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.]

makes sense!
so it's less that people have to fight and more those who know how do it instead of everyone needing to
sounds like my training will come in handy then!!

what can I say? I don't like being bored!
sitting still and doing nothing makes me antsy

[heroooic]

well you’re definitely not gonna be bored here

[ there was a lot to say about the missions, and the challenges they all faced together (or less together)…but rarely was it boring. ]

it can be hard to stay busy between missions at first, but there’s usually something to do…training or helping in the medbay, or cooking! Everyone tries to bring their own stuff to table, you know?

[ finn hoped that sounded optimistic, or welcoming and not tragically dull. ]

[ Right, cooking. She won't be the only one around anymore, she can make meals with and for other people. Maybe she can pull out some of those old recipes...

Wow, why is that what hits her the hardest? ]

sounds fun actually!
and I mean training is obviously way up there for me but I'm curious
what do YOU do for fun between missions? if you don't mind me asking
