I've seen and heard a lot about Horizons and how most view them as a personal domain. A meaningful place in most respects, something that feels like home.

In theory, I can understand it, and how it bends to the whim of the mind and memory. The problem is that I'm not sure how to put that into practice.

What if your comfort is in people, not places? How do you quantify that and use it to craft your sanctum?

I been meaning to tell you, actually
The bunker's there now
Your room's how you left it, so uh
You know

Door's always open, it's yours if you want it

[dirtytrenchcoat]

The bunker?
That's

That's good
Thank you
I'll move in right away

I missed it

[righteously]

No problem
Just head in the Roadhouse, go straight through Dr. Badass's door, you can't miss it.

You can always share yours with someone else if you don't necessarily want to create your own domain. Viktor and I share ours.

[dirtytrenchcoat]

Who is Viktor to you?

[hextechhead]

Best friend, work partner, boyfriend. We worked together back home so he had already remade our lab and associated rooms, so I just added a few rooms of my own. Every room does have meaning though, to one or both of us.

[catholica]

Is there something that reminds you of the person you have in mind?

[dirtytrenchcoat]

I'm not sure.
It would be difficult to narrow those things down to one experience or moment in time.

[catholica]

No places that you spent a lot of time with them at?

[bealufull]

I would think then you might make somewhere that is special to them, or that makes you think about them. Perhaps somewhere special to you.

My first time on the horizon, I learned my club was already there as someone from home had crafted it for much the same reason, I suspect.

[dirtytrenchcoat]

Your club?

[bealufull]

A place I ran back in my own world. A place of gambling and drinks and entertainment.

[godshattering]

It's not the same as seeing them, but I've found having things that around that remind you of them can help. Their favorite books, drinks, anything along those lines. Maybe even a portrait of them or a memory you have if we're talking about creating anything and everything you might want around.

Sometimes it can take the edge off homesickness, just a little bit.

[dirtytrenchcoat]

So, it's possible to fill in the blanks and bring forward things that honor those memories.

I like that.

[godshattering]

Yes, that's a much better way of saying what I was attempting to, actually. It's not the same when there's a lot of blanks that can only be filled by whoever it is you're missing. But - it does help.

And as something else on the positive side, switching around whatever does or doesn't work will be a lot easier in the horizon. You could always start with something small and add to it over time with whatever else feels right.

[tobeclosetohim]

I guess I’m seconding Kaz here.

I haven’t really stopped to think about.
What with the Roadhouse already being there.

[dirtytrenchcoat]

The roadhouse and now the bunker.
Have you visited it and its many rooms yet?

[dirtytrenchcoat]

Thank you. So far no one has mentioned the connection to the mindset and that information that makes more sense when my own situation is considered.

Places have never been important to me. I've seen them all shift and change over time. People are what matters.

[philancer]

It's not all that strange, to find it in people instead. I think in some ways it's better that way, actually. Maybe if you thought of somewhere that was important to you both? Or where you shared memories with them. Somewhere that stands out as impactful in that comfort. Maybe it's not the place itself that has to be important, but what that place reminds you of?

[dirtytrenchcoat]

The only places I know that fit that description already exist within his horizon. I think impactful might be something I can work with, I'll let you know if I manage anything. Your input has been very helpful, you're very wise. Thank you.

[aquilus]

Perhaps this is an opportunity to stretch your capabilities. If you are not beholden to a particular place or style of dwelling, you can try anything, and then try again if it's not to your satisfaction.

[dirtytrenchcoat]

You make a good point. Do you have a horizon yet?

[subhuman]

Seen someone make a tower out of people once. Thinking they took it a little too literally.

[dirtytrenchcoat]

A tower out of people?
