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.]

Not a bad likeness, Finn.

It's hard to believe it's been so long since your birthday... I'm glad we didn't miss it.

[The thought's bittersweet: it'd been on Cirawei, a beautiful world that no longer exists. It's a happy memory, even so.]

[heroooic]

yeah, me too…i was getting pretty sick of being being sixteen

[ And aside from…the planet no longer existing, it had been a nice birthday. Finn remembered it fondly. ]

it’s good to find things to celebrate while we’re here, right? So it’s not all…arguments and feeling sad…

[softshoes]

[Not like Yujin is doing anything to improve the arguments and feeling sad quotient around here...]

Not just good. Maybe even essential. If we can't come together to have a bit of fun, sometimes, we can hardly expect to be able to cooperate well enough to find the orbs.

...And then we can work on cutting down on bickering.

[heroooic]

DEFINITELY think we need more fun! Maybe we need more like…team building excercises? [ He was…mostly. Kidding. ] or game nights and stuff? newt’s movie nights usually go over pretty well.

Do you know any games, profesor Mikotoba?

[ Just don’t tell jake…… ]

[softshoes]

You know? Game nights are a splendid idea. We can't have Newt entertaining us alone all the time.

If we can get our hands on some flower cards-- sorry, Japanese playing cards-- [autotranslate!!] I do know a few card games. They're easy enough for anyone to pick up and for a group to play together.
