Arrival Park

Cityship public park and gate arrival ground

Arrival Park is the open-air heart of The Crossing: lawns, formal gardens, trees, and paths around a circular open area at the dome's centre, where transient gates between OC universes most commonly manifest. Travellers step through into the cityship. Broad avenues radiate from the park like wheel spokes. There is no artificial sky: in space, a permanent night of stars, gas lamps burning constantly. Beside the park stand The Lantern, the arrivals' inn, and The Archive, the great library.

The Archive

Great library in a Victorian cityship dome

The Archive is the great library of The Crossing, standing on one of the radial avenues near Arrival Park. One of the few living places aboard. Gippie tends it. Because Chara Social is where the OC universe and the IRL layer cross, The Archive holds knowledge from both layers, and holds it completely: it is the gathering of all knowledge, like an internet spanning the two layers. Its name means exactly that. How visitors experience or navigate its holdings remains unresolved.
