So...how does everybody do it? One minute, I'm pretty sure I'm going to be zombie food and the next minute, I'm waking up next to my roomate's, who's probably OCD but different story, bed. Like nothing happened. I have practice and classes that I can't miss and I'm supposed to go on like it's all normal.

So, how do you deal with it? Handling this crazy stuff and your real life?

After a certain point "this crazy stuff" becomes your real life.

[trustmybase]

But you have a life outside, right?

[embersandashes]

Of course. But this place is irrevocably intertwined with it.

[trustmybase]

So, what do you do when internet world interferes with your real one? I know we can't stop it but people deal somehow, right?

[embersandashes]

That really depends on the virus, assuming you're talking about viruses. Most people of import know about the community, anyway.

[trustmybase]

Seriously? You just...tell them?

[The one time Marti tried tricking Wanda, she saw nothing.]

[embersandashes]

They know because they used to be here themselves.

[trustmybase]

Before or after you?

[papillio_tempestatis]

I think Azula mostly has it. It's just something you have to adjust to, I suppose.

Though you've already heard my life is a bit crazy on its own.

[trustmybase]

That's just worse, right? You're in the middle of some important work, and then boom, you're suddenly a bird.

[papillio_tempestatis]

Or a college student, even. And I'm only vaguely sure what college is. But yes.

There are some things that can't be fixed. Not now, anyway. Sometime, perhaps... but I have things here and now to think about, even if the community tries to drag me away.

[trustmybase]

Drag away? Is that ever a good thing? It sounds like you have some pretty serious stuff going on.

[papillio_tempestatis]

No, not really. But it's not something I can do anything about at the moment.

[trustmybase]

Well, there goes that hope. It'd be nice to end up in a vacation resort in Hawaii instead.

[papillio_tempestatis]

Frankly, that's probably at least as likely as something like what we've just been through. If not more.

[trustmybase]

The vacation? Then let's hope for that one. Sounds nice, right about now.

[papillio_tempestatis]

Yes, it really does.

[moonspell]

I find taking a break to breathe when it's appropriate to be most helpful. Do you get some time off from your classes and practice?

[trustmybase]

Sadly, no. I didn't realize there was so much practice. I'm barely making it to classes without weird zombie attacks.

[moonspell]

Perhaps there's a way to find someone with a worldhop that can travel time as well? You might be able to grab an extra day to rest if it were possible.

[trustmybase]

Not a bad idea. Our friend the wizard did mention having something.

Oh, and, tried the tea. Not bad.

[moonspell]

Nico will take me places on occasion, but certainly not through time or I'd offer.

I'm glad it helped.

[trustmybase]

Nico? You have a friend with a...a worldhop?

[moonspell]

He's a fairy from my world. I asked him to try it, since he can usually travel between the fairy world and this world and it seems to work. He just takes a bit of bribing to get him to do it each time, so I use it sparingly.

[trustmybase]

You go there? The Fairy world? What's it like?
