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 see. As more information becomes easily accessible, more kinds of information does, too. You needn't visit a hall of records to learn somewhat of a person. I assure you, I'm one of those who doesn't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah. No one but the displaced are able to tell who we are. Considering how awkward it is, I don't look. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Curiosity is difficult for many to resist. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes. It can be. There are some parts of myself that are mine alone, but a lot of my life is public. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I know somewhat of the feeling. It's strange when others have heard stories of your life, embellished though they may be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I am happy to say that the questions and the awkwardness hasn't been too bad. I'm at least not Harry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't know this Harry, so I cannot be sure what you mean. Is he someone else from your world? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He is from our world. The main character of our books apparently. He paints me in a good light and for that, I appreciate him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	How strange to be thought of as a mere fiction! I'm told that mine are "narrated" by me, as if I would share my private journals with any who wished to read them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	billiamweasley 2018-07-18 04:45 am UTC (link)
	It is certainly unsettling. I haven't really read our books because it feels a bit off. I have yet to encounter anyone that shares their private journals with others unless their journals are scholarly in nature. (Reply to this) (Parent)
