[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.

Sadly, I assumed as much--though I was hoping a traveler preceding myself might have organized a system. A foolish dream, perhaps, but I still wanted to believe!

[He smiles, but it hardly reaches his eyes.]

I...no, nothing specific, why do you ask?

You're dressed very...solemnly.

[She suddenly remembers the differences in worlds and adds:]

From where I'm standing, that is! Is it normal in your home world? I'm sorry for assuming, I'm not used to all of this yet.
