[ 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))

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.

[notthekingpin]

I don't know, he might be one of those boring straight-laced alter boys who is into monogamy.

[southernchere]

Oh? And I take it you enjoy havin' a lotta gals around your arms?

[notthekingpin]

I'm not particular, I just like to have a good time.

[southernchere]

They do say life is too short to have your britches in a twist and being uppity. But piddlin' around too much ain't too good, neither.

[ he can hear the smile in her voice, though, in spite of her words. ]

But being an X-Man means cleanin' up messes, so I guess I can handle just a teeny tiny one from you.
