People always think about the things that are right in front of them first. Mostly because they're right in front of them.

7thborn May 30 2011, 03:06:55 UTC

Yeah. Don't know why it's bothering me, really. I reckon I just don't like the feeling of settling here.

adamantined May 30 2011, 03:19:45 UTC

It's not like there's much of a choice. You either adapt and settle or go crazy. Not a lot of options.

7thborn May 30 2011, 03:25:50 UTC

Maybe I shouldn't, though. When Harry was here, that's what he kept on and on asking after. I don't know, I suppose I'm just getting loads of reminders all of a sudden and all I'm doing is... waiting tables and flying.

Does it matter if you forget what's going on back home? It's not like you have to deal with it unless you ever get back there.

7thborn May 30 2011, 13:30:59 UTC

Well, because it's home, isn't it. There was a time a few months ago where people were forgetting loads of things and I lost a lot of what made home home for me. Honestly? Not the most pleasant thing this City's thrown at me.

immortaltwat May 30 2011, 14:52:13 UTC

Like anything this city throws is pleasant. I don't know. I guess I just don't think home's a big deal so long as we're stuck here.

7thborn May 30 2011, 15:23:13 UTC

There are some things. Not often, but it happens.

And, well... no, in some way it isn't. But I've not had a break and I don't want to feel like I'm ignoring what's important in my world, I suppose. The last time a friend of mine was here, that's what he kept focusing on. He didn't like how the rest of us had gotten comfortable. It's weird, you know?

It sounds like a pretty normal thing to consider.

7thborn May 31 2011, 00:33:31 UTC

Nice to know I'm not mad, then.

veritaphobia May 31 2011, 08:57:41 UTC

Well--you'd fit the City theme if you were. [ wryly ] But no--prioritising makes sense, doesn't it? As long as you're here, that is.

7thborn May 31 2011, 09:02:28 UTC

I've thought about that, sometimes. If there's anyone who's actually from the City.

[Pause.]

But of course everyone's saying it shouldn't bother me. Settling and prioritising and all. But say something came up, does it matter, then, if you take care of it or not? If time spent here doesn't matter at all and returning home undid it all?

If you consider the high chance we'll forget everything, it's no crime to be complacent. It doesn't matter.

7thborn May 31 2011, 08:57:24 UTC

Right, of course. It's not like we can do anything about it.

fatespoken June 1 2011, 01:46:16 UTC

That's the spirit.

7thborn June 1 2011, 05:33:01 UTC

A right optimist, you are.
