[Well, it certainly seems Speedwagon has figured out the video medium: he's posed himself very seriously, with a straight posture and both hands folded neatly in his lap. There is, however, a small, polite smile on his face, though this may be more formality than anything else. He is, of course, eternally a gentleman, no matter the circumstances.

It does not take a particularly observant eye to note that the man is in mourner's black.]

Hello! It is I, Robert E. O. Speedwagon.

[The smile widens into something more genuine, just for a moment.]

I'm curious if anyone in this city has any idea as to the state of...well...hm. I wish to phrase this delicately, but I would like to know if there's a program in place to...well, help people? Where people need helping, you know--Nightmares, Shadows...et cetera. Particularly children? I--I don't know, I was just wondering if there was any present system to care for people in unfortunate situations. Thank you.

[And he remains smiling for a few moments more, before lurching forward to grab the device.]

Speedwagon out.

That wouldn't be too hard to organize. The problem would be getting a location large enough. That, and something well protected.

[He thinks of what Giorno has told him of Italy's problems, and adds:]

A guaranteed hot meal wouldn't be such a bad idea either.

[roberteo]

Yes, I'd have to actually look into arrangements, but I've been keeping those factors in mind. I'm just going off of what I...what I know that children need, in these kinds of situations.

[Which definitely doesn't draw off of personal experiences.]

The hot meal is a fantastic idea, though! I simply can't cook.

[fivenareff]

Ah, it's not particularly difficult. Something like a stew is easy to make in large quantities, too, which I suspect we'll need.

[Not that he has any idea how many kids are in Nightmare or Shadow, but he can guess.]

If you'd like, I'll show you. It might be easier to plan this kind of thing in person.

[roberteo]

That would be absolutely splendid, sir! That seems like an excellent idea; I'm hardly used to these blasted devices.

[Finally, he looks genuinely excited: here is the chance for him to do something entirely physical with his time, because while planning is all well and good, he prefers face-to-face discussion.]

Oh! Speaking of, I don't believe I caught your name?
