[ 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 know some pretty killer spots in Connecticut and Vermont; hit me up whenever you're ready to book. I'd say them here but then someone else might read and that kinda ruins the peace and quiet shit.

[trigeminalheadache]

I certainly will. And I promise to keep them secret once you divulge them.

[deadtective]

You better, or I'm not responsible for my actions.

[trigeminalheadache]

Cross my heart. I wouldn't want to make you do something drastic. Especially if it's to me.

[deadtective]

I'd fucking hope not. We hit our quota of people who don't give a shit about self-preservation months ago.

[trigeminalheadache]

Oh, ask any of my friends. I typically have a pretty healthy sense of it. A few exceptions here and there, but not over vacation spots.

[deadtective]

They better be willing to have those statements notarized. After the bullshit with my friends I can't be sure anymore.

[trigeminalheadache]

If the need for such statements arises, I will be sure to employ a notary.

[deadtective]

I'm counting on that. Jail time looks really fucking bad on your resume when you're a private detective.

[trigeminalheadache]

I don't know much about the private detective business, but wouldn't going to jail be something they revoke your license for?

[deadtective]

It's kinda hard to tell with imPorts. Nobody really seems to give a shit about what we do half the time.

[trigeminalheadache]

That's comforting and disturbing all at the same time.

[deadtective]

It's easier to just roll with it. People here wanna fuck themselves over, that's their problem.

[trigeminalheadache]

Don't think about it too much, is what you're saying? That's easier said than done.

[deadtective]

Eh, it's not too hard. This place keeps you hopping pretty much all the time.

[trigeminalheadache]

Really? I haven't yet found that to be true. But I stick very close to home.

[deadtective]

Russia tried to invade a while back, and it fucking rained sharks once. It all comes around eventually.

[trigeminalheadache]

Sharks? Like, whole and complete sharks? Or shark parts?

Just to clarify, I think both options are equally horrifying.

[deadtective]

They started out whole but a fucking bunch turned into parts when they hit the cars.

[trigeminalheadache]

Did they ever figure out why it rained sharks? I mean, I know why it sometimes rains frogs or toads, but that can't be the same case.

[deadtective]

Nah, it was just some magic asshole. That's pretty much the go-to answer for most of the weirder bullshit here.

[trigeminalheadache]

Magic is still something I'm wrapping my head around. It shouldn't be this hard, but it is.

[deadtective]

You get used to it. The only rule of thumb is that it's total fucking bullshit and most people who can use it are assholes, so there's not too much to remember.

[trigeminalheadache]

Sounds easy enough.

[deadtective]

Yeah, it's just actually dealing with it that's the pain in the ass.
