[ Arya has gotten much better at using the camera on this thing since she arrived, and she's able to keep the camera focused on herself this time without much effort. Which is good, because she knows she needs to be taken seriously if this is going to work.
Arya is standing in the charred remains of what looks like was once a kitchen. The setting is on purpose -- it's a reminder to what happened, and what needs to be done because of it. ]
Hello, Hadriel.
You all know what happened last month. You know how the food was contaminated, and you saw the sickness that took many of us, and caused the sick to feed upon the healthy whether they liked it or not. This happened because we are too dependent on food from beings we do not see and do not fully understand.
[ She says, firmly. ]
We cannot afford to rely on the gods like we are children, and they are parents. There is enough of us here to survive on our own, all of us, if we work for it. We share one thing: whatever each person may think about this place, none of us were brought here willingly. That, I think, is enough to trust one another if not work together.
There are other ways to get food. There is a man named Newt here who knows how to grow it, and if that is your interest or specialty, it may be a good idea to talk to him. I can hunt, and I think there are a few more of us here who can as well. There is certainly enough of us to find food for everyone. Monsters can be meat, and more and more monsters are brought in every month. We need not go hungry, and we need not be helpless.
[ Arya swallows. Off-camera, she's digging her nails into her palms, not wanting to say her last piece, but knowing she can't keep hiding it forever. There's a brief pause before she gathers herself enough to continue. ]
My name is Arya Stark. If you would like to contact me. If you are interested in hunting, in learning, in teaching others, or even simply becoming independent as a city.

Good. We need you.
[ Arya gives Z an uncertain little smile. ]
And I think your attitude might keep some of us from going crazy, maybe.

[They'll all do better if they all help each other.
At the rest, Z's smile widens a little, with a soft chuckle.] Hey, if that's the only thing I'm able to contribute, I'm happy.
This is a great idea, by the way. You're right. It'll probably go better for us if we take care of ourselves and watch out for each other.

[ Large crowds of people means Arya can't watch everyone, can't make sure that no one has a dagger in their sleeves that they could press against her throat. It makes her a little nervous, but Arya knows this is for the greater good. ]
This city... [ Arya pauses, searching for the right words ] it could be a good place, if we made it into one.
[ It could even be a home. ]
video
[And maybe some form of cheer will come up from that, from becoming a community. Maybe they'll even be able to find a way to where each of them has come from.]
I think so too. So, whatever you need, count me in. I'll do what I can. [She smiles again, and gives a firm nod. She means that. It's kind of her thing, helping people.]
