[Hello, imPorts! Today, when Saint Walker takes to the network, there is a certain solemnity to his perpetually cheerful features, though that in no way overrides the pleasantness in his voice. It is out of acknowledgment of their current predicament; nothing more.]

Good afternoon. To say that the past few months have been trying would, I think, be something of an understatement. I am unable to make any grandiose statements that alleviate this tension, nor am I able to offer any suggestions on what one may do on the macro scale. What I would like to offer, however, is my personal help to any of you who may be feeling the strain of these trying times.

Where I am from, I often guided those in need of assistance in sorting out complicated feelings, and guided others in the art of meditation. Whether one is facing great problems or small - and I assure you, I have provided my help to people who fit both of these categories - meditation can help with that, whether it is to assist in bringing about even temporary inner peace and calm, or bringing clarity to matters that need addressing.

If you require another to speak to, or wish to learn more of meditation, please contact me - privately or otherwise.

[He inclines his head towards the camera.]

Thank you for your time, and may you all find your own sense of peace.

No, I shouldn't think so. Meditation is a practice that I will make an effort to be accessible to anyone, no matter their bodily structure or whether or not they are organic life. It simply means that we will use slightly different methods to finding some semblance of inner peace.

[bonely]

...I see.

[ Inner peace...that sounds nice. ] ...I would like to learn. Especially after...everything that's happened.

You are nice for offering to do this for people.

[burnseternal]

It is simply what I do. I am grateful for the opportunity to help, in whatever ways that I am able to do so. We will have to work together to discover the form of meditation that is correct for you, but I am certain that we will be able to forge this new path together.

What is your name, brother?

[bonely]

I will cooperate. [ He wants to do this, being helpful in what small ways he can. ]

...My name is Skullman.

Do you call everyone brother..? [ It's a strange feeling, being called that again, but...he doesn't mind it. It makes him happy, in a small way. ] Why is that?

[burnseternal]

It is good to meet you, Skullman. I am Saint Walker. And yes, I do call most brother or sister, though I do, of course, cease to do so if they are uncomfortable with it. I call you that because in some small way, we are all connected -- we are all family. It is an acknowledgment of that fact.

[bonely]

Saint Walker. I'll remember... [ He listens carefully to that reasoning, and nods, after a moment. ]

...Family is nice. There was...a time I thought I didn't have any, but I was wrong.

[ He sounds... a little happy, to be proven wrong. ] 'Saint'...is that a name, or a title given to you?

[burnseternal]

I am glad that you did find family. There is little that can be treasured more than such connections.

Saint is a title -- and a title that I do not demand others use. Many from this world are uncomfortable addressing me as such. It was given to me by my people, however, so I will continue using it for the rest of my days.

[bonely]

...Yes.

The names others give to you are important. Even if they are also titles.

Saint...the title of a religious figure. But you are not human...why does it bother people to call you a saint?

[burnseternal]

It bothers them because to them, the title of 'Saint' is a sacrosanct thing, and one that I have not done enough to deserve. I can understand their perspective; I have not martyred myself for any cause, nor have I performed miracles.

It is my title whether people call me by it or not. I do not mind it when others refuse to call me by such a thing.
