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.]

Are you sure? Sitting is relaxing and relaxing is fun, I think!

[he thinks? (does anakin know how to relax???)]

[facultative]

Meditating isn't relaxing either.

[He's just being stubborn.]

[deferences]

[yeah, he sure is. sizhui heaves a sigh, suddenly rather glad they aren't face-to-face, lest anakin sees his exasperation.]

But... that's the whole point of meditating?

[facultative]

Sleeping works just as well and you won't even notice the time go by.

[deferences]

You aren't wrong. What if you're only allowed to sleep during certain times, though?

[facultative]

Are you five?

[deferences]

[immediately, sizhui wants to reply with ‘yes’, just to troll this guy, but.]

No, I follow a strict set of rules in my sect. We wake up early and cannot stay up late.

[facultative]

[So he's six.]

You know no one is going to stop you here.

[deferences]

[and a half!!!]

I know they won't. Some might even encourage it, but it's the principle of the thing.

[facultative]

Sure, but taking a nap doesn't stop you from doing any of that either.

[deferences]

I suppose it doesn't... There is a lot of free time that needs filling while we're here, after all.
