text / audio | un: newt
Alright, let's not be total wallflowers at prom here, if we're going to be stuck together for the foreseeable future, I think it's only right that we (read: I) start getting to know all of my fellow space cadets. If we're ACTUALLY in space and this isn't some humongous simulation. You guys saw how easy it was for this place to manufacture a hyper-realistic simulation earlier, right? Yikes, big yikes.
But if we ARE in space and we're going to be traveling around, that's actually kind of AWESOME.
No offense to anyone who didn't want to actually be here of course, but you're nuts if you're not a LITTLE curious about the vast expanse of outer space. C'mon. OUTER SPACE! How incredible is that? And here I thought me coming face to face with aliens back home was INCREDIBLE, now we've got ACTUAL OUTER SPACE??? Pinch me I'm in a simulation. LOL.
Sorry I'm rambling, my name's Newt. Dr. Newton Geiszler, but but that sounds so much more boring and overcomplicated than 'Newt', so just stick with that. Worked as a xenobiologist on earth (is there multiple earths or what??? a lot of you are crazy unfamiliar with Kaiju, which is wild to me), helped giant robots fight aliens, the usual. Likes are rock music, playing instruments, tattoos, science and tech, dislikes are bossy pushovers who complain about those things.
Speaking of which, my really good pal from home's name is Hermann Gottlieb, and you should call him Herm to make him REALLY feel at home. :)
It's nice to meet you guys on the NEWTwork. ;P
... Actually—

—can I just abruptly switch to an audio function?
[A pause, and then an excitable:]
Holy shit, how awesome is that?! This is amazing; we've made some pretty monumental gains in technology back home, but we're still working on finessing the finer aspects of neuralogically connecting to networks like these for the general population. I'd love to take one of these apart sometime and see what makes them tick. Good to have an idea of what to expect, in case we need modifications or repairs done at any point.
Anyway. Uh. Hey!
... This whole voices-in-your-head thing can't be good for my train of thought, but geronimo, right?
[If anyone listens beyond that, they may catch the accidental thought-to-audio that follows:]
Wha — oh, dammit.
I sure hope this is the last nosebleed, because I would rather not worry about having accidental brain damage from drifting with aliens.

[ Even when there's a Vast Void of Space right behind a wall. Don't think too much about it. Just don't ]
Personally, this whole... telephone in your brain thing, freaks me out? Like, what if yer thoughts give a runnin' commentary durin' the convo. Is that gettin' transmitted too? Suddenly internal sass is the easiest way to get into some shit. If not for that I could swear it's some reality tv prank.
[ He might have suspected it at first, but he's past the denial stage. ]
Anyway, nice to meet ya. I got the reference, of some things you mentioned, ya know— Earth, rock music, kaiju movies, big robots, tattoos and other shit too, not so much the aliens part
audio;
There are too many people around in my field with monumental sticks up their asses; someone's gotta balance it out.
[The amount of weirdly snooty, pristine-like scientists who refuse to get drunk at a concert at midnight in a city they don't know full of a language they can't speak is frankly boring. Newt would rather avoid being that kind of weird, even if it ends up a little overbearing, you know?]
... Boy, I sure hope people take their ear pieces out before they bone down.
[Sorry, that's the first thought that came to mind. He's refocusing.]
But right, okay. Kaiju movies works. And mecha anime. My life's kind of full of those things, only it's a teeny less glamorous. I'm sure if we had more funds and time, we could have made our giant robots as glitzy as Gundams, though. Totally.
no subject
Hard to wrap my head that all this anime stuff is real-deal somewhere— but that's rich to say when we're stuck on a space station. So hey, self-awareness. Whateva' ya made is waaaay more impressive than a plastic model.
[ Since it... shoot things or punched kaiju in the face. Unless Newt is pranking them all with the story, but hey, rolling with it. Rolling with anything that comes his way, is the way to go. ]
So yer— more of Bon Jovi or Pink Floyd fan? [ Since someone mentioned rock music, and as far as international acts go, the lives of these two bands drummed quite an uproar in Osaka. ]
no subject
Oh, but you're talking pretty old-school. Personally, it can depend on the mood, but I can't deny that Pink Floyd is full of musical geniuses. I used to listen to The Wall on repeat when I was in college; one of those that really got you pumped up and ready to fight stupid choices by the government.
[has he ever mentioned he LoVeS MuSiC]
How about you?
no subject
[ Passion is a good thing, and music can make or break a day ]
Ya got me, I cheated. I mostly know these two big shots because their live tours been a huge thing this year— myself, I used to be into a local rock scene, most bands didn't make it big outside a prefecture, let alone the world. Then life happened, and it's easier to drop by a disco for quick fun, rather than arrange a whole-ass day trip to a live house.
[ Adulthood sucks, some would say. ]
Which makes me wonder, 'bout that old-school thing ya mentioned— wouldn't call these big shots 'old' ya know? So I'm gonna run ahead and ask which year is it for ya? Not every day you get to learn of an imminent alien kaiju invasion— [ It's just as likely that there are really different "Earths", but the idea of it being a possible future is just absurd enough to entertain it. The teasing tone also becomes more prominent as he assures ] Promise I ain't gonna lift yer ideas and pass them as my own.
no subject
Dude, that sounds awesome. I've never been to a disco before.
[No, wait, focus. Okay.]
... It's 2025 for me, actually. How about you?
no subject
Shit ]
Disco-ball, dancing feathered fans, bodycons, ya name it, it's full package ...the real deal disco of 1988. [ Guess he's not going to see a kaiju apocalypse ] That's quite a difference, sheesh, a whole lifetime of one.
[ A beat ]
That makes me yer senior. [ No matter what their actual current ages ]
no subject
[He grins.]
I haven't been born just yet, where you're from, so that's completely factual; I'm a 90's kid, just barely! January of 1990.
[Which honestly explains a lot about him, t b h.]
no subject
So, Jaeger's huh? That's the name of yer Gundams, right? How big are they?
[ When in doubt, ask questions to make customer talk was the first advice he gave to all the girls working with him. Keep the conversation flow. Distracts self from a minor I FEEL OLD crisis ]
no subject
They're not just piloted by one person, though; in order to pilot a Jaeger, you've got to drift with another person. Share the neural load, perform the handshake.
no subject
[ Though flying machines size of that statue? Hell yeah, that's badass ]
I'm totally lost on the neural mumbo-jumbo but I feel vindicated that more than one person is needed to pilot them. I mean, most planes needs two pilots if not more. Makes sense somethin' this size needs a crew.
no subject
... I guess we don't really need Jaegers anymore, though.
Makes me kind of sad that I won't be helping improve them anymore...
no subject
Now that's a plot twist. So the war's over?
no subject
...
It's more complicated than that, but also not really much more complicated than that.
no subject
Ya makin' it sound easy, but I'm guessin' it's the logistics that were the biggest hurdle.
