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.]

[ YES, TWENTY. THE BIG 2-0. THAT'S HIM. ]

I mean, the lizard guy hit most of the big stuff, so I guess I'm wondering about the small stuff. Like, where are we flying to, do we have chores, is the kitchen open all the time, do we have to cook our own food? That kinda stuff.

[ mmm-hmm. ]

Lizard guy..? Oh, Newt.
I'm not actually sure we're flying anywhere — every planet we've gone to, we get teleported there.
Nothing here is really assigned. People just do what they want to, and be courteous.
Some of us make a lot of extra food that will be labeled for anyone to take if they want. And if you don't know how to cook, there are plenty of us who like to teach it.

I kinda know how to cook. Mostly just like, heating up leftovers, I'm ngl. [ Another thought enters his mind unbidden, as it often did. If it weren't for the neural link, he probably wouldn't have mentioned it at all, but... ] My dad used to do most of the cooking, he was really good at it.

So it's seriously just like... a free for all? No rules? That's kinda cool. I was with a similar group of people before I got here.

[ For a little while, anyway. ]
