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.

That's really sad. I hope you feel better soon!

Things will look up! Just believe in me.

I'm pretty sure I haven't done 'positive thinking' since I was like five years old.
But I appreciate the attempt to help.

[repths]

You're welcome.

Wow, that's a long time huh? I guess it must be hard to think positively when you haven't done it for a while.

[experiencepoints]

And when you haven't had any reason to think positively.
Good things don't happen in these places.

[repths]

I don't think that's really true. We may have been brought here against our will, but I know it's not all terrible!

Can you name one thing you enjoyed doing here that you wouldn't be able to get back at home?

[experiencepoints]

Not sure.
I don't know much about my own home.

[repths]

I'm sorry I asked something so personal.

Maybe it's better if we don't talk about it.

[experiencepoints]

You don't have to apologize.
I don't mind.

[repths]

I don't want to upset you.

If you say it's fine then I'll take your word for it.

[experiencepoints]

It's impossible for you to make me any more upset.
Don't worry about it.

[repths]

I won't worry about it then!

Just watch yourself alright?
