So I'm new here and I figured this might be the best place to ask around for suggestions. What are some of your favorite distractions here? Places, things to do... I'm open to anything.

[He just kind of needs any sort of distraction really bad at the moment. While there's work to do and getting to know his surroundings... he could use something more involved than any of that, something that ca help him stop thinking for five minutes. Keeping busy seems like the best use of his time than any of the other options... which basically consists of moping by himself somewhere. Not all that productive.]

And just one more thing. Has anyone arrived here later than other people they knew back home? Friends, significant others, family... Not in the 'I came here from the future' sense, but in the 'I arrived late to the city and they seem to have made a new life without me' one. Was it hard to find your place with them again or did you even try? I know it's natural that people would change over time, that maybe they'd have a life that doesn't even include you, but... I have no idea how to deal with it. It feels kind of like a bad dream I'm managing to make worse.

It really doesn't, does it?

[He's not all that pleased about it either, honestly.]

I wish going home was at least an option, not a 'maybe later'.

If they could at least give us some kind of an estimate, or an idea of how they're working on getting things better controlled...

[There's frustration audible in her voice. She hates being sidelined like this.]

But no, like you said, it's just 'maybe later.' Ugh.

I know it has to be difficult, trying to figure out how to send so many different people back, but yeah.

[Even if it was a long time, it would be better than being clueless.]

Some people might appreciate the break from back home, but I'd really prefer being back at what I was doing, I think.

You and me both. It's not like I was just sitting around with time to spare.

[The furthest thing from it, and every day that ticks by leaves her increasingly restless. There's a war that she needs to be back in the middle of!]

Maybe it would go faster if they actually let us help work on it. There are plenty of us here who are good with technology.

Yeah, exactly. Do they just like... say no, or are they open to having outside help? It could move things a lot faster.
