[ Though the video feed may be started with Daniel’s username, it seems like the man isn’t the only person visible when the message starts. Robby is right there next to him, the man with a friendly smile on his face and the boy smiling, though not as brightly. ]

Hello, everyone! As I’m sure many of you have experienced yourself, suddenly arriving in this place on the train can be more than a little disorienting. And though many people here are incredibly kind and willing to help, Robby and I thought that it would also be nice to have a place where new people can be directed to in order to get some information, a warm welcome, and some equally warm food. So we’re planning on clearing out a space somewhere near the main train station to turn it into a welcome diner of sorts.

We know people are arranging clubs and have regular meet-ups, [ speaks up Robby this time, ] so we thought they'd be a good place to advertise them. Let them know who's running clinics, who to ask about the kiosk or the city. Share what's happened here, too.

[ There's the faintest shift in Robby's tone at the mention of that, but he quickly adds: ] Oh, yeah, and we know there's been talk about how supplies are doing. The food's gonna be packaged and good to take out if people want it–if you wanna help with recipes, or help out with the idea in general, let us know.

[ Daniel is definitely smiling like a proud dad sensei the entire time he’s listening to the boy speak. Please don’t mind a man being very embarrassing, even ruffling his hair once Robby is done speaking. The highest form of humiliation a teenager can suffer. ]

Really, Robby deserves all the credit. He really does always have the best ideas. Everyone, make sure to befriend him, alright?

[ There's a very teenage huff from behind Robby, and the video feed is moving as: ] Okay, I think we're done.

[ Yes, that's Robby reaching for the phone to end the post. Freedom!!!! ]

[ You know, there's a few things to pick out there, but Robby will go for biggest question that stands out for him, with a look and tone of concern. ]

Were you hurt?

[ Was a guy just bleeding out in the train station or something--

(He really shouldn't be that surprised, considering Mister LaRusso's state when he arrived, but.) ]

[zewu_jun]

[ He looks embarrassed by the question, awkwardly looking away with a tentative smile. ]

I wasn't hurt... but I have seen those appear here in. In a poor condition.

I would not wish for them to come without any means for assistance.

[ "Injured" would have been a gross understatement of what he saw, and he worries more people are arriving at the brink of death with no warning and no medical care. ]

[strongroots]

Sure. [ That, Robby can understand, and he gives a small nod in agreement. ] I know we have a couple doctors around. I can ask one about being around when newbies show up.

[ Though, the thought of people being on standby, and how few experienced hands they have to deal with it does make Robby remark: ] It's a good thing so far this place's just wanted to mess with us than hurt us.

[zewu_jun]

[ Lan Xichen hums a note of agreement, although it's still somewhat reserved. ]

It does not seem like anyone means us physical harm. However...

[ It also doesn't seem like the city is completely benevolent. That much he's starting to accept, even if he doesn't actually want to. ]

We also don't know what experiences other people are coming here with. They might be poorly supplied, scared, and mistrusting of strangers approaching them even if we try to offer help. That's why I think if we can demonstrate our ability to help, it could help soothe some of their concerns.

[strongroots]

Yeah-- [ he isn't in disagreement, though he needs a second to think of how to reply to that. ] You just got me thinking though, if we had people getting hurt at once, we wouldn't have a lot of people to help out, you know? Doctors. I only know about two...

[ Two? Yeah, he thinks two. ]

[zewu_jun]

But there must be some of us with a bit of experience. I'm not a doctor, but I have some experience. Well, perhaps only for emergencies, but I can provide some assistance.

I think we must have people here who know something. Or we can be taught, if healers are willing to teach us.

[ If they get a bunch of wounded all at once, what would that mean? He's a little afraid of the answer. ]

Should we make a space for a clinic? At least something temporary.

[strongroots]

Uh, we could? [ He's not sure he's the best person to ask this, but. ]

How about making a post about it and we can set up a plan? Everyone, in case something does happen. I wouldn't mind learning first aid, but-- I don't know what we'd do if people got injured. 'Cept call for help.

[ He really has no experience with this. ]

[zewu_jun]

That's true. We should see if anyone else would be willing to do that.

[ There might be doctors, but do they want to be contacted for something like that? He's not sure any of them are really comfortable after being forcibly brought into the city, so who knows what the right choice would be? ]

I can offer some help. I'm not a doctor, but I can dress wounds and help feed others. Unfortunately, this city does not seem to carry the medicine I am used to.

[strongroots]

[ Hm- ] Would talking to a doctor help? I mean, I know one--she might be able to help you understand the medicines better and if they work like any you know.

Just so you feel better using them. [ Since there's reading the boxes, and then there's actually having someone around who knows what they're doing.... ]

[zewu_jun]

Yes, that would be of great assistance. I have learned enough to get by if I must, but that will not replace the skill of a true master. I wish to learn what I can and help where I am able.

[ He misses his home and the ability to study under masters, even if the likelihood was low for him. Too many responsibilities and duties already waiting for Lan Xichen to consider anything else. But in the city there is more potential. ]
