so, once again, iiiiit's your local prismanon asking for some advice!

it's almost the end of the year, huh? like, ten months deep. i've been here for like, what? almost half a year now? that's kind of shocking to be honest. and it makes me wonder. who here misses their homes? but more so than that...

we're getting 'older' here, right? like, if your birthday passes, you count that as a +1 to your age, right?

so, the real question i have here is simple: if you start getting older than all of your friends back home, isn't it kind of sad? you spend all your time here, getting to know people, maybe making new friends. but you're aging. you don't know if your world's time is moving. like... i'm the only one from my world here, tbh. it's lonely! ( ´•̥̥̥ω•̥̥̥` )

the other thing ig i wanted to ask is...

if the person you care about the most is back home, how do you deal with that? how can you just bear waiting to figure out how to get home -- when you've been in this world for so long that you've almost given up hope on the idea that maybe, one day, they'll show up here. or even that you might actually go back?

i mean it's either

a. go home and get dragged into a war i couldn't really care less about

or

b. stay here and get paid for sex all the time





so i guess i'm saying this is a way better choice for me and my old home can burn for all i care

[dereban]

i guess for some people home is worse than here so it'd be ymmv

so that makes sense

Re: permanon;

[sarcaskick]

idk how any world could be better than this one

i dont have room to miss home
not that i ever really felt home anywhere

anyway
most of my friends are here
so i guess i'm fortunate in that case

but i guess you gotta ask yourself
is if the person you're waiting on is worth it or not
and do they even know you're waiting for them or vice versa

permanon;

[dereban]

then i guess this isn't relevant!

i think it's worth it
but i don't know if they are is the problem

like i said.
i don't know if time moves back in my world or not?
i don't have anyone from back home so i don't have any frame of reference to tell if... that's true or not

but they're worth it. definitely.

[teaserving]

i don't think it matters if time is moving there or not
i would probably wait, personally
if they know how you feel and they're back home and you plan on going back then you wait

Honestly I'm not really dealing at all.

[dereban]

oh.

i'm... sorry? did you want to talk about it? i know i did ask for advice, but i'd like to say that i'm a decent listener.

[highsteaks]

Um I don't know about that it's hard enough to talk about to people I know never mind strangers.

But I dunno I guess I wanted to tell you that you're not the only one having trouble.

A lot of people I care about are back home, but I don't know that I would want them to end up here. Though my... sworn enemy is also here, which means he can't be causing trouble for them back home.

I guess I take comfort in that.

permanon;

[dereban]

that's fair, honestly?

i mean, i honestly don't know if i personally want them here. i'm conflicted!
this place is nice in a lot of ways but sometimes it gets dangerous, too

i wouldn't want the people i care about to face those dangers.

but i suppose that if your enemy is here they can't cause trouble, which is probably... a plus in not wanting the people you care about here?

Good question. Thinking about time like that gives me a headache, but I figure you're whatever age you say you are, I guess? Who knows how time actually works from one world to another.

I started to think that I might get used to just living it out in another world, to be honest.

permanon;

[dereban]

you'd think that i'd be used to it after being here for half a year but no. i'm not.

i was just thinking about it since this year's almost over, apparently. guess for some people there's no... 'getting used to things'.

[ Amongst other things, but saying them would out her identity. ]

The person I care about most is back home, and I haven't yet figured out how to deal with that.
We've been best friends since we were kids. That's a long time spent together.
I don't know how to be without.😢

permanon;

[dereban]

that's unfortunate

and i get that! really. and yeah if you've been with them that long... it's wild to not be without them
sounds lonely

time kinda stops over there actually. i went home 4 a hot second and nothing changed. it was basically like i never left. we mite age here but i think wen we go bak its gonna be like we never left

i wasnt here 4 very long so i could totally wrong. most of my friends r here but they didnt notice id left. and 2 of them r from a couple years ahead of me now while we’re here and i think they woulda noticed if i aged here and came bak older u kno?

ahhh sry i dont think im wording it rite? basically i dont think anythin changes bak home and wen we go back itll b like we never left. including us having aged, we also lose our memories so we wouldnt even notice.

judgin by wat sum have said already i guess thats gonna be both good and bad 4 sum tho.

also 2 answer ur 1st question, i miss home a lot. my friends r here but my fam isnt and it rly sux :(

permanon;

[dereban]

that's weird

and a little unsettling, if i'm going to be honest. also no, you're not wording it in a way i don't understand, it's fine. but it's...

i don't want to forget my memories here. i've had enough memory loss to deal with in one lifetime.

i guess that in of itself is ymmv, though.

haha, at least having friends here is nice! it eases things just a little bit, probably. makes things easier.

It should have less to do with whether your birthday has passed than with how much time there was until your birthday back on your own world, right?
For example, if someone left their own world the day after their birthday
But due to the different timeline we are on here in this world, they arrived here on the day before their birthday
They would not be a whole additional year older just because their birthday had passed again.

I was also incredibly worried about the possibility that all the time I've spent here was also passing back there. I didn't even want to think about all the problems it must be causing for everyone back home, and how worried they must be...
But then people from my world arrived, and they told me that from their perspectives, I never disappeared. So I was able to relax a bit... but at the same time, I don't know whether that means that I will eventually return to the same moment from which I departed, or that it means I myself have somehow become a separate existence from the "me" who remained... or that it means something else entirely.

But I am afraid I really have no useful advice for dealing with the absence of the person I care about most. I suppose I only "deal" with it by having no other choice...
I am lucky in that my friend who arrived was able to tell me that she remains well and happy... even three years later. But
Knowing that does nothing to change how terribly I miss her here and now.
I do not know whether there is really anything we can do about that.

[dereban]

well my birthday was 'last month' back home
but my birthday isn't 'one year after', it's just a 'few months after', here
it just feels kind of weird not celebrating it, though, and i don't want to like somehow place my birthday in some weird, arbitrary month just because i've been here for a year, you know?

yeah, i've been worrying this whole time bc unlike everyone else, i don't have people from back home
but if people have told you that...

maybe something like different existences?
parallel universes??
i'm not sure
i'd have to look it up
i definitely don't want to forget anything that happened here, though

The person I care most about is dead.

( thx edgeworth, very cheery. )

Re: anonymous

[dereban]

oh.

that's unfortunate. although i did hear that there are dead people here. or people who used to be dead.

I've seen teenagers who are young enough to still grow some so as far as physical growth is concerned it should be easy enough to find out.

If you can convince any that you don't have questionable motives for wanting to measure them, anyway.

Otherwise, you're having experiences, aren't you? That's what aging is.

permanon;

[dereban]

well, yes?

although i don't think i'd grow any more than i already have

anonymous

[trample]

Much as I would like to believe in the potential of returning home, I've grown less and less confident in the idea. Ever more as time goes on. I fear I may never see the one I care for most ever again. Not even here. Though I greatly wish for a better life for her, which I'm hesitant to say this world can provide. I feel as if doing so will guarantee I never get the chance to leave.

[dereban]

ha...

i understand this, although i could honestly say that both my world and this one aren't too bad
this one is a || worse than home
