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 )

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.

[bloodypocket]

It is honestly not a common occurrence. Some people return or see more of their worlds in their dreams, and something they may have seen or experienced changes who they are.

It occurred even during the first days the Travellers were here.

[intelligently]

I dreamed of home but it seemed more than a dream. It's never happened before.

[bloodypocket]

... Are there any others of your world you could ask about this?

[intelligently]

They've all gone. About a week ago.

[bloodypocket]

What unfortunate timing. You could always ask the gods about it, you may have seen the future of your world. But I can't tell you for certain beyond that.

[intelligently]

I wish it wasn't the future. A bad dream would have been nicer. But I've changed houses too, are coincidences that big?

[bloodypocket]

If they were, then there would be more house switching because of bad dreams. No one else has provided a concrete answer?

[intelligently]

I was told the bracelet colour would tell me. But they didn't mention dreams.

Maybe not all house changing comes from seeing something.

[bloodypocket]

Some have actually left the realm physically before, and returned to find themselves assigned to a different house. Sometimes it's days, and other times it's seasons.

It happened as early as the first days the Travellers were here.

[intelligently]

Then it will be related to what happens at home - things that you experience. I've seen it in a dream when they actually experienced.

( And she's in the house for the dead now. She doesn't need three guesses to know what changed for her )

Have you ever changed house?

[bloodypocket]

Most likely. [If what he has heard from other people is any indication.]

But no, I have never changed houses. Freyr has been my patron from the very first day, but truth be told I doubted my placement there for a long time.

[intelligently]

What made you doubt it? Where did you think you'd fit better?

[bloodypocket]

... Perhaps I didn't know myself as well as I thought I did, but more likely it was an inability to understand at the time. I may have been more-suited for Hel.

[intelligently]

Because of something that's happened to you? That feels like a sad choice.

[bloodypocket]

Perhaps it is. But I don't question that placement as much as I once did anymore.

[intelligently]

You learned more about yourself by being in your house, then. Have you figured out what put you in it?

[bloodypocket]

One could argue that I share more in common with my patron than music. Or so says his sister and a few others.

[intelligently]

If a god said it that could be a sign, especially if people agree.

I know why I was in Odin's house before, and that hasn't changed but obviously what made me move was stronger than that.

[bloodypocket]

Perhaps so. Had it been only a few days sooner, I would have been in another house entirely. Several months, and it might have been another. Experience changes us and can happen in the blink of an eye.

[intelligently]

But how big would the change have to be for it to change you?

[bloodypocket]

You can't think of any events that would warrant a drastic change in how a person thinks?
