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—


[Suddenly, the text turns into audio, in which a higher voice with some focal fry bleeds in-]

—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.

I showed up and my clothes were too big, which was the first sign, and then everything else just felt off. I haven't really tried to measure myself yet but I've got to be at least half a foot shorter here.

Someone suggested they, Viveca, whoever works with her, was trying to do me a favor. My head grazes the ceilings in the ship as it is. Might've been hard to get around if I was too tall for the hallways. I've gotten used to it now, I guess.

I did.

And I gather that you're on the shorter end. Let me guess, around five to six foot? Starting to feel like my world's an outlier.

No, just that you're all small.

[He's very good at deadpan. But after a second:]

Most people at home are around your height, but plenty more are taller. I'm only a little over average. I've seen a few humans double my height.
callada: (at least I laugh at myself)

[personal profile] callada 2021-07-11 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm pretty good at drinking games, too. Just as a word of warning.

You got me there.

So I suppose if we ever find ourselves in need of something to do, we'll have to settle on something neutral. How are you at cards?

Well then, sounds like you're on, if at some point we all decide to lose money we don't have. I can't say I'm great at poker, but I've played my share of it.
