David had finally arrived in New York City. After a month of trekking to Washington D.C. from Charleston S.C., then a week long steamboat ride from a very friendly man in the Potomac, he was relieved. His main reason for traveling here was in an attempt to disrupt the supply lines of the raiders in Pittsburg, now known as the Pitt, but David also wanted to stick around for a while, and see if he could help out, make NYC a better place. Thanking the steamboat driver, David stepped up to the gates of a makeshift city called Liberty Island, built up around the Statue of Liberty. David waved to the gate guards and introduced himself, making sure to keep a respectable distance, and keep his hands above the waist. "Hey there. Is the city open? My name's David, I'm a traveler, looking for a place to stop for a while." [@Letter Bee]
