[The video starts up on a new face, someone who's apparently found her apartment and original clothes and everything. She is very orange. She has also propped the phone up somehow and spread out across the table are a whole bunch of pamphlets -- pretty much every pamphlet it's possible to get when first arriving to this world -- and a notepad which, due to angle and distance, it's possible to see some writing in it but not to make out what it actually says.]

Allll right, everything seems to be working... Hello everybody!

[That smile is very wide and almost tangibly nervous. She bounces on her feet; a pen is in one hand even as she gestures them a lot as she talks.]

It is great to meet all of you, I am super excited to get to know more people who've been brought into all of this... From what I've seen, we have the responsibility of helping save this world, but we're also responsible for leading our own lives like normal people, needing places to stay, money, jobs...

[She picks up her notepad, eyes darting over what she's already written.]

It sounds like there are a lot of benefits to joining one of these Guilds, but I'd love to hear from anyone who actually has experience with them, good or bad... Or experience with other jobs or ways to help! And if someone happens to have any more questions, who or what is the best source of information in this city? After all, it's always safer to know what to expect.

--Oh! I almost forgot. I'm Anxiety!

[She sure is.]

Do you find that some of the things you worry over, don't happen? Or do you choose them more carefully so that they do? [ Walker smiles at his screen, because her sentiment is very sweet. ] Thank you. If I must, I will, but I prefer to talk and to listen. I find that many problems can be resolved before real danger.

That is so, yes. It draws on my belief that all things will be well. And I will never stop hoping.

Much as it sounds that you believe in Riley's potential. I'm glad to hear she has someone like you to think of her best interests.

[ He lets the stress emerge without censure, watching with a kind of empathetic curiosity. ] I think you would do your best, no matter how much time was given. But the suffering caused by uncertainty amounts to the same thing. We cannot see enough of the future to completely remove uncertainty.
