'Sup.
Let's get get some work done.

The secondary reason, is because the Crystal Cities are all very warm. I'm not sure if this is because they're built on Venus, one of the hottest planets in the solar system, if it's a side-effect of all terraforming equipment chugging away in their moonstone bottoms, or if it's just that whoever has control of the thermostat has it cranked up so the skirts are practical. Whatever the reason, the Crystal Cities all tend to be about eighty degrees fahrenheit. Luckily, the air cyclers on the station suck the moisture from the air, making it a dry, arid heat. Having spent some time in Texas, I believe the elimination of humidity from station to be an incredibly brilliant design decision.

Okay, that was a weak blurb.
And I'm not actually sure if I'm going to get away with the temperature thing. I have no idea what altitude the cities are at, or how good at conducting heat the crystal bits of the city are. If they're higher up, then being in space could actually make area close to the 'edge' cooler. If lower, then they might be hotter. On the other hand, it might be irrelevant if the crystal bits don't conduct heat. The reason I'm wondering about this, is because I'm wondering what the 'weather' would be like a crystal city. Not about the non-existant rain, but in an enclosure of this size different areas might be different temperatures, which might actually cause breezes. Mind you, they'd probably be small and localized, given the cramped arrangements, but still.
The reason I'm bringing this up, is because I remembered reading years ago about an underground shopping center that had an artificial breeze. Unfortunately, I don't remember where it was, or how it was accomplished.
Another thing I'm wondering, is what the gravity is like. I know Venus's gravity is supposed to be lower than Earth's, but is it noticably so? Is it even lower, since they're miles above the ground? Is gravity at earth normal anyway, due to wave-hax?
And, again, I'm wondering about how all the cities tie together. There's ten (eleven, if you count Osaka) of them, organized into three clusters. I'm jumping between a few models of thoughts for these. One, is a Commuter model. You have a Primary City where you work, and then a city where you live. The Japan Cluster probably wouldn't operate on this, given that it's the 'busiest' and probably most populated. The Europe Cluster, on the other hand, has most of Moscow and Venice given over to farms. So, people might prefer to live in Paris. This makes the Euro Cluster a lot closer knit than the other ones. They're probably arranged slightly closer to ease transit between cities, and the people who live there might identify more with being on the Euro Cluster, than their individual city.
The American Cluster, on the other hand, is organized like the Japan cluster. You live and work in the same city, so the Cluster isn't as tightly tied together. However, this gives each city more of it's own identity... But I'm not going into that. Doing cultural write-ups for ten different cities, and accounting for the reasons why their individual cultures drifted apart would be a pain. Given that each of the cities is only a few years old, there's barely anytime for them to drift.
On an unrelated note, who would be the people to nag about Panzer Kunst?
