[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.]

( 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.

[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.]

And you, Graham. ( It's an attempt at formality, and Soranik likes formality even if it makes her sound detached or unwelcoming. ) We can meet in person to discuss anything you feel is confidential or I can encrypt this conversation so only the two of us can access it.

In person would be more comfortable for me, I think. [Nothing necessarily wrong with detached. Will tries to do that sometimes.

hint: he fails at it pretty much most of the time. Also if there's a chance that someone out there could hack the message, then yeah, no thanks.]

Of course. My clinic is in the process of moving, but my suite is large enough that it should not be a problem. ( after all, soranik doesn't need medical equipment when she's got her ring. ) 3B-EA, at your convenience.
