For those of you not familiar with this version of the 1920s, some information.

Yes, alcohol is illegal, this is the decade they passed the prohibition laws that lasted until the early 30s. As a result, illegal distribution boomed. As you may be able to guess, those who partook in that distribution weren't always the most savour of people. Mobsters really made a killing on it. Literally and figuratively.

So, to avoid any of you entering the wrong speakeasies or getting into some trouble with poorly or improperly mixed alcohol, I do have locations of the more reliable ones and the current codes to enter -they are called speakeasies for a reason. I don't require anything in return, other than perhaps a favour in the future, but it's better no one ends up with alcohol poisoning while we're here. Just tell me you're prepared to meet those terms and I'll send you a map and list of the passwords.

I doubt the hospitals are all that reliable if you aren't taken back to one of our doctor types.

For you, there's no request. Although I dare say you can smell poorly made alcohol the second a cork is out of it.

What kind of favor?

Usually depends on what I need at the time and who can help.

Scouting for something, maybe an extra set of hands for something. Your undying soul.



That last one was a joke.

You wouldn't want my soul anyway. But the other things listed would be doable. I like to know what I'm getting myself into.

Oh, who says I wouldn't want your soul? Every soul has value.

Nothing overly illegal would be required. I can usually do those things myself.

A lot to unpack with mine.

Not a problem. I have a long relationship with the morally grey.

Those ones can be the most use. Besides, in my world it's not your soul that's useful, but the heart.

I'd call myself ... ethically compromised at the moment, but not that badly.

Ethically compromised and morally grey sounds like a great combination.

Okay, I'll take the locations in case of prohibition, and I'll owe you that favor.

Then I'll just have to keep you in mind for those minor illegal events.

Where are you right now? I'll send it along.

Prohibition did start in North America, but not until the 17th of January, 1920 when the Volstead Act went into effect. Most people think it is the beginning of the 1920s and that is mostly correct.

Though the rise of rumrunners has already started thanks to Canada.

I tried not to word vomit at you, but I did manage to not do it so everyone can see. I'm sorry. I have problems stopping myself when it comes historical facts... or anything educational actually.

I am aware. I took American History too.

But since we don't know when in 1920 we are, since calendars aren't really a feasible thing for most of us here, it's better safe than sorry.

Sorry. I know not everyone is from America or even Earth.

You don't think it is the same day, just different year? Though I suppose anything is most likely possible with multidimensional time travel... and you are right. Better safe than sorry! I don't think anyone wants to be locked up.

I thought I was clear on why I offered things.

I don't see why it would be. We're 100 years in the past from Goodland, and the present for Goodland is several months and years ahead of time for me personally. We've demonstrated that it's in a pocket dimension, so why would it adhere to calendars?

So my assumption they might loosely teach prohibition history in other countries may be wrong.

Goodland is very strange with how it treats time. When Michael was here he was from ahead of me, but never knew I left. It is interesting to think we are here and home at the same time.

Other countries probably teach other countries history. I am American, so it was just part of the curriculum. The Brits might only loosely be aware.

My fiance is from ahead of me in our timeline. Significantly ahead of me. But I think he would've noticed if I'd disappeared from our timeline. Because it's a common occurrence and he'd track me down.

How did you come across said codes and locations? No, you know, never mind. Please consider this an official request.
