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 can't say I'm interested in the shirt, but I am curious.

How long does someone have to listen to you talk about your tattoos to get one?

You're what?

[ area newbie bypasses all the sticker chatter to be concerNED ]

What do you mean, you're not interested? I made them all by hand!

[BE KIND TO HIS CRAFTS, NAT.]

... Does that mean you're gonna listen to me talk about my tattoos?

... Saving stickers shaped like tiny shirts with funny comments on them?

[What's obviously where your second-guessing is coming from, right???]

Sorry, Newt, I'm not really a stickers on her binder kind of girl.

But I do wonder how much listening to you talk about your tattoos is worth. For future barter purposes.

Are you currently temporarily blind? You need some help?

[That is Ed's priority. Not some silly shirt or sticker or whatever. Newt himself is more important and Ed doesn't want him hurting himself in the lab while he is having trouble seeing or something.]

Aw, man... What about stickers on your batons? Your superhero uniform?

[He's been defeated. So easily, too.]

I mean, I could barter time in minutes. I'm always open to tattoo discussion negotiations. Especially tattoos I'm planning on getting in the future! There's a ton I need to catch up on between missions.

Yep!

[He pops the 'p' on that, sounding none too concerned.]

Dude, don't even sweat it. I'm getting used to these weird episodes! I bet if I practice enough, I could even keep doing my usual around the lab without my vision. Maybe I'll start by working without my glasses...

[A+ IDEAS.

Really, he hates the dark — but what can you do? It is what it is.]

[ wheeze ]

Are you alright?

I'm a billion bucks!

Just can't walk anywhere without tripping and/or walking face-first into a wall.

[A pause.]

... I'm kidding! Kidding. I keep my hands out in front of me, so there's no face-smashing. But it's all just a symptom of something I'm working through; it'll go away, newbie.

See, I'd ask what you're planning to get but I've just learned I should hold out until there's something in it for me.

If I listen for fifteen minutes and ask questions, do I get to pick one of the next movies?

[Getting used to the earpiece is a hurdle in and of itself. Getting a picture of a shirt beamed directly into your brain is more than Mikotoba has bargained for, as is... whatever blathering Newt does after. It all kind of blends together, really.

He does catch "temporarily blind", though:]

Sir? Mr... Newt? Are you in need of assistance?

Rand. My name is Rand.

[ he still sounds pretty concerned!!! but, uh, if this guy says he has it in hand,,, ]

You're saying this happens a lot?

... I can be persuaded to allow you to pick one of the next movies.

Fifteen minutes is more than fair. And frankly, I trust your movie-picking skills.

Rand! My name's Newt. Dr. Newton Geiszler — not the medical kind, FYI. I'm more in the realm of figuring out dead things biologically and creating cool gadgets. But I've been working on field training for medical stuff. Anywho!

It happens often, yeah. It's one of my —

Well, wait, back-up. You got acquainted with how the orbs work, yeah?

What? And let you get hurt because you're being too stubborn to take a break and wait for your vision to come back? No. I'm coming to the lab.

[Idiot prodigies gotta look out for each other. Or something. Ed isn't about to let Newt hurt himself by trying to keep going through this. Even if the other tries to reassure him.]

[You're gonna have to get used to random, unwanted ramblings from this one, sorry my guy.]

Just Newt, man! Only my favorite lovely dancers in Boston called me Mr. Newt.

[He will not elaborate.]

I'm like three knocks away from breaking my knee on chairs and stools at this rate, buuut... I think I'm doing alright! This isn't the first time I've had to figure it out. Best way to ride a bike is to just go for it solo, right?

[There's a clang and an OOF. He has bumped into another chair.

Knee cap +10 damage.]

An... [ um. ] ...academic, you mean?

[ aka: a far ways from his wheelhouse. but anyway. ]

They cause chaos. We're gathering pieces from different worlds [ he manages not to stumble over that word, ] and bringing them here, in exchange for our wishes.

[She might make him regret that.]

All right. So what's next on your list of tattoos to get?

[ Joric is just going to turn up at the lab to see if Newt really is blind. He is in no way sneaky about entering, though. He just heads in and approaches. ]

What does a sticker do?

Er... yes, well. Newt, then.

[He sounds mildly uncomfortable omitting the 'Mr'. Why are you making a Victorian use a first name, Newt.]

Professor Yujin Mikotoba-- as new blood myself, I'm very pleased to make your acquaintance.

[A beat.]

Shouldn't you... have a seat, Mr. Newt? [He's already forgotten, oops.] 'Figuring it out' shouldn't take breaking a kneecap, man.

Er... Wait, I thought the whole idea was that we were supposed to get more than just shirts out of the deal...?

[Did he misread the fine print somehow??]

...Wouldn't it make more sense if they said "stickers"?

I want the sticker and the T-shirt. What do I have to do to get a real actual shirt made?

Let me get this straight...you're just giving these away?

[Finn was already impressed with this guy making his own stickers, the fact that they were funny was icing on the cake. Maybe 'sixteen year old with no internet experience' was the exact target audience for these stickers.]
