[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.

Is trying to help talking around him? You can only make your own best judgements and he can always correct you once he is recovered.

[creatability]

Whispering is sometimes too loud.

It's definitely Retrospec doing something like what they did to me. Only way worse.

[anguinous]

[ Oh, you mean literally talk around him. Laurent took it as figuratively, making decisions for him. ]

Something they did to you?

[ Partly asking to avoid admitting his lapse in English, it's his second language and Laurent is painfully aware of his own mistakes already. ]

Like a lot of people, I have gained abilities that aren't natural.

Like my poor uncle, though the downside is not nearly so bad. I just get ridiculously hungry.

[anguinous]

[ Well, that is both suitably vague and unhelpful. Though the hunger reminds him of Noah, and other members of team Absinthe who had alarming appetites.

Still --]

Hungry doesn't seem so terrible so long as you can afford to feed yourself.

I suppose I wish you and your uncle good luck. Although [ Laurent pauses, scrolls up and down this post again and winces. ] I would say while the logic of giving him something to focus on is sound, if someone brought something strong smelling near me while I had a migraine I'd probably vomit.
