1. [voice; backdated to 11:00pm on the 6th] Truths Eclipsed by a Tumultous Sky
Ah, hello. I suppose I'm new. I can't say this is very... um... convenient -- to be brought here, I mean -- but there are upsides. It may seem silly, but if you look out the window....
There is a moon. Sure, it's hard to see, but it's really there. It's also a little, ah, creepy out there right now, granted, but... at least the stars are also there, under all that smog, right? It's a lot better than not having them at all. I wonder if the clouds ever get thin enough to see them, though...
Anyway, it's nice to look at the moon for the first time in ten years.
[And now, the actual question he's been building up to:]
Does anyone else come from a place with no sky?
Or -- is there anything your home is missing that this city has?
