[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.

Likewise. Where're you from?

[on the off chance that steve knows it, ha.]

[trustinthedevil]

I'm from New York. Nothing all that special.

[it's really a shame that matt can't see the way steve's face lights up at that.]

You're being modest. I'm from Brooklyn, it's pretty special.

[trustinthedevil]

Brooklyn, huh? I'm a Manhattan guy myself.

[starspangled]

I feel more at home already. What did you do back there?

[trustinthedevil]

I was a lawyer. Again, nothing all that special.

[starspangled]

I promise I won't hassle you for free legal advice.
