I know of a few places you could stay. None of them are mine, necessarily, but they’re all places guests are welcome.
*Hesitates for a moment*
Well, most.

@Audacious

I’ll consider it, thank you.

<Snipped quote by Extra>

That's why I'm wondering. You seem to be a "normal" human; do you plan to go back to a world like your old one?

@Malevocholy

I don't think I can. It won't feel right...It'd be artificial.

<Snipped quote by Extra>

*Nods once*

I don't mean to bring things down more, but where do you plan to go?

@Malevocholy

I don't know, I don't have a home to go to anymore.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Extra>

I understand grief. What it’s like, and what it does to you. I can’t experience it for you, but I can extend my hand in the same way I have to anyone else I can. The world is ready for you when you’re ready for it. When you get there, one step at I time, I’ll take your hand and help you through.

@Audacious

*looks at you*

<Snipped quote by Extra>

It's now. And now it's behind you. And another is in front of you. You can't change anything if you can't move. But you can move, no matter how small, and that means you can change things.

@Malevocholy

*looks at you after and speaks to no-one in particular*
When are we going to leave? I don't want to be here anymore.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Extra>

You take things one instant at a time.

@Malevocholy

Thank you, but I don’t even know what an instant is right now. This doesn’t feel real, which makes things worse.

She sounds like she’s getting there.
*Rubs the back of my head*
I’m sorry for getting mad at you earlier, by the way. In the lab. Things were so tense…

@Audacious

You thought you died, that’s understandable. It wasn’t my intention to kill us all though, I thought I was removing something that the intruder was trying to get to. I had no idea that it would end up like that, but we are alive…
*looks down*
Yeah… we are the only ones alive now…

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Extra>

I wish I had more for you. I don’t… Deal with this sort of thing. I usually avoid it as much as I can. I don’t have the experience to share, just what I’ve learned from my own loss.

@Audacious

*moves my eyes to look at you for a moment then looks back at the wall*
I appreciate the words of encouragement either way. Also, it sounds like your friend is fine now…

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Extra>

I’ve-
*Blinks and thinks for a moment*
I’ve never personally experienced loss on that scale, I have to be real. But no matter how much life takes from you- no matter how small your world may feel- you always have yourself. Keep going, keep pursuing anything that feels right to you. The rebuilding will come natural, even if it’s the hardest thing you ever do.

@Audacious

*sighs*
Those are nice and encouraging words… but wasn’t what I was hoping to hear.
*wipes my eyes*
Figured since you all are able to naturally do these supernatural feats and travel in such expansive ways, that maybe some of you would know or at least seen something of this scale.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Not healthily… I laid in bed a lot. Ate way too much junk food and just wallowed in my own sadness.
*Rubs the back of my neck*
But other people helped me out of the rut. Friends, my parents, Isaac. Find people you like being around- who you love- and spend time with them. If you just spend time with yourself, you’ll fall apart. That’s my one piece of advice to you. Don’t stop. It’s okay to slow down as much as you need, but don’t. Stop.

@Audacious

*my brow twitches in frustration with no reaction to the screaming, but I am staring at the wall*
What if you don’t have anyone anymore. What if your world is gone?
