Someone might think you were talking about a Multiple.

(I happened to run across in passing - literally in passing, it was at the
site InPassing.org - a reference to "OtherKin", who are IMHO the most
completely marching-to-a-different-kettle-of-fish people I have EVER run
across. There are people out there who are not living in our consensus
reality. And I don't mean "living in the loose and casual suburbs of
consensus reality, instead of urban downtown scientific consensus reality";
I mean "living someplace that is no longer connected to our consensus
reality by regular airline service". Anyway, try googling on Otherkin +
Multiple.)
