[ ooc: For those unfamiliar with Daredevil, Matt is blind meaning he cannot see the screens on the communication devices. He does however have enhanced senses that allow him to perceive people's body movements. You are welcome to either take on the challenge of communicating with him via other means (as I expect the first month to go) or we can assume he has settled in and either learned the local sign language or regained his refreshing braille display so he can read messages on his device. ]
Settling in
This new arrival has had natives fussing over him quite a bit. They make a point of leading him around more than with previous newcomers. They seem to be discussing some sort of technological communication challenge judging by the sign language others catch them expressing in passing. The newcomer has been given a communication device but it remains untouched; he opts instead to use a notepad and pen when speaking to others. The tricky part is when they wish to tell him something. Some squeeze his hand a certain number of times, some write single words on his palm with a finger, others jot down notes on the notepad and he runs his fingers over it. A few properly understand his abilities and realize they can nod their heads yes or no.
There is work to be done so the same people can't spend all day with him. If you happen to be free you might get dragged into leading the new arrival from place to place, room to room so he can learn the layout of his new surroundings without bumping into anything and making noise.
Falling down the stairs
The first few nights of this dream were painful, now Matt is starting to go numb. He knows the routine, the collage of loved ones lost that has been run through so many times it's starting to bleed together. He's starting to find his father's dead body on the ground or floor in the other memories. In the basement floor as his teacher gives up on him, on the roof of the warehouse where Elektra sacrificed herself. Falling is relaxing in comparison; it feels like he can breathe, at least until the moment he finds himself crashing into the dusty ground again.
It seems he has company this time. He gets to his feet and debates whether or not to bother dusting himself off. With a sigh he offers a hand to the other person who fell next to him.
