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.]

What's your favorite dance?

[softshoes]

Tap dancing! But it's fun to learn others, too.

[oiorpata]

That makes sense.

I can't tap dance for shit, but I love watching it.

[softshoes]

Then I'd be happy to show you sometime. Although, I'm afraid I'm a bit out of practice.

[no one here is doing dance-based investigations with him, so he doesn't get the chance to do much tap, unfortunately.]

If you ever want to try again, it might even help me shake off some of the dust.

[oiorpata]

All the more reason to practice. Get back into it.

I'll definitely take you up on it though. Dancing's fun. [ and not just the club kind!! as long as there have been people, there's been music and dancing, of course she loves it. ]

[softshoes]

I guessed you were a fan. [maybe people do stay out that late just to party, but Andy doesn't strike him as the type.]

But not that you had tried tap specifically. Most orbers seem to be further along than I, on the timeline, and I'd assumed you were as well. I would have thought it had fallen out of fashion.

[oiorpata]

[ sometimes she is the type. but sometimes she also just enjoys dancing. ]

It's a pretty new style in the grand scheme, but you can find pockets of dancers who still perform even if the heyday is over.

It was 2020 or so before I arrived here, so you're not wrong about that much.
