Is it just me, or is anyone else just tired after that not-apocalyptic shitshow? And not tired in a 'oh god I need a drink and a month off and a foot massage' kind of tired, but tired in the sense of 'next time the world wants to go nuts, I'm not accepting the invite' kind of tired.

[ A pause, and a small sigh. ]

I've probably been here too long, haven't I?

[ Yup. ]

[made_up_names]

Yeah, I kinda get that.

[divaricate]

All of the above? [ There's a tired half smile. ]

[made_up_names]

Pretty much. This is technically my third one.

[divaricate]

That's three too many. Is this counting stuff just here or from home too? [ cause those numbers are gonna be a lot if everything's counted. ]

It's been difficult to shake off the exhaustion.

[divaricate]

Ha, yeah — at this rate, what's rest? Sounds like a myth.

[detectivedwloki]

Truthfully, I never got a lot of rest back home but this is something else. Turned up 1000%.

Usually it was only individual's worlds ending, not the actual world. Still important, just smaller in scope.

[divaricate]

Ho...w many world endings have you seen, then? I'm sure that never gets used to.

voice.

[solarcharge]

We all hit those roadblocks.

You could shut everything out for a while, since the world isn't going to end.

[divaricate]

True. But that's been a pretty common theme here; I guess I just wish there was a better way, and here we are.

[solarcharge]

It keeps life interesting?

[ She huffs. ]

Taking time away might help.

[duelo]

I haven't been here more than a few months and I'm super burned out. I think you're in good company and it's probably not about how long you've been here.

[divaricate]

Good to know it's not just me, I think? I would say you get used to it, but that's a lie, obviously. I think I've aged twenty years in the last almost-four here.

[duelo]

I wouldn't have believed you, anyway. I'm pretty "used" to crazy, but that doesn't make it any less draining, whether here or ate home. Trust me, I know the feeling.

I'm Derek, I don't think we've met.

[heartstings]

Second time dealing with the Fates. If it comes to a third I'm outie.

[divaricate]

That's way too many times. Once is too many times. So, yeah, definitely understand not wanting to do the 'third time's the charm' dice roll.

[heartstings]

And that's just since the 'Porter originally kidnapped me.

[iminthebook]

Agreed. I am so tired, I think my ancestors are tired now. [ There is almost a chuckle in his voice, except that yes, he is still tired. ]

And, nah. Except in the way that it sucks anyone has to deal with this place.

[divaricate]

Ha, yeah, I think people related to me who aren't born yet are tired, even. Yeesh.

[iminthebook]

Heh. I know this feeling.

I am so fucking glad we both made it through this.

Honestly it's depressing how easily you get used to it. I was actually starting to worry things here were too peaceful.

[divaricate]

Also a good point. This place does like to shake things up when we get too comfortable, if not before, but you think it'd wear out of steam at some point.

[bifroster]

Nah, I think anyone would feel like that after the third or fourth time.

[divaricate]

At least it's not just me? I mean, it's still free to Stop any time, but...eh.

[bifroster]

It really is. Maybe we should get a promise in writing.
