least she won't make me feel bad about it.
This will prove to be interesting because her SysAdmin priveledges are now revoked because she's having to access the system on someone else's account.
Now, let's add another dimension to this sucker.
Who reads Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire? Mookie's idea of messing around in other peoples' heads is pretty interesting.
Each mindscape is unique to that person, complete with a characterization of that person's persona. In the mindscape, a person can alter things a bit, like unlokcing bits of knowledge and mess around with memories. And the mindscape!character knows what all the switches, levers, and buttons do. The kicker? This mindscape!character and the 'real world' character don't talk much. Think of him/her/it as a representative of your friendly local subconscious mind.
Now, the characters would still find a way to take over for brief periods, thus granting the external appearance of having DID. (I can just see Haruko spreading the subtle sort of chaos that she specializes in so effectively.) Additionally, they can muck around and grant him some capabilities, but nothing outside human abilities.
And I can see things eventually getting to the point where the characters in our lead's head and the lead finally starting to talk to each other... my, what things would they discuss? (We can have a lot of fun with this person calling Bell on her 'cheating.' Don't worry, it'll be more like a good natured razzing.)
So, how does that sound?
BTW: who says this has to be a male character? What if we made the lead a female instead?
