[Matt has his sunglasses on, so that it's not immediately noticeable that he's not looking directly at the camera. The angle is also a little off. Slightly crooked. But his smile is warm and friendly]

Hello, everyone. My name is Matthew Murdock. I've been here for a few weeks now, so I thought I'd finally make an introduction. I think most of my posts are going to be audio from here on out, but I wanted to at least try one video post. So you can put a name to a face, I guess.

I uh, I was a lawyer, at home. And I'm a social service worker, here. I look forward to meeting more of you.

I guess they really are willing to let anyone in these days.

[ Jess says it with a smirk, knowing full well he can hear it in her voice. She also doesn't need to check in since she is already in the know about him being here but she couldn't resist. ]

[thatmurdockboy]

I mean, if they're letting in riffraff like me... [He trails off with a smile and a quiet laugh.]

I haven't camped out at your bar yet. I need to do that.

[walkingshitshow]

Well, they did let me in first. [ She smirks a bit before continuing with a nod. ]

But yeah, you should stop by later after you meet some people. I'll be here for a little while yet.

[thatmurdockboy]

I've been taking walks around the town. Trying to familiarize myself with the layout. It only took me twenty five or so years to learn Hell's Kitchen and other parts of New York as well as I do. I'm sure I'll have this place memorized in no time.

[walkingshitshow]

So I probably shouldn't remind you that we have a chance of getting moved somewhere else?

[thatmurdockboy]

Damn, that's right. By the time I learn this layout, we'll probably have moved.

[walkingshitshow]

I think some of it will stay the same if that helps. Just try not to go past the walls like I told you before.

[ why does he feel like that name rings a bell? ]

Well you certainly sound a lot nicer than Holly, at least.

This might seem an odd question but what exactly is a social worker?

[thatmurdockboy]

Ah, yes. All manner of dangerous beasties out there. I'll stay away from the walls.

[thatmurdockboy]

Is Holly another social worker, or...?

[thatmurdockboy]

Well here, it means I help place children and teens with their guardians. Then I check in on them to make sure they're settling in well, that they're behaving. That their guardians are taking proper care of them.

[babyavenger]

Yeah, she’s my social worker or was? Idk man she doesn’t really call or anything since I was rehoused or whatever.

I mean I already don’t usually like social workers on principle but like. She did not help the stereotype.

[thatmurdockboy]

That... doesn't seem right. Or very responsible. We're meant to do regular checks to make sure you're doing all right. At the very least a phone call, but preferably an in-person check.

[troublefindsme]

[ wow. That would have been nice to have in the wizarding world. ]

Oh, I didn’t realize there was a thing like that here. I guess it only makes sense.

[babyavenger]

Eh, I’m from Queens so I don’t take it personally. I get that she’s probably just busy and hasn’t had the chance to call but like, she could at least pretend she wants to talk to me when she does.

Or maybe she’s just scared of Mr Loki, I don’t know.

[ Based on the sunglasses and the way his gaze is not focused on the camera, Malcolm can tell that the man is blind. Even though Matt can't see him, Malcolm still makes a video in return. His tone of voice is friendly. ]

Hey. I'm Malcolm Bright. What kind of law did you practice?

( his name sounds familiar, but she can't quite place his face... )

Looks like that makes two of us marked for social work here.

( and if for some reason he doesn't know her face either, )

I'm Natasha.

[There's hesitation that Matt may hear in the voice, even through the helmet.]

You're here.

[This Matt may not know who Mysterio is, but Beck certainly recognizes him, and he sounds nervous.]

[walkingshitshow]

Thank you.

How are you settling in, by the way?

[thatmurdockboy]

Oh yeah? I'm from Hell's Kitchen. Always nice to meet a fellow New Yorker.

[The name strikes a chord, and Matt frowns a little.] Is that just... his name? That he happens to have in common with the Loki who was responsible for The Incident in New York? Just an unfortunate coincidence, or...?

[thatmurdockboy]

Well I guess this place wants to make sure the kids are being taken care of. Or I would assume, since being a social worker is an option here.

Have you been placed with someone?

[thatmurdockboy]

Sherlock and Freud, interesting combination. I was a Defense Attorney, for a very small private practice. And by small I mean me and my friend from law school. Though these days it's just me. Or was, before I came here.

[thatmurdockboy]

Natasha, very nice to meet you. I look forward to working with you. Can I ask, what brought you into social work?

[thatmurdockboy]

That... does seem to be the case. [He can pick up on the nervousness, the hesitation. But the voice isn't ringing any bells.]

I'm sorry, have we met before? I don't think I recognize you.
