[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.]

Lot of former law enforcement here. Where you from?

[seetoomuch_dontseeenough]

Virginia. The scenic area.

[Yeah sorry Will, Hannibal's not talking to you in text.]

Hello, Will.

video - private

[seetoomuch_dontseeenough]

[He was not expecting to see Hannibal here save maybe in his dreams, so he's nervous, caught off guard. He thought maybe he'd gotten away from what he'd been condemned to, but he was here and so that meant he wasn't all clear at all.

He considered responding with text, hiding behind the facelessness, but Hannibal knew him-- too well, even--, and so there really was nothing to hide.]

Good evening, Dr. Lecter. I didn't think that I would see you here.

[bonvivant]

I've been here for almost two months. [Meaning: I have connections already.]

So, if you need any help with anything, just let me know. Ah, and Abigail is here as well, although she is unaware of...recent events. [And it would be such a shame to have to tell her, wouldn't it?]

Will! [Look who is happy to see you.]

[And now suddenly concerned.]

What's wrong with your head? [He clearly hasn't tried to kill her, yet. Or eat her ear.]

[His face lights up into a ridiculous grin, the sense of relief seeing her alive conflicting with his overwhelming sense of guilt that causes his eyes to tear up. Yeah, after this one and Hannibal, everyone's getting a text response.

it wasn't like he did it on purpose]

It's good to see you, Abigail.

I could say it's nothing important, but it's not. Are you familiar with autoimmune encephalitis?

[y'know because the doctors had the decency to explain it to him after his treatment and before they moved him to a max security cell.]

[Catty rejects your text because she's lazy!!] We're not always under water! This is a pretty recent development, actually.

I'm Catty, by the way.

[Will rejects your video because he's still in his prison clothes and doesn't have any glasses yet.]

That's good to hear, I think. Forgive me for not using video. I'm not really presentable.

[interpret that as you will. ;)]

text forever?

[angermanaging]

When we're not underwater there's an active fishing business. Pretty sure.

Seconding the mention of Soranik for a doctor. If you get really desperate, I'm not in neurology but I've been known to dabble in medicine.

yes, blame his castmates

[seetoomuch_dontseeenough]

I look foward to it.

Thank you. I appreciate the offer, though I do hope my condition doesn't come to desperation.

[ 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.

[seetoomuch_dontseeenough]

[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.

[manofiron]

What kind of mechanic?

they probably don't run on diesel here, Will, but six of one

[seetoomuch_dontseeenough]

Boats and land vehicles. Diesel engines mostly.

Hi, Will. I'm Julie. Welcome to the Turtle. What did you teach?

[She really wants to point out that it seems like a lot of people come from very different worlds but one thing at a time. Plus, Will seems impressively intelligent. He'll figure that out sooner than later.]

[seetoomuch_dontseeenough]

[Baby steps. Being on a giant turtle is weird enough, excluding the whole between states thing, which he's taking his time with.]

Thank you. My field was criminal psychology.

( while reading isn't a problem for soranik thanks to the ring, responding in kind is near impossible. so will gets a video feed of a red skinned woman with purple eyes and pointed ears - very much not human. )

Doctor Soranik Natu, neurosurgeon. ( she's actually excited at the prospect of doing something in her field of study rather than the general medicine she's been practicing since arriving on the turtle, but it doesn't show - her expression serious. ) And I do not require compensation for whatever you need - especially from a new arrival like yourself.

video because he should have recovered from castmate stress by now

[seetoomuch_dontseeenough]

[not as strange as the kedan, Will. not as strange as the kedan. Deep breath and release. He clicks on the video, and there he is, a little sweaty, stubbly, and eyes somewhat red still. His voice is shaky, maybe a little coarse.]

It's nice to meet you. I appreciate the generosity, and if you ever need anything that I can offer, don't hesitate to ask. I was treated recently before my arrival here, but my condition does need to be monitored so it doesn't flare up again.

[He keeps his eyes cast more down, even if it's not face to face contact.]

[elevenoutoften]

Mechanic? What's your area?

Oh and also hello! Sorry, forgot that part. I do sometimes when other things are more interesting.

[seetoomuch_dontseeenough]

[Well it's certainly not TARDISes. That's not his area.

Will laughs a little at that response before typing his own.]

Boats and cars. I specialize in engines, though I've done work beyond that. It's important to know all the pieces in the whole.

How's the job hunt going man?

[seetoomuch_dontseeenough]

My best luck is in the Metal sector for now.
