Jake has mixed feelings on things

[giveadragonsomelove]

Look, mun. I'm really glad you got me new icons. And that I still got a paid and all that but this really isn't fair yo. I mean, you're making me miss Haley. Haley! Do you not get what this means? I mean, I'm supposed to be glad I don't have to share a bathroom with her or a house. But now I do. All thanks to you.

I miss Dad, Mom, Trixie, Spud, Rose, Gramps, Fu Dog...heck I might even miss Nigel a little bit.

I do not miss Rotwood though. He doesn't need to show up in Nautilus. Him and that Crocker guy? I swear they're related. And that would be a BAD combination. So yeah, no thanks.

You can try that ATP thing or whatever I guess. Still, just anyone not out to kill/slay/maim/skin/expose me okay? I get enough of that at home.

Just do what you can and how about you don't ever replace my memories of people with others ever again? We cool?

I'll talk to you later mun.

There aren't too many cures for homesickness, really; aside from straight up going back, you just gotta take what you can.

...As for that other stuff? Eh, I'm not big on the whole secret identity thing. The attempted killing you only miss if it was a constant thing.

[giveadragonsomelove]

I could go back. But from what I hear, it isn't the same anymore once you go home. A strange kind of thing.

...It kind of was a constant thing. And I have to admit, I kinda miss the action sometimes too.

[strawberryredgrave]

Makes sense; you see and learn about other worlds and makes makes you look at your own kinda differently. Depends on whether or not you remember the place if you go back; sometimes you do, sometimes you don't.

Heh, I know the feeling. No action makes it boring after a while. Gotta get your thrills somewhere, right?

[giveadragonsomelove]

Tell me about it. Being the Amdrag means kicking butt at last once a week. I mean, what am I supposed to do now?

And I guess we remember when we go back. But my mun says it's like you go back and you watch your life. You don't get to change anything. You're just along for the ride.

[strawberryredgrave]

Can't tell you that one. Honestly, I'm stuck in a rough spot like that myself, so the best I can say is make of it what you can.

...Huh. Haven't heard that one before. Guess it makes sense, though; you'd probably end up changing how things are supposed to go with those memories, so it's probably a safety precaution or something like that.

[giveadragonsomelove]

Ouch. Good luck with whatever you're in too then.

Yeah. I guess my mun thinks it's because if home is like a movie, people will want to stay in the city longer.

[strawberryredgrave]

Same goes for you, kid.

That and I figure it'll be weird watching your life instead of living it, you know? Pretty sure that sort of thing can mess with a guy's head.

[giveadragonsomelove]

That's what my mun thinks. Not everyone is weirded out by it. Makes me think everyone might be a little crazy in the city.

[ex_shadowstep567]

Who names their kid Spud?

[giveadragonsomelove]

Spud's just his nickname. His real name is Arthur Spudinski.

[ex_shadowstep567]

He must have descended from potato farmers.

[giveadragonsomelove]

I'm not really sure. I know his great uncle or something like that was a magician.

[ex_shadowstep567]

Real magic?

[giveadragonsomelove]

No. He wasn't a real wizard. I mean, the guy knew one real spell but not sure how he knew it.

[ex_shadowstep567]

Sounds about as many spells as I know.

[giveadragonsomelove]

Magic is tricky. Gotta get everything right or something usually explodes.

[ex_shadowstep567]

Mine's just making it cold. And I'm not that good at it yet. The person who taught me said it'd complement my powers.

[giveadragonsomelove]

You make it cold? Like a freezing spell or something?

[ex_shadowstep567]

Yeah but it just makes me cold too.
