find the phone book

Yes, that makes perfect sense, obviously you're going to find the answers in a book designed for use with a device that doesn't exist yet.

Find an alphabet peasant to do it for you

They don't call them peasants any more, and most of them can't read anyways. Besides, even if they could, they're probably not even halfway through the alphabet!

your state of mind

Your state of mind is clearly deeply disturbed, which probably has a lot to do with the fact that it's inhabiting Rave here. You're not finding any slave information in there.

You're clearly overthinking this. You just grab a state at random and start flipping through...

Oh. It's New Jersey. Of course it is, even though the story you're satirizing was set in the South. And you've already landed on the name of this slave, which you obviously remember even though it was never mentioned in the adventure at all.

Aand he's dead. Great, looks like you'll have to go even further back to fix that. Well, at least you're done with Rave, so you break your concentration.

You'll need some time to recover before you can go back again, so it's time for a perspective shift.

Who are you now?
