Comparatively? Yeah, absolutely. If they ever figure out a way to send people back, I'm gonna be one of the people that chooses to stay behind. This is home now, for me.
But like I said, I'm a terrible example. Most people struggle with it from the start. Accepting their lack of autonomy those first few days in the safe house, adapting to the world outside of it. The god stuff, the supernatural abilities, the technology. It can be extremely daunting.
If that's what you're feeling right now, any part of it, trust me, that's waaaaaaaay more normal.
You're right, and I think Lance has been trying. It's better than it was when I first got here.
I met them right away. I just didn't know they were my people for a few months. It grew, slowly but surely. Not perfectly, and not always easily. It was a struggle for me to let it, and not pull it out at the roots, but.
[Simon and Grace hadn't had an easy time the whole way either, but somehow, their friendship had just been a cinch from the start. What Simon doesn't realize, though hopefully with time and a little distance he will, is that was exactly the problem. Perhaps they were too easy on each other. Too willing to stand by each other's sides no matter what atrocities they committed.
Ian's words don't fall on deaf ears. Simon is pretty sure he's assembled a great team so far boy is he in for a rude awakening, and he could grow to see himself being really close to them. After all, they have shown him more kindness in this short span of time than he's really received from anyone other than Grace for almost a decade.]
That sounds pretty rad, not gonna lie.
Here's hopin' things look up for
[Me.]
everybody, someday. 🤪 👍 🎉 ✨
Uh, if you need any more info re: the electric sneaks(⚡👟), feel free to drop me a line! I figure you'd at least need my shoe size because those're probably pretty different between universies. U-uh! Universes.
I'd actually love some exact measurements of your feet if you could! Shoe size standards vary. I plan to try and make them adjustable regardless but it could be incredibly helpful.
Things will get easier, I promise. I won't lie and say they'll be perfect, they might not even necessarily be Good depending on what your train was like. There are monsters, environmental problems, political problems, it's far from paradise, but.
[...Sounds a lot like the Train, to be honest. Same old, same old.]
No sweat, Mr. 🧠! I'll see if I can find myself some measuring tape or whatever holographic phatooey they've got in place of it here and send 'em right over! You're doin' me such a solid.
If anything, gettin' my gear in place is one part of making things feel, well, easier- Like you said.
At the very least, I do feel like I'm part of a team, kinda sorta.
[An extremely disorganized one with many belligerent and/or useless imbeciles clogging the roster.
But then there are the others, the people that Simon actually likes. And the fact that there's more than one? Well, that's particularly unusual.]

There hadn't been a Grace back home, either.]
Geez.
I wish we all talked about it a little more. Maybe then at least some of us would come out feelin' okay.
[the irony of this little rat twink saying they should Talk about their problems is2g...]
How long did it take you?
[Oh, shoot, backtrack, backtrack.]
To find your people here.

Easier. Definitely easier.
