[intelligently]

So I woke up this morning and started to feel pretty uncomfortable in my god house. It's starting to get to the point now where I don't feel like I should be here.

( Except this is her house, right? Wrong. Lydia's new memories from home have resulted in her changing houses - from Odin to Hel, and she doesn't know it, or that it can happen )

So for anyone that's actually left here, has anyone felt unwanted in their home? Their house here, not in your world. I know it happens when you visit another house but this is my house.

Or is everything just getting messed up the more the war goes on?

( Thiazi's getting stronger and some guy's soul has been stolen. That's pretty messed up )

[ Hel house seems to be the one people swap in and out of the most. And being in it, Connor's known quite a few of the swappers. ]

Hi... I think I know what happened. What color is the stone on your bracelet?

[intelligently]

A sort of red. Why?

[daddyissues]

Wine red or pinkish red? Because I want to say you're in a new house. Sometimes when the gods feel like you've changed, they'll move you.

[ He reaches over, and then he's holding up a bracelet for Lydia to see. The stone matches her new one. ] This is Hel's color.

[intelligently]

That red. It wasn't red before.

( No kidding. She was in Odin's house before, not Hel )

I guess knowing the god would help you figure out why you've changed.

[daddyissues]

[ ...he's curious. No denying that! But it's not really his place, so Connor only nods and passes the bracelet back offscreen. Still, he'd like to help somehow. ]

Do you need help moving or anything?

[intelligently]

I'll probably need some. Do I get to pick a room this time or have they already picked one for me?

[daddyissues]

I'm not sure... I don't live in the hall anymore to check. The uncomfortable feeling is going to get worse, though, you should start packing up so we can get you over there before curfew.

Hello again, Lydia.

[There's a long pause before he goes on. He's been gone for a while, and there is a chance that she won't even remember their conversation from time ago.]

It's likely that you've changed houses. I've just had it happen myself.

[intelligently]

You're a sight for sore eyes.

( How long has it been now? Months. She's not seen him since not long after she'd arrived )

Where did you move to? And when did you get back?

[livedtwice]

I'm glad. I'd meant to speak to you more before I left, only it hadn't turned out that way.

[Which is a shame, really.]

I moved to Hel, and I only just returned yesterday.

[intelligently]

Well we can catch up on that now instead.

( They had so much time, or not masses but some )

Where were you before?

[livedtwice]

Yes, I suppose we can.

[But first things first—]

I was in Heimdall before. I had a terrible power, and it wasn't any good for battle. I don't really resent where I am for that reason alone. [Though he doesn't dislike the values of Heimdall in the least.]

[intelligently]

Hel has shadow control, right?

( And something else - there's always two, she just doesn't know what the second one is )

I'm in Odin. Or apparently was. If I knew what I had to do for the other powers that might make figuring out my new house simple.

[livedtwice]

And body manipulation. I got lucky.

[But he wonders if it's the same for her. He doesn't ask, and even regrets the "I got lucky." After all, what if she didn't get a good new power? Fire or ice are preferable to ... most things.]

You might be able to ask one of the gods.

[bloodypocket]

There have been accounts of this happening before, to different people. In all likelihood one of the gods may have decided to take you from another.

[intelligently]

You'd think this new god would want you to know about it.

[bloodypocket]

It might just be that the feeling of discomfort would be more convenient than speaking to every person individually. We already feel it if we stay in another House that isn't our own for too long.

[intelligently]

Maybe but it could take a while to find out the new house if they don't mention anything.

[bloodypocket]

Or a bracelet could be checked, more often than not the stones are an indicator of which god is your current patron.

[intelligently]

Well I know what I'll have to do each day now, just in case.

I didn't know people changed houses that often.

Here, as in just the house, or here as in the city itself?

text

[intelligently]

The house. But no one is supposed to be in the city.

text - omg ignore my fucking up

[variates]

Sorry, meant this place in general.

You feeling the urge to move out?

[intelligently]

I'll have to unless I want to feel unwelcome every second I'm in my god house. Which isn't my god house anymore.

[variates]

I didn't think switching was possible.
