Oh man, we have new blood again? Welcome aboard!
I've been saving these stickers for the occasion.
[He sends a snapshot of the stickers in question:]

If you're not a newbie and you really want one, I barter in any of the following: snacks, shiny rocks, manga, monster movies, cool figurines, cigarettes, conversations about tattoos, spaghetti or any type of noodle, cute dimples, cheek kisses, compliments about my boots, neat pictures of any manner of phyla, a tall can of pringles, pens with blue or red ink, caffeine patches, 80's or 90's band shirts, things that hover that shouldn't, fancy scissors, dinosaur stickers, or coffee.
Just come on down to the lab and get your very special prize!
If I'm bumping into tables and jumping six feet in the air because you so much as sneezed in my direction, it's because I'm temporarily blind and literally can't see my own hand in front of my face.
Ciao!

I'm totally fine now, bee-tee-double-you. The infirmary here is state of the art!
[ARE YOU PUT AT EASE???]
no subject
Well, I'm certainly glad to hear that but, what on Earth did you get up to that had you bleeding so much it ruined a pair of pants?
[He sounds maybe just. a LITTLE panicked. And exasperated! But that's kind of normal for him, dw about it.]
no subject
[He rubs the back of his neck.]
You know, it's just. This place isn't always the safest. The last time, it was kind of me stabbing myself? But it was to stop myself from getting possessed. It's complicated, but the orb on the last mission really didn't want us finding it. Or the person who had been using it didn't want us finding it. I'm still not 100% sure on which.
Point is, do your best to avoid getting blood on you, but definitely expect it.

[He sounds, maybe... Just a BIT queasy? He's staying off video though so, sorry Newt, you'll have to base your image of how faint he's probably looking at the moment off of the unhealthy waver in his voice.]
Well. I, um... Appreciate. Your honesty.
[...]
Wait, sorry, when you say possessed...
[DON'T TELL HIM GHOSTS AND EVIL SPIRITS ARE INVOLVED HERE TOO, GOD DAMMIT--]
no subject
[Which is a real development from Mr. Two-Man-Team from the PPDC. But the Ximilia's really taught him being a team player is even more life and death than ever, yanno? With a soft breath, he continues:]
Possessed, yeah. Like, a spirit entering you and controlling you.
That kind of possession.
no subject
[He's... Hm.
He's not even sure what to say to that?? There's a bit of an awkward silence for a moment.]
...I think I'd prefer to go back to talking about stickers, now.
no subject
[Really, he likes the veer in conversation. It's still all kind of tender, you know.]
You want some dino stickers?
I've got the coolest shiny foil dinosaur stickers.
no subject
Um… Dinosaurs are those, er… Big… Plodding, scaly fellows, right?
no subject
... Uh. What year are you from? Out of curiosity?
[He's a little concerned if you're from, like. 2020. Or something.]
no subject
[He knows about this already. About the massive time disparity that exists between some crew members. It's a good thing to know about, but he's also a bit embarrassed to admit...]
1900...
no subject
Oh, wow. You're super old.

You don't even know how tall I am!
no subject
[if you say over 5'5" he's gonna puke]
no subject
[Which is 5'6", sorry bud. Please don't puke ON him.]
no subject
Just — Cut it out!
[THIS IS TOO MUCH]
no subject
[He's genuinely shocked and taken aback by this reaction.]
Sir, I can quite honestly say I have never been called tall once in my life! Just how short are you?!
no subject
[just imagine he's crossing his arms over his chest like it does anything for him]
no subject
Right, and that's... How much in centimeters, exactly...?
[Please don't make him do math.]
no subject
[BEGRUDGINGLY STATED.]
