[Text] 1st Creation: A Call For Help

[creatability]

[It's early in the evening when a network post goes up. Rather than voice or video, she's sending out text for reasons which will become obvious as people read.]

I know this probably isn't the place for it, but something's happened to my uncle, Matt Murdock. Retrospec gave him some sort of ability and it seems to be affecting his senses.

He seems to be hearing things, and smelling things, and it's making him incredibly sensitive to just about everything. I do not know what to do.

He needs help but I don't think that the hospital can do anything but make it worse. I've already given him earplugs but I want to help him more! Does anyone have any advice, or experience with anything like this at all?

Also, to anyone that he works with? Please don't expect him to come in to work until he's gotten a handle on this. I don't think he can leave the house without being in horrible pain.

Pain. Other Matt problem.

[ Or other life problem? No! Don't think about that right now. It'll make the headache worse. ]

[frostythehitman]

what's that supposed to mean though
pain from what
how are you smelling yourself into pain?

[blessmefather]

Imagine smelling all your sister's cosmetics, all the food in your kitchen, and all of the garbage in the house at the same time to start.

[frostythehitman]

okay
that's pretty gross
and you're hearing everything like that too?

[blessmefather]

Yes. I can hear conversations in other buildings. That's with the earplugs in.

[frostythehitman]

can you hear this

[ and then he sticks his head out his bedroom window and bellows: ]

HEY MATT CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW

[blessmefather]

No.
I'm not going to stick my head out the window and unplug my ears to test if I can hear you from across town. Not with this headache.

[frostythehitman]

well you're never gonna get over it if you keep coddling it like that

[blessmefather]

Pretty sure avoiding the things that triggered the headache is on page one in the medical book.

[frostythehitman]

pretty sure the medical books don't know how to handle companies that magically grant you crappy superpowers whenever they want
what else are you gonna do
just chug tylenol for the rest of your life?

[blessmefather]

I'll gain control over this power. Just like the Other Matt did. Then no Tylenol will be necessary.

[frostythehitman]

that's what i'm saying
if you want control over it you gotta get used to it
look let me come over i have an idea for this

[blessmefather]

As long as this idea doesn't involve tossing all the medicine in the garbage.

[ Could be the headache reducing his ability to make good judgement but he tells his phone to text James his apartment address. ]

No need to knock when you arrive. I'll hear you coming.
