[ 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.

No, it really isn't. Sometimes all you can do is focus on what's ahead.

Where are you from that doesn't exist here?

[She's already noticed that more than a few cities that she would expect to see on the map are just nonexistent here.]

Central City, Missouri. But this place is missing a few cities from my home. Keystone City. Star City. Coast City.

[Oh! Places she knows.]

The map looks emptier without them, doesn't it?

[This place is also missing Metropolis, Gotham, and Bludhaven but those last two maybe aren't that bad to not have?]

Emptier and stranger. I imagine others feel the same. An Earth parallel to mine has an Atlantis, whereas mine doesn't. So to people from that Earth, our map probably looked odd.

[Oh.]

A lot of people where I'm from still don't believe Atlantis exists despite having to add Sub Diego to all the new maps.

[And the fact that Aquaman exists.]

Atlantis itself isn't on the maps, so maybe not that weird.

PARRC is so handy.

[trigeminalheadache]

Sub Diego? That's an interesting name.

Is there a particular reason it isn't?

They are!

[asoothingvoice]

It used to be part of San Diego until most of it was sunk.

The Atlanteans. Many of them don't like people who live on land, I think. Though there is a part that's above sea level??

[trigeminalheadache]

The name makes a whole lot more sense now.

Is there a major difference between us and them?

[asoothingvoice]

The big one is that they live underwater.

I think Aquaman can talk to fish?

[The details aren't exactly something she knows.]

[trigeminalheadache]

With living underwater, then they would have some way of getting oxygen from the water, I'm assuming.

Talking to fish could be useful.
