[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.

I can only imagine you'd be a superb meditation teacher, Saint Walker. [ He sounds a little wry; Gregor does not give out empty flattery. He hates receiving it, after all. ]

I'd be curious to try, since you're offering. At the least it couldn't hurt.

[ He's not sure how much of a benefit this would have, but...he certainly has been experiencing some complicated feelings lately. ]

...It sounds...helpful.

What do you do? [ He tilts his head, a bit. ]

[ Her eyes are lit up in the vid, expression hinting at just how excited(!!) she is to be talking to someone that looks like they could be an extraterrestrial. ]

I can't tell you what a relief it is to hear that someone else has some common sense about addressing the need for guidance on emotional issues.

[Oh look, it's the weird old man from the pool here again! Doc's looking a little tired from a hard day's work, but otherwise all seems to be well. He sounds cheerful enough at any rate.]

Hello again! Good to see you made it out all right.

I'll admit I've never much been one to spend time on a thing like meditation...given recent events I can see the potential benefit. I'll give it a shot if you have the patience.

Would you be willing to hold group meditation sessions?

[Now that she thinks about it, she hasn't been able to meditate in months...]

[ Kasumi doesn't quite trust herself enough to even go for an audio feed, at the moment, and so text it is. ]

That's a wonderful idea, Walks. You're going to help a lot of people.

If you need to drum up business, I can give people a reason to want to meditate.

[ Doctor, no. ]

[In spite of everything they've all been through lately, L'Arachel looks and sounds perfectly chipper.]

Oh, that sounds lovely! I'm not at all bothered by such things as tension or strain, of course, but I have always had a keen interest in spiritual pursuits!

The technique you showed me before was very helpful. I'd be glad to continue learning from you.

Thank you, Greg Vorthys. I would certainly hope to be proficient at it; I have been doing so for many years now, after all. But that is precisely the attitude I hoped to receive! While meditation requires something of an open mind, it is very rarely harmful.

Typically speaking, one engages in breathing exercise, and increased awareness of one's surroundings and one's self. It is a difficult practice to truly understand until one has attempted it. I would be more than happy to instruct you, if you are curious.

I had suspected that you may have a passing interest in meditation. You are not afflicted by any strain, though? Truly? This has been a very trying time for most among us, you must understand.

While I thank you for the offer, brother, I believe that people have their hands full enough as it is. That, and it can hardly be described as drumming up business when this is a service I provide for free. You are welcome to join me, if you wish.

[Oh, darn. He's so bad with this fiddly little keyboard, and he insists upon proper spelling and grammar... and the use of an emote here and there.]

That is my goal. If I am able to help at least one person, I would be content.

And yourself, Kasumi?

Yes, I would! It is a format in which I have held meditation sessions many times before. If there are those who are more comfortable in a group setting, I am more than happy to accommodate them.

Then please consider me a willing pupil!

It is good to see you as well! Though there are those who still feel the emotional toll of recent events, I am glad to see that there are fewer suffering from physical ailments than one may have reasonably suspected. And if there is one thing that I do not suffer any lack of, [Saint Walker adds on, a wry sort of smile on his face,] it is patience. I will be happy to have you.

Drumming up company, then! [ As for the request... ] I think I will join you, by the way, though I don't promise any results. I'd be a terrible meditator.

[He does not, of course, realize that his species is the cause of excitement, but her excitement is met with a warm smile in return, relieved to hear another concerned about the mental state of imPorts.]

It is, unfortunately, something that often falls by the wayside during times of great strife. But I am glad to hear that you agree; in times like these, it is of more importance, not less, that one's mental state is attended to, and not ignored.

Yes, certainly it has been. Many have suffered quite unduly, and it's very thoughtful of you to reach out to them so. But my spirit is sustained by divine grace, you see.

And I will be happy to have you, Fuu. How do you fare now that things have, at least temporarily, come to an end?

[Doc certainly appreciates that. He laughs.]

Thank you. It was absolutely a challenge on an emotional level, I think few would disagree, but it's nothing that can't be overcome.

And the sooner I work on leveling the head, the better. Thank you.

[ Actual space alien grandpa Saint Walker, ladies and gentlemen. ]

Me?

You know, I don't know. It was hard being away from everyone while all of it was going down, but I couldn't stay, either.

Oh, do not worry about results, or lack thereof. People seldom feel the results of meditation straight away. In fact, those who come to meditation with only a single goal in mind often have the greatest difficulties with it. We certainly have time to work on it.

Ah, so you evacuated. A wise course of action, all things considered. What powered your decision to leave?
