[The video opens up to Grell, wearing black earmuffs, a black knit scarf about her neck that's tucked neatly into her red wool coat. She's outside the guardian station of Everglade.]

I've finally managed to get everything settled and...I'm back! [She smiles, knowing that she probably wasn't missed while she was quiet.] Due to the frigid weather, temporary shelters have been arranged in each city with the help of The Red House Foundation. Between my duties here in Everglade, managing that, running my shop, and roasting pumpkin seeds, I haven't had much time to be on the network these past few weeks.

I'd like to also mention that Guardian Andor and myself have established self-defense and first aid classes for the residents of Attleton and Everglade. With this project, our goal is to prepare our residents for any future events in which they would need to effectively defend or treat themselves until help arrives.

Perhaps when things seem...normal, for lack of a better word, there will be a fixed schedule.

[A gust of wind blows through, tussling her bangs and making her shiver once. Ugh, windchill...]

Last, I'll be running for City Guardian for another term, because I believe there is still much that can be done here.

[She ends the feed there, because it's cold.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Hi there!

[Some kind of weird-looking girl on the screen. She's lightly dusted with snow and doesn't look quite as chipper as she usually does.]

Are you in need of any healing teachers? If so, I'd like to volunteer.

Hello, dear.

[So she looks like everyone else, then? The weather doesn't help, too. By now, Grell has moved indoors, her earmuffs off but still in her coat and scarf.]

That would be wonderful, actually! The more, the better! Is your healing skills magic based?

[Then she sneezed. The camera got a better view of the wolf ears on her head. Not quite like everyone else, it seems. It was pretty darn cold.]

Uh, yes. They are magic based. I still remember how my mentor taught me, so I can teach it to other people.

[She's seen odder creatures, for sure.]

Most participants don't use magic, but some of our healers do. Exchanging healing techniques would be of use for them to bring back to Everglade, but not so useful otherwise.

Do you know any non-magical healing?

[Like attack magic? Oh boy...]

I do, if you mean attack magic or, like, mystical shields and other. But I never had opportunities to hone them. I can still teach it, though.

[Students will probably be stronger than her at it pretty quickly.]

That's....not what I meant. [This girl...] I mean not using any sort of magic. As I've said, our participants don't use magic, so they wouldn't benefit from learning any of that. Even gathering materials to cast spells
isn't advised for those without practical knowledge.

Give me a break, it's cold out here.

[She would freeze her tail off if it wasn't furry.]

Afraid not, no. Though I did use to collect herbs for odd jobs back in the day. But I'm no apothecary.

I'll just blame brain freeze this one time. [Smirks softly.]

You could help the healers learn new techniques, but as far as assisting the participants, I'm afraid you aren't a good fit.

[As long as she can sneak in a nap or two in a actual heated room or something in return for teaching people. The snow collapsed her den.]

All right. Where do you suppose I can be of most use?

It seems, at the moment, we might not be able to use your skills. But I'll definitely keep them in mind should there be more magic users.

Self defense and first aid sound like a really good idea.

[ Shrugs, looking thoughtful ]

I mean, I know a lot of people did what they could last week - but plenty of people got hurt .... or killed ...

Maybe things will be better if more people were prepared.

[Grell just shrugs, because preparation can only do so much in a world like this.]

Preparing for anything is better than not being prepared at all. We're always being thrown curveballs, though.

It's a very unpredictable world we find ourselves in, here.

[ Sheepish smile ] And considering where I'm from, that's saying something.

Setting up those shelters, though ... Did you need a hand with that?

I'm living in Genessia City myself, but I'd be willing to travel to other cities, if somewhere's short on helping hands.

Oh? How could any place be more unpredictable than here?

[It's entirely possible, but also crazy to consider.]

Hmm...I think for the moment, things are pretty settled, but I'm sure that extra hands won't ever be turned down if you wish to volunteer, Mister...?

Exactly my point. A whole galaxy of nutty shenanigans don't really compare to this place.

[ Very crazy to consider. ]

Oh! Forgive me. I forgot we've never been introduced.

My name's Takumi Terasu - what's yours?

A galaxy, hmm? I'm sure it must be giving us a run for our money.

Grell Sutcliff. Well met, Mister Terasu.

Well, until they have a whole planet's cities turn into candy, I think this place is still winning.

[ Looks a bit bashful. ]

Just Takumi's fine - I'm not anyone of importance here, Guardian Sutcliff.
