[ There is a singular purpose behind posting this message: offering help with the current situation, and in doing so, finding out who can fight and who needs protection.
The video starts with a shot of a woman dressed in armor, with a sword at her side. She appears comfortable in said armor, as well as being very comfortable with her weapon of choice. She purposefully picked a neutral place with nothing remarkable in the background for this first message to the network at large.
Depending on the reception it garners, she may very well be making more. ]
Hello.
[ It's only an introductory statement, but she's just getting started. ]
Something is very wrong here, from the curfew to the feeling that the streets are not safe. And there are the ice statues to consider.
I have also heard talk about the Unseen and the threat they represent. I don't know what I can do against them, but there must be something that can still be done.
What has been done before? Surely all options have not been exhausted.
[ She pauses for a moment to clear her throat. ]
And even if it turns out that there is nothing, if there is anything that I can do, even if it is as simple as providing any one of you with an extra set of eyes- I am prepared to make that offer.
[ Never mind that she's barely gotten settled and that she hardly knows anyone. These seem like dangerous times, however, and she knows she can't remain idle. ]

There's quite a few details regarding it that might be easier to discuss in person. There are four of us that remember parts of that reality.
You work at the Louvre?
[He can't help laughing over the comment about anything he wants to know. Gansey's curiosity can insatiable.]
You might regret that offer. My mentor used to say he thought I would never run out of questions.
[Malory had rarely minded. He'd encouraged Gansey's curiosity and drive to learn.]
I would never expect you to take up that role with me. That Gansey knew you from childhood. You - or that version of you - helped him through a traumatic time and his grief. I would appreciate being friends, if you don't find this too strange.

[ She smiles a small smile. ]
I would never begrudge someone's curiosity. There are far worse things in the world. And I would never hope to claim that role because it would feel too much like overstepping, but we can certainly be friends. Would you like to meet for coffee? If there is coffee in this place.

[He gives her a smile that the world rarely sees, nervous and hopeful, one that a politician's son is never supposed to allow out in public.]
I miss talking to someone who understands the scholarly side of the world. I had a mentor back home who helped me in my search. We used to talk about history and art and magic. He didn't think it was strange that a teenager wanted to know so much. I'd like having another friend like that again.
[Assuming that Diana wouldn't think it was odd that a ten year old had started a quest that ended up lasting eight years.]

[ She enjoys it for the taste more than anything else, because the caffeine buzz isn't exactly necessary for her, but it also does open the door for social connections too. ]
Your mentor sounds like a very nice person. I'm sure you miss him, but while we are both here, as long as you'd like to, I would like to talk with you about history, art, and magic. Friendships have been formed on far less.
[ Meaning she already considers this a budding friendship, for whatever that's worth. ]
