[Will begins with this. It's easier to collect his thoughts this way. Granted, it's a lot of information that he has to take in all at once. He'd think this was some strange and elaborate joke his mind was playing on him, but this wasn't really the tone it took with himself. He spends a lot of time sitting in front of the terminal, fingers tapping over the keys lightly before he actually starts writing.]

Hello. My name is Will Graham. I'm sorry if this is an awkward post. I don't introduce myself to others often.

[Sigh. He's not sure about that, it makes him sound like he's weird. Backspaaaace. ooc: The only text up on the network is what follows, sorry if that was confusing for anyone.]

Hello, my name is Will Graham. I was a criminal investigator and teacher before my arrival here. This world is different and I don't have an understanding of how the law system works here fully yet, so I won't be pursuing my former career here.

Instead, I will be trying to get a hand in the fish market. I'm a fisherman by hobby, but I'm open to considering it as a source of income and contribution. Though, I'm not sure how I'll go about that since we're already underwater. I also have experience as a mechanic and can work in the Metal sector if necessary.

I would like to ask who is a doctor here, particularly if there is anyone involved in neurology. I have some medical needs that require monitoring. Assistance would be greatly appreciated. I am happy to pay or trade services.

Thank you.

[He looks it over, taking in a deep breath. Yeah, that looks good. Personable enough, he imagines. He hopes, anyway. Click.]

[ There's a chance Isaac might be a little jealous you have your shit together, Will Graham. But, it is pretty quick. Though, he doesn't know how long you've been here - you do sound new, whatever that sounds like. He's not sure that when he finally gives his own introduction (which won't be awkard, thanks) if he's going to look into work. Maybe it's been too long since he's worked. Hard for Beacon Hills to employ a former fugitive. That, and like he's had the time.

But, anything that gets his mind off of what's going on back in Beacon Hills is fine with him. So, you get a little bit of attitude. ]

So, you just got here and you're already pimping yourself out for work. [ Not giving yourself any time to settle in, are you? ] Did you even take a second to think, hey, I'm somehow living in a state between life and death? Because, I'm still trying to wrap my head around that.

[Will is the farthest from having his shit together but oh my god does he try. He tries all the time.

Also teenagers what do??? psychology vomits everywhere]

I'm sorry?

I figured that connecting with the environment here, even on an economic level, would help with transitioning into other circumstances. That and my previous line of work felt like living between life and death in the first place.

We all cope differently. This is my way of taking it.

[ Well, fuck. He actually feels a little bad now. That snark escaping is really a defense mechanism, something he reveled in the year before. Changing gears isn't difficult. He knows what it's like to be thrown into different circumstances. In that case, they were more fun. At the time. Not that Derek had told him everything. He had a lot he had to discover on his own. It's probably why he now has such loyalty to Scott. ]

No. I'm sorry. That was harsh. It's smart. I don't even know what I'd do. I've only ever had one job. I dug graves. I know I don't want to do that again. You investigated crimes?

[Sigh of relief, that was... surprisingly easier than he expected. Not that he knew what to expect, really. The only teenagers he'd spoken to as of late, well... died, so.]

Get to know the city and see where you fit?

Yeah. They called me for cases that never really added up. [That's all he'll say without further probing.]

[ Isaac hasn't died. He's come close to dying. He's been stabbed like twenty times. That hurt like a bitch. ]

Right now I fit in the fire sector

[ You fit in where you live, right? ]

So, you made them add up. [ Cool. That means he's really smart. And clever. Could Isaac ever be a detective? If he got his anger in control. Maybe. ] So, do you live in the water sector or the metal sector? Or, neither and you're throwing us off the trail?

[This is the part where people usually make a joke, right? Joke...]

Actually, I'm in the palace. But you can't tell anyone.

[joke...?]

OK, I won't.

[ Joke not received. So, that means he hasn't taken the three hour cart ride into his sector. Have fun with that. ]

Did you find out which sector you'll be living in?

I was kidding. I'm already in my place in the Water sector.

[Sigh, that's embarrassing. Oh well. He doesn't usually joke around with anyone in the first place.]

Oh, you were joking. Sorry. Sometimes, with text, it doesn't come across. Do gargoyles spit out water in that sector?

I should work on my wording. No gargoyles, but there are lots of fountains.

Makes sense. Fountains. Water. It's not wording. Seriously, it's not easy to joke through text. Get any bites at a job?

Yeah, I think I have something in the metal sector.

Congrats. Looks like you were onto something.

Is there anything you're good at or enjoy? Perhaps you could start there.

Not really.

[now now, this includes werewolf talents--not that will knows that but don't be so negative. you could work for the mafia.]

Nothing at all you're interested in?

[Or get a hobby, come on.]

[ he could. ]

I've been pretty preoccupied.

I won't ask what. It's not really my business.

You'll figure something out.

[Will, trying to be encouraging? well I'll be.]

It's nothing special. Don't we all?

Most try. Good luck.

Thanks. You, too. Oh. My name's Isaac. By the way.

[ if you care ]

Thank you.

If you're ever interested in fishing, I can teach you.

[~~Will, care about teenage boys? He's not a pedo thanks.~~ He cares a little. In a distant, guiding hand kind of way.]

Thanks.

[Will spends a lot of time thinking about what to say from here. Ending conversations are harder than starting them.]

By the way, don't worry about your post earlier.

Maybe we'll see each other around.

[Don't actually know what each others faces look like, but technicalities.]

Oh uh. Thanks. Yeah. Maybe.
