[ 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 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.

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

[classification]

How someone else gets through a problem will likely not work the same for you. Are you incapable of assessing your own situations and finding a solution on your own?

[trigeminalheadache]

There's nothing wrong with asking for help. Perhaps someone who replies has a suggestion of something that I haven't tried or even thought of. You've never felt lost and not known what to do?

[ That feels like one of the dumbest questions he's ever been asked and he stares at it for a long time. It's not that he means to be blunt, that's just how Locus is. ]

No. I have not. Protocol always dictates how situations are handled, I see little reason to deviate from that to try something else.

[trigeminalheadache]

Just to play devil's advocate: what if what protocol dictates doesn't resolve the situation?

[classification]

There are often times ops are left unresolved due to something going wrong. We leave, regroup, try again later. There is always a backup. Either the job is done the first time, or we are meant to attempt again.

Must be nice to have a road map for everything. It's not so easy for everyone, though.

People become too distracted by emotion and emotional tethers. Life is not nearly as difficult as many make it out to be.

[trigeminalheadache]

Life isn't supposed to be all easy, either. We wouldn't appreciate the good times nearly as much without the bad.

[classification]

That is a trite and tired saying and holds little actual proof.

[trigeminalheadache]

Perhaps in your experience. But everyone's experience is different.
