this thing on?

I've been told there's this whole journal system to talk to people here. That's probably a good thing since you're all loud and my roommate is a joke. It was also 'suggested' that I introduce myself on here.

So hi. I'm Matt Murdock. What else you want to know?

EDIT: it might be a good idea if I also add that I'm blind.

Hey, new kid! They told me you're rocking the enhanced senses, and they kicked in pretty hard so you pretty much got the full on soundproofing and hepafilter and all that. Sorry about the windows, I don't have hardware for soundproof windows on site. I put in an order, once they're in, I can yank the tiles down from the window, I'll let you know.

Anyway, so I'm Kyle, and I'd be the extra tall guy with claws and weird ears and all that, and I've got the senses going on too. Yeah, everybody's loud and stinky, but you get used to it.

There are windows in my room? Don't worry about it, I don't need any windows.

You have claws and weird ears? What do you mean?

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

There used to be. Right now there's tiles and a window insert. I already ordered 'em and sometimes it's nice to open the windows, dude and i hate leaving a job unfinished, it looks like ass from the inside and outside. Besides, sun's good for you. Vitamin D and stuff.

Claws like a lion or bear or something instead of finger and toenails. Means I don't wear shoes and I make clacky noises when I walk on tile. Ears are pointy and extra big, which isn't really probably helpful to you I guess, huh. Yeah, they told me so I didn't go setting up any of the stuff for dimming lights or light-proofing a room or something. Sorry, I forgot for a sec.

Anyway, lemee know if the soundproofing's holding up and all, because you're only the second room I've setup that way, and mine's the first one.

Oh. Well. If it makes you happy?

So I'll heard you coming. Okay. It's no secret. Pretty sure the sunglasses and white cane give it away. Maybe I should have posted in my entry?

Okay. It's fine so far. I've not tried to pull it down either.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Hey, it's my job. If I did it half-assed, I'd feel like a jerk.

Unless for some crazy reason I've got shoes on, and maybe even then.

Why in the hell would you pull it down? Dude, I'm used to my senses and there are days I just go in my room and shut the door and just sit there in the quiet because JESUS CRAP the world is loud.

Really? That's different.

Even then. I hear a lot of things.

Yes. It is very loud. I don't have a migraine right now. This is the first time I've not wanted to drive an ice pick into my brain before bedtime without taking pain killers in YEARS.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

What, work ethics?

Yeah, but it'll sound different if I'm in shoes, so it's harder to tell it's me. If I've got shoes I've also got the claws trimmed down. I hate shoes, btw.

Man, I'm glad I did a good job then.

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

[Voice to text]

Yeah.

Your heartbeat is the same.

I'd still like the painkillers though. if you got any.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Sometimes. It'll depend on mood and what I'm up to, and if I'm healing back anything major and all that. That trick works on most people most of the time, but not me some of the time.

Sorry dude, I can't take anything OTC, my system doesn't do aspirin well, and I've got a healing factor, so I don't even keep it on hand. I just go downstairs and beg it off the docs if I really need it.

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

[Voice to text]

Interesting. Never met anyone like that.

Oh. Huh. crap.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

It's just people with healing factors or really weird physical mutations who come up that way, but not all of those either.

I'm sure somebody's got aspirin around here, dude. Just not me, cause I don't usually need it much.

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

[Voice to text]

Are there a lot of those here?

No problem. I'll ask around.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Couple of us, yeah. Not as many as there are people with energy powers and stuff though.

I've not met too many people yet. I've been staying in my room except for classes.
