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 don’t know what candy is?

[buckkeep]

That is what I said, isn't it?

[morethan084]

when are you from?

[buckkeep]

The Six Duchies, outside of Buck.
I'm a farmer, and I live in a cabin with my foster boy. We've no room for candy or movie or other such things.

[morethan084]

cant say im familiar with it

candies are just sweet treats

whats your foster boy's name?

[buckkeep]

Oh, I see. Like honeycakes, then?

His name is Hap. He's a good boy.

( not that he hasn't been stressing his dad out very badly as of late!! )

[morethan084]

Cakes are different. I'm sure there's candy around here somewhere, I could find you some to try.

I'm sure he is. How old is Hap?

[buckkeep]

That's generous. Thank you.

Sixteen, now. He's at that age when all he thinks about is impressing girls. I've no idea what I'm doing with him, most of the time.

[morethan084]

Sounds like you’re doing the best you can do, which is all anyone can ask

[buckkeep]

( fitz, unused to compliments, takes this one just about like this: 🧍‍♂️ )

I could try harder. And I intend to.
But, thank you. Have you any children of your own?

[morethan084]

Uh, no

No children
