Right-side up always helps!

So it does! [Just let him turn the map around...and his smile will finally falter just a little.]

Or so it should. I'm afraid I've never read a map before.

[unifying]

Really? If you need help, I can try! [ She's not exactly the most coordinated... ]

First you might want to figure out where on the map you are! So look at the map, and look around you, try and see if anything matches...

Pinball? Hyahaha, you mean like the old machines? I haven't played one of those in ages, but back in the day I was quite a pro.

But what's that got to do with any of this?

[iseetheglory]

Nothing, really. I was curious. Pinball is part of what led me here. [A pinball-driven cult, really.]

Pinball did...? [ okay that he didn't see coming. ] What do you mean?

[Tapping on the screen, frowning, trying to figure out if his bracelet is working. When he ambiguously decides it is he starts talking.]

s' all color coded, isn't it? An' all th' numbers signify a certain place. Guess ya gotta visit each place an' make yer own key. I can tell ya th' bluish green section is Baldr's district!

[He smiles amiably.] What's pinball?

[Hold on. Give him a moment to double check.]

Oh. Suppose it is. I'm supposed to be finding Freya's district. Have you any clue what color it is?

[OH GOD A CHANCE TO TALK ABOUT PINBALL. BIGGER SMILE.] It's a game. It's on a table with flippers and you have to keep a metal ball up as long as you can. It's lovely.

[gesta_danorum]

Nope! I can help ya find it though, if ya'd like!

[He blinks at the description.] Sounds like fun, how many people can play at a time?
