It . . . It looks like the town's done exactly what we all thought it would.  Everyone!  Please, if you're hurt, call me and I'll do whatever I can do to keep you safe.  My name is Lucas -- Ask for me and I'll be there as soon as I can.  Even if you're only afraid you might get hurt, I can create a shield for you if you're physically or

A shield?

[a_gentle_boy]

Psychic shields. They can keep you from being hurt or even reflect attacks back -- So if someone comes at you with a sword, they'll cut themselves just as deeply as they cut you.

[hear that? that's the sound of a light bulb flickering on]

Oh. I've used those before, too. Psychic abilities, right?

[a_gentle_boy]

Yes. I call it PSI at home, but most people think it's a type of magic of some sort.

[hispalette]

It comes from your mind, right? I think it's something deeper than magic.

Lucas, huh... I'll be sure to remember that.

[a_gentle_boy]

May I ask your name?

[hispalette]

Red. I'm not sure how useful I'd be, but if you need any help, ask. Sometimes it can be tough being alone out there.

[a_gentle_boy]

Thanks, Red. You don't have to be useful or anything . . . I'm just glad to meet as many friendly people as I can.
