( 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.

Oh, right. Totally according to plan.

[catholica]

Totally meant to do this.
It's in my five year plan.
After this, retirement.

[carmesi]

You sound like an old man.

[catholica]

Do I?
I was going for middle aged and tired but can't really argue with old.

[carmesi]

You can't be much older than me.

[catholica]

Seventy five.
Just really good with my moisturizing regime.

[carmesi]

That's not middle aged.
Take it easy, grandpa.

[catholica]

Maybe I should have asked for a walker and not a walking stick.
Gotta look the part.

[carmesi]

Might not be too late to change your request.

[catholica]

Anyone ever told you that you're very encouraging of terrible ideas?

[carmesi]

Or maybe you're just saying that to make me feel like I accomplished something.
Don't actually get a walker.

[catholica]

I have no plans to actually get a walker.
See, you have accomplished something.
The walker is out.

[carmesi]

Who are you getting a walking stick from in the end?

[catholica]

Jayce and Viktor both offered to make me something in their workshop so I think I'll stop there and take advantage of their kindness.

[carmesi]

They're a good choice.
Nice people. Especially Jayce, the more outward kind.

Tell them I say hello. Might earn you a coupon for next time.

[SHE'S JOKING ABOUT THE COUPON]

[catholica]

For when I actually need the walker, right?
A coupon for next time.
I'll do that.

[carmesi]

Exactly.
I'll see you around, Matt.

[not that matt can see, but, you know. whatever.]

Take care.
