Children once ran through the streets. There were busy markets and packed offices. But Offtopic being Offtopic, it never stayed that way. The oceans had come to life and the Elementals attacked, destroying much of the city. Now the builders were over scheduled, with too few people to finish the jobs set before them. Then they arrived. Strange metal creatures and alien beings. They were clearing up rubble and turning it into raw resources, and packaging belongings into boxes to be given to their owners. They were rebuilding houses.
