[Steve's voice sounds clear and well rehearsed as he speaks into his bracelet, as if he had actually planned the speech before hand to avoid stumbling on his words. Which...he'll never admit to.]

This may sound strange, but I was wondering if anyone is at all skilled in sewing. I have something that needs patching up, but the damage is more than I'm able to fix myself. I would really appreciate it if someone would help me out. I'm willing to pay for the work, of course.

[This is a task he's been putting off, but as things move closer and closer to total warfare, he figures now is as good a time as any to have his uniform patched up.]

...If anyone has any tips on getting out blood stains, that would help a lot as well.

Alright, I'll do that. I didn't realize that was an option.

Yeah, I'm not really surprised. I should probably be more used to it than I am.

[jocularity]

To be honest, helping the natives is always an option. They're so often forgotten.

Can anyone actually be used to it?

[neversurrender]

No, I meant that I didn't realize there was an organized form of donating. [He's just been giving money to natives that looked particularly in need. He knows what it's like.]

Depends on the person. [He knows a few people who handle it as a natural part of their life.]

[jocularity]

Well, I'm trying to set one up. I hate seeing them ignored by the gods, by people round here. They live here too.

True. I'd hate to think that I'd ever be in a situation where I am 'used to it'.

[neversurrender]

I agree. I haven't been here very long so I didn't realize things were that bad for them. I'd be glad to donate whatever I can to help. Do you have a location set up yet?

[jocularity]

They are the ones who get forgotten. No, I'm planning to do that soon, once I figure the best way to help them.

[neversurrender]

Well, I don't plan on forgetting them. Great. Good luck with all of that, really.

[jocularity]

I think, given everything that is going on, I'll need that luck. But if you need help with anything just let me know.

[neversurrender]

Thank you. I'll keep that in mind. And if you need some help I'd be happy to assist however I can.

[jocularity]

And I'll bear that in mind too. In the days coming, who knows where will need help.
