BBS | Text | 5th November, Late Afternoon

[iron59]

[The god Set leaves a post to the network in the late afternoon, though the exact details may lack a little bit of context. He hasn't spent much time identifying himself by the name of the god he supposedly used to be, but he doesn't say anything to ease any confusion, either.]

1st. Does anyone know a quick way to America? A shrine that could be borrowed, maybe?

2nd. I'm trying to find a city, but there's nothing on the maps I can find. I can see Newton, Worcester, even Springfield, but there's forests and stuff where there should be Davenport. I can't even see the river it's on anywhere. Does anyone know why I can't find an entire city?

I've a few in New Orleans, mate! D'you need a hand?

[ Despite the god's name being clearly Hatian, the god itself sounds distinctly English. Street English, not posh and not quite Cockney either. ]

It's happened before, by the by, the not being able to find a whole city bit. Even if this place looks familiar, it's prolly not the place you're familiar with, mind. Not everything's the same as you remember.

If I can't find Davenport, I'm not sure how important it is.

[He had no plans to leave notes for people in the future or anything crazy like that, it's fine.]

It would be nice to go somewhere a bit more familiar, though. I've never been that far South, but it's still America.

Tried to find a place in Tokyo, myself. Couldn't find any trace of it on the phone or on any map. M'not quite sure where Davenport is but it's fairly likely it doesn't exist here.

[ There's a thoughtful hum after though. ]

I've only been once! Turned out me god was a married man. Gave his missus a bit of a fright, really. Could prolly make a day of it if you'd fancy!

East coast, up North. Lived there for a couple of years.

If we did go, I'd have a little bit of business to see to, but I could make it quick. I don't know much about New Orleans, though. I'm sure I could find something pretty easily, though.

Are there the same monsters there that there are in Tokyo? The spirits that try to eat us, I mean?

[diehardreaper]

Ayakashi, you mean? M'not sure. Wasn't there long enough to find out, actually.

[ Another pause as he thinks it over. ]

Didn't seem like those gods were using shinki the way we are so I can't say for certain.
