[ There's a clearing of a throat, followed soon by a low voice, calm and steady in its nature. He's well practiced in his speech, as if he's had to make an introduction like this about a thousand times, and with his career choice, he has. ]

Hello there. My name is Matt Murdock, and while I am a new resident here, I work in the offices of Bülent & Feige. In my — [ He pauses for a brief moment. ] — previous home, I ran my own law firm at Nelson & Murdock, so I guarantee that I have the study and experience of being a well-practiced defense attorney. So if you're in a tough legal position, and you need assistance under the law, I can provide that support for you.

[ His voice remains soft as he finishes: ]

Now, there's a reason I didn't put the video on this, but ... [ He briefly switches the setting to video, a dark haired man now in view of the screen, round glasses over his eyes as he offers a warm smile. ] While I won't be able to identify you for — [ He gestures to his eyes, waving his fingers. ] Obvious reasons. If you need to find me for professional guidance, please don't hesitate.

I suppose I am, among many other things. My club showed up here via the entire building. So I've got floors to rent out to those who'd like something a little more LA modern, and a few nibbles on people taking me up on my offer. Usually Maze handles all the business aspects, but as she wasn't brought here as well, that leaves little old me, and I'm more of a verbal contract sort of chap.

[fogwells]

Hold on. Did you say your club ... showed up?

[ Taking all of that one sentence at a time. ]

[hellicious]

Apparently so, yes. The club and the whole building. My suite is the penthouse, but there's floors between the two that it seems a shame to waste by leaving empty. They've all the modern conveniences and whatever... portal chicanery brought it here has done so in a way that has it connected to the power and sewage grid, so...

[fogwells]

That sounds like very convenient relocating.

[ Maybe he just showed up too, but he wasn't an entire building. ]

So you want to draw up contracts to rent it out to new tenants?

[hellicious]

It does, doesn't it? Others have brought that up. I'm refusing to question it.

[Hey, at least he was honest about it.]

I do. Something that's written up by an outside party is likely a better idea. Might make them sleep easier.

[fogwells]

You're very accepting of impossible scenarios, are you?

[ Because he typically prefers to question it, having a prejudice towards wanting logic and reason to provide explanation. ]

I'd have to review the laws and legal requirements of this — place, to make sure we don't cross any lines, but I'd be happy to assist you.

[hellicious]

I'm the Devil. I'm usually accepting of a lot of chaotic changes.

[And here's where the fireworks would start. Don't judge him, Matt. That book was full of lies.]

Really? That would be lovely. I'm happy to make that be a permanent thing, or some... whatever... retainer? Keeping you on one? If you manage to be any good, that is. You'll have to forgive that I'm tickled over the idea of a blind lawyer.
