[ The image is that of young man with longish white hair that's been pulled back in a low ponytail. Seventeen or eighteen maybe, with a bright red mark on his face that looks somewhere between a scar and a tattoo as much as it stems from a mark that's also halfway between a star or an inverted pentagram. Garishly out of place on an otherwise pale and muted complexion and gentle face. ]

With a lot of the city shut down because of the snow, if there's anyone having trouble finding food or shelter, Sanctuary in Crenshaw will be helping whoever it can. It might not be much, but it can be a meal or warm bed for the night. [ And hope everyone likes fish, because there's a lot of that that's been salted and stockpiled. But also a lot of baked things served with some of the corruption-cleansing jams from earlier in the year.

Which, anyone who already volunteers there... you can bet you were already cheerfully accosted and asked to help, soup kitchen style. ♥ It's a team effort. ✧ Either that or clearing snow; it's a big place... albeit warm itself this month, and shining like a jewel from the lunar lighting and heating within. The renovated Moon Presence monastery seems to be taking the blindingly bright bone moon and reflecting it back in a gentler manner for anyone inside. ]

There isn't a cost. Just try to help out however you can when you're able.

[ He pauses, about to leave it at that but hesitating. Expression still neutrally polite and composed, but... flickering for a moment. ]

...if anyone would like to help closer to when Christmas would normally be, it'd be nice to do something special for the orphanage as well. Maybe donate some presents for them. 

[ That's it. He'll just quietly leave it at that. ]

Yeah, good call. I don't mind goin' around and checkin' on people. You got anybody in mind you're worried about?

[likethelight]

[ He gives a light shake of his head. ]

Mm, no one in particular no. When I patrol I generally have routes I stick to and people I'll check in on, though. It's people like that I was thinking of. Anyone we might know from our day to day routines.

[ But then, Allen is a bit odd in that his sort of patrols are as much about the people of Trench and connecting with them and interacting with them and finding small ways to help their corruption or hear about others they might know who were in danger of or who might have become a beast. Not just patrolling and looking for something to purify or kill. It's that sort of mentality that even led to Sanctuary happening; without it, it likely wouldn't have. ]

Not people like us. Not Sleepers... we can still talk like this. [ He taps the side of his head. ]

It's harder for those who are native and might be more alone.

[hearuthinking]

Hm. I can try to keep my ear out for anyone who might need that sort of help.

[He wouldn't claim to be as good at reaching out the way Allen does, but he can make an attempt]
