Network Post: Phèdre nó Delaunay
Greetings to you, people of Tumbleweed. I am Phèdre nó Delaunay de Montrève. I've been sequestered for some days now as I learn about this land and how to begin living in it. I feel more ready now to begin making your acquaintance.

I've consulted the maps and history summaries, and it appears my homeland of Terre d'Ange shares its geography and many features with "France," and the greater land of Europa with "Europe." Someday I may determine precisely when things became so different while still sharing somewhat that is considered historic here. For instance, your "Jesus Christ" appears to be Yeshua ben Yosef, whose spilled blood mingled with the Magdalene's tears in the womb of the Earth to beget Elua; Blessed Elua and his Companions have no counterpart that I've yet found. Your "Roman" Empire made conquests where our Tiberians were driven back. This place is on a continent I never knew existed, if it does exist in my world.

I'm already quite fond of the baths. I'm accustomed many buckets of heated water poured into the tub if one wants any warmth. There is much that is different, but the pleasure of a hot bath isn't lost to me.

My deepest thanks to Mesdames Tano and Wells for their continued assistance, especially upon my arrival. Your patience with me has gone far towards alleviating my bewilderment with this world. I will, of course, begin to pay Madame Wells for my accommodations and the use of her wardrobe as soon as I acquire local currency. Perhaps to start with, someone would purchase the coins I carry for their metal? They have no value here as currency, but I have some silver and gold.

	I understand the troubles of adjusting to a new time. It has been some time since I've had to. It is easier to adjust to 2018 since I had already adjusted some time ago to the 2000s. What was the year when you arrived? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Our reckoning of time is different from the calendar here, but I estimate it was some centuries prior to now. May I have your name? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ah. I suppose that is one of those things. [...] Sorry. I am Victor Frankenstein. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Indeed, it poses a difficulty to making comparisons. A pleasure to meet you, Monsieur Frankenstein. Did somewhat of this sort happen to you before to give you experience adjusting? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes. I was in Chicago previously. It was 1891 at the time for me before I showed up in 2014. So quite a lot of time had passed for me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Is Chicago another country I haven't heard of before? What have you marked as the greatest differences since your time? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It is a city in a state inside of this country. The state is Illinois. There is more electricity, the telephones, medicine as a whole is quite changed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, it's not entirely surprising. Something's bound to be different in some places. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's amazing how easily you can access information here. You don't have to maintain a personal library or borrow from others. I miss my own, of course. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
