[The camera is pretty evenly focused. The man sitting on the screen is less so - even behind his glasses it's obvious that, while he's looking at the tablet, he's not really looking at it. In fact, it's almost as if he accidentally pressed 'video' and meant instead to go for 'audio' - which is a likely scenario, honestly.

Matt will learn what to press and when over time.]

I think I've got my floor mapped out, and a little bit of the surrounding area. I'm not really sure if the 'welcome to Riverview' video shows the layout of the place. A lot of you are probably a lot more familiar with things than I am already.

[A pause as he smiles, ducking his head to laugh and shrug. He doesn't really realize that everyone can see that.]

I don't mind exploring but I'd hate to get lost a few days out of the gate. If anyone's free to show me around, it would be appreciated. I'm a quick learner once I get a feel for things. I promise I'm very independent.

[The term 'show around' is probably not the most applicable, all things considered, but it sounds better than 'lead me around so I can touch things and count steps.' In any case, the response and the offer is greatly appreciated.]

That would be great. Really. I especially need to know how to get to work, I think.

Where do you work at exactly?

[Either way, Billy doesn't mind showing him to wherever he needs to go or anything.]

I have a feeling a lot of us are still trying to get settled in around here.

[trustinthedevil]

At one of the law firms here. [As a paralegal, which is just sort of a kick in the teeth, but Matt will just suck it up.]

It's sort of nice to know everyone's just as clueless, honestly.

[noassgardian]

So you're a lawyer? [Okay, so that might have been a dumb question... Law firm after all.]

Yeah, I think everyone is still settling in and trying to figure out what to do until we get to go back.

[trustinthedevil]

I am a lawyer, yes.

That's kind of cool, I mean, especially if you can keep doing it here. Nothing like having your life turned upside down AND having to find a whole new way to support yourself, I'd imagine.
