The one good thing about having to work so intensively with the Deep One ambassadors to the surface world about the Deepwater Horizon explosion's aftereffects is the geography. In the interests of keeping things relatively local, negotiations have been taking place in New Orleans. Which is a great city to visit and one that Ray appreciates, especially since Legrasse and his Swamp Rats were kind enough to invite him along on a couple of local busts just to wash the taste of bureaucracy out of his mouth. The city has, however, two problems. One is the climate. Ray is a New Yorker, and in August, Louisiana laughs heartily at the pleas and whimpers of those unused to its heat and humidity.
The other is that it has people who are willing to tell the seven-foot-tall blue-skinned fishmen about the existence of the French Quarter and certain establishments on Bourbon Street. After that it becomes a problem with the Deep Ones expressing interest in human culture and then Ray has to go sit somewhere with his head between his knees because his past five hours have been spent explaining all kinds of things to establishment owners who have no idea just how much alcohol somebody built like Tun'at-tsai and his bodyguards can put away.
Hooray for Milliways, but if anyone who looks even the least little bit Innsmouthy walks through the door, Ray's gonna plotz.
