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

[groupiedrifter]

[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.]

You didn't tell me you were an artist!

[He feels like someone stole his un ...even though that was never actually his un. Well, curiosity skinned the cat and all that. Gotta check this one out.]

Yeah, he's not the greatest at accurate depictions. They are rude poquito cojones though.

What kind of engineering?

[ This message just tumbles through despite himself. ]

Peter!?

[coordination]

[ Damn after his shitty watercolor self portrait he's jealous. ]

[singlelogbridge]

[Mostly because he saw all of that and she's his new hero]

If you don't want to break your streak, feel free to send him my way.

[a2brutus]

Sounds like someone is a known asshole.

[singlelogbridge]

that's one way of putting it. I don't think he has many friends aboard the Ximilia. Can't imagine why not with that pleasant attitude of his, hmm?

I'm Wei Wuxian. I don't believe we've met before.

[a2brutus]

Can't imagine. If he starts shit with me I will shove my metal fist so far up his ass he'll be spitting bolts.

A2, obviously.

[coordination]

With Newton, you can always assume some level of derangement.

[singlelogbridge]

It's nice to make your acquaintance, Miss A2. [A different sort of name than he's used to, but not too different from some others he's heard.]

And don't worry about it, he's all talk unless you're a child.

[a2brutus]

Just A2 is fine. I'm not human, I don't need that sort of stuff.

What do you mean unless you're a child?

[Danger bells are going off.]

[dispassioned]

Mechanical, electric or weapons.

[groupiedrifter]

[Hey, you can't fault a guy for trying! Especially when he's as much a little freak as you are when it comes to the natural world. Please wax poetic to him about the intricacies of flora.]

Uuum, are you kidding me??? I love to hear about that kind of shit! Have you read Pitcher Plants of the Old World by Stewart McPherson??? It's incredible how often we're still finding new or relatively unstudied plants on earth!!

[singlelogbridge]

Just A2 then. [He doesn't mind whether she's human or not, but he'll nearly always default to an Orber's preference.]

I mean he harmed one of the youngest members of the crew. Ostensibly they were training, but as a combat and sparing instructor myself, I'll admit none of my trainings ever landed my students unconscious in the infirmary.

But it's been dealt with. He knows what'll happen to him if he even looks at one of the younger members of our crew again. Although now I'm thinking I might just hand him over to you.

[a2brutus]

If someone is getting their trainee landed in an infirmary, their trainer is doing a shit job and should be fired. But then again, the impression I got from our conversation was that he wasn't particularly intelligent.

Don't worry. I know how to beat someone within an inch of their life. I'd be more than happy to help.

[deaddrop]

You know, I suspect people might notice that after the third or fourth birthday in a row.

[deaddrop]

There would have to be at least one candle. If not, how would you make a wish?

[singlelogbridge]

[That gets a loud laugh out of him. He definitely likes her.]

Your impression is spot on.

And I'm going to keep that in mind. Also remind me never to get on your bad side.

[godslain]

（ with an ANNOYED NOISE, she turns her camera on. stares directly into it. and then clicks it off again. ）

Zehoberei.

[swordandshield]

[That's the spirit! Stick with the dark side! It has way better perks.]

When you spend a decade working with someone that you can't stand to remain the perfect professional, you know it's possible. Profitable even. Very in some cases.

[godslain]

I've answered worse questions. I don't mind that part.

I'm just not well acquainted with human customs.

[godslain]

I do not know this race, but I've certainly met people who would qualify on that alone.

[godslain]

The second grade of what?

[godslain]

Chocolate... that is the thing we had on 'Easter'?

（ she didn't really like it tbh but peter had seemed excited, so. ）
