Rum and tobacco are standard offerings for any Loa (pipe tobacco for Papa Legba), but that’s hardly the only thing they accept. Most of them are very fond of coffee, brewed as strong as you can get it and served hot with a lot of sugar in.
I don’t hear Remy speak in this accent (I hear Remy with a standard Yat accent), but I definitely hear Legba riding Remy speak with a nigh-impenetrable, Justin Wilson style Cajun drawl.
I suspect this is Pavaine. They’ve already appeared in Sweetheart’s VR experience, and there was also Gavotte’s warning that Pavaine would be offering help, in a non-helpful way.
It’s a lot less *tawdry* than the reasons previously given for hell to visit earth (celebrity gossip). Clearly this is a deity of some taste (and cool hats).
Coffee’s definitely worth a journey to the material world, though pizza or chocolate would motivate me even more.
Most of the Loa will happily agree about the coffee. And Papa Legba in particular is fond of candies.
I wonder what would happen if Papa got hold of some of Dr. Lee’s high-test coffee substitute?
Oh, I’d love to see that!
Stop agreeing with me, I need to be the only one who’s right!
A loa after my own heart.
Far better than having one that’s just plain after you.
Yep, I know exactly how he feels.
I’m gonna miss it too.
I’ll probably end up haunting an espresso machine after I’m done here.
Last chance hypothesis: I think this is the acronym AI from St. Charlie. He can put words in people’s heads.
Thought he preferred earthly rum.
Long as he doesn’t ask for anything he drinks to have gunpowder added to it, we’re good.

I haven’t thought about Just Digustin – Cajun cook in almost forever.
Never heard of Justin Wilson, but after listening to him on YouTube I wonder if Ray the Firefly in “The Princess and the Frog” was modeled after him.

I’m seriously impressed, though not exactly surprised, how much the Skin Horse readership knows about vodun and the loa.
