After you've managed to eliminate the control of its previous owner? I couldn't tell you what it's like to actually claim one because I've never done it—I'm what one might call a "roamer," someone who navigates Existence without any territories or allegiances.

@Techspert

And that's allowed?

@whizzball1

It isn't suggested.

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

@Techspert

I wouldn't think so!

[Techspert]

@whizzball1

I just really haven't been able to bring myself to care. Not for a long time, and when I did care, it wasn't my choice.

@Techspert

That's unfortunate! Do you care now?

@whizzball1

Ideally I won't ever see it again, so I won't have to care. To clarify, I mean care about roaming.

@Techspert

Oh! I wouldn't super care either unless I couldn't see my family.

@Techspert

Can I ask the personal question you probably expect me to ask?

Feel free. I'll answer what I can.

@Techspert

What did you leave behind?

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

What did you leave behind?

@whizzball1

*Looks up in thought*
My grandfather was the biggest thing I think I left there. Some of my projects and research I couldn't take with me I also left, and, of course, all of the comfort in knowing what I was getting myself into is gone forever.

@Techspert

The comfort in what?

[Techspert]

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

The comfort in what?

@whizzball1

There's comfort in familiarity. Everything is going to be different now, forever.

@Techspert

Oh! I understand what you mean. I don't think I've ever experienced that.

@whizzball1

I hope you don't have to. It's... well, uncomfortable.

[whizzball1]

@Techspert

Because there's comfort in familiarity?

Exactly.
