[devilsavocado]

[ This video starts with neither of the men remotely in frame. They're both wearing dark sunglasses -- dark enough that you can't see their eyes. And they have kind of like... well, maybe not the same mannerisms, but similar enough. One tells only truths has dark brown hair, while the other tells only lies is a red head. They do not look alike. The dark haired one begins to talk: ]

Hey, everyone. So it looks like we have an office here in the city now. [ He shrugs, like that's... totally normal? ] Matt and I will be opening a new firm here, called Murdock & Murdock, in the next couple of days, for anyone who needs any kind of legal services. We'll offer things like reviewing contracts, legal counseling, conflict resolution... basically we're pretty small, but between the two of us we should have just about any practice covered.

[ He doesn't gesture much as he speaks, in fact he's pretty still. This isn't trial, after all. It's a stark comparison to the redhead. ]

Also the building is crazy weird. Our office is the only thing in it? Everything else is locked but there's [ Here, he drops his voice like he's delivering the climax of a horror story at a campfire, ] no one there. [ There's a beat, and then he laughs it off. ] Pretty cool, right? Kinda gives murder vibes, but I think that's a draw to the kids these days.

Cut it out. [ The dark-haired Matt elbows the other one lightly. ] Anyway, if you have any questions about legal counseling or need to hear our credentials or anything, feel free to let us know. Office hours are going to be a little on-and-off since it's just the two of us, but you can message either of us if you need to come by the office. We're "murdock" and "mmurdock" on the network, so you'll get one of us even if you mess up the spelling.

[ ugh fiiiiine dad. The red-haired Matt manages to roll his eyes even behind those dark shades. ]

Also, I'm just saying, that when someone is accused of a crime, it's generally a good idea to speak to a lawyer. But that's just me. Here's your first piece of free advice: if the cops (or Jerry, this is really "cops" in the metaphorical sense) ask you a question you should just shut up before you further incriminate yourself without an advocate.

Right, there's that too. [ He pauses... What else? Oh, yeah. ] This is Matt, by the way. He's also Matt. It's confusing. Don't worry about it.

((ooc: Replies will come from both Matts!! But yes, come get your legal representation, Aldrip))

Well, I'll be dad-burn! Looks like I'll be stickin' to that then.

[ although saying the full nickname in its entirety might go weary on the tongue. ]

Or how about we shorten yours to be "Hot and Spicy"? Or would you rather have the "Red" in it?

[notthekingpin]

Whichever you like. I'm flexible.

[ flexible, really. ]

[southernchere]

Hmm, well that all depends, Sugah. I see the "Hot", but what kind of spice are ya? Mild or Fire?

[ she knows she should have a more serious discussion than... this, but on the other hand, she is having a talk with the other matt that's on the solemn side. so maybe this won't look too bad. ]

[notthekingpin]

Oh, I'm as potent as a ghost pepper.

[ Humility? Haven't hear of her. ]

Sounds like you've got plenty of fire yourself.

[southernchere]

I'm a southern gal from Mississippi. When ya used to live in country back roads and lakes filled with gators, with skeeters suckin' ya dry, you gotta learn how to handle it.

The name's Rogue, Honey. Came to Aldrip just a lil' while ago.

[notthekingpin]

Cute name for a cute sounding girl. It's nice to meet you, Rogue. I've never been to Mississippi, but some people claim there's gators in the sewer.

[southernchere]

Well, well, look-y you. I bet you can charm birds outta trees, complimenting the way you do.

[ she hums a tiny giggle, then adds: ]

— That's a lil' story people say to youngins to get 'em behaving. But between you and me? I've seen lotta things in drainpipes.

[notthekingpin]

Where's the fun in birds, though?

[ Not when there's fun women!!! ]

Drainpipes seem a little small for gators. Logistically speaking.

[southernchere]

Some girls like sweet tweety birds. If they fly at us with a rose in its peak, Why, it'll make us feel like a Princess in those Disney movies.

And small gators are easy to handle, big ones too, if ya know what to do. It's been sometime since I wrestled one.

[notthekingpin]

Damn, you've wrestled gators? Now I'm really hope you'll stop by.

[southernchere]

Maybe I will. I ain't doin' much but sitting like a bump on a log.

[notthekingpin]

Better watch out. You know what they say about idle hands and the devil's work.

[southernchere]

Now that's somethin' we shouldn't talk about in public, Hot Stuff. We got youngsters around here...! We oughta mind our manners.

[notthekingpin]

Oh, yes, right, of course. We wouldn't want to make the kids blush.

[southernchere]

But I'm hopin' tall, dark, and handsome won't mind me stoppin' by sometime, too. Even though I ain't much of a case, sides wanting to find my teammates.

[devilsavocado]

Can you not? I can hear you. I'm right here.

[ Is this what it's like, being Foggy? Watching Hearing Matt flirt with women whenever they go out? ]

[notthekingpin]

I'm just answering the lady's question, why are you being weird about it?

[devilsavocado]

[ There is no sound for a moment because Matt is too busy rolling his eyes. ]

Sure, Matt. Sure.

[ God, help, he really sounds like Foggy. ]

[notthekingpin]

You're handling all the actual advice just fine. I'm simply here to provide vibes. And then, when you're ready to win in court, you can loop me in.

[devilsavocado]

Are your "vibes" admissible in a court of law?

[notthekingpin]

[ god matt it's obviously meant to be vibes only until he's serious but you know what ]

Yeah, it's an exception to the character evidence rule, actually. Did you miss that part in law school?

[devilsavocado]

[ He knows that, he's just giving Murdock shit (they're both terrible) ]

I must've slept through class that day. I'm sure it's in my notes somewhere.

[notthekingpin]

You can also object to witnesses with rancid vibes. You should try it some time.

[devilsavocado]

Oh, I'll bet the judge would love that.

"Your Honor, the jury should disregard witness' testimony on the basis of rancid vibes."

[notthekingpin]

Sustained.
