002 ♔ action + video (goldenrod)

(action)

[So if you happen to be out shopping for clothes in Goldenrod today, you better prepare yourself. Why? Because the fashion police is in town, that's why! Whether you're just holding something up to look at it or just stepped out of a changing room, this twelve year old girl is there. To judge you.

She actually like... like makes a disappointed tsk noise as she looks at you.]

Really. That's the color combination you're going for? In this season? Oh my god, this is just sad to watch. I'm serious, you are causing me actual, legit sorrow over here.

No. Try again.

[So much judging.]

(video)

So like... I haven't been here that long, yet? Just, like... Geez, two and a half months now?

Which seems like nothing, but I've never really been away from... [ugh, word choice. how specific does she wanna get here? not very.] ...from home for this long before. It's... weird? Because, like... um...

[For a moment, Pacifica actually goes a little quiet. She almost seems sort of pensive?]

...Is it normal not to really... feel all that homesick?

[She brushes some hair away from her face, looking away from the camera. A little nervously, actually. She kind of regrets asking that.]

Ugh, whatever, forget I asked anything!

[ Naminé shakes her head and offers a quiet smile. ]

It's not strange, no. I haven't felt homesick since I arrived here.

[ Granted, she... never had much of a home to begin with. So maybe a better word would be worldsick. ]

[nobell]

Yeah...? [Oh god, people actually are responding to this. For once, she's feeling a little unsure of herself...] Not at all?

So it's not just me, then...

[chainbroke]

No, not at all.

[ She nods. She won't name anyone, obviously, but. ]

I think there are other people who feel the same, too.

[He entire body droops. Low blow!]

Really? I thought it was kind of cute! I've been trying to find more blue outfits so I can match with all those nice gifts from my birthday.

[nobell]

Blue is fine. But there's so much more to all of this than just... blue. If you wanna wear it, you gotta pick the right shades.

I mean, this is Fashion 101 here! You're so lucky I found you.

[schachmeister]

[His voice is slow, thoughtful as he speak.]

I don't think that would be strange. It would depend a lot on what sort of world you come from.

video;

[nobell]

I mean, my world is fine? It's... Well, it's sort of like here, except without the Pokemon and the music and all that stuff. I was gonna say "without all the weirdness", but my hometown has some pretty weird stuff of its own.

So like, that's not really the problem or anything.

[Video]

[tearsofademon]

That depends on a lot of things. There are a lot of people around who're from some pretty crappy worlds, and who don't really miss where they came from much.

[Video]

[nobell]

Trust me, that's so not the issue. My world is fine.

...Except for a little while recently when my town sort of turned into like this freaky hellscape, but that got better, so it's fine.

[Video]

[callbacks]

Naw. Depending on the home you're coming from, your mileage may vary. And anyway, sometimes people just don't get homesick.

[Video]

[nobell]

I live in a mansion, so I mean. My home's just fine.

I don't know. I miss some things but I feel like I should be missing way more.

[video]

[toothaches]

_{[Oh, hey, he can relate to this kid!]}

No way! This place is great.

[video]

[nobell]

I mean, it's... fine, I guess? It sucks way less than I first thought.

...Some parts are pretty nice.

[Video]

[badluckbabe]

I mean...yeah for some people.

Depends on what home was like maybe.

[Video]

[nobell]

Does "some people" include you too, or what?

Four!

[ It's a vague, and very random, comment, but she'll explain. Probably. ]

If you didn't want a question answered, maybe you shouldn't ask one.

[nobell]

I didn't think it would just automatically post like this, leave me alone. This was stupid.

Video

[meowbel]

[For a moment, Mabel didn't say anything. While she might not have known too much about what happened for her back home, she did know just enough from Dipper. And honestly, that was enough for the girl to change her mind about the mind.

With that, she just simply smiled back at her]

No, not really. And I'm willing to bet that there's a few who feel the same way too here.

Video

[nobell]

[Oh geez, Mabel saw this. Well, now she's really feeling self conscious. She's brushing more hair away, a bit of a nervous habit.]

Ugh, yeah, a whole bunch apparently. [Lots of people replying to this question...] Weirdos.

[Usually that would sound kinda rude, but the insult is pretty half hearted. Maybe because she also belongs to that particular group of weirdos.]

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

Not really, you'd be surprised just how shitty people's situations were where they're from.

This place is more home than my world ever was.

[video]

[nobell]

I mean, mine wasn't... like... bad. All my stuff is back home, my pony's there, my friends... I definitely should be missing everything more than I am.

Yeah? So how long have you been here?

text.

[torsion]

There's nothing wrong with feeling homesick. Even if you don't like where you're from, this place isn't just a different city, state, or country. No shame in yearning for familiarity.

Then again, I just got back from a three-year mission and was immediately dragged here. Guess I can't help but want to head back to my own place with my things and see the people I care about.

[ And if it makes her sappy, then she's a forest of maple trees. ]

[nobell]

I mean, I only miss a few things. I miss my stuff. My phone, my bed, my wardrobe... I sorta miss my town, I guess?

But not really home itself. Which is dumb because I live in a mansion, so I mean like what's not to miss, right?

What kind of mission were you on? Like an army thing?

[faintwaves]

If you don't, you don't, nobody's going check on you about how homesick you're feeling.

[Oh hey, it's...the first girl Pacifica talked to?? But with black hair this time? Surprise twins!]

I think you can feel however you want, personally.

[nobell]

[Huh, she does look familiar. But she already knows one set of twins here, so... why wouldn't there be more, actually.]

Well, I mean... Obviously I don't expect anyone to really, like, care. No one who's here anyway. It's not like there's a homesickness police or whatever.

But it's what I expected, that's all...
