#1 video; @waltz
[The video starts with a tall, bearded man wearing a tailored suit sitting on the edge of a very executive looking desk in an equally executive looking office.
He smiles before speaking in a low, steady voice, his arms by his sides. Purposely left uncrossed. No fidgeting. He's comfortable in front of a camera, but not without practice.]
To be forcibly removed from our homes, support networks, and everything we’ve ever known is no small matter. For some, the experience can be traumatic. You may struggle with day to day life, or find yourself feeling unsafe in your new home. Holding down a job or making connections with other people can feel difficult, or even impossible, when you're uncertain of your environment and place within it. Everyone copes differently.
Very few of us asked to be here, and it's necessary the city is prepared to deal with the very real problems experienced by its displaced citizens, and accommodate their needs as efficiently and empathetically as possible in order to create and maintain a happy, healthy society. My name is Cameron Waltz, I'm a negotiator and cultural mediator from Earth, and I've been appointed the role of public representative to present our needs to the city council, and ensure our voices are being heard.
I'm looking for feedback on how your life has changed for the better or the worse since your arrival. I'll start with a few questions, none of which you have to answer, but would be very helpful in solidifying the case I'm building.
Please answer as honestly as you're comfortable. Anonymous commentary is allowed on this post, and you're welcome to be as vague or as specific as you'd like, without fear of discrimination.
I greatly appreciate any and all responses. With your help, we can find the holes in the existing social services system and work together to close them.
Thank you for your time.

-Have you felt adequately supported by the city, and its representatives?
-Do you struggle mentally or emotionally with your expatriation on a day to day basis?
-Are there aspects of life in Riverview you find more difficult than others?
-If you’re a minor, or know a minor, have you found the social services offered adequate?
-Are you satisfied or dissatisfied in the career provided for you? Do you find yourself changing jobs often?
-Do you struggle to make ends meet?
-If there's any one thing the city could do to improve your life, what would it be?

So I guess that means we should make the most of it while we're here! Try at least one new thing a week. No excuses.

[Cam smiles, brightening.]
It's fun to experience new things, but it's always more fun to share that experience with someone else.
Hope you don't have any phobias.

That's what's going through his head right now at Cam's smile. Jeff's brightening, grinning in return, and uh, OH SO CASUALLY TURNING HIMSELF AND THE CAMERA SO A TEENAGE MENACE CAN'T WANDER INTO THE FRAME TO MOCK HIM WITH KISSING NOISES. ]
Oh, I've got a long list of 'em. [ Kidding! Well. Sort of. ] We'll make it work.
no subject
I only have one.
no subject
Well... We'll make a point to avoid it. Unless you don't feel comfortable telling me what it is! In which case you can just veto every suggestion that comes close to it until I figure it out myself.
But that'll probably take a long time. [ So if you want to keep your phobia a secret, YOU CAN. ]

It makes him feel both comfortable, and a little shy.
He touches his hair again, finger following the line of his ear. Another habit.]
It's the dark. Being in it. Not your average dark. The kind of dark your eyes can't adjust to. Like being shut into a small room with no windows and the lights off. Pitch black.
I can manage with a flashlight, but I'd rather avoid it if possible. Equipment has a way of failing when you need it most.
