Video | welcome, hallo, buenos días, ohayō, etc, etc! | UN: Newt

[Newt comes shuffling into view on the screen, holding a cup of coffee in his hand with a bag of what seems to be Sour Patch Kids harrowingly hanging out from beneath the pinky finger of the very same hand. Disheveled but more than happy to provide his services after dragging himself out of bed, he taps his knuckle on the chalkboard beside him — one that used to be Hermann Gottlieb's, may he rest in peace (in a not dead way — may he rest in peace on a beach or something while wholly alive and thriving).]

Noticed an influx of new and kinda-new faces over the last few days or weeks or whatever.

So here's my handy dandy welcome board! Recently updated, to keep with the times.

Read it over and get a feel for how this place goes; I'm gonna finish off this coffee before I take any questions.

[As he takes the world's most obnoxious-sounding sip and burns his tongue, here's the board in question:]



[And then, after a bit of time, he turns the board over to the other side:]



[No worries, current crew, if you can't get one of those introduction papers in person!

Because he's attached them in file format, too.]

And I'm sure gagh is beloved by Klingons for the same reason.

We do?

( possibly the very best news he's ever heard, ever. )

I'll look forward to meeting him. And thank you for the welcome. ( so weird not to know anyone's titles or honorifics. awkwardly delayed — ) My lord.

[ The past 24 hours had been a whirlwind. And, despite all the answers it contains, this post wasn't making him feel any more anchored to his current insane reality.

...That being said, the uncool accusation is kind of working its peer pressure magic on him. And it's not like he has to be totally honest, right? Sean gets halfway through a crude drawing of himself before giving up in frustration. His newfound lack of depth perception wasn't doing Sean's mood any favors. ]




is this like... a meme or something? why do you need so much information?

I didn't even think about that. ( fitz that's literally what he said it does 😔 ) It almost seems too good to be true.

I did not mean to offend.
( at least now he's pretty sure he's a youngster, all hot temper and quick to the punch. highly critical, as if fitz is not the same way in his big, big age. ) It's a customary bit of politeness where I'm from, but if you find it in poor taste, pay it no mind.
What do you mean, fallen?

Long experience, for sure. You came to the right place.

I'd like to take this conversation one on one for the sake of privacy, however. Do you know where the infirmary is?

[ There are so many things about this that make Sean zero in on it. The painting, for one. Then the wolves. Then the phrase sour yellow balls, eugh. Mostly it's the painting though, a mix of immediate kinship and immediate jealousy mixing together into a strange cocktail.

And he was only eighteen? He must've started drawing when he was like two. ]


wow, that's really good. did you use gouche?

[ The drawing is pretty good, if... weird. Maybe it's like, an avatar or something? Sean draws himself as a raccoon sometimes, he gets it. ]

at least you remember your name, right? lol

This is a human thing?

she's not, you know, against doing it. she's just baffled as to why anyone would bother. port of call for being whisked away somewhere new for her is just indiscriminate murder, of which this is not.

[ It would be pretty funny if he said 'idk' right now, but Sean is neither comfortable nor familiar enough for that.

He also has no idea that the cryptid is talking to him. Thank heaven's for small mercies. ]


Oh, it's got meat and chiles and lime and stuff like that. It's like a stew. I don't know if it's actually my favorite or anything, but it's pretty tasty.

Like, it's not supposed to burn your face off or anything, but it's probably pretty spicy for some people.
