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.]

[zune]

it's a candy

sweet gummy on the inside dipped in sour sugar

so you know, you get a little bit of both

trust me man, they're great

though they do tend to get stuck in your teeth

[windsongs]

but why would you ruin a perfectly good candy by making it sour??

[ Serving hot takes here, apparently. ]

[zune]

it's for the nuance, man!

[ because mass-produced shitty candy absolutely looks out for nuance in mouthfeel

yep ]

[windsongs]

yeah if I want my mouth all torn up
I wonder if you dunk them in water if it'll get rid of the sour part

[ But mouthfeel, Hibiki! Also who wants to eat slimy candy, what is wrong with you? ]

[zune]

[ literally!!!! ]

what? why??

might as well just go for a regular bag of gummy bears then

[ or are you gonna find some fault in those too, hibiki? huh? hUH?? ]

[windsongs]

because sour is the literal worst!!!

have you never had gummies from Japan before?
there are like
so many flavors
they're probably waaaaay better than those sour ones










the ones you gotta put together are kinda weird though we don't talk about those

[zune]

that's a place on earth, right?

'cause here's the thing: i was kinda abducted from there when i was 8

haven't been back since
