( to: everyone )

[catholica]

My name is Matthew Murdock and I'm wondering if anyone could help me or point me in the direction where I could help myself.

( this isn't something he really needs but he figures it'll give him an idea of both who all is here, what they can do, and who might answer a call for help from someone they think needs it. )

For those that don't know me, which is nearly everyone, I'm blind. To save you any questions, I've been that way since I was a kid, it doesn't hurt, you can see my eyes if you want, and no, I don't have a dog. Wish I had a dog, they're cute.

Anyway, when I showed up here, I came without walking cane. I've been using a branch because it's what's available but I'm hoping someone might recommend a place to either buy something similar or resources to make one.

( he doesn't need the cane, really, but it's good to have for a myriad of reasons. )

If nothing else, I can stick my hands out and go at that it that way but I'd rather not apologize for accidentally grabbing someone. Thanks in advance.

I think I can be convinced to part with it. I'm tired of getting splinters in my fingers.

Well, we would treat the wood, of course.

[of course.]

[catholica]

( of course! bad on him for even thinking otherwise. )

I think some sort of metal would probably work better. That's what I'm used to. Seems to hold up well since I do a lot of walking.

[techmaturgy]

Yes, I'm inclined to agree. I see Jayce has already invited you to the workshop--if you describe to us what you're used to using, I'm sure we can create a sufficient replacement.

What I used back home was basically a metal walking stick that was about half as tall as me that folded in three places for easy storage.

I know describing it without seeing you in person isn't perfect but just to give you an idea.

[techmaturgy]

No, I understand. Jayce loves collapsible things. We'll be able to make something similar.

[catholica]

I'd owe you both a favor and a lot of gratitude for your help.

[techmaturgy]

It's no trouble. We're happy to do it.

[catholica]

Thank you.

I'm going to meet your partner, I believe, shortly to talk to him about so I'm sure he'll pass along what I tell him.

[techmaturgy]

I'm looking forward to it.

[catholica]

Thank you, I am too.
