[So the fighting may be over, but that doesn't mean everything is going to be immediately fine. Finally having the time to really think about everything that's happened, and for everything to sink in, is going to make the next few days and weeks just as much of a challenge for some here as the last have been, if not more so.
But that is, hopefully, something he can help with, if at least a little. And there are new arrivals as well, who not only had to deal with the end of the invasion but also everything that goes along with suddenly finding themselves in an entirely new world, not to mention the sudden setting change too.
So he's trying to look as composed and calm as possible, which is a bit of a struggle since--like pretty much everyone else--he's exhausted and didn't get out of the whole ordeal with the Null entirely unscathed. Compared to some people he definitely fared better, but there's still a pretty obvious bruise across his cheekbone and around his eye; it's not too serious, but the main problem is that it's also not very helpful in looking as professional and put together as he's trying to appear.
Still, he's doing his best, and he lifts his chin a little and takes a deep breath before speaking.]
If anyone is injured, or just in need of somewhere safe to rest, the hot springs and the fire station are both serving as temporary locations for the clinic. Additionally, considering the seriousness and extent of everything that's happened in the last few weeks as well as the arrival of new people, it's worth reiterating that I'm a psychologist and so if anyone wants to talk, whether about recent events or otherwise, I'm available to meet.
[A short pause.]
I'm... Not exactly sure where, since my office doesn't exist anymore, and I probably should've thought about this before making this announcement...
[That would've been good planning, if he weren't so tired and scattered, but okay, refocus--]
But that can be decided on an individual basis. Additionally, if you'd like to respond privately, you can do so.
[And he includes a brief explanation of how to make a conversation private. With all of that out of the way, he'll put a filter on the post himself and add another message.]
[Private to friends and coworkers]
I hope you're all okay, and... If anyone who wants to let me know for sure that they are, that would be great.
[He's worried about everyone. :c]

Boiling water makes it safe to drink, right? There's got to be something we can do. I mean, they wouldn't just drop us somewhere with nothing to eat or drink, would they?
[His face winces at the end of that question. Maybe they would. This place sucks.]

[Maybe. He's dubious, but this whole situation is hard enough to handle without adding concerns that may or may not exist. That's also why he doesn't answer Kiran's last question with what he wants to say, which is that he wouldn't be surprised if the gods would do such a thing, even if just by thoughtlessness rather than malice.
But, instead--]
I don't know, but there are a lot of very capable people in this place. Even if all we can accomplish is getting drinking water, we have some time before the situation would become dire, and by then Hope will likely have recovered enough to begin supplying us once more. It'll work out.
[Maybe. But worrying about that is pointless, as long as they are all careful to prepare for the worst but hope for the best.]
Right now, you should focus on getting some rest and finding a place of your own; it'll be a lot easier to deal with everyone once you've slept.

Kiran takes a few steps over to an empty bed and flops down onto it, his hair jumping against his forehead.]
Yeah. You're right. [he tips the water bottle at him.] ...Thanks for the help.
no subject
[So don't take anything needlessly, but don't hesitate to get more water or something, for instance.]
And as weird as this all might seem, you'll get used to it pretty fast. It's not all bad, either.
