[For a first time broadcaster, Severus sounds rather relaxed. Having just arrived yesterday, one would think he would be a little more vicious - but no. He's had his tantrum. There's no sense at all in putting it in the public eye when he doesn't know who's truly responsible for his abduction.]
Isn't it fascinating, the trials societies face, and how they vary from one to the next? Why, before I was kidnapped -
[He isn't even bothering to use the more formal-sounding 'abducted' or the less accusatory 'transported', because in spite of his general easy tone, he doesn't want anyone to accidentally think he's here of his own free will. Someone is at fault, and it isn't him.]
- I was facing the culmination of a civil war. People were dying - scores of people. And yet from what I gather, the trouble here is salt.
[Perhaps he isn't being as disdainful as he sounds; there's a subtle inquiry to his tone, because though his own magic has been slow to return, it hasn't escaped his notice that the fog is causing problems.]
Perhaps I'm simply failing to appreciate the gravity of the situation, in which case I expect some of you would care to help elucidate the matter. By all means.

As you may have surmised, your situation is not unique. Have you had an opportunity to explore the city and find lodgings?
Re: [Video]
[In a rare moment of honesty and transparency, he admits:]
Lodgings would be welcome, however.

The Midnight Hotel is the most friendly to foreigners, as it's run by one. The rooms re clean and comfortable, and the prices reasonable. Mr Shudder has a number of ground rules, but provided you adhere to them, there should be little trouble.

[What he thinks about that name is right there in his tone: he repeats slowly, as though it's the most ridiculous thing he has ever heard.]
And where would I find that?
Audio
It's a quality establishment, I assure you. It has entrances in all sectors. If I may, where are you at the moment?
Audio
[As though grousing about it will somehow make someone send him home.
A pause, followed by:]
The Fire district, I believe.
Audio
I know the fire district well - if there are any ladnmarks that stand out to you, I can give you directions.
Re: Audio
How does one differentiate notable landmarks from common design elements in a strange city, exactly?
I see a fountain with fire spouting from it. Is that a landmark, or are there several of those in the area?

Audio
Yes.
[Ah, such a begrudging 'yes'!]
