Secret moonlight trysts on the rooftops. Could they be happening on YOUR home?

A city on stilts? Like over water?

No. Over the land. Over another city, one of slums and poverty. They killed that city, and...

[And he helped. Too bad he doesn't know how to handle things.]

I worked in a tower on that plate. I worked in the sky while the earth rotted.

[ Bull frowns and tries to imagine it. Then he shakes his head. ]

In my experience a lot of people in your kind of situation doesn't really know what is going on in the slums

My job was to know. I was not just an architect. I was Urban Development. I was responsible for those people. For making their lives better. But I was the one who made it rot.

We all fuck up. All you can do is apologize, learn and do better in the future.

I try my best. But how does one atone when they are here?

Re: Private

[ataashihunter]

You help people here, you listen to the stories of people from a different life than you and you try to remember when you go home so you can do better.

Sounds like a plan. If we ever get to go home.

[He's been trying to make things better. But there is only so much he can manage.]

I will feel bad if I do go. And yet I want to be home. I know my friends will manage without me, but my sins will never be dealt with here. I can't heal this planet to make up for what i did to that one.

Re: Private

[ataashihunter]

That is true. Maybe we can find a way to send you home. What can be done to heal the planet?

Time, care, development of new and efficient energy sources for power, but not everywhere can run on hydroelectric or solar power or the like.

Re: Private

[ataashihunter]

Huh... I don't really know what either of those are. Don't think we have them in my world.

Re: Private

Power from water flowing, as I expect happens here, or power from the sun. If you don't have electricity you're likely only to use something like a mill for mechanical power, like grinding flour.
