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.]

that's right!
I performed on the regular while I was still on Earth!! ✨

[coordination]

I see. So it's a career, then.

[ He almost doesn't ask the next question. Odds of anyone from his own universe are slim to none. But ... he knows too well of how influenced one can be by a certain singer in his own world. Though he doesn't assume just anyone would go the lengths the last imposter did. ]

The name Lacus Clyne isn't familiar to you, is it?

[windsongs]

I'd say it's more like a side gig
but I was working on making it a career! getting pretty close too!!

[ That's incredibly optimistic. ]

nope never heard of them
somebody you know back home?

[coordination]

Worth a shot.

She's



much more than just a singer, where I'm from.

But she sings.

[windsongs]

someone important to you?
or important to other people too?

[ Don't think that she's missed the implication here, even if she doesn't know who this Lacus is. ]

[coordination]

[ Good thing this is through text so she can't hear the little choked noise Yzak makes, the accompanying face he makes. ]

She's important to all of my people! And an admirable number of people on Earth, too. Due to her actions during war time and her aid and leadership in the aftermath of it.

[windsongs]

[ Ah. She probably shouldn't have put it that way, huh? ]

sorry I didn't realize
I didn't mean to be insensitive or to offend you, I promise

I can't say whether or not she exists on the Earth I'm from, but I don't know the name
and my singing isn't nearly that important, trust me
I mostly perform at clubs nowadays when I have the time

[coordination]

I'm not offended.

[ Just stupid and awkward and overreacts to everything, as she'll soon learn for herself after knowing him for, say, 5 minutes. ]

If you don't know her name, then you're definitely not from the same universe.




Major Yzak Jule. If you couldn't guess from the username. [ Since he didn't actually fill this survey out himself. ]

[windsongs]

[ A military officer? Huh. ]

nice to meet you Yzak
or should I call you Major Jule?

[coordination]

[ God his little gremlin ass ego loves being called by his rank. But, ]

Whatever you prefer. This team doesn't have any sort of ranking system. It's my title from home.

[windsongs]

what I'd prefer would probably be weird unless you're from the same place I am
so let's go with Yzak
you can call me Hibiki

[coordination]

Fine. Hibiki.

What would be weird about it?

[windsongs]

back home you usually call someone by your family name
unless you know them well enough that you don't have to
it's a formality thing...... which I honestly don't really like so ┐(´ー｀)┌

[coordination]

Ah, right. You did mention Japan.

What part are you from?
