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.

A little, yeah. But there's a lot of stuff do do around here. It might not always be as exciting, but helping people is still helping people.

[ Even if it's just repairing a damage building for someone in under a minute or offering to provide the labor for free to restaurants looking to renovate their kitchen. ]

You can say that again. And just because you know what you should do doesn't necessarily mean you know how to do it.

Yeah, exactly.

[Teddy has still found small ways to help people, at least, and that's enough. He likes being able to feel useful, make a difference...]

Maybe the break is good, right? Gives us plenty of time to work it out at least. Or maybe plenty of time. Does anyone know when they're going home at all?

Most of the people I know who left were told they'd have a chance to leave a day or two in advance. Though my best friend was only given a few hours notice before he was allowed to go home.

[ Which sucked because Wally was preoccupied outside the wall when Dick Grayson chose to leave. His friend had left him a letter, but it wasn't the same as getting to say goodbye in person since he has no idea when he'll see his friend again. ]

It's basically a luck of the draw sort of thing as far as I know.

At least people have a bit of a chance to say goodbye, I guess. I imagine there are plenty of people who'd appreciate it if they've been here a while.

Sorry about your friend though.

[Teddy can't say he's not looking forward to maybe going home some day soon, if only to get out of this awkward situation he's landed in, but... getting his hopes up isn't a good idea probably.
