I can understand that. I still somehow miss the war brig, even though we never really got a good voyage out of it. 8)

I am mourning the loss of our world too. But aren't all our environments only what we can see and do in them? So home is where you feel like you belong.

The loss of the character I deleted, those many years ago, was as painful as losing a real friend, and I know it is silly, but the only reason the virtual worlds work is that they stimulate the same perceptions as the real worlds do.

I didn't get to the dam, but I did go to sleep in Goldshire where Celsia grew up. Her room was still available, everything had been dusted, and the beds were made up. There wasn't a chocolate on the pillow, but it was nice to know there was a place to return to.
