So! Comrades! There's a flood coming! Or-- maybe there's a flood already here. Maybe. I mean, if I'd just woken up and looked in the mirror and I had an extra four eyes or something then-- then at least we'd know.
[He takes a deep breath, and perks up, then looks directly at the Camera and grins widely.]
Brothers, Sisters, Comrades and Consumers, I am very pleased to announce that I am as of yet unaffected by any of the incoming flood waters!
[His grin remains fixed, but his eyes soften slightly, possibly with a hint of concern creeping into them.]
So... so how about everyone else? Are you all... I mean, even people who, maybe-- who maybe I don't talk to so often, or who don't talk to me so often anymore...
[And now the smile goes entirely, and he's just staring into the camera, his expression openly concerned.]
...Are you all right?
