Who: A ~mysterious anonymous poster~ and you
Broadcast: Anonymous text
Action: In her room on the Bishop, if you really want to say hello
When:

[It's taken Nightingale a while to figure out how to make the anonymous text function work, and even longer to decide it's worthwhile to post. Still, she doesn't have anything else to do, and this has been eating at her for a while...]

I realized recently it's been over a year since I was last home.
Over a year since I've ever seen anyone from my world, even.
And that year has been kind of a mess.
Now I'm two crazy worlds removed from home, and it's not looking like I'll get to go back anytime soon.
It's just now really starting to sink in.
I'm starting to get homesick, I guess.
But I know there's a bunch of people here who have been here even longer than I have.
Or have a lot more pressing things to get back to.
So... How do you cope?
How can you deal with this for so long?
After this long, my usual distractions aren't really working so well anymore.

Both?

- You can deal or you can die.

- Knitting.

[experiencepoints]

Well.
You're certainly cheerful.

What did you expect, a magical cure?

text

[experiencepoints]

I was kind of hoping.

text

[droprate]

If there was one, someone here would probably know about it.

text

[experiencepoints]

I agree.
Hence posting to the network about it.

text

[droprate]

In the meantime, there's always these other options.

text

[experiencepoints]

Dying does not count as an option.

text

[droprate]

I thought beggars can't be choosers.

text

[experiencepoints]

Clearly, whoever told you that was mistaken.

text

[droprate]

What about the other thing?

text

[experiencepoints]

Don't know how, and nothing to learn with.

text

[droprate]

Shame.

[ THEY CONSIDERED OFFERING TO TEACH HER BUT.......THAT'S AWKWARD.... ]

text

[experiencepoints]

Any other ideas?

text

[droprate]

That's all I got.

text

[experiencepoints]

Well, it was worth a shot.

text

[droprate]

Oh, maybe gardening. Or baking.

[ Might as well throw in goatparents' cool hobbies. They worked better than dying, maybe. ]

text

[experiencepoints]

... Actually, baking doesn't sound bad.
Just a question of where to get the materials.

text

[droprate]

Well, I did my part.

text

[experiencepoints]

Yeah, you did.
Thanks.
We'll see if this works, anyway.

Re: text

[droprate]

[ Okay, they weren't expecting thanks. ]

You're welcome?

[experiencepoints]

... Why is that a question?

[droprate]

Because it's weird to be thanked for something like this?

[ They pause before sending it. It needs more question marks. ]

?????????? ? ?

[experiencepoints]

For giving me an idea for something to do?
