I know that we are here voluntarily, and as such this may seem like an odd question to ask...

How do you adjust to not only come from a different planet, but a universe where everything is different? Does it make you happy or do you feel ever more homesick? I have heard it said that something familiar changed only a bit can be more unsettling than something completely alien.

Havin' trouble settling in?

I've had to help out with stuff like that back home. Might be able to, here.

I guess I just roll with it. As long as it ain't killing me everything is okay.

It's not so much brave as necessary. I miss my home a lot, but things there changed. They're ruined now. There's nothing you can do about change, so you go with it.

It's lucky if it is a change that makes you happy, but doesn't really hurt things.

[Linda isn't really sure how to take the young woman's question, but she figures it's a good opportunity to meet someone else who sounds new, so she turns on her own video feed]

Hey. Are you new here, too? It's...definitely a lot to get used to.
domesheriff: (Wondering)

[personal profile] domesheriff 2015-01-08 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. [she's surprised; she thought Grainne meant that she's having trouble adjusting] You sound like you move around a lot.

[not wanting to be rude, she adds:] I'm Linda. I got here about two weeks ago, so I'm still..adjusting.

I'd have to agree. The subtle changes are often the most troubling. It's one thing to go from a world with no dragons to one that has them everywhere, for instance. It's another altogether to discover the new parallel is like your own, but with a different twist to its history.

[personal profile] una_persson 2015-01-08 04:05 am (UTC)(link)

[A sympathetic look. Una knows that sort of situation well. Then the slightest of double-takes.]

More often? You've had that happen before, then?

I've had a great deal of experience hopping across universes lately, enough experience to simply be grateful that no one wanted to kill me within ten microspans of arrival.

But for the specifics, this world is nothing like my home planet. It's familiar only in that it's similar to places I've visited, but nothing about it reminds me of home.
timesbureaucrat: (emotionless)

[personal profile] timesbureaucrat 2015-01-08 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
I've travelled to four other universes before I came here. Each was a alternate version of my own planet, and each very unpleasant.

For me, that was closer to what you describe, the familiar mixed with the strange. They looked like home but the culture of the place was vastly different.

On Gallifrey the grass is red and the trees are silver.
