I'ss been a long time since I've used one of these consoles, and I didn't imagine I was going to again - much less post something to the Nexus at large ( Read more... )

Remind yourself that 'different' is not necessarily better. Also, it's still possible to achieve different, even if it isn't the same different that you are seeing.

truebornbanacek April 22 2008, 20:52:39 UTC

'Different', in this case, would have involved having someone I care about much closer. It is not that I... mind my current calling; however, being in a place where everything happened, where my life got changed permanently...

It is not exactly the most comforting thing, especially when there are people here who know me before the Ascension.

In that case, getting out as quickly as possible does sound like the best option. Not knowing where you are, I can't offer any advice on how to get out. Where are you?

In the Nexus at large. Displaced in time, apparently. This is fifteen years ago, to me.

Well - I'd say you try to forget, but it seems that it wouldn't work. So... maybe it's better to leave?

I usually leave through the portals or through a PINpoint.

Oh shit. The console is coming up with an identity for this response, and this is going to make Caleb's life somewhat... more difficult. His breath is catching in his throat.

Anything he says could potentially fuck up a massive amount of time.

The problem is that I would like to be *home*, where I am supposed to be, and there does not appear to be a portal to do such a thing. My PINpoint also seems to have been disabled.

selene_bhaal April 23 2008, 05:08:47 UTC

Well... Maybe there's someone around who can help find a portal or fix your PINpoint? Perhaps a god?

...

My god is not here. At least not the one I know.

It would be strange to call upon another deity when I have spent the last twelve years following her so faithfully.

You just deal with it. Eventually, the feeling will pass, and you'll accept things the way they are. There are always things that you wish could have been different, but it was Fate for them to happen as they did.

PINpoint doesn't work?

truebornbanacek April 23 2008, 14:27:14 UTC

I don't think you understand. I'm not supposed to be here in the first place. I stopped coming here because of it, because of the... difference. This isn't my time, it's not my place, and my being here could mess with a lot of things.

No, it doesn't. It just burbles and makes unintelligible noises at me.

dimension_bitch April 23 2008, 14:34:04 UTC

Saying 'I'm not supposed to be here' is never true. You're here now, aren't you? So you were supposed to be here. If things could go wrong, just stay away from them.

How tedious. I could help you, but you'd have to come to my shop. I believe another Nexus citizen has put up some kind of field, too, if you'd prefer that.

truebornbanacek April 23 2008, 21:11:48 UTC

You always assume things are predestined, Yuuko. It's a dangerous assumption.
