#bell town

[starsailorstories]

A bit messy, but here’s my personal reference map of Bell Town--I finally made it, after years of envisioning it in my head. A lot of the building in Bell Town is vertical, and the mass I labelled “houses and workshops” has a bunch of little walkways going around and back into it and even rooms chiseled into the concrete side of the pipe and sealed at their edges. The clinic needs a map in and of itself, it’s organized but it’s an organic sort of organization that’s spread out slowly as the town grows (Bolt, bless her, has never sat down and planned a large-scale thing in her life--as an umbralis she got up in the morning ready to respond to exactly what was needed cheerfully, efficiently and effectively without having the slightest idea what it would be, and her approach hasn’t changed). The “arena”, so nicknamed because it’s surrounded by storage scaffolds that resemble arena seating, has very little permanent furnishing besides said scaffolds--every squadron adapts it to their own needs and then the next one moves their stuff and adapts it to theirs.

A lot of the pipes, including the main one, slope, and can be navigated with carts attached to a pulley system. None of this is like, to scale, but it’s all bigger than it looks, even those narrow little runoff tunnels can fit like 3 people across...well, 3 lux people across, which is probably single-file-worthy for humans

Main meeting/planning area, which is several partitioned-off desks and conference areas

Radio room

DT’s one-room home

DT’s office

Winch elevator

Water filter and fountain

Bored tunnel, a tunnel bored out of boredom

The first attempt of the project that led to bored tunnel, which hit any or all of: a wall/water/pipelines/critters

I’m just on a kick of posting song lyrics I guess but I also recently wrote this vol. 2 era Bolt song, I might make a vid of it at some point

This is the night after the decision is made that Detta is officially moving in to Bell Town and Boltie has some feelings about it

We’ll make a place for you soon,

But you can sleep here for now.

The suns have gone to bed too,

You just can’t see, underground.

You’ll be safe and sound with us,

It’s over, nothing left to fear;

Get some rest, you’ve had a big day,

I’ll just be right here

if you need anything,

my darling.

(musical break here)

There was never any dissonance of destiny--

Not for me,

I wanted to be.

I dreamed of belonging,

Being strong enough to meet her every need.

Made for it, that was me.

Now I know love,

And I am whole, I am

Exactly who I should be.

There’s no more question in my mind

Than there was then.

Yet again,

I toss and turn, I question

In the space in between those lives

Did I miss something

That should have been mine?

Was it this? All along?

My true quest to keep--

To lie here and watch a child

Smile in her sleep?

I fought the demons of my training

To feel what was wrong

I was not ready for what felt right--

I was not ready to regret,

For the first time in my life,

Tonight.

I may not be the pious sort

But I guess I did believe

That there’s a plan,

An immortal hand--

She doesn’t grade and sort our spirits,

She’s not in the aula’s image,

But still she doesn’t make mistakes,

She doesn’t gamble with our fates.

Still I look back across the turns I’ve lived

And see the ghosts of someone

That I might have been.

That was--stolen.

I see midnight light in summer,

I see the meadows ripe to thresh.

I see daughters clinging to the skirts

Of a sky-blue woven dress,

And in that dress there is a body,

Strong and unmanipulated,

And through its eyes I see a home

That my constant core created.

I am more grateful now than ever,

My life is full of love.

But still I care.

It wasn’t fair.

I will fight every day for you

And someday when you’re standing

In my shoes,

You’ll really choose.

You’ll really choose.
