*To forget the sun...Enoch will gladly tell stories. He just hopes his own Earth won't feel like a mockery to Aleph. And that....that doesn't come up.*
There are two worlds which I could call mine. One is Earth, and the other named Meridian. Shall I tell you of both, Aleph?
*There were going to be sore spots however it went. So Enoch would start with Meridian. That was but a small moment in time as compared to everything else. He wanted to preserve that memory.*
Meridian was a world made of a city. It was similar to this tower in that natural rifts would bring people from many worlds, and from different points in time in the same world, to it, and that a being with great power oversaw its daily maintenance and provided for the guests brought in through the rifts. That very being is here in this tower, in fact, and her name is Sola. She was a kind ruler, even if she didn't understand the way things were meant to taste, and her food never tasted the way one would expect. She cared for the city and its new inhabitants. She always worked to restore the peace whenever it was broken.
These are good memories. If only my memory of it ended there. But I will not trouble you with more than these. You seek the comfort of happy memories, do you not?
My world is... well, there's a lot of people who don't live on Earth at all. I grew up in a colony, for example, and there's some that are pretty far away, too.
Don't throw away what you wrote. You might remember something else, and then you can add it.
Anyway.
I'm from a city called Mitakihara. [She starts out talking a bit clipped - there's two ways she remembers Mitakihara, nowadays: the way she wants it to be, and the way it was whenever the tower decided she could take another visit. It's better to talk about the former right now, even if it's.. a painful memory.]
Unless it's a time of day when it's super busy, everything there is super spacious. A lot of places are built so they let in a lot of light, too - I mean, I think our school had more windows than walls. So everywhere out in public felt really open, until you start walking in between the places you're supposed to.

It sounds like it's a lot more beautiful than my own home. Well, there's open spaces, but nothing like parks or anything - it's more desolate than open.
[Her almost-response to that is, 'they might not look so different now,' but it's a gloomy thought that she quickly brushes away.]
I never thought about it much living there.. but beautiful sounds about right. It was still a big city, so I guess it was hard to get in the 'oh, this is pretty so I should admire it!' mindset.
[..Anyway, cities were noisy. She was always more of a sound over aesthetics kind of person.]
i can tell you a bit about my world, even though i never got to see most of it i lived on an island in the middle of the pacific ocean with my grandpa and my dog my grandpa was an explorer and an inventor he taught me a lot of cool things, and he made a robot that recorded my dreams while i was asleep but he died when i was still pretty young, and then it was just me and bec on our island i had a few friends online, but for years i never got to see another person... well, except for in my dreams on prospit that was a little different, though, since those were chess people
hot and humid, mostly but there were a lot of cool places to explore! there was even a temple... it was in ruins, though and there were some, but maybe not as many as you would expect

And my world is depressing, so no.
[Text]
Is it worse than here?
[Text]
... Sometimes. At least here the food can sometimes be safe and we have beds.
[Text]
That's a good point...

Well, it did have my conglomerate running part of the show. It's a shame this isn't the case anywhere else.

As for my own world..I lived on Earth, in Japan. It didn't have any monsters or supernatural powers, but I did enjoy living there.

i lived on an island in the middle of the pacific ocean with my grandpa and my dog
my grandpa was an explorer and an inventor
he taught me a lot of cool things, and he made a robot that recorded my dreams while i was asleep
but he died when i was still pretty young, and then it was just me and bec on our island
i had a few friends online, but for years i never got to see another person...
well, except for in my dreams on prospit
that was a little different, though, since those were chess people
[text]
What's it like living on an island? Are there lots of animals?
[text]
but there were a lot of cool places to explore!
there was even a temple... it was in ruins, though
and there were some, but maybe not as many as you would expect
