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.]

i don’t think anyone would know it, considering the last time i had the luxury to sit and enjoy a book for leisure was during my time at sea. i didn’t know alina back then, nor did i know you.

[groza]

No, but you'd never admit anything less than mastery for an ability. Reading or otherwise.

[ravkas]

it's true that i'm literally good at everything and i'm glad you're able to see that so quickly. some people take forever to admit it. they're just being silly.

[groza]

Put me out of my mercy if I ever start fawning over you, clearly I'd be beyond any cure by that point.

[ravkas]

everyone fawns at some point. you would hardly be at fault.

[groza]

If not I, who will keep your ego in check? The crown would no longer fit on your head.

[ravkas]

i'm very wealthy, zoya. we can just make a new one. anything to make the lantsov ancestors roll around in their graves.

[groza]

I've seen the coffers. You're not that wealthy.

And you'd do a better job bucking your family with something understated and tasteful anyway.

[ravkas]

so you're saying you'd turn down some stones on account of their being overstated? a sapphire or a blue spinel?

[groza]

The understated approach is meant for you.
Decorating a Grisha general in ostentatious Lanstov heirlooms is a surefire way to anger any family ghosts though.

[ Haha j/k unless... ]
