[ She's been fairly quiet on the network after her conversation with the other Eobard. And fairly scarce in and around Heropa. There's still things she's processing from the world turning upside down last month. And things that she's avoiding. ]

What do you do when you start to feel homesick? Have you felt homesick while here? I can't imagine anyone hasn't, but stranger things have happened. None of us can choose to go home, and it's not like I can go visit this world's version of my home because it doesn't seem to exist here.

I either hit up a bar or the ice rink.

[Not that he gets homesick. What are feelings? He doesn't have them.]

[trigeminalheadache]

Is that just to escape the Florida heat?

Does it help? With missing home.

[notsheepish]

I find friends to spend some time with

It's a nice distraction and a reminder I'm not as alone here as it can feel sometimes

text

[trigeminalheadache]

Are these friends from home or friends you've made here? Or both? Just curious.

[airshow]

I hear repressing your feelings is nice this time of year.

[trigeminalheadache]

See, that's my usual coping method. It's just not working as well.

I can't say I've felt particularly homesick. It's more like I miss some people from home.

Thankfully, I have some friends here that are a good distraction from that.

[ She does a small double take at the ID, before remembering that she's seen a Hartley on the network. And he isn't the one from her world. ]

There's no places you miss from home?

That's good. That's what friends are for, right? Helping each other with things.

[douchebag]

No. Don't have a home to miss.

Have you tried alcohol?

[trigeminalheadache]

Alcohol isn't always the answer.

[deadtective]

It's not always that great to visit whatever this world's version of your home is, anyway.

[trigeminalheadache]

Makes things worse, I guess. Especially if it isn't like what you remember.

[alcheregis]

I try to do things that I'd normally do at home, and see if it makes the same feeling that I'm used to! What do you enjoy doing at home, dear?

text;

[trigeminalheadache]

Reading. Cooking. Things that I've done here already.

[aggressiveapathy]

sex

[trigeminalheadache]

That's one that I haven't heard before.

[princeofrats]

I go hang out in the sewers
or talk to the rats
they're nice here, too

[trigeminalheadache]

Nicer than other places? The rats, I mean.

'Home' can be about places, but it can also be about the people, too.

[She's been here about a month. She misses her daughter, and being able to call her mother to talk about everything going on. But having her husband and son here helps.]

Staying busy and talking with the people you have here, if you do, will help.

Text

[trigeminalheadache]

You're not the first person to mention that, actually. I mean, here, you are.

[ But she feels like she's lost her home, back when she lost Ronnie. ]

I do, and we do, and it helps. It's not the same as our world.

[dejerate]

Not sure if I'm homesick for the situation waiting back there, but. I have family waiting for me. I miss them. Mostly, I just try keep busy so I don't think about them too much.

[Though it is impossible to entirely forget, to entirely distract himself from fretting over Guren. Over Mika's situation. But he tries. It's all he can do.]

text;

[trigeminalheadache]

Staying busy with something seems to be the general consensus. But even then, can't always stay busy.

I do not have a home to return to, so I have not experienced this. Though, I imagine it to be as any other problem: you deal with it and move on. Problems are not solved by masking it with other things.

( text )

[trigeminalheadache]

I guess that's what I'm asking. How people deal with this particular problem.

text

[rathercommon]

I know I've felt wretchedly homesick, yeah. Is that happening to you right now?

text

[trigeminalheadache]

It's not a constant thing, but yes. I suppose it's inevitable.

text

[aglonby]

do you know anyone else from your world here?

text

[trigeminalheadache]

I do. And I know that I'm extremely lucky in that respect. But there's still moments when I miss home.

text

[ghemnotgem]

Often, but that's no different than the way it was back in the Nexus. If my home does exist here, it wouldn't exist yet, and nor would there be any way to go and see where it will be.

I suppose I just get used to feeling it, and then sometimes I forget about it for a few hours.

text

[trigeminalheadache]

The Nexus?

Forgetting about it for a little while is the best we can hope for, right?

text;

[hyperkinesia]

I haven't really felt homesick, no. It helps when you have the people you care about here.

[ Or in his case, the one person. Other than Betty, Bruce never really had much. ]

I have a few friends back in my world, but we weren't that close just yet. So it's not as difficult.

text;

[trigeminalheadache]

It does. But it's harder when you have them here but things can't be the same.

[ For example, seeing her best friend (that's here) every single day like back home. ]

I'm glad you're not having a hard time, then.

[ text ]

[dualismum]

Being with friends usually helps but I think the feeling will never leave.

[ text ]

[trigeminalheadache]

I guess I'd be worried if it did ever completely go away.

[foreshadower]

Me? I miss home every moment of every day.

I take comfort in the fact that others go home, so surely eventually I will as well, yes? Then I think about how beautiful my city is. Back home. Where she's safe.

[ She smiles at his answer. ]

Have you found any city here that comes close to comparing to it?

text; un: bg

[plucky]

I've been actively looking for places around the city they put me in that remind me of home, since I started feeling home sick. Figure out the little things you miss and find them here.

It won't feel exactly the same, but it's a start.

[trigeminalheadache]

What if it isn't just places, but people that you miss?
