headcanon that sleeping in completely enclosed spaces makes Daud anxious

The Flooded District is the perfect place for the Whalers to hide - nobody around, hard to reach without power, easy to defend, a literal biological barrier to anyone not immune to the plague - but evidently there are other rooms around who have a roof, and even if he really wanted that one the Whaler’s could have fixed it up somewhat. Even if he wanted that room because it's the hardest to reach place (easiest to guard hard to reach w/o powers), he didn't need to keep the roof as is. The Whalers have obviously roughly arranged the buildings around, with the passageways. Even without rebuilding the roof, they probably could have put a metal sheet or some planks? Because the way it is, his room gets absolutely flooded every time there's some rain.

Or he likes the rain. or he likes to look at the stars because the stars are the same as the stars he would look at as a boy in Serkonos

Yes please we need more roof lore. We always talk about the roof being gone but WHY no roof

I love the implication that Daud just doesn't give a shit about it. daud pretends the hole doesn’t exist and the newer whalers come up with increasingly weird stories to explain the hole. Even when it rains, he just stands there, getting drenched, pretending he is not getting soaked through to the skin

Daud called Thomas into his room and pointed up at the sky

"Thomas, look up at the sky and tell me what you see," said Daud

Thomas replied, "I see millions of stars."

"What does that tell you?"

Thomas pondered for a minute.

"Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets.

"Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo.

"Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three.

"Theologically, I can see that God is all powerful and that we are small and insignificant.

Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow.

"What does it tell you, Daud?"

Daud was silent for a minute, then spoke: "Thomas, you idiot. Someone has stolen my fucking roof!"
