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.]

I am not speaking of a sentient creature. A little mechanical toy.

Are they so where you're from?

[hindsights]

oh, yeah that's different.

we have both where i'm from.

if you're talking about a droid, some of them say it's rude to call them a robot.

[godslain]

Then I will endeavour not to call any droids robots.

But it is irrelevant to my point: that there are toys adults can enjoy.

[hindsights]

They'll appreciate that, I think.

I guess if you consider stuff like blasters toys?

[godslain]

No.

No weapons.

Do you like puzzles?

[hindsights]

Kinda? I like solving them.

Usually the kind I've encountered involve ancient chambers and trying to navigate boobytraps to reach something. [ video game protag problems? ]

[godslain]

I will find you a puzzle you will enjoy.

It will not involve boobytraps.

[hindsights]

What'll it involve?

[godslain]

You will find out later.

（ and that, as they say, is... that? ）

🎀

[hindsights]

Looking forward to it. I think?

[ you are somehow very ominous, ma'am ]
