You're supposed to be wary of people who offer you gifts. That's pretty much lesson number one.

_{( Actually, it's "fear Greeks bearing gifts." But given Jason's recent experiences, saying so seems disingenuous. Speaking of which, here's Jason: sitting at a console somewhere in the city, elbows up on the table and fingers steepled together. He's regarding the console carefully through bright blue eyes, skeptical but determined. )}

But it would be pretty dumb to say no to having a place to sleep, since I don't know how long I'm going to be here. I've taken a look around, and this place is really... something. I barely know where to start.

_{( His face scrunches, like he's considering something. Then he lets out a breath, offering the console a half-smile. )}

Hi, I'm Jason. It seems like there's a lot going on here, and I'd like to do what I can to help. So whatever's going on--I heard something about rationing? And someone mentioned other problems--please, let me know.

_{( He nods, with some sort of finality. He's about to end the feed, but thinks better of it, blurting out as an addendum: )}

And, guys? If you're out there, it'd be great if you could check in. ASAP.

_{( Looking slightly sheepish, he ends the communication there. )}
