Right, so.. uhm, any of you ever passed somethin' by that reminded you of home? Today, I was out for breakfast and came across this little tiny bakery... I swear, they had cinnamon buns that smelled just like my Gran's.

Made me wonder how everyone back home's doin'... if they're missin' me and Sam.

[Here, have a teen boy pop up on video to this. Homesick. It pinged him.] I'm not dealing with it well myself. Getting over it maybe... or trying to.

[A pause...] Oatmeal. Um... a food trigger for home for me. Theres this place... in the underground that serves oatmeal at breakfast. Reminds me of how mom used to make it....

[as_a_lady]

I'm sorry to hear that... how long have you been here?

[She smiles a little at that.] Mm, how do you fix your oatmeal? Me, I always like a little bit of sugar... maybe some fruit too.

[thecrowingtobe]

Ummm 6 months or so? Got here in January just after the new year. Been away for a year now though...

[There is a pause again, leaning back against what looks like a old Car, a prop from the theater show. He's on break from work] Brown sugar, a bit of maple syrup and a bit of cinnamon. Heh, I guess I like it sweet.

Re: [video]

[as_a_lady]

Really? Where do you come from?

Mmm, maple syrup's real good in oatmeal. You ever try adding some apples in there? Works real well with cinnamon. [She shifts, like she's trying to get a closer look.]

Nice car... what's it for?

[mentis_reae]

It seems, given the testimony of those who have come from the same locations one subsequent to the other, that they do not know.

[voice]

[as_a_lady]

Well, that's good to know at least... I'd hate to think people back home are worryin' about me as much as I'm worryin' about them...

[voice]

[mentis_reae]

You're not the first to say as much, and it is an equally foolish sentiment in this case. [A slight pause, and then, awkwardly:] If you will forgive my saying so.

[voice]

[as_a_lady]

What, are you sayin' you don't worry about people you knew back home?

[gentiana_clusii]

I learned to cook 'cause I got homesick. It wasn't when I got yanked here, but it still works, I guess. Helps that I've got a couple friends here.

[as_a_lady]

I can cook... not as good as my Gran, but I don't hear no complaints.

I don't know about homesickness- and I don't really remember anything that could be home, but...cinnamon buns sound great right now.

Where'd you find the bakery?

[video]

[as_a_lady]

Really? You don't remember any place you grew up or nothin'? No special place?

I'll send you the address, okay?

Re: [video]

[madeinoblivion]

No special place. I have one here.

Okay.

Re: [video]

[as_a_lady]

You like it here so far?

[some address here because mun is lazy]

[ A boy replies, about seventh-grade age. ]

I don't know if you ever deal with it, exactly. It just becomes part of your life.

And after awhile, there are things to look forward to here, too.

voice;

[as_a_lady]

[they really did bring them here young, didn't they? But she smiles a little, giving a nod.]

You're right... I just gotta get used to it here. I'm sure there are a lotta things to look forward to!

You miss your friends and family though?

voice;

[little_bandages]

Yeah. But missing them isn't going to get me back to them any faster.

You have two choices: Find a way out of here or settle down and accept your fate.

voice;

[as_a_lady]

You don't think it's possible to settle down and still look for a way out? I ain't ready to just give up yet, I don't think...
