[ It's been a while since Hades was in full view on video. The old concert hall is looking less like a concert hall, and more like a refuge center. Nico's been doing a lot since Magnus left and Persephone had left the place to him. ]

Okay, is this thing on?

[ He looks at the camera, dark circles under his eyes more noticeable than normal. ]

Great. So I'm looking for volunteers. We've... I've made sure Hades continues to be a homeless youth shelter and-- [ There's a pause. ] I don't really know what I'm doing or how else to get the word out. We have money to keep the lights on and the place running but I'm not sure what sort of resources I need to get them help.

[ Them being the few kids who are already here but not featured on the video. Mostly native kids right now, but it's clear that someone lives there from the beds and personal belongings behind Nico. ]

Any advice?

Uhhh... that's a good question.

[ He shuts off the video for a moment as he rummages around to find out. After a moment it comes back on. ]

Not great. I want to get an actual kitchen down here so no one has to live on microwaved food. We have a garden with some cool lighting to simulate the sun but it's pretty much brand new so no crops yet.

[ He's the son of Hades not the son of Persephone, sorry fam. ]

["Microwaved"? He squints again at that, frowning slightly. He'll have to look that up later. But he gets the idea.]

Yeah, a kitchen'll let you feed a lot of people. Until then...maybe ask at local churches, some of them'll hand out food or water. Or know where you could get it. [Hmmm, what else...] If you've got the money to get stuff yourself, focus on things that'll keep first.

I'm not the best at talking to a church.

Any tips?

I'm not sure how it works here yet... [He tilts his head back.]

The kids staying with you might already know which ones to go to. As for how to talk to them - [He shrugs.] Just explain what you're doing. If they're worthwhile they should get it.

Thanks.

I'll give that a try. If they don't know any where, well... I guess I'll reach out again.

Looks like there are a lot of people interested in helping, at least.
