[The young man that appears on the video looks extremely nervous and uncomfortable.]

Listen, with everything going on lately I haven't been able to...

[He sighs, starts over. He hates this. Asking for help is so hard, but he isn't the only one at risk if here.]

I noticed a while back that the more Chroma I have the easier it is to deal with... well... A particular situation that I have at hand. [Oh man, that terrible pun wasn't on purpose and he looks even more uncomfortable realizing that he did it.]

But I'm not very good at collecting Chroma. I have someone back home and I don't want to betray her. I was thinking, though, that for the brief time she was here she was pretty clear that she didn't want me to suffer.

I don't want to either, I guess. [That part is up for debate.]

This is me asking for people willing to help me out.

[He looks frustrated at the whole idea as soon as he says it.]

You know what, nevermind. This is stupid.

The thing that annoys me is that innocent people get dragged into it too.

[satanslash]

I'unno if I count as "innocent", but yeah these things kinda... don't care what sorta people they pull, do they?

[hero_of_her]

They really don't. Not just us though. The people who live in the city didn't ask for any of this either. They're just trying to live their lives.

[satanslash]

... geez. Shit. Yeah, I didn't think about it like that. I got so used to it just bein'... us. The people who got dragged there. There wasn't anyone else.

[A pause, then.]

God, that's fucked up.

[hero_of_her]

I want to do what I can to help them. All of them. And all of us.

[satanslash]

I want to, but... I'unno how. Back in the village, I helped keep people fed with what little we had, but here that kinda stuff is given to us.

[hero_of_her]

Maybe people need other services then? If not food then...

Well, Chroma. Which kind of brings us back to the point of my post.

[satanslash]

Yeah. I'unno. I'm still tryin' to figure that part out.

[It'll take him ages, though. He is not a smart boy.]

[hero_of_her]

I know. It's really difficult to find your footing here.

[satanslash]

I didn't show up in the best shape, either. I had to spend a lotta time recoverin'.

[hero_of_her]

You were hurt??

[satanslash]

Not... exactly? We couldn't get food easily there. There were times I'd go a coupl'a days in between eatin', especially towards the end.

[hero_of_her]

That's terrible.

You can eat here now though. I'd even offer to make you dinner sometime if you need it.

[satanslash]

Eheh, don't worry, I can do that myself. I'm an awesome chef.

[hero_of_her]

Yeah? That's good! I really enjoy cooking too.

[satanslash]

Yeah? What's your favorite?
