[Well, Asbel has managed to pull himself together. And he's finally figured out that setting the tablet down on a flat surface before he starts recording is a pretty good idea. Despite young face and unruly hair, he seems determined, and the brief smile he offers is kind.]
Hey, everyone.
I'm sure some of you know this already, but a good friend of mine, Cheria Barnes, recently left us. While she was here, she ran a relief organization, and I really feel like we should keep it going. Possibly now more than ever.
Its purpose is to help people during and in the aftermath of difficult situations and to get them what they need, whether it be medical attention, food, a place to stay...maybe a listening ear, or a shoulder to cry on, or skills so they can go out and do the same for others.
There aren't any requirements to be a part of this. You don't have to be a medic or a fighter or have super powers of any kind. As long as you want to help out, we'll gladly welcome you. And if there's something you'd like to learn, then we'll make every effort to teach you how.
We could definitely use more help, though, as well as some people who'd be willing to help manage things and keep them running smoothly. If you're interested in getting involved in any way, come talk to us about it. And if you aren't comfortable discussing things over the network or in front of a group, you're more than welcome to contact me directly or see me in person. My name's Asbel Lhant.
Thanks.
((OOC: If interested, please sign up here just so I can have an idea of who all is/was/still is involved. The relief organization runs on a volunteer basis, so how much or how little you wish to invest in it is totally up to you! Thanks!))

And uh... close. The Mekakushi-da-- it's okay. It's a name in my language so it's probably hard for people who don't speak it. Anyway, you've got the gist of it. The leader's name is Kido, so I can send her the word if you want.

She's the person who put together the group meeting earlier this month, right?
[He considers.] I was speaking with someone from the clinic yesterday about possibly collaborating our efforts. If you guys wanted to, I think something similar might work here as well? That way we could spread our resources and help one another out.

But yeah, Kido's the one who put it together. She's pretty reliable on that sort of thing.
How do you plan to collaborate with them?

[A nod.] I wouldn't mind talking to her about it. Maybe she'd have some ideas?
And well, with the way things are around here, it's hard to prepare in advance. I just thought, depending on circumstances, we could point people in the right direction, or work together if a situation comes up which requires extra hands or backs. The relief organization's purpose is pretty broad, so it may be that we'll need another group's expertise. Or maybe some of our volunteers will be able to help them out with something outside their usual zone?

[He pauses, then moves on to the more important topic.]
If you're collecting people with various skills and connections, even being an organization for the purpose of communication alone would be useful. We've got a lot of people here and we need more communication between everybody anyway, because there hasn't been an elected leader and a lot of the people who worked for the police force before have been quiet.

[He probably believed it sounded cool at the time. A name a masked hero and defender of justice might take on. Hubert's fantasy and adventure stories were the only ones he could ever bring himself to have real interest in. That and books about knights.]
[Asbel listens thoughtfully.] Coordinating among all the different organizations, you mean? I'll admit, it's pretty difficult to keep track of who's doing what, not to mention which groups people are involved with.

[After all, having a "big picture" would definitely help. There's a ton of things going on, and staying on top of them all is nearly impossible as it is.]
